| Raw ON | Less processed, natural, organic feel | Photorealism, documentary style, authentic aesthetics |
Pro Tips for Best Results
- FLUX excels at intricate details — don’t hesitate to describe ornate, complex elements.
- Include material descriptions: “brass and copper”, “chrome finish”, “weathered wood”.
- Specify lighting conditions for more controlled outputs.
- Use raw mode when you want images that feel more like photographs than renders.
- Layer your descriptions: subject → details → environment → style → mood.
- The model handles long, detailed prompts exceptionally well — be descriptive!
Notes
- The enable_base64_output option is only available through the API.
- Generation time may vary based on prompt complexity and queue load.
- FLUX 1.1 Pro Ultra represents the highest quality tier in the FLUX family.
- Raw mode is particularly effective for portraits and natural scenes.
