Sample prompt used to generate the hero image
Infrared thermal image of a cityscape at night using the ironbow color palette, 16:9 landscape format. Buildings glow with internal heat — windows are bright yellow-white hotspots, walls radiate orange and red, rooftops cool to purple and blue. The night sky is cold black. Heat from vehicles and pedestrians creates bright orange-yellow silhouettes on the streets. A plume of hot steam from a vent glows bright yellow fading to red as it cools and disperses upward. Temperature scale bar on the right side showing range from -10°C (black) to 40°C (white). Thermal camera FLIR aesthetic.Prompt Variations
Section titled “Prompt Variations”Thermal image of [CITY/BUILDING], ironbow palette (black→blue→red→yellow→white), heat patterns, temperature scale bar, FLIR aesthetic, [FORMAT].Thermal image of [PERSON], ironbow palette, face hotspots in yellow-white, cooler extremities in red-orange, clothing in blue-purple, black background, [FORMAT].Near-infrared photograph of [LANDSCAPE], foliage glows bright white, sky turns deep black, water dark, Wood effect, dreamy, [FORMAT].Thermal image of [ANIMAL] in its environment, body heat visible against cool background, ironbow palette, FLIR aesthetic, [FORMAT].Split image: normal photograph on the left, thermal/infrared version on the right, same scene, revealing hidden heat patterns, [FORMAT].Image-to-Image Transformations
Section titled “Image-to-Image Transformations”Using the attached photo, transform it into a thermal infrared image using the ironbow color palette. Hot areas (bodies, engines, lit windows) glow yellow-white. Warm areas are orange-red. Cool areas are purple-blue. Cold background is black. Add a temperature scale bar on the right. FLIR thermal camera aesthetic.Tips & Best Practices
Section titled “Tips & Best Practices”- Ironbow palette: The standard thermal palette: black (coldest) → blue → purple → red → orange → yellow → white (hottest).
- Temperature scale bar: Adds scientific authenticity — “scale bar showing -10°C to 40°C.”
- Near-IR vs. thermal: Near-infrared (Wood effect) = white foliage, black sky. Thermal = heat maps. They’re different imaging modes.
- Pairs well with: X-Ray / Medical Imaging (both reveal invisible information), Bioluminescent Underwater (similar glow-in-darkness)
