Blocked reference image

Hi. I am trying to upload a Composition reference image and Firefly keeps rejecting it. I created that image with Firefly on 19 September 2024 and can't understand why it's blocked. I have not taken a screenshot because it's the standard Firefly rejection warning. I am attaching the blocked image from my computer (resized with PS). Thanks.

Thank you, I'll try that though I'm not sure that it will fit my purpose. I do often deliberately "confuse" Firefly by using conflicting Composition and Style references and the results can be marvellous! Because I want to create surreal images that "escape" formal artistic rules, just as I do when I paint on a physical substrate. I have a whole series of non-logical images of this kind. Pity today it won't humour me 🙂

    Hello @Ersi Marina,

    Thank you for your message. I am sorry you are having this problem. 

     

    It is hard to tell for sure. We have seen that a composition reference without clear lines, shapes, and structure as well as lots of overlapping/mixing colour can cause problems, such as what you are seeing.  I would try tracing the outline of the person in a black/white image, and use that as the composition reference. And perhaps you might want to use this original image as a style reference (I am not sure what your desired final image is).

    Thanks,
