About Imagen 3
Imagen 3 is Google’s previous high-end model, and its strengths are lighting and texture — the kind of rich, believable surface detail that makes a still life or an interior feel real.
Imagen 4 is newer, but plenty of people still prefer Imagen 3’s particular look, and it stays dependable for detailed, lifelike scenes.
