FAQ
- How do I make the neon lights a different color?Simply locate the phrases 'amber glow' and 'cyan light' within the prompt and replace them with your preferred color combinations, such as 'magenta glow' and 'lime green light', to instantly alter the atmosphere.
- Why is the background not blurry enough?If the city lights in the background appear too sharp, add stronger photography terms to the prompt. Try inserting phrases like 'extreme bokeh effect' or 'f/1.4 aperture' to force the AI to blur the background elements.
