Scaling slider for textures

I'm having success generating textures, but I have no real control over the scale. Most results are too close, and trying various prompt elements to zoom out, reduce scale, etc. have no predictable outcome and are usually ignored.

Please consider a development fork that allows users to scale textures (and possibly apply orientation, angle of view, etc).

In this instance, I'm referring to the T2I feature alone (but it would be great for text as well). I'm not sure if a style function would help because my guess is most use cases would involve a relative change. Generating the texture "large" to begin with allows for seeing the details clearly, but applying the texture to an image (or using it as a tiling texture in a 3D model) would require the texture to be scaled down and rendered with neutral lighting.

However, a category that somehow gives scale metrics would be useful and would be more UX friendly. For example a Textures group that has a category for "Tilable textures" would be an excellent start. This is a key frustration for me when looking at stock images of textures - they're all fairly close and in many cases macro shots. Creating larger surfaces means getting creative with content-aware fill, healing, stamping, etc.

Two use cases to consider are: hair and skin samples to help with retouching (I've talked with Nack about this a bit); clouds for sky replacement.

FYI - I'm also under NDA w/ Adobe if that offers you some other options to discuss.

Thanks for your suggestion. Are you talking about the Text Effect module or the Text to Image module? Would it be helpful to include a Style or category for textures?
