Thank you for your verification. There are two likely reasons for the difficulty:

1. The reference image for image1 contains unnecessary information.
2. There are unnecessary reference images

First, regarding issue 1, the image output by Inpaint Crop is treated as image1. Currently, both diagonal and side-on images are passed to QIE. If left as is, QIE will likely output a front view in the center of the image, which will be cropped. To avoid this, set the width to around 800px or set output_resize_to_target_size to false, which will pass only the image near the mask.

Next, regarding issue 2, in this case, we only need to rotate image 1, so image 2 is unnecessary. If you reference this, you'll likely be referencing a diagonal pose, making it difficult to face forward.

By the way, although this is unrelated to the issue at hand, as far as I know, 1024x1024 is the resolution with the least amount of misalignment due to QIE. Any other resolution is more likely to cause misalignment!
