About Imagen 4
Imagen 4 is the top of Google’s line, and it shows most in the photorealistic stuff — skin, light, the way a scene actually sits together. For convincing, lifelike images it’s right at the front of the pack.
It also reads complicated prompts carefully, so the details you ask for tend to actually appear. Alongside FLUX 1.1 Pro, it’s one of the two I’d trust for finished work.
