Image generation improved faster than almost any other AI category, and the skill needed to use it well changed just as fast. What worked as a prompt a year ago now produces dated-looking output.
This category is where members share what currently works. Threads cover prompting technique, holding a consistent style across a set of images, reference and control methods, upscaling and cleanup, and the point at which it is faster to fix something manually than to reroll it.
The practical questions matter as much as the creative ones. Commercial licensing differs sharply between tools and is often misunderstood. Brand work demands consistency that general models resist. Client work raises disclosure questions that have no settled answer yet.
Design tool discussion belongs here whether the tool is a dedicated generator or an AI feature inside software you already use. See the AI design and image tools directory for reviewed options, or Video & Animation if the output moves.
