Prompt weighting guide:

**Automatic1111 Syntax:**

Emphasis (increase weight):
- (word) = 1.1x
- ((word)) = 1.21x
- (((word))) = 1.33x
- (word:1.5) = 1.5x exactly

De-emphasis (decrease):
- [word] = 0.9x
- [[word]] = 0.81x
- (word:0.5) = 0.5x exactly

**Weight Ranges:**
- 0.5-0.8: Subtle presence
- 0.9-1.1: Normal influence
- 1.2-1.5: Emphasized
- 1.5-2.0: Strong (use carefully)

**Practical Examples:**

Portrait emphasis:
(detailed face:1.3),
(beautiful eyes:1.2),
(soft lighting:1.1)

Style mixing:
(oil painting:0.7),
(watercolor:0.3)

Reducing unwanted:
(person:1.0), [crowd:0.5]

**Prompt Scheduling:**
Change during generation:
[word1:word2:0.5]
= word1 for first 50%, word2 after

**AND Syntax:**
prompt1 AND prompt2
Processes separately, combines result

**BREAK Syntax:**
prompt1 BREAK prompt2
Separates attention chunks

**Best Practices:**
- Start subtle (1.1-1.3)
- Test incrementally
- Don't over-weight everything
- Balance is key
- Use for key elements only

**Common Mistakes:**
- Over-weighting (>1.8)
- Weighting everything
- Conflicting weights
- Ignoring total balance
