With a new focus on character consistency, Gemini’s photo editing just got a lot more useful.
Usually, trying to get an AI image generator to create a consistent character across multiple pictures has been a bit of a mess. You get a great headshot, ask the AI to put that same person on a beach, and suddenly they have a different nose and a new set of teeth. While tools like ChatGPT with DALL-E 3 are incredibly powerful for one-off creations, this lack of consistency has been a major roadblock for anyone wanting to do more than just generate a single, static image.
Well, it looks like Google is taking direct aim at this problem. In a new update to the Gemini app, they’ve integrated a brand-new image editing model from their DeepMind team. Dubbed « nano banana », this image editing model’s main selling point is something everyone has been asking for: keeping you looking like you.
The new feature allows you to upload a photo of yourself, a friend, or even your pet, and then make wild edits without losing the subject’s core likeness.
