Prompt Like a Pro: Mastering Google’s Nano Banana Model on 123RF.com

Let’s be real for a second: staring at a blank text box waiting for an AI to generate "art" can feel like trying to explain a dream to a toddler. You ask for a "cool cyberpunk city," and you get... a neon mess.

But here’s the thing—the problem isn’t usually the AI. It’s the translation.

At 123RF.com, we’re all about Real Freedom to Create, which is why we’ve integrated Google’s Nano Banana model directly into our 123RF AI Image Generator. It’s fast, it’s scary good at understanding nuances, and it’s ready to turn your brain-dumps into visuals. But to get the best out of 123RF, you need to speak the language.

Here is your step-by-step workflow to dominating AI art on 123RF.

Step 1: The Setup

First off, head over to the 123RF AI Image Generator. Make sure you’ve selected the Nano Banana model. This engine is a beast at photorealism and complex lighting, so don't be afraid to get detailed.

Step 2: Anatomy of a Prompt with Nano Banana

A lot of creators stop at the subject. "A dog wearing a hat." Cute, but basic. To get those jaw-dropping results on 123RF, you need to layer your prompt.

Here is the formula we swear by at 123RF: [Subject] + [Art Style] + [Lighting/Atmosphere] + [Camera Angle/Composition]

Let’s watch a prompt evolve using 123RF AI Image Generator:

• Level 1 (Basic): "A futuristic car."

  • Result: Generic sci-fi vehicle.

• Level 2 (Better): "A futuristic sports car driving through a rainy Tokyo street at night, cyberpunk style."

  • Result: Now we’re getting somewhere. The 123RF generator picks up on the "cyberpunk" and "rainy" cues perfectly.

• Level 3 (123RF Pro): "A hyper-realistic futuristic sports car, wet pavement reflections, neon red and blue lighting, cinematic shot, low angle, shot on 35mm lens, 8k resolution."

Step 3: Fix It in Post

Okay, so you got a sick image from the 123RF Image Generator, but something is missing and it looks too empty. Do not—we repeat, do NOT—trash the whole image.

Stay right there in the 123RF dashboard and switch to 123RF AI Generative Fill.

1. Upload your generated image.

2. Click "Change" and use the brush to highlight the area you want to fill in. You can even prompt.

3. Describe the new object to replace. For example, "add a drone above the car".

4. Watch our AI magically add the object in seamlessly as if it was always mean't to be there.

You can also use this to remove things. There’s a random trash can in the background throwing off the vibe? Just simple head to the "Remove" tab and and brush in the area and hit remove.

Step 4: The Final Glow-Up

You’ve got the composition. You’ve got the lighting. But if you want to use this for a print campaign or a high-res website banner, you need pixels.

This is where the both 123RF AI Image Extender and 123RF AI Image Upscaler comes in clutch.

Take your final image and run it through the both tools. We don't just stretch the image (that’s how you get pixelated nightmares); our AI actually creates new pixels, sharpen details and increase resolution without losing quality. It’s the final polish that takes your image from "cool AI generation" to "professional use-case asset."
