How to Write Precise Image Text Editing Prompts

Name the target before the change

Change the date is ambiguous if the image includes a schedule and a footer. Change the date below the main headline from June 12 to June 19 identifies both the region and the intended result. Use visible positions rather than unsupported pixel coordinates.

Separate wording from appearance

Put exact copy in quotation marks. Then describe appearance separately: preserve the bold white lettering, keep two lines, or match the angled sign. This prevents style notes from being mistaken for text to render.

Use a replacement list for multiple changes

For a menu or poster, list each replacement on its own line. Keep prices and dates explicit, and identify repeated phrases. Avoid mixing a large redesign with detailed copy correction in the same request if preserving the original is important.

Make follow-up requests specific

Instead of try again, say what is wrong: the second line should read exactly Free entry, or preserve the smaller text below the price. If previous revisions have drifted too far, upload the original again with a narrower brief.
