FAQ
- How do I ensure the AI uses both faces accurately?Generating two specific faces accurately in a single AI prompt can be challenging. For best results in tools like Midjourney, you should use the '--cref' parameter with a composite image containing both faces, or use advanced workflows in Stable Diffusion (like IP-Adapter or multiple ControlNet passes) to assign specific facial references to the specific subjects in the scene.
- Can I adjust the intensity of the motion blur?Yes. The current prompt uses 'Strong motion blur surrounds them'. To reduce this effect, change the phrasing to 'subtle motion blur in the background' or 'slight movement'. To increase it, you can use terms like 'extreme light trails', 'heavy motion blur', or 'slow shutter speed photography'.
- How do I make the final image look less brown and moody?To change the color grading, simply locate the phrase 'Deep moody brown monochrome color grading' in the prompt. Replace this with your desired aesthetic, such as 'Vibrant natural colors', 'Bright cinematic teal and orange', or 'Soft pastel color grading'.
