Lighting: Key light 45° soft octabox with honeycomb grid; sharp 3200K warm rim light defining shoulder and jawline. Color Science: Kodak Portra 400 tone curve, fine organic grain, uncompressed natural skin undertone with realistic micro-pores. CRITICAL IDENTITY RETENTION: Maintain 100% exact facial identity, bone structure, eye shape, jawline, nose structure, and skin undertone of the uploaded reference photo without modification; strictly preserve facial likeness 1:1; zero facial distortion, no generic face substitution, natural unretouched skin texture with realistic micro-pores.
š” Pro-Tip for Gemini: If using a reference photo, upload your photo first in the Gemini chat and paste this exact block as your instruction. Gemini will seamlessly retain your facial features.
100% Face Consistency & Identity Lock Guide
The #1 complaint with AI photo generators is "mera chehra badal gaya" (facial distortion or artificial substitution). Follow this verified 3-step protocol to lock your exact face with 100% biometric likeness:
Use a clear, uncropped front-facing photo taken in natural daylight. Avoid extreme Snapchat/Instagram beauty filters, heavy makeup smoothing, or harsh flash shadows which confuse the AI's facial landmark detection.
Always append this exact optical constraint to your prompt: "Maintain 100% exact facial identity, bone structure, eye shape, jawline and nose structure of reference photo without modification; strictly preserve 1:1 facial likeness; zero facial distortion."
In Midjourney, keep --cw 100 (Character Weight 100). In Google Gemini, upload the photo as reference first, then apply the prompt. In Flux / SDXL, utilize ControlNet IP-Adapter FaceID with weight set to 0.85ā0.90.
š Rule 12 Guarantee: In Google Gemini or Midjourney (--cref), upload a clear front-facing selfie. The AI locks your exact facial bone structure, eyebrows, and eye shape while applying the styled jacket, lighting, and background.

Common AI Generation Artifacts & Forensic Fixes
If your generated image exhibits digital artifacts, unretouched plastic skin, or limb occlusions, use this diagnostic matrix to tune your generation parameters:
| Visual Artifact / Defect | Underlying Engine Cause | Forensic Fix & Prompt Modification |
|---|---|---|
| Plastic / Waxy Skin (Over-Smoothed) | Over-weighted beauty tokens ("flawless skin", "8k") triggering aggressive denoising in latent diffusion. | Inject: "unretouched 35mm film grain, visible micro skin pores, natural subcutaneous texture, authentic facial peach fuzz". Lower CFG scale from 7.0 to 4.5ā5.5. |
| Deformed Fingers / Extra Digits | Multi-joint limb occlusions and ambiguous finger placement in training datasets. | Add negative tokens: (mutated hands, fused fingers, extra digits:1.4). Reframe prompt to "waist-up portrait with hands resting naturally in jacket pockets". |
| Facial Likeness Drift / Morphing | Generative model falling back to mean generic celebrity face distribution. | In Midjourney, enforce --cw 100. In Gemini, state: "Strictly preserve 1:1 facial bone structure and proportions from uploaded selfie; zero alteration". |
| Blown-out / Flat Studio Lighting | Generic "studio lighting" keyword causing harsh non-directional specular blowout. | Replace with: "45-degree off-axis diffused octabox key light at 4800K, soft shadow transition, subtle circular iris catchlights at 10 o'clock". |
