- Name the material in a text description, such as oil paint with visible brushstrokes, not just painterly.
- A style image with a strong, simple look works better than a mix of styles.
- Expect faces to shift slightly. If likeness matters, compare a few runs.
- Only use photos you have the right to use, and people who have agreed to it.
