Ugly Faces - How do I avoid this?

I continue to have problems with Adobe and Partner generative tools returning terrible faces - the AI changes eye direction, adds smiles, adds glasses, changes expressions. So frustrating. A recent AI chat session here said to add statement like “Do NOT alter facial features" "Preserve every face exactly as it appears” That didn’t work either. The AI response said not to use “RESTORE” commands but instead just colorize. Kind of defeats my goal. Can any one help? This is taking hours and hours and multiple passes in the hopes of lucking out. Surely there is a simple way to adress this?

    Isolate the area you want GenAI to work on. 

    AI works best on selected areas rather than entire images. Less pixels to confuse it.

    Without seeing your start point and modified outcome, a possible way would be to copy the original faces and paste/blend/mask them back to composite them with the AI modified version.

    What are you trying to do, what is a typical prompt, which Ai models are you using?

    Please post screenshots including all pertinent panels to illustrate.

     

    Edit: sorry about the multiple posts, I was experiencing problems with the page.
