# AI image generators: choose a model for your task

Creating from scratch, editing a photograph and enlarging a finished file need different tools. Decide what must remain unchanged and what the final piece will be: a poster, product shot, portrait or illustration.

## How to choose

For your own photos, compare GPT Image, Nano Banana and Seedream. Check reference limits and compatibility between resolution and aspect ratio.

For visual exploration from text, consider Midjourney. For lettering, supply exact wording and check every character; generation does not replace brand review.

Enlarging a selected file is a separate job for Topaz Image. Fix composition, faces and lettering before scaling the finished image.

## FAQ

How do creation and editing differ?

Creation builds a scene from a description. Editing uses uploaded material, but does not guarantee preservation of every untouched detail.

Are more references always useful?

No. Each file should add relevant information rather than contradict the others about appearance, clothing or light.

Why does Pro not always mean 4K?

It is a version name, not a shared resolution scale. Seedream 5.0 Pro and Lite, for example, offer different settings.
