HANDS · LOCAL POSE EDIT
Change the arms, not the whole frame
A local instruction is easier to control. Start with arm and hand placement, then adjust other parts of the pose only if needed.
QUALITY CHECK
What to inspect
The bend should remain anatomically natural.
Elbow placement must agree with shoulder and forearm.

FAQ
Questions about this pose
What does Hand Pose change?
This workflow locally repositions the arms and hands: lower, raise, cross, place them in pockets, or make a gesture look more natural.
Do the hands need to be visible?
Preferably. Clear wrists, hands, and elbows give the AI better information about the starting anatomy and movement direction.
Can this fix extra fingers?
Hand Pose is primarily for arm and hand positioning. If the problem is an AI artifact such as extra fingers, use a photo-fix workflow instead.
Will the rest of the pose change?
The goal is to preserve the torso, face, outfit, and scene as closely as possible while mainly changing the arms.
What should I check after generation?
Zoom into the hands and inspect finger count, wrists, elbows, contact with clothing, and any unnatural intersections.
Can I keep editing the result?
Yes. Once the gesture looks right, open the image in Editor and continue with other tools.
