Anybody else lukewarm on Bloom?

I’ve tried my free images to see if I could get more realistic face and hair texture on character renders from MJ 7. The results made me decide not to subscribe. Bloom changed the facial structure of characters enough that the resulting images couldn’t pass for the same person. I tried to use the prompt to get facial structure closer to what I wanted for the character, but I saw no evidence that the prompts made any difference whatsoever. So, not worth another subscription fee for me.

I use Bloom with subtle 8 X to preserve the face then I use medium creativity for more clarity. It helps keep the face original. If you use Subtle Creativity first then New at medium I works very well.
