## Prompt and Settings

Copy prompt

A cluster of translucent sea salt crystals rests on dark slate. The crystals catch tiny highlights while scattered grains form a loose crescent around the main pile. The environment is a minimal tabletop with a black cloth backdrop fading into shadow. A 3:2 macro camera view sits almost level with the slate. Narrow side light passes through the crystals. Z-Image-Turbo renders sharp facets, mineral clarity, granular scale, and restrained studio contrast.

## Why This Prompt Works

The image focuses on salt crystals as a mineral macro subject, making shape, scale, and light the main interest. The loose crescent of grains carries the composition across the 3:2 frame without adding clutter. Z-Image-Turbo gets useful direction from narrow side light passing through the crystals, while the slate and black cloth create contrast that supports crisp facets and transparent edges.

## Recreate It in Private Diffusion

1.  Paste the prompt into Studio and choose Z-Image-Turbo.
2.  Set Size to XL and Aspect Ratio to Landscape 3:2.
3.  Type 1829345101 into Seed. On a Mac, switch off Randomize first.
4.  Paste the negative prompt into Negative prompt.
5.  Switch off Rewrite description (Rewrite Prompt on a Mac) so Studio keeps the prompt word for word.
6.  Switch on Max quality (slower).

Those are the settings that made this picture, and they run on your own Mac with 24 GB or more, with nothing uploaded.
