Tips

Good to know

Default reproduces the source prompt. The seeded config generates the “woman submerged, eyes closed, serene” look.

Water effects add texture. Bubbles & droplets are the default; swap to lily pads or gold dust for a different mood.

Credit cost — same as a standard generation. Post-generation tools (background removal, sticker border) are free and run in your browser.
