A Frustrating Double-Foot Discovery

Dani, an enthusiastic user of our AI Comic Strip feature, reached out to LlamaGen.ai Support with a curious issue. In her latest creation, the boy in the comic appeared to have a “double foot.” Despite loving the overall style and story flow, she was perplexed about how to correct this odd image anomaly.

"One more for you! I'm not sure how to use negative prompts... The picture below, I love it, but the boy has like a double foot (the back one). I don’t know what to prompt to correct that!" — Dani

Harnessing the Power of Negative Prompts

Our Support team promptly jumped into action. They introduced Dani to negative prompts—additional instructions that tell the AI precisely what NOT to generate. By using terms like “double foot,” “extra limbs,” and “bad anatomy,” Dani learned she could steer the AI to avoid creating extraneous body parts.

"When specifying what you don't want, clarity is key. Instead of saying 'the foot looks weird,' use precise terms like 'double foot' or 'extra limb.'" — LlamaGen.ai Support

Step-by-Step Guidance

  1. Specificity Counts: We advised Dani to use concise phrases like “deformed feet” or “bad anatomy” in her negative prompts.
  2. Incremental Adjustments: Rather than flooding the AI with endless negative prompts, our team encouraged her to start small and iterate.
  3. Emphasis Techniques: By adding extra parentheses (e.g., ((double foot))) Dani could boost the prompt's importance, ensuring the AI avoided duplicating feet.

The Panel-Removal Puzzle

Around the same time, Dani also wanted to remove a single panel from her multi-panel comic and reorder certain images. Changing layouts, removing pages, and reviewing generation history felt straightforward, yet removing a specific panel or switching its position posed a challenge.

"Say I have a 5-panel page now, and I want to remove the 2nd panel... If I simply change the layout to a 4-panel page, the tool will remove the last panel instead of the one I actually want to remove!" — Dani

The LlamaGen.ai Response

Our Support team offered alternative suggestions:

  • Generation History: Helpful for retrieving older versions or reordering images manually.
  • Adjusting Layouts: A temporary workaround until finer panel-level editing could be rolled out.
  • Upcoming Feature Launch: An enhanced “Delete Panel Image” button allowing for targeted removal and a fluid shift of subsequent panels.

"We're planning to enhance the functionality of the 'Delete Panel Image' button. This will allow you to remove the image from a specific panel, and the subsequent images will shift accordingly. We expect to launch it next week!" — LlamaGen.ai Team Saika

The Happy Ending

By incorporating negative prompts like "double foot", "mutated feet", "extra limbs" and focusing on the appropriate emphasis, Dani finally corrected the boy’s foot issue. And while a custom panel-removal feature was still in development, she successfully reshuffled her story by leveraging layout options and generation history.
