Common failures and fixes

Reduce the change scope first, then decide whether to switch family versions.

  1. Subject drifts across edits

    Reuse the clearest reference, give the subject a stable name and change one major element at a time.

  2. A local edit changes too much

    State both what must stay and what alone should change, including crop, lighting, background and identity.

  3. In-image text is wrong

    Put exact copy in quotation marks, reduce the number of text blocks and proofread before export.

  4. The version does not fit the task

    2 Lite is not optimized for many references or long edit chains. Switch to 2 or Pro for complex control and keep the prompt unchanged for comparison.
