# 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](/content/ideogram-image-generation/#Aspect_Ratios/index.html)**: Specify the image dimensions (defaults to 1:1).
- **[Resolution](/content/ideogram-image-generation/#Resolution_Options/index.html)**: Select the quality and size of the image.
- **[Color Palette](/content/ideogram-image-generation/#Color_palettes/index.html)**: Set the mood and tone with predefined color schemes.
- **[Style Type](/content/ideogram-image-generation/#Style_Types/index.html)**: 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 <aspect_ratio>_”.

#### Resolution Options

Instead of aspect ratios, you can select one of the multiple available resolutions for more specific image sizes. Check the list below:
