Faces not showing up properly in Firefly

Just about all of the faces that I generate look terrible. Either robotic or fake looking.  It was never like this.  Please fix it.

Some Images generated from Adobe Firelfy, as Adobe staff here tells to give composition reference, for better quality images, so gave a composition reference too. 

Prompt - Realistic British style conservatory connected to an open kitchen, with people chatting and eating, easy cafe type vibes. Make human faces ultra realistic

 

I have marked scores of such images in the app, sent the prompt also in error logs still, no improvements.

Hey @defaultp37cot0393rd and @barryg68995812 

To add a bit more to @DeanUtian and @droopydog500  mentioned


Few Tips
1) found that Pressing Art helps.
2) Remember to keep your prompts short as well.
Example: Jazz band playing on stage
Or

Man/ woman playing guitar
3) Start fresh. Sometimes you just get a bad seed.

Cheers

As @DeanUtian noted, we had two threads reporting the same issue. I have merged them together.

Sure thing, attached are sample images and here is a prompt. This is set to produce photos:

 

Create a vibrant and professional illustration that embodies the essence of building high-performing project teams. The image should feature a diverse group of individuals collaborating seamlessly in a modern office setting. Include elements that highlight teamwork, effective communication, leadership, and the use of technology. The scene should convey a sense of unity, innovation, and productivity. Use a clean and contemporary style with bright, motivating colors to inspire viewers. Incorporate visual symbols such as charts, brainstorming sessions, digital devices, and supportive interactions to emphasize the dynamics of a successful project team.

I gave the following prompt and the attached images were generated - completely unusable:

 

Rock band of mixed genders tuning instruments in a large hall

 

(I also varied the prompt slightly to generate more options and one of the images had a person with a bucket for a head 🤨.)

@defaultp37cot0393rd - I tried your prompt and also got a lot of distorted faces. You can click the thumbs down icon over the image and then give feedback, which I have done with some of the results.

 

I tried variations and did not have much success.

When I tied "men and women in a park", the people looked OK, there were some distortions but overall OK.
The prompt "men and women in large hall" got OK people.
The prompt "men and women in large hall playing rock music" resulted in distorted results in faces, bodies, music instruments.

Hey @barryg68995812 

Could you please share an example/ screenshot and your prompt?  Are you using Art or Photo?
If you select Art you will get an aritstic vibe. whereas, when you choose Photo Firefly will generate photo "realistic" images.
As well, you may consider hitting the thumbs up or down button. The developers do read these emails. They may reach out to you to ask for further information. (That is if you click on the button for them to reach out to you.)


The Art and Photo buttons. by selecting one or the other Firefly attempts to give you the desired results you want.
