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 “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.

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)
