FAQ
- What does 'non-AI look' mean in a prompt?It instructs the AI to avoid common artifacts of AI-generated images, such as overly smooth skin, unnatural symmetry, weird hands, or a generic 'digital' feel. It pushes for gritty, photographic realism with imperfections.
- Why specify 'IMAX camera look' and '85mm lens'?These are specific photographic styles. 'IMAX' suggests extreme detail and a wide, cinematic aspect feel. An '85mm lens' is a classic portrait lens known for pleasing facial proportions and background separation (bokeh), which helps achieve the shallow depth of field.
- Can I change the aspect ratio?The prompt specifies 9:16 (vertical). For a traditional horizontal cinematic look, you could change it to 16:9 or 2.39:1, but this may affect the described framing and crop.
