Keeping your face the same
Keep the face instruction
Every prompt here asks Gemini to keep your face, features and skin tone unchanged. Keep that line when you edit a prompt.
Start fresh if it drifts
After many edits in one chat the face can slowly change. A new chat with the original photo resets it.
Getting the details right
Describe colours and fabrics
“Emerald green silk saree with a gold border” gives a far better result than “green saree”.
