🍌 Pro.
The new nano-banana-pro is... bananas.
The new best AI to generate images.
Yes, it's better than ChatGPT.
Google released “nano-banana-pro” right inside Gemini.
Here’s how to access it & my favorite case studies.
How to access “nano-banana-pro”
Three simple steps:
Go to Gemini.
Click on “Tools” + “Create images”.
Or simply click at the top on “Try it”.
Why is it so good?
We call it SOTA = State-of-the-art = The best at [X].
From my first vibe check, Gemini is now SOTA on:
Making the most realistic pictures.
Being the best for adding text to an image.
Being the best for editing images (like Photoshop).
Here are my favorite case studies:
1 - Change your hairstyle.
Prompt: “change my hairstyle to [source]”
2 - Restore old photos.
Prompt: “restore this old photo with today's realistic colors“
3 - Create a magazine.
Prompt: “Put this whole text, verbatim, into a photo of a glossy magazine article on a desk, with photos, beautiful typography design, pull quotes and brave formatting. The text: [...the unformatted article]”.
4 - Add puppies (from
).Prompt: “Add 16–20 bichon frises, bright white fluffy coats, small round ears, black noses. Distribute them along the sidewalk and curb at varying depths so it looks real. A few near the sitting bench, a few crossing the curb. Keep scale toy-size. Keep subject in a white outfit with sandals and white cloth unchanged. Crisp, editorial look. Negative/avoid: no gray/muddy fur, no clipping through curbs, no dogs in the room, no occlusion of the subject’s torso or face.”
Just so you know, this case study went extremely viral.
5 - Edit this specific part.
Prompt: “change X on right/left with Y”
6 - Wikipedia article to infographic.
Prompt: “Make an infographic of this person’s life based on this article: [Wikipedia Page]”
7 - Change the color of anything.
Prompt: “Recolor this picture with [x] colors from [source].”
8 - Create an action figure of me.
Prompt: “Create an image of my own custom figurine when I was at an F1 race.”
9 - Blurred photo to ultra sharp:
Prompt: “Take the provided blurred photo and transform it into an ultra-sharp, realistic editorial shot without changing the composition or objects.”
10 - Weird mundane picture:
Prompt: “The most weird mundane photo you can imagine.”
11 - Picture hand drew on whiteboard (from X):
