Emphasis And Weighting
A little push
Some tags need a shove to actually show up. We use Compel syntax to give them extra weight. Compel is the weighting language A1111 understands here: parentheses, then a number glued to the close.
How hard to push
| Syntax | Weight | When |
|---|---|---|
tag |
1.0x | Normal, no boost |
(tag)1.1 |
1.1x | Gentle nudge |
(tag)1.21 |
1.21x | Standard boost for important stuff |
(tag)1.33 |
1.33x | Strong push for stubborn features |
(tag)1.5 |
1.5x | Heavy handed. Use sparingly. |
Always boost these
Show me.
(solo)1.21, (1girl)1.21
(dark skin)1.21, (fair skin)1.21
(symmetrical eyes)1.33
(full beard)1.21, (thick beard)1.21
Character count, skin tone, eye symmetry, facial hair. Those four wander off if you leave them at 1.0.
The triple-stack
When something just will not stick, hit it from multiple angles:
Show me.
(dark skin)1.21, (brown skin)1.21, (dark skinned man)1.21
Three synonyms hammering the same concept. Works way better than cranking one tag to 1.5.
No space after the paren
Weight goes right after the closing paren. No space.
Show me.
CORRECT: (dark skin)1.21
WRONG: (dark skin) 1.21
WRONG: ((dark skin))
Nested weights do not work. If you see A1111 colon syntax like (tag:1.3), rewrite it as (tag)1.3.
In a real prompt
Quality tags with emphasis:
masterpiece, best quality, detailed eyes, (symmetrical eyes)1.33, perfect eyes, detailed face
Character with skin tone boosted:
(solo)1.21, 1boy, man in his 30s, (dark skin)1.21, (brown skin)1.21
Facial hair that actually shows up:
(full beard)1.21, (thick beard)1.21
