# Generate with preset emotion
results = generator.generate_image(
    text_prompt="A mystical forest",
    style="digital painting",
    emotion_input="mysterious",
    emotion_type="preset",
    enhancement_strength=0.8,

## 📊 Understanding Emotion Analysis

Phase 2.C analyzes emotions across multiple dimensions:

### Emotion Detection
- **Primary Emotion**: Main detected emotion category
- **Confidence Score**: How certain the system is (0-1)
- **Secondary Emotions**: Related emotional states
- **Intensity Level**: Low, medium, or high emotional strength

### Sentiment Analysis
- **Polarity**: Negative (-1) to Positive (+1) sentiment
- **Subjectivity**: Objective (0) to Subjective (1) content
- **Keywords**: Emotion-related words detected in text
- **Emojis**: Emotional emojis found in input

### Artistic Mapping
- **Color Palette**: 3-5 colors representing the emotion
- **Artistic Descriptors**: Visual style words (vibrant, muted, etc.)
- **Mood Modifiers**: Atmospheric enhancements
- **Enhancement Tags**: Descriptive tags for the emotion

## 🎯 Tips for Best Results

### Emotion Selection Tips
1. **Be specific**: "melancholic" is more precise than "sad"
2. **Consider intensity**: Strong emotions create more dramatic art
3. **Match context**: Align emotions with your prompt's subject matter
4. **Experiment freely**: Try unexpected emotion-prompt combinations

### Prompt Enhancement Tips
1. **Start simple**: Let emotions enhance rather than complicate
2. **Trust the system**: Emotion analysis often captures nuances you might miss
3. **Adjust strength**: Use the enhancement slider to control emotional impact
4. **Combine thoughtfully**: Ensure emotions complement your artistic vision

### Style Coordination Tips
1. **Emotional styles**: Some styles naturally align with certain emotions
2. **Color harmony**: Consider how emotion colors work with your chosen style
3. **Atmospheric consistency**: Ensure mood modifiers enhance rather than conflict
4. **Intensity matching**: High-intensity emotions work well with bold styles

## 🔍 Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**"Emotion not detected"**
- Try more specific emotion words
- Use descriptive phrases instead of single words
- Check for typos in emotion input

**"Weak emotional enhancement"**
- Increase the enhancement strength slider
- Use more emotionally charged language
- Try preset emotions for stronger effects

**"Conflicting emotional signals"**
- Simplify your emotional input
- Focus on one primary emotion

### Performance Optimization
- Use preset emotions for fastest processing
