Generating

Which tool should I use?

Image creates a picture from a written description alone. Edit tools change a picture you upload — relight it, change the background, swap an outfit, remove clothing. If a tool asks for a source image, it is an editor, not a generator.

What makes a good prompt?

Be specific about subject, pose, clothing, setting and lighting. "A woman in a kitchen" gives you a generic result; "a woman in her late twenties leaning on a kitchen counter, warm window light from the left, shot on an 85mm lens" gives you a photograph.

Why do I get a different picture each time?

The seed controls randomness. At -1 you get something new every run. Fix it to a number and the same prompt and settings reproduce the same image — useful once you find one you like and want to change only one thing.

Bigger is not always better

Each tool has a resolution it was built for. Pushing far above it costs more, takes longer and often produces duplicated limbs rather than more detail.

Time and cost

What does the status light mean?

Grey — nothing running, browsing is free. Amber — a machine is waking, you are being charged. Green — generating, you are being charged. If it is grey, clicking around costs nothing.

Why is the first generation slow?

Hardware sleeps when idle so you are not paying for nothing. The first job after a quiet spell wakes it and loads the model, which takes a minute or two. Jobs right after that are much faster.

What is the progress bar reading?

The real step counter from the generator, not an estimate. If it says 40%, forty percent of the work is genuinely done.

Why can I only run one at a time?

One machine renders one job at a time. A per-account limit stops one person filling the queue while others wait.

Your library

How long are results kept?

30 days, then they are deleted automatically. Each result shows how many days it has left. Click any picture to download it — anything you want to keep, take a copy.

What does marking a keeper do?

It records how many generations it takes you to get one you would actually use. That number decides what this can be sold for, so it is worth being honest with it.

Rules

Why was my prompt refused?

Anything reading as involving a minor is refused outright and is not appealable. This is not a filter we tune down on request.

Why was my upload rejected?

Every uploaded picture is checked before use. If a face reads as under age, it is refused. If the checker cannot run, uploads are refused rather than let through unchecked.

Something says "Coming soon"

That tool is not finished. It appears on its own when ready — nothing for you to do.
