This is the gpt 4 moment for image editing models. Nano banana aka gemini 2.5 flash is insanely good. It made a 171 elo point jump in lmarena!

Just search nano banana on Twitter to see the crazy results. An example. https://x.com/D_studioproject/status/1958019251178267111

I've been testing it for several weeks. It can produce results that are truly epic, but it's still a case of rerolling the prompt a dozen times to get an image you can use. It's not God. It's definitely an enormous step though, and totally SOTA.

If you compare to the amount of effort required in Photoshop to achieve the same results, still a vast improvement

I work in Photoshop all day, and I 100% agree. Also, I just retried a task that wouldn't work last night on nano-banana and it worked first time on the released model, so I'm wondering if there were some changes to the released version?

We had an exhibition some time back where I used AI to generate the posters for our product. This is a side project and not something we do seriously, but the results were outstanding - better than what the majority of much bigger exhibitors had.

It took me a LOT of time to get things right, but if I was to get an actual studio to make those images, it would have cost me a thousands of dollars

Yeah, played around with it, it created an amazing poster for starfinder ttrpg ( something like DND) with specifies who looked really! Good. Usually stuff likes this fails hard, since there isn't much training data of unique fantasy creatures.

But flash 2.5? Worked! It did it, crazy stuff
