Generative AI is a powerful design assistant, but it relies entirely on the information it\u2019s given. When <a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/ai-art-prompts\" target=\"_blank\">AI image prompts<\/a> are unclear, references are missing, or settings are mismatched, AI image generation issues are almost inevitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most graphics generation issues can be traced back to a small set of common input problems, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ambiguous or conflicting prompts<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Missing image references<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lack of cues regarding layout, angle, or composition\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Low image quality<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Too much \u2018randomness\u2019<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inconsistency in style direction<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to realize that these common AI problems aren\u2019t software \u2018bugs\u2019; they&#8217;re simply how generative AI interprets provided instructions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/labs.envato.com\/graphics-gen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GraphicsGen<\/a> has been specifically <a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/what-is-graphics-gen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">designed with creatives<\/a> in mind, so most (if not all) of these issues can be overcome with some knowledge of the options available to you in the <a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/ai-graphic-design\">AI design tool<\/a>. Some issues can be solved through the designer&#8217;s input, such as refining prompts, but others can be put right by simply using GraphicsGen&#8217;s built-in features to steer the AI generation in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/graphicsgen-dashboard.jpg\" alt=\"GraphicsGen interface \u2013 Envato AI graphics generator\" class=\"wp-image-94926\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/graphicsgen-dashboard.jpg 850w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/graphicsgen-dashboard-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/graphicsgen-dashboard-768x579.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common graphics generation issues and how to fix them<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When <a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/ai-image-fails\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AI image fails<\/a>, and <strong>graphics generation issues<\/strong> appear, they can feel frustrating, especially when you\u2019re under pressure to deliver. The key is learning to recognise these AI design errors early and knowing which adjustments will fix them fastest. The troubleshooting tips below address the most common graphics-generation issues designers encounter when using AI tools like GraphicsGen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Issue 1: <\/strong>Graphics that don\u2019t match your project&#8217;s needs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cause: <\/strong>Not specifying the exact type of graphic you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fix: <\/strong>You might need a graphic for a particular purpose, such as a logo, background, or social media image.

These sophisticated troubleshooting strategies can really help refine your results and achieve imagery that rarely looks AI-generated in the first place.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strategy 1: Inpainting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This technique homes in on a single problem area of your image while preserving the rest of the image intact. For raster images, this can be done using a tool like <a href=\"https:\/\/labs.envato.com\/image-edit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ImageEdit<\/a>, in which the <strong>Erase<\/strong> tool can be applied to specific areas. For vector images, you might need to download your graphic as an editable\u00a0<strong>SVG<\/strong>\u00a0and use vector editing software to make pinpoint adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strategy 2: Variation testing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine you have a long prompt with plenty of detail. Now, rather than switching up multiple parts of the prompt or changing the prompt entirely when the resulting image is not what you intended, you can instead tweak very minute parts of a prompt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your generated images stem from the same strong base input, with slight differences, allowing you to test different subtle variations. For example, you might change the description of a texture from\u00a0\u2018wool\u2019\u00a0to\u00a0\u2018mohair\u2019\u00a0to create a fluffier result, or vary the angle from\u00a0&#8216; side angle\u2019\u00a0to\u00a0\u2018isometric\u2019.<em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/mohair-texture.jpg\" alt=\"mohair texture graphicsgen troubleshooting graphics generation issues ai\" class=\"wp-image-94938\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/mohair-texture.jpg 850w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/mohair-texture-300x236.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/mohair-texture-768x604.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strategy 3: Prompt stacking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a reason that \u2018in at the deep end\u2019 is a phrase often used as a warning. When you go all in with a long, complex prompt and still don\u2019t get the results you want, you may feel the need to go back to the drawing (or prompt) board. Prompt stacking is about building prompts gradually, step by step, so you can refine style and structure over successive generations. It\u2019s a sensible technique for retracing your steps effectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strategy 4: Reference blending<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The more guidance you can provide to an AI generator, the better, and with reference blending, this simply means providing multiple visual references to create hybrid results. With GraphicsGen, you can provide up to <strong>two image references<\/strong>, including your own image uploads or references from the GraphicsGen deck. For one of your images, try to include an accurate representation of the style you\u2019d like to achieve, such as Atomic Age, Art Deco, or futuristic, with the second image providing additional aesthetic pointers, such as color palette or subject matter.