01Nano Banana example
When Pro is worth it: the same person in a new scene
The beach portrait was generated with Seedream 5.0 Pro. Given it as a character reference, Nano Banana Pro kept the woman recognisable at a home-studio desk. That is the job Pro is for; for a first draft or a batch of variations, Nano Banana 2 does it faster and for less.
Nano Banana Pro · Character reference
Reference: the beach portrait. Brief: the same woman seated at a wooden desk in a small home studio, soft lamp, shelves with travel gear.
Desk scene made in VlogMe Image Studio with Nano Banana Pro, using the Seedream 5.0 Pro portrait as the character reference. The form below opens Image Studio, where you choose Nano Banana 2 or Pro.

How do I access Nano Banana 2 + Pro?
