 These parameters are often more influential than the prompt itself.
+----
+=== 🔥 --style raw ===
+  * **ON** → obeys prompt, less creativity, more literal
+  * **OFF** → MJ injects taste, composition, style
+👉 Best use:
+  * First grid comparison
+  * Technical / precise scenes
+  * Small subject scale control
+----
+=== 🎨 --stylize ===
+Controls how much MJ “beautifies” vs obeys.
+Range roughly:
+  * --stylize 0 → strict, almost raw-like
+  * --stylize 100 → balanced (default-ish)
+  * --stylize 1000 → very artistic, very MJ-style
+👉 Interaction with --style raw:
+  * raw + low stylize → hyper obedient
+  * no raw + high stylize → full MJ magic mode
+----
+=== 🎲 --chaos ===
+Controls variation in the grid.
+  * --chaos 0 → very consistent
+  * --chaos 50 → wild variation
+👉 Best use:
+First exploration grid when you don’t know what you want yet
+----
+=== 🧬 --weird ===
+Underrated and dangerous 😄
+  * --weird 0 → normal
+  * --weird 50–200 → surreal / unexpected
+👉 Great for:
+  * arcane
+  * cosmic
+  * dark fantasy
+----
+=== 🧲 --sref (style reference) ===
+You already touched it:
+anchors color + mood + rendering
+👉 Extremely strong when:
+building a series
+keeping visual consistency
+----
+=== 🧍 --cref / Omni (character reference) ===
+locks character identity / proportions
+👉 Crucial for:
+  * recurring characters
+  * fixing anatomy drift
+----
+=== ⚖️ --cw (character weight) ===
+Controls how strongly --cref is applied.
+--cw 100 → very strict
+--cw 50 → looser
+----
+=== 📐 --ar ===
+remember:
+  * extreme ratios (like 9:20) = composition instability
+  * raw helps stabilize those
+----
+=== 🧠 Hidden Combo (Very Important) ===
+The real power isn’t individual flags, it’s combinations:
+🔬 Precision Mode
+--style raw --stylize 50
+🎨 Artistic Mode
+--stylize 700
+🧪 Exploration Mode
+--chaos 30 --stylize 300

 This is incredibly powerful for consistent aesthetics.
+=== MidJourney workflow notes ===
+=== Core mindset ===
+  * First grids are for discovery
+  * Variations are for nearby alternatives, not a guaranteed "make it better" button
+  * The Editor is for surgery
+  * Subtle Upscale is for final polish
+=== Best working process ===
+  - Generate multiple first grids when needed
+    * test:
+      * raw ON / OFF
+      * personalization ON / OFF
+    * optional:
+      * chaos for broader exploration
+  - Pick the strongest base image
+  - Only use Vary Subtle if I genuinely want nearby siblings or to satisfy curiosity
+  - If the chosen image is already strong, move to Edit
+  - In Edit:
+    * erase only the undesirable zone
+    * do not touch the prompt unless I need a specific new instruction
+    * keep personalization ON if it helped the winning image
+    * generate
+  - Edit one zone at a time
+    * choose the best result
+    * then move to the next zone
+  - When satisfied, use Subtle Upscale for final resolution and detail
+=== What each tool is really for ===
+  * First grid = discovery
+  * Vary Subtle = nearby siblings
+  * Remix = inject one precise new instruction
+  * Editor / Erase / Vary Region = local repair or addition
+  * Subtle Upscale = preserve image, add detail
+  * Creative Upscale = alternate reinterpretation, can occasionally fix small issues
+=== Prompt placement rule for Remix ===
+  * Start of prompt = subject / composition / camera
+  * Middle of prompt = scene logic / interactions / action
+  * End of prompt = mood / rendering / atmosphere / modifiers
+=== When to use what ===
+  * If image is 90%+ right:
+    * do not vary by reflex
+    * edit local flaws if needed
+    * subtle upscale at the end
+  * If image has one bad area:
+    * use Edit / Erase
+  * If image is compositionally wrong:
+    * do not try to repair it with local edits
+    * go back to a new grid or a structural remix
+=== Editing rules ===
+  * One zone at a time
+  * Keep selection tight but with enough context
+  * Avoid changing the full prompt unless necessary
+  * Use edits for:
+    * hands
+    * eyes
+    * fabric
+    * wings
+    * local additions / removals
+  * Do not use edits to reinvent the whole image
+=== Upscaling rule ===
+  * Default: edit first, upscale last
+  * Exception: upscale first only if a tiny flaw needs clearer inspection before editing
+=== Flag logic ===
+  * --style raw = more obedient, less invention
+  * no raw = more MidJourney taste
+  * --stylize = how much MJ beautifies vs obeys
+  * --chaos = first-grid diversity, not a refinement tool
+  * personalization = aesthetic bias layer, not a repair tool
+=== Personal takeaway ===
+  * My strength is already selection
+  * My next improvement is not "iterate more"
+  * My next improvement is knowing when not to iterate
