I ran a 'bake off' to see how much image quality changes across the five quality settings of OpenAI's GPT Image 2.5.
Each setting was asked to draw the same watch.
The difference only shows up when you zoom in on the dial, and the price runs from $0.09 an image at Low to $0.59 at Max, about six times more.
My recommendation is to pay for High when the product is a big close-up.
And use Low for everything else. Inside a normal Meta/Facebook Ad, Low and Max look similar.
Experimented a bit today with Krea and image generation for a case study I’m putting together around AI EarPods connected to OpenAI.
The focus has been on creating fashion-forward product imagery and art directing a world that feels specific to the identity, rather than just generating nice-looking AI images.
The trickiest part has been product consistency. Especially getting the EarPods to actually sit snug in the ear. If you’ve worked through this process, you probably know the struggle 😅
Simply telling AI to “make it fit more snug or in the ear” doesn’t always work. It loves to reinterpret the product every time.
Still experimenting, but getting closer. If anyone has found a good workflow for keeping products consistent across AI-generated shoots, I’d love to hear it!
