A new page to generate your thumbnails
The generation page has been redesigned around one simple idea: everything happens in the same place. You write, generate, compare and start again from the best result without leaving the page.The composer on top
- The source thumbnail on the left
- The prompt in the center, the largest element on the page
- Options folded away: mode, lighting, title, negative prompt…
- A choice of 1 to 4 variations, then Generate with the cost shown
Every attempt below
Each generation stays listed under the composer, with its prompt, status and images. Large or grid view, Favorites filter: you find any attempt without searching. Full screen browses every thumbnail of every run, with the run's prompt at the bottom of the screen.A result becomes the source
Like a result? Use as source, or drag the tile onto the source thumbnail: it becomes the starting point of the next attempt. Each card also has Reuse this run, Regenerate and Download all.The right method: one variation to validate the idea, then three or four to choose, then iterate from the winner.
