Woman in white and pink robe wields a sword — AI art by @user_google_961350

This one is typical of those AI creations where everything is kind of close but not quite right (except, of course, that weird pile of crumpled flesh on the ground). The building in the background, too--I can see somebody in Japan building something like this in, say, the 1920s if they wanted a sturdy concrete building with a touch of Japanese flavor; but in the age of samurai?

Ok, aside by that weird crumpled dead? guy? And her hands, and her feet, and the way she holds her sword ... well that's a lot of asides. I liked the composition, the lighting, the colors and her outfit. Too bad about the rest. Minimax owns Hailuo which does good vids. But yeah, their images are about a year behind Nano, Seedream and others.

laughing. yeah, the age of samurai. anchronistic. It's a pity so many of Minimax images don't work (I've tried it a lot!). I quite like the vibe a lot of times; it often gives the slightly faded vintage color, good composition and an interesting picture but the faults are usually too great so most often I delete them.

if you end up using Flux, having time and you want to learn to improve contrast/saturation inside BP, I did a blog on it https://budgetpixel.com/blog/using-design-workspace-to-improve-contrastsaturation . If I already gave you the blog link, I apologize. My memory is bad so i don't remember what I've said before a lot of times.

Yeah, I like that warm color tone and vintage look of Minimax, too--one of the few things I like about it. To me GPT and Flux also lean more to that side with their color settings, and oftentimes it is quite desirable.

I find Flux a little flat but that's easy enough to change by adding a few things in the prompt or throwing he image into the designer space. I'm glad in the designer space, changing contrast/saturation or cropping is free. It's nice.

Thank you for the tutorial! I have been to the Design Workspace a couple of times before (totally by accident), and I had no idea what I was looking at. Your blog will be a great help!

CaylaCatz

cool! Yeah, I use it whenever I want to post a Flux image to fix that slightly flat color

Yet another thing I'll need to learn...
