Why Do AI Relationship App Images Fail?
Image generation can fail or produce unsatisfactory results for several reasons:
- Prompt format issues: Emphasis formatting, contradictory instructions, or overwhelming detail
- AI errors: Processing failures or unexpected system behavior
- Content policy: Prompts flagged as inappropriate or violating terms
- Configuration issues: Face Fidelity, appearance notes, or settings conflicts
- Technical problems: Server errors or connection issues
Most failures are solvable through prompt refinement or setting adjustments.
What Is a Burned Image in Nomi Art?
A “burned” image is an output where the generator appears overwhelmed by prompt instructions, resulting in:
- Noticeably lower quality than expected
- Washed-out, overexposed appearance
- Distorted or unclear features
- Artificial or artificial-looking quality
- Blurry or low-detail rendering
Root cause: Excessive emphasis formatting in prompts. Brackets [like this] or parentheses (like this) cause the generator to overprocess the prompt, resulting in burned output.
Nomi’s guidance: Avoid all emphasis formatting for clean results.
Fix 1: Remove Prompt Emphasis
The most common cause of burned images is emphasis formatting.
Remove These Formatting Styles
❌ Brackets: “wearing [beautiful elegant dress]”
✅ Correct: “wearing beautiful elegant dress”
❌ Parentheses: “with (important) necklace”
✅ Correct: “with important necklace”
❌ Numerical weights: “dress (2.0) necklace (1.5)”
✅ Correct: “dress and necklace”
❌ Multiple asterisks: “***beautiful*** dress”
✅ Correct: “beautiful dress”
Simple Clean Format
Use only commas to separate ideas:
“wearing elegant dress, beautiful necklace, soft lighting, peaceful mood, realistic portrait”
This simple format produces cleaner, higher-quality images.
Fix 2: Simplify a Long Prompt
Overwhelming the generator with too many details causes failures.
Long Problematic Prompt
“wearing a beautiful and elegant and detailed ornate dress with embroidery and beads and ribbons and lace and flowers and intricate patterns and jewelry and headpiece and accessories and historical details and Renaissance aesthetic and detailed fabrics and complex styling”
Simplified Effective Prompt
“wearing ornate Renaissance dress with embroidery, jewelry and headpiece, elegant aesthetic, beautiful detailed illustration”
Simplification Rules
- Focus on 3-5 most important elements
- Avoid repetitive descriptors (don’t say “beautiful” three times)
- Remove secondary details; let the generator infer them
- Keep prompt to 2-3 sentences maximum
- Trust the generator to handle details without over-specification
Fix 3: Remove Conflicting Instructions
Contradictory prompts confuse the generator and cause failures.
Conflicting Poses
❌ Wrong: “sitting and standing and walking”
✅ Right: “sitting peacefully on bench”
Choose ONE primary action and stick with it.
Conflicting Locations
❌ Wrong: “standing in café and beach and forest”
✅ Right: “standing in café, peaceful mood”
Conflicting Expressions
❌ Wrong: “happy, sad, angry expression”
✅ Right: “peaceful gentle smile”
Check Your Prompt
Before generating, ensure your prompt describes:
- ONE location or environment
- ONE primary pose or action
- ONE dominant emotion/expression
- ONE general aesthetic direction
Fix 4: Improve Outfit, Pose and Scene Details
Vague descriptions lead to disappointing results. Be specific:
Vague Outfit
❌ Weak: “wearing clothes”
✅ Strong: “wearing cream linen shirt and light blue jeans”
Vague Pose
❌ Weak: “posing”
✅ Strong: “sitting on café chair, one leg crossed, hand holding coffee cup”
Vague Scene
❌ Weak: “in a place”
✅ Strong: “sitting in modern café, soft morning light through windows, warm wooden tables”
Fix 5: Rephrase Potentially Flagged Content
Nomi doesn’t allow nude or explicit image generation. If your prompt fails unexpectedly, check for flagged terms:
Content Policy
- No nude or sexually explicit requests
- No extremely graphic or violent content
- No content violating app-store or payment-processor standards
Rephrase Sensitive Prompts
❌ Flagged: “nude portrait”
✅ Rephrase: “wearing soft sweater, intimate close-up portrait”
❌ Flagged: Language suggesting explicit content
✅ Rephrase: Use romantic or intimate language instead of explicit terms
Nomi’s guide states that content failures may occur from system errors or false positives. Rephrasing non-explicit prompts often resolves unexpected failures.
