Struggling with Skin Realism in Fooocus

[orangejuiceone]

Hi everyone,

I recently installed Fooocus on my PC (GPU RTX3080) following the provided instructions. I also checked out guides on how to use prompts, like "sharply focused human skin" and "visible facial skin pores." Despite this, the skin realism in my generated images is lacking. I enabled negative prompts as well, such as "perfect skin," "unrealistic," "bad," "ugly," and "low-quality," but the image generation, skin texture, and overall quality still aren't up to par.

When I compare my results with Midjourney, the difference is like night and day. I like the Fooocus' feature of using existing images along with prompts and the fine control options, but so far, my outcomes have been disappointing.

Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong or tips to significantly improve the skin realism output? Thanks in advance!
