• “It returns the same image (no changes).”
  Add stronger edit verbs: “Replace background with [scene], add [prop], change lighting to [setup]”. If it persists, start a new chat and re-upload.

• Face looks off / identity drifts.
  Append: “keep my real face unchanged; preserve facial landmarks, eye color, skin tone.”

• Over-smooth skin / plastic look.
  Add: “skin texture visible; no plastic retouching; retain pores and fine lines.”

• Hands or text look weird.
  Mask complexity: “hands outside frame” or “caption text typed, not handwritten”. For logos, say “logo-like graphic (nonsensical text OK)”.

• Colors too strong.
  Ask: “reduce saturation by 20%, slight film grain, matte blacks.”
