Generation Settings & Parameters

Understanding generation settings helps you optimize your image creation workflow. This guide covers output formats, quality settings, and generation parameters in Gemini Photo AI.

Output Format Options

JPEG Format

Gemini Photo AI generates images in JPEG format, which offers:

• Universal Compatibility: Works with all devices and software
• Optimized File Size: Efficient compression for web and storage
• High Quality: Professional-grade output suitable for most uses
• Fast Loading: Quick to download and share

Why JPEG?

• Best balance of quality and file size
• Widely supported across platforms
• Suitable for web, print, and digital use
• Efficient storage and sharing

Quality Settings

Default Quality

Images are generated at high quality by default, suitable for:

• Web use and social media
• Print at standard sizes
• Professional presentations
• General creative projects

Optimizing Quality in Prompts

While there aren't separate quality sliders, you can influence quality through your prompts:

Quality Modifiers:

• high quality - Better overall quality
• detailed - More intricate details
• sharp focus - Clearer, crisper image
• professional - Professional-grade output
• 4K or 8K - High resolution reference
• masterpiece - Highest quality setting

Example:

A landscape, photorealistic, high quality, detailed, sharp focus, professional

Generation Parameters

Number of Images

Currently, Gemini Photo AI generates one image per prompt. This allows for:

• Focused, high-quality output
• Faster generation times
• Efficient resource usage

Generation Time

Typical generation times:

• Simple Prompts: 10-15 seconds
• Medium Complexity: 15-25 seconds
• Complex Scenes: 25-30 seconds

Factors Affecting Speed:

• Prompt complexity
• Server load
• Image detail level
• Network connection

Understanding Generation Time

What Happens During Generation:

1. Prompt processing and interpretation
2. AI model computation
3. Image rendering
4. Quality optimization
5. Final output preparation

Progress Indicators:

• Percentage complete
• Status messages
• Estimated time remaining

Retry and Regeneration

Regenerating Images

If you're not satisfied with a result:

1. Keep the Same Prompt: Click "Generate Again" for a new variation
2. Modify the Prompt: Adjust your description and regenerate
3. Use Prompt Enhancer: Optimize your prompt first, then regenerate

Why Regenerate?

• Variations: Same prompt can produce different results
• Refinement: Iterate to get closer to your vision
• Experimentation: Try different approaches
• Quality Improvement: Sometimes second attempts are better

Regeneration Best Practices

• Don't give up after one attempt
• Try 2-3 variations before major changes
• Small prompt tweaks can make big differences
• Use regeneration as part of your workflow

Understanding Generation Results
