Limitations to know before generating

Traditional painting styles may not reproduce exact brushwork or calligraphy details; the tool interprets style keywords loosely.
Complex architectural details or intricate patterns may require multiple iterations to match your intent.
Color accuracy for specific cultural palettes depends on clear description; mention exact colors if they matter.
The tool generates from your wording, so vague or generic prompts produce unpredictable results.
Generated images are visual concepts; always review them for cultural accuracy and suitability before using in a project.
