How to get a strong result
Tips for better results
Start with the subject, then add lighting, style, and anything that must stay the same. Upload a reference whenever you want a more controlled edit.
- 1
Keep prompts explicit
Base Klein responds best to clear subject and style instructions.
- 2
Pair with distilled tiers
Use 4B Base to explore, distilled Klein or Pro to ship.
- 3
Avoid overloading references
Start simple; complexity can muddy small-base results.
- 4
Watch output size needs
Upgrade when the deliverable needs higher fidelity.
