Separate atmosphere from evidence

A generic editorial image may suit an introductory section. A portfolio, food gallery or product example usually benefits from real photographs. Review generated images for unrealistic details and misleading implications. Image generation also uses additional resources and may have usage limits; it is optional, not a requirement for publishing a clear website.

Practical checklist

  • Decide whether the image is illustrative
  • Use real work in portfolios
  • Check generated details
  • Avoid fake premises or products
  • Review image usage limits
