Fine-Tuning Text-to-Image Models for Output Quality
A company uses a text-to-image model to generate marketing visuals. The outputs often contain distorted human faces. Which technique is most likely to improve face generation?

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Fine-tune the model on a curated dataset of human faces
Fine-tuning the model on a high-quality dataset of human faces directly addresses the distortion issue by specializing the model for face generation. Option B (increasing output resolution) may improve overall image sharpness but does not specifically correct face distortions. Option C (increasing inference steps) can enhance image coherence but is not targeted at face quality. Option D (reducing classifier-free guidance scale) decreases prompt adherence, which could actually worsen face generation rather than improve it.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Fine-tune the model on a curated dataset of human faces
Why this is correct
Fine-tuning adjusts the model's weights on curated face data, teaching it the specific facial structures and proportions it currently renders poorly. This directly targets the distorted-face failure mode, unlike prompt engineering or higher resolution, which cannot correct learned representation gaps.
- ✗
Increase the output resolution
Why it's wrong here
Higher resolution adds pixel detail but does not correct the model's learned facial structure, so distortion persists. It is tempting because resolution is a visible output setting, yet the defect stems from training data and architecture; fine-tuning on clear face images addresses the actual cause.
- ✗
Increase the number of inference steps
Why it's wrong here
More inference steps refine an existing latent trajectory but cannot correct a model that never learned accurate facial structure; they mainly sharpen detail and can even amplify distortion. It is tempting because step count genuinely governs sampling quality and convergence, and raising it is the right fix when outputs look noisy or under-resolved rather than anatomically wrong.
- ✗
Reduce the classifier-free guidance scale
Why it's wrong here
Lowering classifier-free guidance weakens prompt adherence, so faces drift further from the text description rather than gaining anatomical accuracy. It is tempting because guidance scale genuinely controls the creativity-fidelity trade-off, and reducing it is correct when outputs look over-saturated, contrasty or unnaturally rigid for a given prompt.