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"306\" src=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/advanced-strategies-1.jpg\" alt=\"advanced strategy graphicsgen troubleshooting graphics generation issues ai\" class=\"wp-image-94939\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/advanced-strategies-1.jpg 850w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/advanced-strategies-1-300x108.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/advanced-strategies-1-768x276.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/advanced-strategies-2.jpg\" alt=\"advanced strategy graphicsgen troubleshooting graphics generation issues ai\" class=\"wp-image-94940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/advanced-strategies-2.jpg 850w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/advanced-strategies-2-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/advanced-strategies-2-768x351.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preventing graphics generation issues before they happen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With AI troubleshooting, prevention is preferable to cure, so if you can head off the problems before they arise, all the better. These top troubleshooting tips focus on building a solid foundation when using GraphicsGen or other AI generators.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Start with a structured prompt that follows a formula.<\/strong> Loop together <strong>subject + style + detail + setting + angle<\/strong> for a failsafe formula.

But knowing when to give up is crucial. You might miss out on a potentially great image if you abandon too soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good rule of thumb? It\u2019s best to simply press the regenerate button when the overall composition is unusable. Perhaps the subject isn\u2019t right, the setting is off, or the layout just looks wrong. However, there\u2019s still room for refinement when isolated details, such as\u00a0lighting\u00a0or color, aren&#8217;t quite right.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course, with generative AI, iteration is all part of the creative journey. Every \u2018failed\u2019 output directs you towards your intent, so it\u2019s well worth keeping a \u2018prompt journal\u2019 of your most successful prompts to refer to as you move forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Post-processing in Adobe Illustrator<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By <a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/how-to-design-a-logo-with-ai-and-illustrator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">combining GraphicsGen with vector editing software<\/a> like Illustrator, you really can get the best of both worlds and refine your AI-generated graphics with nuanced detail. Here are three tips for post-processing in Illustrator.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Import raster images and vectorize with Image Trace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can\u2019t download your generated graphic as an <strong>SVG<\/strong> file, it\u2019s no problem. Download the <strong>PNG<\/strong> or <strong>JPEG<\/strong> file and import it into Illustrator. Go to Window > Image Trace, adjust the options for full color or black-and-white, then hit <strong>Trace<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adjust the options under <strong>Advanced<\/strong> in the <strong>Image Trace<\/strong> window to finetune the traced result. When you\u2019re happy, go to <strong>Object &gt; Image Trace &gt; Expand <\/strong>to vectorize your image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> Set the <strong>Paths<\/strong> slider to a high value to smooth any rough edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"777\" src=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/illustrator-1.jpg\" alt=\"adobe illustrator image trace graphicsgen troubleshooting graphics generation issues ai\" class=\"wp-image-94943\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/illustrator-1.jpg 850w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/illustrator-1-300x274.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/illustrator-1-768x702.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Adjust fonts and branding elements &nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Switch out any AI-generated fonts for your own choice. Go to our <a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/fonts\">fonts library<\/a> and take your pick, or create your own bespoke vector font with Illustrator\u2019s drawing tools. Add branded elements such as borders, stamps, or crests to create a complete logo design.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"691\" src=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/illustrator-2.jpg\" alt=\"adobe illustrator graphicsgen troubleshooting graphics generation issues ai\" class=\"wp-image-94944\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/illustrator-2.jpg 850w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/illustrator-2-300x244.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/illustrator-2-768x624.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Change color tones<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Transform the mood of your graphic with a different color palette. Using the Swatches panel (Window > Swatches), select and create new color swatches in RGB or CMYK, and experiment with different color families, such as pastel, neon, or earth tones, to give your design a distinct flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> Easily switch the swatch of a repeating color in your graphic by selecting <strong>Select > Same > Fill Color<\/strong>. Double-click the selected color at the bottom of the left-hand <strong>Toolbar<\/strong> to adjust the swatch. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"657\" src=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/illustrator-3.jpg\" alt=\"adobe illustrator graphicsgen troubleshooting graphics generation issues ai\" class=\"wp-image-94945\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/illustrator-3.jpg 850w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/illustrator-3-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/illustrator-3-768x594.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section-primary toggle-section narrow-width\">\n  <h3 class=\"toggle-section__title\">Graphics generation issues FAQs<\/h3>\n  <div class=\"toggle-section__items is-style-two-column\">\n          <div class=\"toggle-section__column\">\n                          <div class=\"toggle-section__item\">\n                    <button class=\"toggle-section__heading dt-disable-in-preview\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                      What causes most graphics generation issues?<span class=\"toggle-section__icon\"><\/span>\n                    <\/button>\n                    <div class=\"toggle-section__content\" hidden>\n                      <p>It\u2019s a case of what goes in comes out!

