This release targets product recontextualization, mask- and ink-based editing, and factuality. Product recontextualization places an existing product in a new scene. Mask- and ink-based edits change only the region marked by a mask or by strokes drawn on the image. Factuality is how accurately images depict real-world subjects.
The model renders photorealistic skin tones, intricate materials, sharp lighting, and coherent backgrounds at the latency and cost of a Flash-tier model.
