Emphasis And Weighting

Some tags need a little push to actually show up. The AUTOMATIC1111 interface uses explicit weights such as (tag:1.2). Other prompt parsers can use different syntax.

Weight Levels

+-------------+--------+------------------------------------------+
| Syntax      | Weight | When to use                              |
+-------------+--------+------------------------------------------+
| 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

- Character count: (solo:1.21), (1girl:1.21)
- Skin tone: (dark skin:1.21), (fair skin:1.21)
- Eye symmetry: (symmetrical eyes:1.33)
- Facial hair: (full beard:1.21), (thick beard:1.21)

The Triple-Stack Trick

When something just won't stick, hit it from multiple angles:

(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.

Syntax Rules

Put an explicit numeric weight after a colon inside the parentheses:

CORRECT:   (dark skin:1.21)
WRONG:     (dark skin) 1.21
ALSO VALID: ((dark skin))  # nested emphasis in AUTOMATIC1111

Nested weights don't work. If you see A1111 syntax like (tag:1.3), just rewrite it as (tag:1.3)

In Practice

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)
