Reference-Guided Editing with 10 Anchors
Upload up to 10 reference images and direct the edit in text — the model locks facial features, brand elements, and stylistic details across every variation. Perfect for brand campaigns, character design, and product photography where identity must stay consistent. Iterating with references costs a fraction of reshooting — refine the look without a new photo session.

Tiered Resolution for Draft-to-Final Workflow
Start at 1K to test prompts and references at 14 credits, then switch to 2K at 27 credits for the final render when the result needs to hold up at full size or in print. The 1K tier lets you run multiple variations without overspending. The 2K tier delivers higher-detail output for client deliverables and large-format use.
