"Advanced Settings" Loss

No longer having the "Advanced Settings" makes using Firefly very frustrating and a waste of time for me. Perhaps adjusting the prompt to include a feature, such as using parenthesis or brackets, to indicate a subtractive prompt... if that makes sense.

Otherwise, love this!

I think Adobe has indicated the disappearance of the negative prompt section was not intended. So, hopefully it will return.

 

But, when you want to include "negative" prompts in the main prompt, consider this: the model does not seem to understand the coupling of two words where one word negates the other. Because of that, you end up with the thing you are trying to eliminate actually getting added.  For example,

  • "no mountain" ends up generating mountains
  • "without facial hair" ends up showing beards
  • "no men" ends up adding men
  • "no stairs" ends up adding a staircase

 

It is best to try to describe the negative prompt concept in a single word, if possible (even if the word you use is not a real English word):

  • "beardless" rather than "without facial hair"
  • "mountainless" rather than "no mountains"
  • "flat-land" rather than "no mountains"
  • "women" rather than "no men"
  • "stairless" rather than "no stairs"

 

Hyphenating words seems to connect words more than a space, but not as much as if it was a single word (if that makes sense). If two words is a "zero" connexion and one word is a "ten" connexion, hyphenating seems to be around "three" in my experience (if that makes sense). But hypenating does not seem to solve the negative word coupling issue ("no-mountains" is not better than "no mountains").

 

I have no inside information on the model. This is what I have pieced together from using it over the past year. I hope this helps some until the negative prompt box returns.
