Advanced Settings
Aspect Ratio — Set your desired aspect ratio for the image.
Visual Style — Select a generation style that best suits the desired aesthetic or project requirements.
Visual Style Comparison
| Visual Style | Best For |
|---|---|
| Portrait | Ideal for UGC (User-Generated Content) and photorealistic generations. This style excels with both people and environments (exteriors and interiors), focusing on detailed realism. |
| Cinematic | Designed for generating cinematic shots. Not suitable for amateur-style content. This style aims to create stylized, film-like generations with strong color correction and film effects. |
| Fashion | Best suited for generating people. It performs exceptionally well with accessories, clothing, and producing characters with well-defined, detailed skin, although it struggles with generating interiors and exteriors. Recommended for creating stylized “photoshoots”. |
Getting Started
For Beginners
- Start with the Flux model for stable, realistic portraits.
- Keep prompts simple, like woman in an office, daylight.
- Choose a pre-made avatar from the Avatar Library, then pick a Location and Frame.
- Visually construct your prompts with the Prompt Generator – no typing needed!
For Experienced Users
- Need exact likeness and consistency across shots? Use Clone Identity.
- Want to move characters or objects to new scenes while keeping their look and composition? Use Flux Kontext.
- See how different models perform by switching between Flux and ChatGPT Image.
- Mix text prompts with visual settings like frame, style, and avatar choices.
Best Practices
- Keep prompts short and clear: Opt for “girl in a red coat, evening, neon” rather than a lengthy description with many objects.
- For consistent likeness, always use Clone Identity or Flux Kontext.
- For portraits and realism, Flux (fine-tuned) performs best.
- For scenes not requiring high photorealism, or for faster generation, ChatGPT Image is a better choice.
- When creating an AI avatar with Clone Identity, use 10-15 photos of the same person.
Ensure these photos feature different facial expressions, good lighting, no shadows, filters, glasses, or headwear, and avoid noisy backgrounds. Shots with even lighting and a neutral background yield the best results.
