How do I use Soul to generate images?

Higgsfield's help article walks through the Soul image family: Soul for quick preset-driven images, Soul 2.0 for combining sources, and Soul Cinema for a cinematic look. Soul 2.0 can mix a prompt, a preset or Moodboard, a Soul ID character and a Soul HEX palette in one generation; attaching a reference image disables the prompt but still allows a character and palette. For a Moodboard, Higgsfield advises 20 or more sharp images in one consistent style, without faces.
