Limitations to know before generating
Period accuracy depends on your description; the tool does not validate historical styling details.
Facial features and proportions are generated, not based on real people; do not expect specific likenesses.
Text or details on clothing may not render accurately; keep costume descriptions simple.
Group photos with multiple people can produce inconsistent results; individual portraits work best.
Photo aging effects like grain or fading depend on your description; vague prompts produce unpredictable treatments.
