Strengths & Prompt-Writing Comparison

GPT Image 1.5

Preserving faces and logos through editsRendering dense in-image textPhotographic texture and material feelFollowing long, paragraph-length instructions
It responds to a complete scene description: state the frame, camera position, lighting and materials in separate sentences instead of piling on style words. When editing, say explicitly "change only X, leave everything else as is" — that is where its preservation strength shows.

HiDream I1

Photoreal and illustration alikeFast generationOpen-source, self-hostable and tunableConcept boards and batch drafts
It reads structured descriptions well — write subject, environment, lighting and style as separate clauses. Keep style words to two or three; stack more and they fight each other.
