What makes the output look photographic instead of illustrated?

Use photographic terms in your prompt: photorealistic, realistic lighting, depth of field, and specific camera terminology.

How specific should my text description be?

More specific prompts produce more predictable results. Include subject, setting, lighting, and composition details.

Can I generate images of people?

You can describe people in your prompt. Do not describe real identifiable individuals without their permission.

How do I control lighting in the generated photo?

Describe the lighting source, direction, quality, and time of day. For example: 'soft morning light from a window on the left' or 'harsh midday sun'.

Can I use these images commercially?

Review the rights guidance for each image. Confirm that you have the rights needed for your inputs and intended use before commercial use.

Limitations to know before generating

Photographic realism depends on detailed lighting, composition, and subject descriptions; vague prompts produce less convincing results
Complex camera techniques like motion blur or long exposure are approximations, not optical effects
Fine details such as fabric texture, reflections, or transparent materials may show inconsistencies
Generated images are reference and concept material, not replacements for professional photography in final deliverables
People in images should be original fictional characters, not recreations of identifiable real individuals