With these tips in mind, you\\u2019ll pick up how to identify the cause of AI image generation errors, perform effective troubleshooting and optimize your AI design workflow.\\n\\nWe\\u2019ll focus on sharing practical solutions for real-world AI errors, and show you how to out these pro tips into action on image generator GraphicsGen.\\n\\n\\n\\nhttps:\\\/\\\/www.instagram.com\\\/reel\\\/DQIfpbsjhYI\\n\\n\\n\\nWhy do graphics generation issues happen?\\n\\nFirstly, it\\u2019s nothing personal. Generative AI is a transformative tool for streamlining your design workflow, but it\\u2019s by no means perfect. Every AI tool needs a guiding hand, and with savvy input from the designer, you can expect much smoother results.\\n\\nMost graphics generation issues stem from a lack of detail in prompting or prompts that are unclear. There may also be consistency or quality problems relating to mismatched settings or missing image references. Some common causes of graphics generation issues include:\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nAmbiguous or conflicting prompts.\\n\\n\\n\\n \\n\\n\\n\\nMissing image references.\\n\\n\\n\\n \\n\\n\\n\\nLack of cues regarding layout, angle or composition.\\u00a0\\n\\n\\n\\n \\n\\n\\n\\nLow image quality.\\n\\n\\n\\n \\n\\n\\n\\nToo much \\u2018randomness\\u2019.\\n\\n\\n\\n \\n\\n\\n\\nInconsistency in style direction.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nIt\\u2019s important to realize that these common AI problems aren\\u2019t software \\u2018bugs\\u2019\\u2014they are simply how generative AI interprets provided instructions.\\n\\nGraphicsGen has been specifically designed with creatives in mind, so most (if not all) of these issues can be overcome with some knowledge of the options available to you in the AI tool. Some issues can be solved through the input of the designer, such as refining prompts, but others can be put to rights by simply using GraphicsGen&#8217;s inbuilt features to steer the AI generation in the right direction.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nCommon graphics generation issues and how to fix them\\n\\nAI image fails can put a real bee in your bonnet, especially with a pressing creative deadline looming. With these GraphicsGen troubleshooting pointers to hand it will become second nature to spot issues at the outset, and rectify the problem swiftly.\\n\\n\\nSymptom: Graphics that don\\u2019t match your project needs.\\n\\n\\nCause: Not specifying the exact type of graphic you\\u2019re looking for.\\n\\nFix: You might need a graphic for a particular purpose, such as a logo, background or social media image. Luckily this common AI problem has an easy fix when using GraphicsGen.\\n\\nOn the prompt dashboard you\\u2019ll see a selection of options for tailoring your AI output to a specific purpose, including Graphic, Infographic, Poster and Logo. Simply check the option that best suits your project, and GraphicsGen will adapt the results for that purpose.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nSymptom: Low-resolution graphics.\\n\\n\\nCause: The default DPI and dimensions generated in GraphicsGen may initially be too small scale for your needs.\\n\\nFix: One of the most common graphics generation issues is the fact that the image generated is not always a usable resolution for your project. Particularly if you want to use an image for a print poster or large landing page image, the default resolution can appear too pixelated to use effectively.\\n\\nIn GraphicsGen, this is easily rectified by selecting Edit using AI at the bottom of your generated graphic. This will lift the image into ImageEdit.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nFrom here, select Upscale, and choose from 2x or 4x to maximize the scale of your image. Now you\\u2019ll have a high-resolution graphic to work with!\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nSymptom: Non-vector graphics. Most GraphicsGen images can be downloaded as editable vector files, in SVG format, but sometimes this isn\\u2019t always possible.\\n\\n\\nCause: The common cause of this GraphicsGen troubleshooting issue is too much complexity in a generated graphic, restricting the GraphicsGen formats that can be generated.