Hello -- I'm new to FF after having used MidJourney for a few months. I have not been getting photo realistic images out of FireFly. Every image I generate looks like art work -- painting or drawing. I'd like to be able to generate variations on my reference image, using my prompts as a guide. Is this possible? If not please consider it a suggestion! (I'm a Mac OS user on Sonoma 14.0, Using FireFly 2)

What prompt did you use and did you try to add a reference style from one of your photos or select from the reference image gallery, I do it all the time, and the reference image, is helping a lot, also you can try to change visual intensity and add your photo settings, also you can add words in advanced settings so it remove that from generated image. But please if you can tell the prompt and the tags that you selected from effects gallery, maybe I can guide you what to remove so it will be realistic photo

Thanks for your reply. I did use my own reference image and at first got a good image generated back. But modifying the original image doesn't give equally impressive results. I am playing with the photography settings -- I'm an experienced photographer -- and that's helpful as you say. But I just tried a prompt that I used with success in Midjourney -- "A Beautiful young redheaded woman on Commercial Street in Provincetown Massachusetts, summertime, a realistic photographic portrait in the style of Joel Meyerowitz" Midjourney knocked that one out of the park -- FireFly's ouput just isn't as good. In both cases I didn't use a referene image because I don't want to directly rippoff Joel's images. I'll keep working at this -- I'd like to use Adobe for most of my photography related stuff. I'm having good luck with new features in Lightroom -- denoise and HDR.
