Clean cyan, magenta, and violet displaced silhouette echoes trace the edge of her hair, face, neck, and shoulders as crisp prism offset contour layers. The main face remains sharply readable while the colored afterimage forms create a controlled optical residue around the subject.</code></p><h3 id="shadow-echo-portrait">Shadow Echo Portrait</h3><p><code>retinal_echo, shadow_echo, dark_offset_shadow, displaced_silhouette, retinal_ghost, echo_trail, A retinal echo style medium close-up portrait of a man in a dark shirt, shown from a slightly low three-quarter angle with moody cinematic lighting. Layered smoky blue-gray, deep teal, charcoal, and near-black shadow echoes repeat behind his head, neck, and shoulders as clearly separated spatial silhouette duplicates. The face remains sharply readable while the dark echo layers add depth and visual tension.</code></p><h3 id="negative-afterimage-object">Negative Afterimage Object</h3><p><code>retinal_echo, negative_afterimage, complementary_color_echo, displaced_silhouette, retinal_ghost, echo_trail, A retinal echo style object study of black sunglasses with glossy dark lenses, shown in a slightly tilted product view against a dark navy-black studio background. Complementary cyan and orange displaced afterimage echoes appear around the frame, lenses, bridge, and temple arms, creating a strong retinal optical impression. The sunglasses remain crisp and readable with clean separation between the original object and the colored echo forms.</code></p><h3 id="animal-afterimage">Animal Afterimage</h3><p><code>retinal_echo, negative_afterimage, complementary_color_echo, displaced_silhouette, retinal_ghost, echo_trail, A retinal echo style animal portrait of a red fox standing in a clear side-facing three-quarter pose against a simple dark gray studio background. Cyan, violet, orange, and warm yellow afterimage contours repeat behind the ears, head, back, legs, and tail as clean displaced silhouette layers. The fox remains sharply readable while the echo forms create a strong but controlled optical residue.</code></p><h3 id="hybrid-fashion-editorial">Hybrid Fashion Editorial</h3><p><code>retinal_echo, prism_offset, negative_afterimage, shadow_echo, color_shadow_echo, complementary_color_echo, displaced_silhouette, spectral_offset, retinal_ghost, echo_trail, A retinal echo style fashion editorial portrait of a seated woman in a sculptural black outfit, shown with a subtle dutch tilt and dramatic studio lighting. Crisp cyan and magenta prism echoes trace the outer body silhouette, while darker smoky shadow duplicates sit behind the figure for depth. Selective orange-cyan negative afterimage accents appear around the hands, shoulders, and face, creating a layered optical residue while keeping the pose and facial features clearly readable.</code></p><h2 id="prompting-tip">Prompting Tip</h2><p>For Flux, describe the echo effect as a sentence, not only as tags.</p><p>Good wording:</p><p><code>Clean cyan and magenta displaced silhouette echoes trace the head, shoulders, arms, and outer body contour as crisp prism offset layers.</code></p><p><code>Layered smoky charcoal and deep teal shadow echoes repeat behind the subject as clearly separated spatial silhouette duplicates.</code></p><p><code>Complementary orange and cyan negative afterimage forms appear around the object edges, creating a strong retinal optical impression.</code></p><p><code>The main subject remains sharply readable while the echo layers create controlled optical residue around the silhouette.</code></p><h2 id="avoid">Avoid</h2><p>Chaotic glitch, heavy motion blur, unreadable faces, random body duplication, messy rainbow noise, cluttered backgrounds, excessive abstraction, and echo effects that overpower the subject.<br /><br /><span style="background-color:rgb(26, 27, 30);color:rgb(141, 141, 143);font-family:-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;;font-size:16px">Anything you find of mine outside of Civitai is shared without my permission.</span><br /><span style="background-color:rgb(26, 27, 30);color:rgb(141, 141, 143);font-family:-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;;font-size:16px">Please do not reupload my files outside Civitai.</span><br /><span style="background-color:rgb(26, 27, 30);color:rgb(141, 141, 143);font-family:-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;;font-size:16px">Link to my profile instead.

ta86_yal_retinal_echo

<p>First test to train that style. If you don't prompt it, ZIT won't make it happen ;)<br /><br />Go between 0.4-0.8<br />0.8-1.0 goes a bit intense. Be careful with overfitting.<br />Euler_ancestral/dpmpp_2m_sde | simple/beta working fine<br />Euler_ancestral + ddim_uniform can be awesome for heavy colors/styles<br /><br />Anything you find of mine outside of Civitai is shared without my permission.<br />Please do not reupload my files outside Civitai.<br />Link to my profile instead.