\\n\\nFix: Perhaps the image has too much detail, has complex textures, or has too much busy stuff going on to allow GraphicsGen to convert it into a vector image.\\u00a0The best way to rectify this is to make your image less complex.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nTo do this, return to the GraphicsGen landing page and upload or select the same image reference as your original generation. Make sure to include phrases like \\u2018simplify\\u2019, \\u2018minimal\\u2019, \\u2018no textures\\u2019 and \\u2018clean\\u2019 in your prompt to encourage GraphicsGen to create a more vector-friendly graphic. You can also select Graphic or Logo from the image type options in GraphicsGen to create a simplified result.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nSymptom: A different color profile to what you need.\\n\\n\\nCause: GraphicsGen images are automatically rendered in a web-friendly RGB color profile.\\n\\nFix: If you want to use your generated graphic for a print project, it\\u2019s a good idea to convert RGB swatches to CMYK before printing to avoid any unpleasant color surprises. To do so, download your graphic as an editable SVG file and open the graphic in vector-editing software like Adobe Illustrator. Go to the Swatches panel to individually select color swatches and convert these to CMYK.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nSymptom: Inconsistencies in graphics generation.\\n\\n\\nCause: GraphicsGen is great&#8230;but it can\\u2019t read minds. Lack of clear detail in prompts can lead to inconsistent results.\\n\\nFix: The more specific you are in your original prompt, the better your AI graphic will be. You don\\u2019t need to write an essay (though by all means), but a few sentences with more direction about aesthetic details will make a world of difference. Look at this complete guide to creative AI prompts for guidance.\\n\\nJust look at this example. The first scooter logo is fine, but with more specific detail included in the prompt, such as color palette, style and angle, the generated logo is much more aligned with what I have in mind for the design.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nAdvanced AI troubleshooting strategies\\n\\nMost common AI problems can be resolved with a simple one-step process, but advanced AI artists also have a few more tricks up their sleeve when it comes to managing generative AI errors. These sophisticated troubleshooting strategies can really help to refine your results, to achieve imagery that rarely looks AI-generated in the first place.\\n\\n\\nStrategy 1: Inpainting\\n\\nThis techniques hones into one problem area of your image, while preserving the rest of the image intact. For raster images, this can be done using a tool like ImageEdit, in which the Erase tool can be applied to specific areas. For vector images, you might have to download your graphic as an editable SVG and use vector-editing software to make pinpoint adjustments.\\n\\n\\nStrategy 2: Variation testing\\n\\nImagine you have a long prompt with plenty of detail. Now, rather than switching up multiple parts of the prompt or changing the prompt entirely when the resulting image is not what you intended, you can instead tweak very minute parts of a prompt.\\n\\nYour generated images stem from the same strong base input, but with slight differences between them, allowing you to test different subtle variations. For example, you might change the description of a texture from \\u2018wool\\u2019 to \\u2018mohair\\u2019 to create a fluffier result, or vary the angle from \\u2018side angle\\u2019 to \\u2018isometric\\u2019.\\u00a0\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nStrategy 3: Prompt stacking\\n\\nThere\\u2019s a reason that \\u2018in at the deep end\\u2019 is a phrase often used as a warning. When you go all in with a long, complex prompt, and still don\\u2019t get the results you want, you may feel the need to go back to the drawing (or prompt) board. Prompt stacking is about building prompts up gradually, step-by-step, so you can refine style and structure over successive generations. It\\u2019s a sensible technique for being able to retrace your steps effectively.