Load InsightFace (PuLID Flux) Common Errors and Solutions:

Warning: No face detected in image <image_index>

• Explanation: This warning indicates that the InsightFace model was unable to detect any faces in the specified image. This could be due to the image quality, lighting conditions, or the orientation of the faces.
• Solution: Ensure that the images are clear, well-lit, and that faces are prominently visible. You may also try adjusting the image resolution or preprocessing the images to enhance facial features before analysis.

Model loading failure

• Explanation: This error occurs when the InsightFace model fails to load, possibly due to incorrect file paths or missing model files.
• Solution: Verify that the model files are correctly placed in the specified directory and that the file paths are accurate. Ensure that all necessary dependencies and libraries are installed and up to date.
