Leonardo AI Pro Tips
π Choose control upfront: Style/Content/Character Reference for consistency; Alchemy for fidelity; Prompt Magic for short prompts.
π Tune reference strength low β high until layout stays intact but styling translates.
π Lock composition first, upscale late: finalize crop/color, then Upscale or export Alchemy high-res.
π Canvas for micro-edits: inpaint logos/props, outpaint for banner bleed or social-safe margins.
π Series consistency: fix a seed and reuse the same Style/Character refs across all variants.
π Remix photos, donβt restart: Style Reference + Content Reference to restyle while preserving layout.
π Video from the best still: generate a strong key image, then send to AI Video Generator for short loops.
π SEO touches: add descriptive alt text (product + context), compress, and name files predictably (campaign_hero_v03.webp).
π Build a brand kit: palette hex, typography cues, lighting notes; paste into every brief for alignment.
π A/B one variable at a time: color or background or angle; track winners by CTR/time on page.