\\n\\n\\nStrategy 4: Reference blending\\n\\nThe more guiding information you can provide to an AI generator the better, and with reference blending this simply refers to providing multiple visual references to create hybrid results. With GraphicsGen you can provide up to two image references, including your own image uploads or references from the GraphicsGen deck. For one of your images, try to include an accurate representation of the style you\\u2019d like to achieve, such as Atomic Age, Art Deco or futuristic, with the second image providing additional aesthetic pointers, such as color palette or subject matter.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nPreventing graphics generation issues before they happen\\n\\nWith AI troubleshooting, prevention is preferable to cure, so if you can head off the problems before they arise, all the better. These top troubleshooting tips all focus on how to start with a good foundation when using GraphicsGen or other AI generators.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nStart with a structured prompt that follows a formula. Loop together subject + style + detail + setting + angle for a failsafe formula. An example structured prompt might be \\u2018Create an icon design featuring a cute puppy, in a 3D plush style with a fluffy texture. Set the icon against a pastel pink background, and angle the puppy\\u2019s head to face the viewer.\\u2019\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nAvoid confusing the generator by mixing unrelated adjectives. Throwing out random descriptions that don\\u2019t align with each other won\\u2019t give the AI tool clarity, so rather than using a sequence like \\u2018minimalist chaotic watercolor\\u2019, use related adjectives instead, such as \\u2018ethereal, dreamlike, pastel drawing\\u2019.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nThink like a photographer! Stick to consistent aspect ratios and refine your lighting language, using keywords like \\u2018spotlight\\u2019, \\u2018backlit\\u2019 or \\u2018high-angle shot\\u2019.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nDid your prompt work well? Save a successful prompt as a template for future reuse.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nSource great visual references. Use assets from the Envato Elements library as reference images to give the AI generator information about color palettes, textures or style directions. In ImageEdit you can do this directly by clicking Explore Library on the dashboard.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nWhen to regenerate or refine?\\n\\nRefinement takes patience and time, and sometimes even the most experienced (and determined) AI designer has to throw in the towel and start afresh. But knowing when to give up is crucial. You might miss out on a potentially great image if you abandon too soon.\\n\\nA good rule of thumb? It\\u2019s best to simply press the regenerate button when the overall composition is unusable. Perhaps the subject isn\\u2019t right, the setting is off or the layout just looks wrong. However, there\\u2019s still potential for refinement when isolated details, such as lighting or color, are not quite right.\\n\\nAnd of course, with generative AI, iteration is all part of the creative journey. Every \\u2018failed\\u2019 output directs you towards your intent, so it\\u2019s well worth keeping a \\u2018prompt journal\\u2019 of your most successful prompts to refer to as you move forward.\\n\\n\\nPost-processing in Adobe Illustrator\\n\\nBy combining GraphicsGen with vector editing software like Illustrator, you really can get the best of both worlds and refine your AI generated graphics with nuanced detail. Here are three tips for Illustrator post-processing.\\n\\n\\n1. Import raster images and vectorize with Image Trace\\n\\nIf you can\\u2019t download your generated graphic as an SVG file, it\\u2019s no problem. Download the PNG or JPEG file, and bring this into Illustrator. Go to Window &gt; Image Trace, adjust the options for full color or a black and white version and hit Trace.\\n\\nAdjust the options under Advanced in the Image Trace window to finetune the traced result. When you\\u2019re happy, go to Object &gt; Image Trace &gt; Expand to vectorize your image.\\n\\nPro tip: Set the Paths slider to a high value to smoothen any rough edges.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n2. Adjust fonts and branding elements\\n\\nSwitch up any AI fonts with fonts of your own choice.
