Nano banana is Gemini 2.5 flash with the image model.
It says:
I do not have the ability to directly edit, modify, or restore images that you upload
😢
And then goes on further to say:
I cannot directly use an uploaded image as a source to “regenerate” a cleaner version. My function is to create new images from scratch based on a text description you provide, not to edit or restore existing ones.
You can simply ask in other words and it works
@@aisamsonrealno I tried plenty 😢 is it only in the paid account?
I provided three reference images and prompted an output that clearly used the images. When I tried to repeat the process, the AI claimed to be incapable of using reference images. This turned into a pointless argument where it repeatedly told me I was mistaken. Basically the same responses you got.
Try using it in google studio it works even better there in some ways
Haveing same problem.
My first try it told me “I’m just a language model and can’t help with that.” Which was nonsense becuase I had it on image mode.
And here’s its response to me second try. “I am unable to transform the person in the image into a woman. I cannot make edits that change a person’s perceived gender.”
These are exciting times for creators, just keeps getting better!😊
I made a really slow Genie 3 world model using the Gemini app builder and nano banana. It’s like a point and click game. It only took a few minutes!
So you would upload a picture of a room or maybe a street view of a town, You select “move” “look at” or “action”, you then click somewhere on the image, and it sends that image with the area you touched, highlighted, over to image recognition, which then reports back what and where you clicked on, which is then turned into a prompt that sent to nano banana instructing it to adjust the image to show either this new point of view or something happening.
You can walk around town and open doors and go inside.
Wait that sounds sick!! What code did you use?👀
Cool idea. Not a “world model” though unless you can turn a full circle and the end result is indistinguishable from the original.
@@M-sea432Hz I just used the app builder In google AI studio. I don’t know what language it uses
@@brexitgreens you could probably implement some kind of memory by having it reference older photos.
Reminds me of the scene in Blade Runner – would be amazing to see that scene reproduced using Nano Banana.
To save some time, at 3:26, instead of saving then uploading the reference image, you just copy image (right click copy or command or control + c) then paste it into google ai studio. Much faster workflow if you don’t need the reference image saved.
You can actually do that directly in the app or on the web page as well Just paste your image that you copied into the context box.
People keep saying Nano Banana “killed Photoshop,” and I suppose that’s the intended video “HOOK”. Not really. Yeah, the results look amazing on screen, but for print or serious design work it falls short. The image size limit means you can’t get the big, clean files you need for posters, packaging, etc. even with Photoshop Neural Filters and super zoom. AI images always carry a certain grit/texture because of how they’re processed, fine for a phone screen, not great when blown up. Photoshop still wins on precision: exact colors, vectors, layers, and pixel-level control that AI just doesn’t give you. AI is an awesome tool for concepts and speed, but it’s not a Photoshop killer, more like a sidekick. But I understand, it is a matter of time when it will produce 300,600 or 1200 dpi and far more control. As of RIGHT NOW, not there yet.
yes your right i mean ai can’t take over anything that require professional workers ai is only take over the commons and entry level things. Most people will use this over photoshop for minor things or maybe some higher end projects also like commercials for close in shots.
That’s where you engage the image upscaling Ai tools..you can get high resolution images in 8K or 16K images. But most of them are paid. Ai has really gone 🍌
Yeah, aaand they will fix that too. Remember when ai couldnt do hands.
@@damilarelrHypir is great Upscaling tool
I agree.😂
Just uploaded a selfie and had it clean up my hair style and put me into a nice gray suit for a professional linkedin profile image. What would have taken me hours of work took about 10 minutes. Love this technology!
If it’s not too much trouble can you please share what prompt did you exactly use?
It’s great! You got a profile picture that is not really you but who cares. Meanwhile the photoshop guy is on the dole and the entire industry is in shamble. Now multiply this by industry (accountants, lawyers, financial advisors, chemist, doctors, architects, engineers etc and you get a lot of free profile pic on Linkedin but no so much jobs….
Sure.
Prompt 1: Please put the man in the attached image in a professional light gray suit with a solid light blue tie.
Prompt 2: Very good. Now please make his hair look more professional with a businessman Cary Grant style haircut.
