About Luma Photon Flash
Photon Flash is Luma Photon with the speed turned up. It keeps the same style-aware, art-directable character, just generates faster — which is the whole point when you’re exploring a dozen directions at once.
Use it to rough out options quickly, then move the keeper to standard Photon when you want the final to be properly polished.
At 1 credit it’s easy on the budget if you’re a creator pushing out a lot of images.
