BasedLabs Pro Tips
🍿 Lock a style kit: define lens, palette, poses, and a few signature props; reuse the same prompt scaffold + seed for consistency.
🍿 Pick engines by task: SDXL/FLUX for general looks; Imagen 3 / “OpenAI Image 1” when text on product/packaging must be clean; Stable Video Diffusion / Veo 3 for motion (start from a strong keyframe).
🍿 A/B models quickly: duplicate the prompt and switch engines/CFG one at a time; keep seed constant to compare like-for-like.
🍿 Iterate with small deltas: tweak only 1–2 variables (lighting, lens, time of day) to polish without losing composition.
🍿 Face Swap + Upscale last: generate the base shot, lock composition, then swap faces and upscale only on final selects to save credits and retain detail.
🍿 Leverage templates/Ideas/Feed: copy a close prompt, then swap nouns, brand colors, and camera terms for faster convergence.
🍿 Discord workflow: add the bot to a #gen channel; pin “house prompts” (brand hex, ARs, seed policy) for team speed.
🍿 Color consistency: reference a palette or brand swatch in every prompt; consider LUT-style wording (“teal/orange cine grade”).
🍿 Measure what matters: track saves, shares, profile taps, and CTR - not just likes - to pick winning styles.
🍿 Name/version assets: brand_char-outfit_scene_model_seed_v03 for clean handoff and re-runs.
