Dating Profile Photo — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"A candid dating-profile-style photo of an attractive, approachable woman (mid-20s to early-30s) with shoulder-length wavy brown hair, minimal makeup, wearing a simple white tee and light-wash jeans, holding a phone at arm’s length for a casual selfie while looking near the camera with a warm, genuine smile. She’s walking through a leafy city park path with soft golden-hour natural light, slightly wind-tousled hair, and a relaxed “just out for a walk” vibe—framed like a real Hinge/Bumble profile pic, not posed or editorial. Subtle background blur, realistic phone-camera perspective, natural skin texture and candid expression."

- Image-to-image support helps refine an existing photo style (pose, outfit, background) while staying closer to a reference

Verdict
If your goal is a single standout, premium-feeling dating profile hero shot—especially a sharp, flattering head-and-shoulders image—Flux Ultra 1.1 is typically the better fit thanks to its ultra-high detail and refined photorealism (at 16 credits per image).
