🔧 Troubleshooting AI Image Generation

Possible Causes:

• Prompt lacks quality keywords
• Not enough generation steps
• Low resolution settings
• Image upscaled too much

Solutions:

• Add quality keywords: "high quality", "detailed", "8k", "masterpiece"
• Increase resolution in settings
• Use "detailer" or "upscaler" tools after generation
• Try different model (Flux tends to be sharper)
• Add "sharp focus", "intricate details" to prompt

Common Face Problems:

• Asymmetrical eyes or features
• Extra fingers or limbs
• Blurry or smudged faces
• Unnatural expressions

Solutions:

• Add to negative prompt: "deformed, ugly, bad anatomy, extra fingers"
• Include "detailed face", "beautiful face" in prompt
• Try close-up framing instead of full body
• Use "photorealistic" for realistic faces
• Generate multiple images and pick best face
• Try Flux Realism model for better faces

Magic Fix Prompt Addition:

Common Artifacts:

• Random noise patterns
• Unrealistic textures
• Dubious borders or edges
• Strange color patches

Solutions:

• Add to negative: "noise, grain, artifacts, jpeg"
• Increase CFG scale slightly (try 7-9)
• Use longer sampling steps (25-35)
• Avoid overloading prompts with too many elements
• Try DPM++ 2M or UniPC samplers

Common Problems:

• Overly dark or bright images
• Unnatural color casts
• Washed out colors
• Inconsistent lighting

Solutions:

• Specify lighting in prompt: "soft lighting", "cinematic lighting"
• Add color keywords: "vibrant colors", "saturated"
• Include "golden hour", "blue hour" for natural light
• Use "professional color grading" for film look
• Try different aspect ratios for better composition

Problems:

• Wrong subject in image
• Missing elements from prompt
• Wrong style or composition
• Prompt too vague

Solutions:

• Put most important elements FIRST in prompt
• Be more specific: "red car" → "vintage red 1969 Ford Mustang convertible"
• Use simple, clear descriptions
• Separate elements with commas
• Increase CFG scale (try 10-12 for strict following)
• Check if prompt has conflicting elements

Prompt Structure Tips:

Common Video Problems:

• Jittery or inconsistent motion
• Subject changes between frames
• Poor quality output
• Generation takes too long

Solutions:

• Keep prompts simple - one main action
• Use specific motion keywords: "gentle sway", "smooth pan"
• For image-to-video: use clear, simple images
• Add "smooth motion", "fluid" to prompts
• Try Wan 2.2 for faster results, LTX2 for quality
• Avoid complex scenes with many moving parts

✅ Always Do:

• Write clear, specific prompts
• Use quality keywords ("detailed", "masterpiece")
• Include lighting and style descriptions
• Use negative prompts to avoid common issues
• Generate multiple variations
• Try different models for different needs

❌ Avoid:

• Overly long, complex prompts
• Contradicting elements in prompts
• Very low resolution settings
• Extremely low or high CFG values
• Expecting perfect results every time
