Best Practices

Use clear images - Higher quality = better analysis
Crop to relevant area - Remove unnecessary context
Ask specific questions - Vague prompts get vague answers
Provide context - Tell Gemini what you're looking for
Verify extracted text - OCR isn't perfect
Multiple angles - Use multiple images for complex subjects
