Expert Usage Tips
Adjust the aperture value in the prompt (e.g., f/1.2 for thinner focus, f/2.8 for more background detail) to control depth of field.
Swap the lighting color descriptors (e.g., “warm amber” to “cool moonlight”) to instantly change the emotional mood of the portrait.
Use specific lens focal lengths like 35mm for wider environmental portraits or 100mm for tight, flattering headshots.
Add specific fabric descriptions (e.g., “heavy velvet,” “sheer organza”) to influence how the AI renders light interaction on clothing.
Experiment with film stock references like “Kodak Vision3” or “Fujifilm Velvia” to achieve distinct, authentic cinematic color profiles.
