Hi everyone. I’m finding that I am struggling to create images of clean shaven men. Every image I generate unless under the age of 17 always puts a beard on my creations. I have tried putting clean shaven, clean shaved, no beard, no facial hair but my images are still coming out with beards. Any suggestions would be grateful. Many thanks

I’ll admit, I played with it for a couple of minutes and I felt like I couldn’t hack it. I guess I’m out of practice!
Here’s the prompt:
Please use this exact prompt: “A portrait of a middle-aged gentleman with a refined appearance and a smooth, clear, baby-faced complexion”
The trick, as usual, is to keep in mind that negative prompts don’t really work, and generally have the inverse effect. You need to come up with clever ways to rephrase things positively to help you get the results you want 
since we’re on the openai forum I would never say that dalle 3 is almost antiquated when it comes to image models, and that open source models you can run on your pc might meet or exceed what you can do with dalle. :^)

I was just going to reiterate regarding negative prompting. In my experience it only causes the model to focus exclusively on the negative, so as has been stated, finding a clever way to state the affirmative of what you want rather than what you don’t want… It’s like positive reinforcement. Give me this please. See what happens and if you do not get it rather than correcting via “hey, don’t give me that” instead try another round of what you do want. It’s like parenting
I tried to generate a man and woman standing on the beach hand in hand watching the sunset but it would not be generated said was against their standard, this puzzled me so I got it to do the same only with two men and it greater it, now why are we having double standards
Thank you, thats very helpful!
haha, one of life’s mysteries!
