Batch Prompting Without Losing Control - Nano Banana 2
The batch that teaches you nothing is the one where every prompt differs in several ways at once. You get thirty images, four of them are good, and you cannot say why. Structure the batch instead so that a single element changes across it — the same subject and setting with six different mediums, or one prompt run at six lengths, or a fixed prompt with only the lighting clause rotating.
Read that batch as a column and the answer is obvious in seconds. This is how you find out that a style word you have been typing for months does nothing, or that your background clause was responsible for a crowding problem you had blamed on the subject description.
Consistent problems point at the prompt. Inconsistent ones point at luck. Sorting your failures into those two piles before you start editing saves a great deal of pointless regeneration, and it is the habit that separates people who batch usefully from people who just generate a lot.
There is a size past which nobody genuinely reviews the output. Somewhere around twenty or thirty images, attention gives out and you start skimming for anything acceptable, which defeats the purpose. Several small batches with a decision between them beat one enormous batch, because each round is informed by the previous one.
