Nano Banana can be frustrating at times. Yesterday I tried to get it to do several edits to an image, and it would return back pretty much the same photo.
Things like: Convert the people to clay figures similar to what one would see in a claymation.
And it would think it did it, but I could not perceive any change.
After several attempts, I added "Make the person 10 years younger". Suddenly it made a clay figure of the person.
The first request is a style transfer, which is why I included the Ghibli failure example.
I've gotten it to make Ghibli transfers by responding to the initial attempt with "I can barely tell the difference. Make the effect STRONGER."
In my experience, once it starts interpreting your request incorrectly, you're better off starting with fresh context.
