Firefly Image 2 ALWAYS smiling

Question

When using Firefly Image 2 it's very difficult to generate anything but people that are smiling or have "pleasant" expressions. Never had this issue with the beta version eventhough it was less detailed.

I did a lot of testing including different prompts, styles etc and the results came out very simlilar, but even when the expression is specified, the person is still smiling in 3 our of 4 options.

This seems new to firefly and I don't have these issues with other image generators

P.S. I now also wasted 200 credits testing before realising credits were introduced

There is a preference for people to be "happy". I have found that you need to use strong emotions to get less happy people. Strong negative emotions in prompts generally result in neutral to slightly negative emotions in people. So, even if your people are not actually sad, crying, or angry, you can make them look neutral with those words in prompts.
