Exhaustive guide to negative prompts covering common negative terms, negative embeddings (EasyNegative, bad_prompt), weighting strategies, model-specific negative prompts, and common mistakes like over-weighting.
Prompt
Negative Prompts Complete Guide: **Universal Negatives**: lowres, bad anatomy, bad hands, text, error, missing fingers, extra digit, fewer digits, cropped, worst quality, low quality, normal quality, jpeg artifacts, signature, watermark, username, blurry **Negative Embeddings**: - EasyNegative: All-purpose negative embedding - bad_prompt_version2: Reduces common artifacts - ng_deepnegative_v1_75t: Deep negative for realistic models **Weighting Strategy**: - Start with universal negatives at weight 1.0 - Add specific fixes: (bad hands:1.4), (deformed fingers:1.3) - Avoid over-weighting (>2.0) — causes inverse artifacts **Model-Specific**: - Realistic models: Add "cartoon, anime, illustration" to negatives - Anime models: Add "photorealistic, 3d render" to negatives - SDXL: Negative prompts less critical but still useful
How to Use
Start with universal negatives, then add specific fixes based on artifacts you see. Use negative embeddings for broad quality improvement.
