• 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

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

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
