[So, as much as I don't want to clutter up the forum with multiple threads of my pictures, the fact that adding new posts to a thread I started won't bump the thread means nobody will ever see them.]
I've been on a kick with Nightcafe lately, and have been completely blown away by its version of Google's Imagen 3 (less censored than the official version). Not only do the images come out looking pretty realistic, they also stick really closely to the prompts, even to the point of using the colors I asked for on the correct person in a multi-person image. More often than not, when I describe multiple people, it actually keeps those descriptions separate. This has opened up a lot of options for me as I generally have a picture in my head I'm trying to create with the generators, and not having to create 100 pictures to get the one I wanted lets me move on to new ideas or variations.
That said, this isn't sustainable for me, as I don't have the funds to keep buying more credits
I've made over 2000 images with it so far over the last week. This post contains a selection from the following themes: - A bride on a muddy country road, interacting with a puddle in various ways - A young woman participating in a messy obstacle course (experimenting with consistancy of a character in a multi-image format) - Princesses engaging in a playful, messy fight with whipped cream at a gala (I got tired of almost-great images being ruined by a backwards pie, so I switched to "handful of whipped cream") - Brides and princesses smearing or dumping mud on each other at a wedding or ball that somehow took a messy turn - A continuation of variations on the "happy couple enjoying a quiet, romantic moment in the rain and mud" theme I had in my last post - Random footwear-related images
My favorite image from this post is by far the happy bride with green streaks in her black hair, lying in the puddle wearing the white wedding dress with blue trim and those amazing heels. That's a perfect example of Imagen 3 correctly placing the colors I asked for.

One thing I immediately took notice of from your images was how much better Nightcafe does with background people in photos compared to Bing.
Every time I try to do an image with more than 2 people in Bing, I get troll faces and the whole image is ruined so these "party" photos are particularly impressive!

I'm really loving how Imagen 3 makes the background characters more realistic. I'm having trouble accessing my Google account and I don't like creating throwaway accounts, so I haven't been able to test out the free version of Imagen 3 through Google's site.
Nightcafe was one of the less-censored sites at the beginning (although its version of DALL-E 3 is still pretty censored and newer versions of its generators seem to ignore the wet/messy parts of prompts), and I've been able to use words and phrases in Imagen 3 on there that would get auto-blocked on Bing, but I have a feeling the official version of Imagen 3 is more censored.
The biggest downside of Nightcafe is how easy it is to blow through credits though, and it's not free like Bing.
