## Prompt · English

```

Customize: [Neon rim-light portrait](https://promptseen.dev/en/templates/neon-rim-portrait/)

## What each phrase does

- **A** `rim-lit in cyan and magenta`: Two named colours split the outline left and right; one colour reads as a glow, not a likeness.
- **B** `soft bokeh lights`: Blurred lights give depth behind a flat silhouette.

## What is it good for?

Works when cropped to a circle: the subject sits in the centre with a simple background.

## How do I adjust it?

- Name two rim colours, one for each side, to keep the outline readable.
- Keep the face in shadow; detail inside the silhouette breaks the effect.
- The marked phrases in the prompt show what each part controls.
- To change the subject or colours, start from the [neon portrait template](https://promptseen.dev/en/templates/neon-rim-portrait/).
