How do you get past a protected-content (real face or copyrighted IP) block?
On Higgsfield: When Cinema Studio blocks a generation with "May contain protected content", remove anything that could be a real face or copyrighted material from the prompt and references. If your own original content is wrongly flagged, send support@higgsfield.ai the approximate time, the model and the prompt for a review.
Without Higgsfield: Describe the visual characteristics instead of naming a character, franchise or artist, such as "a hero in a red and blue suit with a web pattern" or "in a style with bold brushwork and vivid colors".
Axis: rework the input (original faces, no protected IP) … an approved likeness
