Seeds
Understand seed limitations and what to record for repeatable image comparisons. LocalBanana’s standard generator does not currently expose a seed control.
What a seed can and cannot do
A seed initializes the random process in image generators that expose it. Its meaning depends on the tool and model version. It is not a portable image ID, a saved character, or a guarantee that the same prompt will recreate the same picture.
Seed controls in LocalBanana
The standard LocalBanana generator currently has no seed input, and using a gallery prompt does not attach an original seed. Do not look for a seed slider or assume that a copied --seed flag works across models. Use the controls actually shown for your selected model.
What to record for a useful comparison
- Keep the exact prompt and language, selected model and version, reference images, aspect ratio, and any visible size or quality settings.
- Save the generation date and output image. Note missing settings as unknown instead of guessing them from the picture.
- Change one input at a time. Without a controlled seed, random variation remains a possible explanation for differences; a single pair does not prove a prompt improvement.
- If another tool exposes a seed, record it together with that tool’s version and settings. Follow that provider’s documentation; do not transfer its behavior to every generator.
Choose the right kind of consistency
For similar style, use a complete prompt and matching settings as a starting point. For the same person, use a reference workflow and inspect the result. For unchanged foreground pixels, preserve the original foreground with masks and layers; a seed or text instruction cannot substitute for that workflow.