Fix 6: Match Your Pose Reference and Aspect Ratio
When using pose references, ensure compatibility:
Aspect Ratio Mismatch
Problem: Vertical pose reference + horizontal output requested
Fix: Choose same aspect ratio for reference and output
Unclear Reference
Problem: Blurry or ambiguous reference image
Fix: Use clear, well-framed reference with obvious pose
Contradictory Description
Problem: “Sitting” pose reference but prompt says “standing”
Fix: Ensure text prompt matches the reference pose
Fix 7: Use Negative Prompts Carefully
Negative prompts (after “///”) exclude unwanted elements but can conflict with your main prompt.
Effective Negative Prompts
“wearing white dress, peaceful mood /// extra people, blurry background, text, watermarks”
Ineffective/Conflicting
❌ Wrong: “wearing white dress /// white dress” (contradicts main request)
✅ Right: “wearing white dress /// other people, distractions”
Negative Prompt Rules
- Don’t negate your own main request
- Keep negative prompts brief (3-5 terms max)
- Use only for unwanted elements (extra people, artifacts, defects)
- Avoid overly complex negation structures
What Happens When a Nomi Image Generation Fails?
Failure Scenarios
No image produced: Generator encountered error, content flag, or system issue
Generation times out: Server processing failure or connection issue
Image quality is poor: Burned image from emphasis formatting or overwhelming details
Credit Refund
Nomi automatically refunds image-request credits when generations fail to complete. You won’t lose credits on failed attempts.
Immediate Next Steps
Step 1: Analyze what went wrong (format, content, clarity)
Step 2: Rephrase the prompt using fixes above
Step 3: Try a simpler version first (fewer elements, no emphasis)
Step 4: Generate again
Nomi Art Troubleshooting Checklist
When an image fails or doesn’t match your vision, work through this checklist:
□ Remove all emphasis formatting (brackets, parentheses, asterisks)
□ Simplify the prompt (reduce to 3-5 key elements)
□ Remove contradictions (one location, one pose, one mood)
□ Verify aspect ratio (especially with pose references)
□ Check negative prompt (doesn’t contradict main request)
□ Rephrase sensitive terms if flagged
□ Confirm appearance notes (not conflicting with prompt)
□ Check Face Fidelity setting (appropriate for desired output)
□ Try a completely new prompt (sometimes starting fresh helps)
□ Wait and retry (if server issue, retry in a few moments)
Common Image Problems and Quick Fixes
| Problem | Likely Cause | Recommended Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Burned/low quality | Emphasis formatting or overloaded prompt | Remove [brackets] and (parentheses); simplify |
| Extra limbs/distorted | Conflicting pose instructions | Use one clear pose; remove competing descriptions |
| Missing details | Too many elements competing | Prioritize key details; remove secondary elements |
| Generation failed | Content flagged, AI error, or format issue | Rephrase; try simpler version; wait and retry |
| Wrong outfit/style | Vague clothing description | Be specific: colors, fabrics, style (e.g., “cream knit sweater”) |
| Inconsistent appearance | Appearance notes conflict or Face Fidelity too low | Check appearance notes; increase Face Fidelity |
| Pose doesn’t match reference | Mismatched aspect ratio or vague text description | Match reference/output format; describe pose clearly |
| Blurry image | Too many competing elements or clarity not emphasized | Simplify prompt; add “detailed clear image” or “sharp focus” |
Essential Compliance Note: Content Restrictions
Nomi Art does not allow nude or explicit image generation due to payment-processing restrictions and app-store terms. This isn’t a bug or workaround opportunity—it’s a core policy.
If your prompt receives an unexpected failure and you believe it’s non-explicit, rephrase using more neutral or romantic language and retry. Some systems produce false positives.
Advanced Troubleshooting for Persistent Issues
If problems persist after all fixes:
- Try generating with completely different prompt (test if it’s prompt-specific or system-wide)
- Check your Nomi’s appearance notes for unintended conflicts
- Reduce Face Fidelity if you’re getting consistency errors
- Wait a few minutes and retry (if server issues)
- Contact Nomi support if systematic failures continue
Conclusion: Mastering Nomi Art Reliability
Most Nomi Art issues come from prompt format problems or conflicting instructions. Clean, simple prompts with specific details produce reliable results. When failures occur, systematic troubleshooting using this guide typically resolves the issue.
The key principle: Clarity and simplicity beat complexity and emphasis.
