QWEN IMAGE 2.1 PROMPT WRITER FOR GOOGLE GEMINI
==============================================

A Gem that turns a short idea into one long, detailed text-to-image prompt for
Qwen Image 2.1. You paste that prompt into the Text to Image workflows in this
folder. It never makes pictures itself: the whole reply is the prompt, in a box
with a copy button.


THE EASY WAY: USE MY GEM
------------------------

Open this link, it is free and needs only a Google account:

  https://gemini.google.com/gem/1E8HAcT9e3tJ1d_7ntg2chmU54p_zSGt1?usp=sharing

Bookmark it. The "New chat" button in Gemini's sidebar opens plain Gemini, not
the Gem.


MAKE YOUR OWN COPY (OPTIONAL)
-----------------------------

1. Go to Gemini on the web, open Gems, and create a New Gem.
2. Name it, for example "Qwen Image 2.1 Prompts".
3. Open the file "Qwen Image 2.1 Text to Image - INSTRUCTIONS (paste) v11.txt",
   select all of it, and paste it into the Gem's Instructions box.
   There is no knowledge file to upload for this one.
4. Leave "Default tool" on "No default tool". Never give it an image tool.
5. Save, then open the Gem's own chat.


USING IT
--------

1. Type an idea with a subject and at least one detail:
     a cat sleeping on a windowsill at sunset
     a poster for a jazz festival
     macro photo of a bee on a sunflower
   A single word such as "dragon" may fail on Gemini's side.
   Any language works; the prompt comes back in English.

2. Copy the box and paste it into the Prompt node of a workflow in the
   "1. Text to Image" folder: 1 (Text to Image), 2 (Low VRAM) or 6 (Turbo).

3. Pick the size in the Sizes node. The prompt never names a size:
     tall, such as 832 x 1248, for people, characters and posters
     wide, such as 1248 x 832 or 1376 x 768, for scenes
     1024 x 1024 for logos and stickers

4. To change it, say so in the same chat:
     make it night / closer / make it a watercolour / give her a red coat
   It writes the whole prompt again and keeps everything you did not ask to
   change.


TIPS
----

* WORDS IN THE PICTURE: put them in double quotes in your idea, such as
  a logo for a coffee shop called "PIXA COFFEE"
  Qwen spells quoted words exactly, typos included, so check them.
* POSTERS, COVERS, LABELS, INFOGRAPHICS with no words given: the Gem writes
  believable short lines (title, date, place). Swap in your own before you run.
* TRANSPARENT BACKGROUND: say "transparent background" or "sticker". The Gem
  uses Qwen's own two sentences that switch transparency on. Use workflow
  "5. Qwen Image 2.1 - Text to Image - Transparent PNG".
* SELFIES: ask for a selfie and the phone stays out of the picture, with the arm
  holding it reaching out of the frame. Ask for a mirror selfie if you want to
  see the phone.
* MACRO: "macro photo of ..." makes the small thing fill the frame.
* The Gem leaves made-up signs, labels and t-shirt prints out on purpose:
  small made-up words come out as scrambled letters in Qwen. If you want words
  somewhere, write them in quotes in your idea.


IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG
-----------------------

* "Sorry, something went wrong" or a box that starts twice: that is Gemini, not
  the Gem. Send the idea again or word it a little differently. Insect ideas do
  this more often than others.
* After about 40 to 50 requests in an hour Gemini starts refusing everything for
  a while, even in a normal chat. Wait and try later.
* Gemini knows roughly where you are and may put your city on a poster. Name the
  place yourself or edit that line.
* A poster can still get a made-up date or website line. Replace it before you
  run.
