Expert Usage Tips
1. Use a 35mm lens for wide environmental shots to capture the full scale of the rangoli and decor. Switch to an 85mm lens for portraits to achieve a beautiful creamy bokeh background.
2. Adjust the color palette in the prompt to match specific brand colors or mood requirements, such as “monochrome gold” for a luxury feel or “vibrant multicolored” for a traditional look.
3. If the AI struggles with facial consistency, use an Image-to-Image workflow by uploading a reference photo of your subject to ensure specific features are maintained.
4. Enhance the atmosphere by adding keywords like “light fog” or “incense smoke” to create volumetric lighting effects that make the glow of the diyas appear more realistic.
5. Experiment with time-of-day settings by changing “evening” to “twilight” to capture the deep blue hour sky, which creates a stunning color contrast with the warm orange light of the lamps.
