Ideogram: Next level Image Generation
Straico has offered a variety of options for image generation, from dedicated sections (powered by Stable Diffusion) to specialized templates (powered by DALL-E 3 and Flux).
However, we want to take a step forward…
Maybe you’re familiar with “Web browsing” in Straico. This feature is part of the so-called capabilities, which enrich the prompt responses with information retrieved from external platforms. Well, we now provide new capabilities related to image generation and edition, so that you can create images directly in Straico’s chat section.
This, as simple as it sounds, provides some advantages compared to the previous approaches:
- Image generation capability is context-aware. You can generate new images based or inspired in the previously generated ones.
- You can use attached images as inspiration for generating new images.
- You can — even not directly — specify some parameters in the prompt, such as aspect ratio and resolution of the image.
This blog post is precisely dedicated to make you aware of all the customization that you can set in your prompts for using all the image-related capabilities.
Before starting
Click on the bulb-icon on the right-hand side of the prompt space: this will open the capability selector:
Make sure that the following capabilities are active in your capability selector:
- Image generation (Ideogram v2.0)
- Image remix (Ideogram v2.0)
- Image upscale (Ideogram v2.0)
Generate
In order to generate an image using the capability, simply write a prompt with the magic words "generate an image…" followed by the description of what you want to generate.
For example, "generate an image of a flying cow."
However, you can set more specific prompts to customize the image, such as:
Parameters
- Aspect Ratio: Specify the image dimensions (defaults to 1:1).
- Resolution: Select the quality and size of the image.
- Color Palette: Set the mood and tone with predefined color schemes.
- Style Type: Apply specific styles for more artistic output.
IMPORTANT: you cannot specify aspect ratio and resolution as parameters in the same prompt.
Aspect Ratios
This parameter can help to set a variety of ratios depending on the context that you need your image.
Sample prompt: “ generate an image of a flying cow in
”.
Resolution Options
Instead of aspect ratios, you can select one of the multiple available resolutions for more specific image sizes. Check the list below:
