The Bad-to-Pro (Photography) Slider

A slider that adjusts photographic quality across the full spectrum—from terrible amateur snapshots on the negative end to award-winning professional work on the positive side.

On the negative scale, expect all the hallmarks of bad photography: poor composition, terrible lighting, images that are out of focus or badly exposed. These are the spontaneous snapshots you'd immediately delete from your phone. On the positive end, you get professional-grade results with compelling composition, perfect exposure and lighting, sharp focus, and imagery that actually tells a story.

Recommended range is -2 to 4, though you can push beyond if you're experimenting. Just be aware that the negative end produces intentionally bad images (that's the point), while pushing too high on the positive end can result in overly sharp, almost artificial-looking results.

Useful for when you want a specific photographic aesthetic without wrestling with your prompts to get there.
