Google unveiled Nano Banana Pro, an AI image generator powered by Gemini, that delivers more realistic results than earlier models. The system embeds SynthID watermarks and adds C2PA metadata to help identify AI‑created images. Through the Gemini app, users can query whether an image was produced by Google’s AI. While AI Ultra subscribers receive the highest usage limits, visible watermarks are removed for them, though the underlying SynthID remains. The tiered offering aims to balance creative flexibility for professionals with tools for transparency and detection. Lire la suite

Early previews show cleaner lines, sharper angles, and fewer typical AI artifacts. Internally known as GEMPIX 2, Nano Banana 2 also appears in experimental tools like Whisk Labs, signaling Google’s broader push to embed creative AI across its ecosystem. Lire la suite

ChatGPT now lets users create and edit images directly within the chat interface without needing a paid subscription.

AI image generators can turn text into vivid visuals, but success depends on how the prompt is written. The core ingredients include describing the characters or objects, the setting, and the desired dimensions. Adding style cues—such as photorealistic, cartoon, or illustration—along with specific color palettes helps steer the output. Designers should also convey the overall aesthetic, vibe, or emotion to refine the mood. When results fall short, tweaking the prompt, adjusting dimensions, or using post‑generation editing tools are recommended strategies for improvement. Lire la suite
