Comparison Mode
Why It Matters
When you're creating lifestyle images for clients, the product details have to be perfect. One mismatched logo or wrong color tone can kill a $5,000 project. Comparison Mode lets you verify pixel-perfect accuracy before delivery.
The bottom line: Compare your original product photo side-by-side with the AI-generated result at full resolution—so you never ship work with product inconsistencies.
How It Works
The setup: Upload your product as an ingredient, generate your lifestyle scene, then verify the likeness.
Entering Comparison Mode:
Open your ingredients panel (click the ingredients icon in the header)
Hover over any ingredient thumbnail—the compare button appears in the bottom-left corner
Click the Scale icon to enter Comparison Mode
What happens:
Your screen splits 50/50: generated image on the left, original ingredient at full resolution on the right
The chat area temporarily hides to maximize your comparison space
The panel header shows "COMPARISON MODE" with an exit button
Exiting: Click "Exit Compare Mode" in the header to return to normal view.
Perfect for Freelancers
The scenario: A client hires you to create a lifestyle shot of their Nike Air Max shoes for their e-commerce store.
Your workflow:
Upload the product photo as an ingredient
Generate: "Nike Air Max on urban street, golden hour lighting"
Enter Comparison Mode
Verify the swoosh placement, lace pattern, sole design, and color match the original
Exit if perfect, or regenerate with adjusted prompts if the likeness is off
Why this saves you: Clients don't pay for "close enough"—they pay for accurate product representation. Comparison Mode catches inconsistencies before you submit.
Brand Consistency Check
Another use: Verifying logos and branded elements match brand guidelines.
Upload a brand logo as an ingredient, generate your marketing visual, then enter Comparison Mode to confirm the logo clarity, colors, and proportions are faithful to the original.

Questions?
"Can I compare two generated images?" Not yet. Currently you can only compare an original ingredient with a generated result. For comparing variations, use the grid view in the preview area.
"Why does it hide the chat?" To give you maximum screen space for comparison. The chat area comes back when you exit Comparison Mode.
"Does this work on mobile?" No. The ingredients panel is desktop-only due to screen size constraints.
