Everybody Develops Their Own "Tricks"

Like many of us who first dip our pinkie toe into the waters of AI Text-To-Art, I started with the most simple and cheapest models I could work with. In my case, it was Flux Schnell. This was just over a year ago, and for a while that was my go-to, and in fact, for a while the only model I'd use. Even once I had become a "pro" member on NC, I'd stick to the free model and spend my credits on enhancing and such. But after a while, that got boring and limiting. And I tried a few other models to various levels of satisfaction. I had heard about loras but had no idea what they were. I did get a little bit of help from a couple of friends, some gentle and simple coaching, and suddenly virtually all I was doing was Flux Lora items. And I liked it a lot. But as other models began to come online, I liked their base models better than I like Flux. And I had begun starting to play around with an idea that worked to a degree; used it on Flux Schnell for Daily Challenges as well as with some of the other models... an add-on to my prompt using some of the "trigger words" for the loras I liked. I don't know if it's revolutionary. I don't know if it's Kosher. I don't know how anybody else feels, all I know is that words are words, and we use words to build the prompts we want. For several months, virtually every creation I made had this as the final part of the prompt: *"insanely detailed, vibrant colors, Hyperrealistic, intricately detailed, color depth, dramatic, 2/3 face angle, side light, colorful background LTp: 300mm on full frame photography balanced, vibrant colors photorealistic realistic photoreal real realistic Extremely detailed, Cinematic"* Yes, I know there is some redundancy in there. And occasionally I would add in a few more favorites, but these were the ones that were most often used. I rarely use these now. The newer models we have access to seem to work as well or better without those trigger words. But it was a trick that worked for a while, and still does on rare occasion that I'm at a loss to get the look I'm trying for.
