Strengths & Prompt-Writing Comparison

GPT Image 2.6

Looping animations and reaction stickersSeries featuring the same character or productIn-image Chinese text and layoutFocused edits that change one thing
For animations, break the motion into individual frames, state what stays still, and ask for the last frame to lead back to the first. For a series, start with a clean base image that has one checkable detail, then list what must not change. Use low complexity for small edits and high complexity for dense text and intricate layouts.

Z-Image Turbo

Bilingual Chinese-English text renderingPhotoreal portraits and scenesExtremely fast generationReliable instruction following
With so few sampling steps, specificity pays. Put the frame and the subject's position at the very front and the style description after, or it will treat the style as the subject.
