Frequently asked questions
Should I start every image in Flux Fast?
Start there when the brief is still flexible. If exact reference fidelity is the first requirement, begin with Nano Banana Pro and a clean reference set instead.
How do I compare them fairly?
Keep the subject, composition, aspect ratio, and acceptance checklist fixed. Judge accepted outputs rather than raw generations, and include every rejected attempt in cost.
When should I switch to Nano Banana Pro?
Switch after the visual direction is approved or whenever identity, packaging, readable text, multiple references, or output above 1024px becomes a requirement.
