Refinement notes

Three useful ways to customize it

01

Subject and action

Replace the central subject first, then adjust its pose, action, expression, or relationship to the scene.

02

Composition and light

Change the viewpoint, crop, negative space, light direction, and contrast before layering on more style words.

03

Output shape

The saved reference uses 1:1. Change the aspect ratio to match the final placement before refining small details.
