Limitations to know before generating

  • Lighting accuracy depends on prompt clarity; vague descriptions may not produce the intended effect.
  • Shadow length and sun position are interpreted, not simulated; results may vary.
  • Lens flare and atmospheric effects are stylistic, not physically accurate optical simulations.
  • Warm/cool color contrast may require multiple generations to balance correctly.
  • The result is a stylized image, not a photograph; review and adjust expectations accordingly.
