Experiment: color, lighting, and other variables

Goal: sketches of prompts to control color, lighting, mood, camera and most important, character.

I used a few different models and got a few interesting results. Still lots to learn.

–Version or –V Parameter,--v 5.1
–Style or –Style Raw Parameter, "--style cute", "--style scenic", "--style original", or "--style expressive".
–Seed Parameter, 0 to 4294967295
–Aspect or –AR Parameter
–Chaos or –C Parameter, 0 to 100.
–Stylize or –S Parameter, default value for stylize is 100, and it accepts integer values from 0 to 100
–Weird or –W Parameter, 0 to 3000, with the default weird value being 0
–Quality or –Q Parameter, 1, and it only accepts the values 0.25, 0.5, and 1.

More light and color

Hue: Tint or gradation of color. Sometimes use with shade and overtone. In the Munsell Color System, the 5 hues are red, yellow, green, blue and purple.
Saturation: How much of a color is present. sometimes chroma used interchangeably with saturation, but it is technically a scale used by the Munsell Color System to compare the brilliance of different colors. “saturated and “unsaturated” on image results.
Luminescence: The amount of light emitted over the area of a surface. Sometimes used with lightness or brilliance. “bright lighting” and “dark lighting”.
Tone: The effect in painting of light and shade together with color. “warm” and “cool”.
Contrast: Dissimilarity between elements in an images; can apply to color, light and texture. “high contrast” and “low contrast”.
