Face swapping - cannot preserve identity from reference
Outpainting - can't extend canvas reliably
Use With Care
Multi-image compositing - CAN work with explicit identity anchors (see examples.md for prompt patterns). Requires describing distinctive features (hair texture/color, ethnicity, outfit) and using guidance ~2.0
Camera angle changes - Inconsistent results. Vertical angles (low/high) work better than rotational (three-quarter view)
