Inclusion rule. A tool is listed when its own help page covers what the question asks. Order. Tools in alphabetical order.

The pages agree on the method: show the model the same person, from more than one angle, every time.

They differ on where that reference lives. Some keep it in a project, some in a library shared across projects, some only in the prompt for one generation.

Luma's guide adds a warning worth reading before any project: drift is easiest to fix early, while there are still few shots to redo.

Luma

If your character or product keeps subtly changing, it’s usually because Luma doesn’t know what must stay the same.
