Yes. Including photographic terms like lighting type, depth of field, and camera angle in your description helps produce more realistic results.

What kind of details help produce photorealistic results?

Specifics about lighting direction, surface materials, colors, and framing tend to produce more convincing photorealistic images.

What should I check before using a generated image?

Review the output for any visual artifacts or unexpected elements. Confirm you have the rights needed for any inputs and the context where you plan to use the result.

Limitations to know before generating

Photorealism depends on prompt clarity; vague descriptions may produce generic or unconvincing results
Complex scenes with multiple subjects or intricate details may require several generation attempts
Surface textures, reflections, and fine details may not always render accurately on first try
Generated people and objects are not real; results should be reviewed for visual artifacts before use
Photographic style terms help but do not guarantee camera-quality output in every case
