I used to use bing as well but then I discovered google whisk which is far superior and a lot less filters and also no character limit to describe the scene so much easier to do multiple people as well. Just a few examples of some of my creations
Gemini used to be great before Google decided to switch to their much worse "Nano Banana" or "Gemini 2.5 Flash" model, unfortunately with strict filters, less realism (still better than Bing however), low resolution and square pictures only - just like in the very beginnings of AI picture generation.
You could still try Google AI studio, where you still can select Imagen 4 for creation instead of the much worse However, unfortunately it also has much more strict filtering than Gemini with the older model used to have.
That's why I also cancelled my subscription, along with all the other downsides I mentioned.
You may also use Whisk or flow with your AI Pro subscription, but only with a very limited amount of credits compared to the virtual unlimited (image) creations that were possible with Gemini. Too bad!
Hopefully they'll bring back Imagen for creation some day. The image button still says "create images with Imagen" but unfortunately that's a lie. They seem to have been switching back and forth for a wile, my second (free) account was able to use the better model while the paid one didn't, then for some time it worked again on both. But now they seem to have to restricted both to the new model.
@Bobographer: I hope you don't get this wrong. Gemini is not completely bad, it just was better before and that's frustrating. It can, however, still do some pretty nice wetlook, depending on what you like to see and if you don't mind the lower resolution. Here are some examples with the recent model which I think turned out very nice:
You can also try to enhance the images with an AI upscaler like upscayl (upscayl.org), which usually works well, but sometimes not, as can be seen here with the woman and her dress
Actually, Gemini still is not THAT bad. It's just worse than it has been before with the latest model. By reworking some of my older prompts (from when it used an older model and even stricter filters than now) I was able to get some really nice results, leaving the low resolution and square images on the downside. And it can't do wet jeans very good, which is too bad since I love that.
Gemini is also still very good in doing partial wetness, something many other AIs tend to struggle with.
Love you, too
