Is Ideogram Pro...Terrible?

Before you upgrade to the paid version of Ideogram V1.0 watch my tests. I test the Ideogram Image Editor, The Image Upload feature and then compare them to the remix feature you get with the free version of Ideogram.

The paid tiers should give you the image layers and fonts in PSD format.

Good day ; First question. When I type some text, the ideogram creates a completely different text for me. Why '' Second question: In our Latin alphabet there are letters Ć, Č;Š;Ž how can I use them or not. Thanks for the reply .

What about the "Download original quality PNGs"? How much better are they?

Editor needs work, but once I understood what I could use it for, I use the editor to remove things from my image like extra words or letters, then run it again and it works pretty good. I also really like the image upload feature, but needs more tools like a spot healing brush to erase parts of the image. Using the eyedropper to select colors then painting over things to replace them is not fun, but it works amazing sometimes, also crop or enlarge is cool. getting the right weight is not easy but a few runs and changes to the prompt can set amazing results.

It's clearly not a live generation tool or a tool to sketch out what you want, it's more of an editor to change some things in the image. I think with better brushes and removal features it's going to make slightly off images become perfect. I agree it was terrible at what you were trying to use it for, and they don't make it clear, so many will end up using the editor for things it was not made to do. I'm still playing around with upload and editor, but it's crazy fun to take a image (mostly using art), then getting some really cool effects with adding hand drawn text, like adding words by hand, then prompting like neon text or graffiti text...but you have to get the image weight just right, it's frustrating but trial and error you do get it right eventually. And you are right, you set weight to 4 and it still can ruin a face, even cartoon, but sometimes it's magical. For me it's worth upgrading but $20 is a little steep, but I'll give it a month or two to try it out fully.

Cracking up every time you say it’s being mean. Thank you!

Wow, I create mockups and I have been trying to narrow down something realistic, but will still create beautiful models. I was tempted to buy a month, you just saved me a lot of time!

Hot garbage, you nailed it...Just like Pika Labs, both are a $hltshow!

[waurbenyeger]

oof, that's rough. I just started getting in to this stuff with a1111. Ideogram looks amazing for text to image, but after seeing the dress thing it's shortcomings are on full display. Controlnet's Canny feature with the red dress prompt and inpaint to preserve the face in a1111 would get better results. The flip side is a1111 takes a massive L on text.

Hi, I'm also learning at the moment how to use Ideogram the right way. At the moment I'm learning about different Prompt Styles, but my limited English skill is pretty much hindering me at many points, I'm German.

But back to your Video, I think you misunderstood the purposes of a seed image, tools that you expected will come in future versions. I had a chat with a dev about a feature, where you can mark in the editor areas of a seed picture that should be keep and that what must be changed. The Controller bar, you set, to 5 out of 5 is just a Policy grade, How strong/heavy the AI should stay on the Seed Picture, It will not keep things original, it's just a guideline of the structure of a picture not of elements, like your face. It keeps just the structure.

Hope I could help you, to clarify this. Thank you for your Video, If you're interested, I open on their Discord Chanel a Topic where I want to find Out How to prompt correctly and structured to get the best results and to find the limitations.

I'm testing the same plan as you. I'm not too bothered with images of myself and I agree, the image upload and Editor are really low level. I am mostly enjoying the fast queue generation and interesting results. I have noticed even when you have a private space for generation, this tool is still NSFW censored, so if you are into that, sorry to disappoint you. It is great however for logo generations and image products creation. Overall, not worth the 20 USD as you can do that with the free plan.

Well, the questions I asked under your other vid don't matter now. I'll stick to the free version for text and logos. Between you and a comment from someone else here, it doesn't seem worth paying out for it and I'm patient enough to use the free plan. Thanks.

Dude... I would NOT say Ideogram aged you. All of those pics look younger than the guy I'm watching on this video.
