I started testing a few ways to improve AI portrait realism today. It quickly became clear there is a lot more to this than writing a better prompt. Tonight I’m working on a complete system for creating realistic AI people who remain consistent across multiple images. Tomorrow I’ll start sharing what I find, including character locking, facial consistency, skin realism, clothing, camera settings, lighting, environments, poses, editing versus regenerating, and how to reduce the obvious “AI look.” I’m organizing everything into an outline-style Google Doc with multiple tabs so you can use it as a working reference instead of trying to remember a long lesson. I’ll include the prompts, tests, examples, mistakes, fixes, and reusable templates. There’s a lot here. I think this is going to turn into a very useful resource.
