Pro Tips

1

Always specify a real camera and lens to control the 'look'—AI models respond strongly to equipment references

2

FLUX has 92% hand accuracy vs 85% for Midjourney—use FLUX when hands are visible in portraits

3

Keep prompts under 40 words for DALL-E 3; Midjourney and FLUX handle longer prompts better

4

Add '--ar 3:4' in Midjourney for natural portrait proportions

5

For Midjourney: '--stylize 200' keeps it photorealistic without over-rendering
