Google Gemini recently announced on its official Twitter account that the highly anticipated Imagen3 image generation feature is now available to all Gemini users worldwide. This significant update marks a major step forward for Google in the field of AI image generation, offering users more powerful and flexible creative tools.
As the latest version in the Imagen series, Imagen3 brings several notable improvements over its predecessor, Imagen2. According to Google's official introduction, these improvements are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Enhanced versatility: Imagen3 can better understand and execute complex image generation instructions.
Quick comprehension: The system can more rapidly capture user intentions, improving the efficiency of image generation.
Improved image quality: The generated images show significant enhancements in overall quality, including more natural lighting effects and more reasonable compositions.
Optimized text rendering: When images include text, Imagen3 can more accurately render the text content.
AIbase tested the feature and found it to be quite impressive, even simple prompts can result in decent poster designs with Imagen3.
If your prompts are detailed enough, it can even generate ultra-high-definition animal photography, delivering stunning results:
Google's official website emphasizes the exceptional performance of Imagen3: "Imagen3 can generate visually rich, high-quality images with good lighting and composition. It can accurately render small details, such as fine lines on a human hand, and complex textures, like a knitted stuffed elephant." This precise control over details undoubtedly opens up more possibilities for creators.
It is worth noting that while Imagen3 is available to all Gemini users, there are still some usage restrictions. Specifically:
Free account users can use the basic functions of Imagen3 but cannot generate human images.
Only users with Gemini Advanced, Business, or Enterprise versions can enjoy the full functionality, including human image generation.
For free users attempting to generate human images, the system will display a prompt: "Human image generation is only available in the early access of Gemini Advanced. Subscribe here to get early access to new Gemini features."
In fact, Google had already provided an early trial version of Imagen3 to Gemini Advanced, Business, and Enterprise users (English version) as early as May this year. This full release means that more users will have the opportunity to experience this advanced AI image generation technology.
This move not only showcases Google's continuous innovation in the AI field but also reflects the company's considerations in balancing technology openness and business strategies. By offering more features to advanced users, Google encourages upgrades while ensuring the accessibility of basic functions.
With the full rollout of Imagen3, we can expect to see more high-quality images created with AI assistance in various scenarios in the near future. This will not only provide new creative tools for designers, artists, and content creators but may also bring profound impacts to the traditional image creation industry.
