✨ New Feature (04/07/2024): Added Describe with AI to the list of prompt options. You can now use AI to describe an image for prompting. Please read this section for more details.
Overview
Introducing the new Image Gen V2, an overhaul of our legacy image generation interface, designed to simplify the image generation process for all users. With Image Generation V2 comes new presets designed to aid you in achieving specific aesthetics with less effort.
About Image Gen V2
Presets: Image Gen V2 reduces the complexity of the image generation process with the introduction of Presets, which includes pre-defined combinations of models, styles and Elements and other parameters. These help users effortlessly achieve specific aesthetics while reducing the need for complex prompting.
In addition, you will be able to create and save your own presets for even more personalized workflows. (Coming Soon)Familiar tools: Image Gen V2 is an simplified experience but also has the same features users know and love integrated.
These include:Alchemy
Elements
Image Guidance
PhotoReal
Transparency
Streamlined workflows: Image Gen V2 simplifies the process of using Style Reference and Character Consistency placing it right into the prompt bar. Alongside that comes a new Image Guidance menu to better aid the user in selecting the mode they require.
The best of the best: To offer the best quality generations possible, Image Gen V2 uses only SDXL based models, which allows for higher resolution imagery and utilizes our best workflows.
Contrast: Image Gen V2 comes with a new Contrast setting, allowing you to choose between 3 different contrast options (Low-High).
Image Dimensions: Pick from several widely used resolution options. Alternatively you can choose how wide or tall your image should be and we will automatically optimize the resolution for the best output based on the model.
Benefits
Workflows simplified: Generating images with consistent characters or restyling an image has never been simpler. We have simplified and made Style, Character and Content Reference much more easily accessible.
Clean UI: Collapsable sidebars, style presets and simplified settings. Image Gen V2 allows you to focus on your images while keeping other things out of the way.
Settings
Settings for generating images can be found on the left sidebar. It is advisable to try out the various settings to get familiarized with the different options available to get the most out of the new Image Generation tool.
Preset:
This displays the current active preset, clicking on it will open the Presets library and display additional image options where you can select from one of several available presets and change settings.
Style:
Each preset comes with an selection of style presets which are tailored to various categories of imagery.Contrast:
Give your images intense contrast by changing the Contrast setting to High, or make things less harsh by switching it to Low.
Generation Mode:
Pick between Fast or Quality.Fast: Reduced generation time at the expense of quality and resolution limits. Not optimal for extreme aspect ratios.
Quality: Slower generation times, however image detail and quality is drastically improved. Excellent for extreme aspect ratios and higher resolution images.
Image Dimensions: Pick from 3 options in the sidebar or click on More to view additional Aspect Ratio and Image Resolution options.
Number of Images:
Select the number of images you would like to generate.
Privacy (Premium only):
Enable this option to generate images privately without them showing up in the public feed.
Advanced Settings:
Select the Model used to generate images, or toggle several options -PhotoReal - Enhances image aesthetics further.
Negative Prompt
Transparency - Generates images with alpha transparency
Tiling
Use Fixed Seed - This can be used to regenerate an generated image (if a similar prompt and settings is used)
In addition, Image Guidance (Style, Character, Content Reference etc.) and Elements can be found in the 
button in the left side of the prompt input.
Image Guidance: These allow you to use an reference image to influence the generated image in several ways. Please consult the Image Guidance guide for additional details on the various avaliable options.
Elements: These allow you to influence the style of the image. Up to 4 Elements can be mixed and matched to generate images of a unique style. Please consult the Elements guide for additional details.
You may also generate an Random Prompt, improve your existing prompt or edit the prompt by clicking on the 
button to the left of the Generate button and selecting the appropriate option.
Describe with AI
A useful feature that can be helpful in identifying visual elements such as a print style or fashion look in a existing image or just generally recreating an image that may resemble the sample image, Describe with AI essentially examines an provided image and suggests an prompt based on the image.
To use this feature, simply click on the button to the left of the Generate button and select Describe with AI, then upload or chose from an existing image. A generated prompt will appear after, which can be further modified if needed.
⚠️ Note:
As Describe with AI does not reverse engineer the original prompt used by a generated image nor select the best matching preset, model and Elements, it may be unable to recreate some images exactly.
Describe with AI may also be unable to properly recreate complex scenes, such as locations in specific cities nor recreate characters. In such cases, we recommend training an Element on them instead (coming soon).
Using Image Gen V2
Using Image Gen V2 is a fairly straightforward process if you are new to image generation.
Initiate: On the main app, click on Image Generation in the left sidebar.
Stylize: Select the Preset and Style that best suits the image you have in mind. (Note: You can scroll up/down the Style menu to view more available styles for the current preset.)
Size-up: Select your preferred Image Dimension and Number of Images.
Prompt: Enter your prompt, ensuring that you describe your image in visual terms as much as possible. Short prompts are excellent if you are just looking to generate an simple image.
Generate: Click on the Generate button to start the image generation process. Note that the button will display the cost of the generation job. (Refer to the counter on the center top of the page for your total token allowance)
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Image Gen V2 available for free users?
Image Gen V2 is available to all users.
The model I used to use is unavailable in Image Gen V2
As Image Gen V2 only utilizes SDXL models, you will have to switch back to Legacy Mode, which can be enabled on the top right corner of the page.
The quality of my images are poor
This could be due to several different factors. However you may do some checks on the follow to ensure your settings are as optimal as possible:
Reducing the strength of the Elements - Some models may require that the strength of Elements be reduced to get the best images possible.'
Using Quality for the Generation Mode - This vastly improves the image quality especially for higher resolutions.
Increasing the Image Size - Some models may work better with larger Image Sizes. Typically it is best to use Medium as a default.
Reduce the Contrast setting - High contrast setting may result in unwanted excessive darkening of your generated images.
