Writing the instruction

Describe the picture you want as if you were briefing a photographer: who is in it, what they are wearing, where they are, how it is lit, and how it is framed. Short instructions leave those choices to the model; specific ones keep them with you.

Using references

You can attach reference pictures and point at them from inside your instruction, so the model knows which one you mean. Type @ to bring up your reference library and pick one; the reference is then addressed by name in the text.

• A reference can be a face to keep, a garment to copy, or a scene to match.
• References live in your library, so the same picture can be reused in later runs.
• Referring to a picture you have not attached will not work — attach it first, then point at it.

Frame and size

Before generating you choose the aspect ratio and the output size. Aspect ratio decides the shape of the picture; size decides how much detail it holds. Larger sizes take longer.

When a run does not look right

• Change one thing at a time. Rewriting everything at once hides which change helped.
• If the likeness drifts, use a clearer reference photograph rather than more words.
• If the framing is wrong, say the framing explicitly instead of describing the pose.
