When to use it

Use when you have a trip photo and want it as a hand-painted journal page with your own note, date and place on it.

How to get the best result

  • Write the notes as one or two short diary lines; they are hand-lettered beside the sketch, so long text crowds it.
  • Keep the title to a few words, since it sits at the top in medium handwriting above the whole scene.
  • Treat the date and location as stamp text, a day and a place name each, since both are rendered as small stamps.

Watch-outs

  • The prompt wants 'the attached photo' but has no image control; attach it in the generator or the scene is invented.
  • Four handwritten strings is a lot; keep each exact and short, because loosely described text comes back as scribble.
  • 'Vertical poster' in the prompt does not set the output; pick a portrait ratio in the generator.
