Veteran photographer defends MiniMax H3: photographic realism isn't sharpness
cptdurr · reddit · 2026-11-14
A user with 20 years in photography and design pushes back on criticism that MiniMax H3 Image is 'too soft': real photos are never uniformly sharp — depth of field, motion blur, sensor noise, diffraction and lens rendering all shape the look, and a 50MP photo isn't automatically razor-sharp.
- He accepts that preferring sharper output is valid, but warns developers not to read the feedback as a universal demand for more sharpening and artificial microtexture
- He'd like future versions to improve anatomy, consistency, composition and prompt adherence while keeping H3's natural photographic rendering
- There are already plenty of models producing extremely sharp, polished AI imagery; losing one that approaches photography from a different direction would be a shame
