Use non-negotiable checks
The face should resemble your current appearance, the body should be representative and visible objects should make sense. The scene should not imply a false credential, relationship or experience.
Review in order
- Compare facial features with recent originals.
- Check hands, clothing and accessories.
- Read the background's implied story.
- Ask whether you would comfortably explain how it was made.
An output with a changed nose should not pass because the lighting is excellent. A frame with a plausible face but an invented workplace badge creates a separate problem.
Avoid sunk-cost selection
Spending credits or time does not make a weak output suitable. Keep fewer images if necessary and use a real photograph for the missing role. If a particular scene repeatedly fails, simplify the brief rather than accepting distortions simply to complete a set.
