The same image generated twice

i changed the prompt slightly and received the same image back. now it costs 10 credits - I assumed I'd get a slightly different result

Hi Gabrielle_7099!

Each generation batch uses seeds (random numbers) behind the scenes to generate a unique image. If you hit 'generate' multiple times without making changes, it will generate new seeds for that batch of photos. If you, however, make a change to the prompt such that your new generation would differ in some way from your most recent generation, we keep the same seeds; this way, you can make subtle adjustments

 

Let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Hey @gabrielle_7099 

 

Here are few steps that you can take when this occurs.

The process of prompting and getting the desired results ends up being a lot of trial and error.

Steps to take:
- Delete the images that are not working for you

- Open a new tab and start over or with a reference image: style or composition image.

- Use a different model

 

- Draw out the image (even a rough sketch can help.)

- Change the seed number. 0.50 mark 


Cheers

Nate

Unfortunately, this is not unusual, even when using AI models outside of Photoshop or Firefly.
