💡Prompt Structure

Prompt structure refers to the way a user formulates their instructions for the AI to generate an image. It is crucial for achieving the desired outcome with Leonardo AI. The video emphasizes the importance of including elements like subject, medium, style, composition, color, and lighting in the prompt to guide the AI effectively.
