Pro tips

Upload a clear front-facing selfie in good light as the base image for best face consistency. Add --cref to reference a color palette image if you want to lock the background tone precisely. Run at least 4 variations (--repeat 4) and pick the sharpest eye contact result. If the tie reads too formal, swap 'gold tie' for 'open collar white shirt' for a modern tech-exec look.
