I read the hype the past week and gave it a try - Mind blown!
Google has created, IMHO, a revolution in image generation. This is a real inflection point in showing the power, and potential danger, of AI based image manipulation.
It is so powerful, Adobe has added it as a model choice in Firefly, which until now, they’ve been developing on their own.
I can’t post a quick photo that will do this tool justice. I suggest you Google for YouTube videos or try it yourself.
I need to add - I’ve been having a ton of luck with modifying, not generating photos.
Upload a photo of your own and use text prompts to modify it.
I can do a lot of Photoshop-ish things much faster and easier, and other things I still have yet to master in Photoshop.
Key thing to try: Upload multiple photos and use text prompts to tell nano banana to make composite image taking things from one photo to put in the other.
(Technical: Harmonizing light, color, and focus is the challenge in compositing. With AI tools, no need to mess with color balance, color grading, depth maps, and other traditional tools to make it look like it wasn’t cut and pasted like a ransome note.)
I can agree it’s very good indeed, to the point that they’ve created their own micro product around it: https://nanobanana.ai independent of AI Studio.
