Thank you so much for taking the time! That is great progress, I will try to play with this one. Hopefully I can get the same foreground with fewer fences in the background, and/or more space between the camera and the horses (I've NEVER had any luck pulling the camera back.) I'll see what I can do with this, thank you!

It's like at 11:30AM, someone just flipped a switch... deny all other users. Was working fine, then BAM, "anti-bot blah blah blah" and nothing loads. Is it unregulated testing being done in the live environment, or is it intentional ?!?

Devs switched to a new model. To save $$$ it does things differently to use less resources. Images now completely hit or miss, so you have to generate 10x more images to get usable results. Resource use ACTUALLY being reduced??? Hard to say when I have to generate SOOOO many more images because this one ignores MUCH prompt data. Seems like "Cut off nose to spite face."

Front view of Woman with her hair slicked back. You see a ponytail raised up from behind her head.

Thank you for trying to help! I should have specified within the "Professional Photo" style, I need to retain a stylistic consistency across various images. When I do that with your prompt, none of them result in a tight style. Of 16, 6 of the images were from the back. Two more were from the front, but with the ponytail hanging in front of the face. All but one had quite loose hair and a fuck ton of flyaways Several had hair buns instead of ponytails, all also loose. Also, I need the woman to be looking into the camera, not downward, which most of the "Casual Photo" attempts yielded. I do appreciate your input though!

Also, this will be incorporated as a detail in a larger description... adding basically any detail to this is likely to wipe it out (color, length, facial features and expressions.) What I am looking for is specific word choices/descriptors that will consistently generate this style. I have used "slicked back" on its own (and repetitively within the prompt) over and over again to no avail.

I am not one to use a very short prompt and accept what is given... that is letting the AI imagine a thing. I want to imagine a thing myself, and have the AI depict it as close to I describe as possible. My prompts tend to be much longer, so complex specificity must be combined with brevity.

Thank you again though!

I appreciate your answer, it appears I had some other background syntax error. Decided to rearrange my inputs just a moment ago and somehow fixxored it accimagically.

Img Gen is down again.... looks like someone is using the production environment as their own personal sandbox again...

"relatively new under the hood it is a highly technical model at that, and so lota solutions experimenting, and developmental research is needed."

In other words, they are using the production environment as a test platform. Brilliant.

Youre not crazy, I had this exact issue. I dont have a solution, I mostly stopped using galleries. If I could move images between them I might use them, but I always end up with the wrong file in the wrong gallery and get annoyed anyway so rarely use them. I tried to sort it, had no luck... I tried the same things as you, multiple browsers... never solved it. I found that while the gallery would be empty according to perchance, if I bookmarked the actual image file before they disappeared, I could still access the image - sometimes. Feels like a browser config issue, but I never went back to trying to figure it out.
