Tips and variations

  • Specify the reference: Add the phrase "in the style of Wes Anderson" or "like 90s movies" in the prompt - this dramatically improves color processing accuracy.
  • Control intensity: For subtle retouching, write "subtle, natural-looking", for intensive - "high-end fashion retouch". This works better than numerical values.
  • Add technical parameters: Specify "--ar 4:5" for Instagram format or "4K resolution" for print quality - the neural network will account for aspect ratio.
  • Iterate in steps: First set color processing, then in a separate request - retouching. This results in more accuracy than doing it in one step.

Alternative neural networks: Adobe Firefly (realistic retouching), Stable Diffusion with img2img (fine style tuning), and FLUX.2 Pro (high-level detail quality) are great for photo processing.
