Frequently asked questions

Can I use it to portray a real person?

Describe fictional people only. Generating realistic images of real people without their consent can break the tools' policies and those people's rights.

How do I get more realistic skin?

Keep "natural skin texture" in the prompt and avoid words like "perfect" or "flawless". In Midjourney, a lower --stylize value also makes the result more literal.
