Prompt-specific quality checklist
- The woman must clearly and unmistakably be the same real adult woman shown in the uploaded reference image.
- Preserve extremely high facial identity fidelity, including subtle and small identity-defining facial characteristics.
- Do not use the reference image as a rigid pose or expression template.
- Naturally reconstruct the woman's face for the requested direct-to-camera gaze and subtle self-assured expression.
- Preserve the reference woman's natural skin tone without whitening, darkening, smoothing, beautifying, or artificially changing it.
- Maintain natural skin texture and realistic pores appropriate to ultra-photorealistic photography.
- Preserve the reference woman's hair color, length, density, texture, hairline, natural structure, and recognizable hair identity.
Failures to check before publishing