Prompt 3: great job! Now please change the background to a professional portrait background
That’s it. Very simple prompts
@@positivelydarkyou do understand that you are speaking to a computer chip and don’t need to be polite? 😂
@@artivan111 I have seen all the Terminator movies and I am not taking any chances. 😁
I’ll “forget Photoshop” when Gemini can generate an image with the same high resolution as the original photo submitted to it for editing. I’ll wait.
Upscale the image
@@TUSHARGOPALKA-nj7jx Eish. No. I haven’t found one that’s really great. They have a weird way of reading information into areas that just doesn’t make sense. As a photographer working with 5000px+ images AI upscaling from something less than 2000px looks sloppy.
I would say they will make it available but it will probably cost extra. After all, it’s all about capitalism 🙄
why? you’ll print them?
Have you heard of upscaling? Lol.
I’m just familiarizing myself with AI Image Generation tools, and so far I’m loving it. I can see all kinds of fun, creative and practical applications. That said, it’s still a long ways away from replacing photoshop. A very long ways, frankly. For small images that don’t require explicit details, it’s great. But I’m working with large images where detail and accuracy are critical – and the AI doesn’t quite cut it for those applications. Not yet anyway.
If that photo of your great-grandfather is from 120 years ago, and he looks to be at least 40 in that photo, that means the men in your family waited a looong time to have kids. 😂
“I am unable to transform the person in the image into a woman. I cannot make edits that change a person’s perceived gender.”
Why is it saying this?
Holy crap man, ive been battling for nearly a year to create a CONSISTENT AI influencer for free and as easy as possible. You just made me realize Nano is the tool i been praying for. Mind blown🤯
AMEN
Everyone says “Forget Photoshop,” but that’s nonsense. These generators only handle tiny images. Photoshop is for pros working with 8000–9000px raws straight from the camera. Generators are just toys for making pretty candy-wrapper pictures.
All the people complaining about low res output – buy the damn upscaler. Nano Banana is a gift from the gods
I have tried Nano B and generally find 90 times out of 100 it doesn’t return an image, asked it to map my face to Mount Rushmore, can’t or won’t do that, asked it to make me be driving a Ferrari, can’t do that, the asked it to replace the background of a picture to that of a kung fu tournament – can’t do that.. when it works it’s fine but getting it to work is hard work
Everyone’s hyped about AI tools like Nano Banana replacing Photoshop, but Selwyn Raithe warned in his book that these “fun shortcuts” are just the bait. What comes next isn’t just convenience, it’s dependency. Once the switch flips, you won’t own your creativity, your tools, or even your ideas. I’m shocked more people aren’t reading his book while it’s still out there.
I’ve always been surprised that so many people enjoy influencers, but an artificial influencer?! What’s wrong with people?
They’re the future…it’s actually a good thing. Most people won’t see that for 20-30 years from now.
You’re just figuring out that humans are stupid?
How is an artificial influencer any different from a YouTube or Instagram influencer? To the person scrolling on their phone, they’re both just pixels on the screen.
they are basically very stupid
What i find weird, is that the site seems to be promoting itself for the creators. I think most other sites focus on the consumers
One I tried (and I’ve seen even cleverer uses than this one I came up with) was to describe a kitchen that I wanted it to give me an image of. It got absolutely everything spot on in terms of design but I wanted a specific shape to the room and for it to be photographed from a specific angle so I give it a plan view drawing of the kitchen I wanted with lengths on the walls and so on and then placed a simple arrow pointing the direction the camera should be looking from.
I asked it to make me a kitchen using that plan drawing but I DIDN’T ask it what style to make the kitchen as I forgot to do so.
It made the kitchen in the exact style and with the exact fixtures and fittings it had put into the original and took the shot from the exact precise angle I wanted it to do so!
Colour me impressed!
I’ve also seen people have a photo of someone and provide it with a stick figure of a person in some weird pose and they’ve applied that pose to the person.
The uses for this sort of technology are quite simply endless.
1:24 love Gemini’s response to your first request! “I can’t edit images, but I can help you find out how to do it yourself. What are the best methods for changing a photo’s time of day to night, and what software is available to make that kind of edit”. Genius!
It’s a bug that happens from time to time, nothing genius about it
There are gonna be a lot of very disappointed Tinder users now
