Generate Images

Turn a text prompt into images — model, ratio, references, and a full detail viewer, all in one page.

WHEN TO USE

Quick standalone images: concept art, style tests, references — no project setup needed.

PAIRS WELL WITH

Tools (refine the result), Canvas (bring images into a node workflow).

💡 Open any record's detail view and hit Copy on the prompt — the fastest way to iterate on a look you like.

The Image workspace (sidebar → Image) is the fastest way from words to pictures: one composer, your whole generation history above it, and folders that keep every project's media tidy.

Image workspace

1. Write a prompt

Describe the image in the composer. Mention composition, lighting, and style for stronger results. Use the buttons on the left to attach up to 16 reference images, and the controls below to pick the model (e.g. GPT Image 2), aspect ratio, and prompt enhance.

Attach references — and @mention them in the prompt

The composer takes up to 16 attached files (the Images chip on the left). And here is the power move: type @ in your prompt and pick an attachment to mention it by name — the model then knows exactly which file you mean.

Mentioning an attached reference with @

"design character sheet for @Tony.png" — one attachment, one mention, and the generation is locked onto that exact character. The same attach-and-mention pattern works on the Video and Audio pages too.

2. Generate

Press the gold Generate button (it shows the point cost, e.g. 0.3 pt). The new card appears in your history while it renders.

Generation in progress

Generation settings

The ratio chip next to the model (e.g. 1:1) opens Generation settings — the full quality panel for the run:

Generation settings

Ratio — 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, 3:2, 2:3, 21:9, or Custom. Pick the frame before you generate; don't crop gold afterwards.
Resolution — 1K, 2K, 4K. Drafts belong in 1K; save 4K for final picks (higher resolution costs more points).
Quality — Low, Medium, High. Quality raises detail fidelity — and the price scales with it, always shown on the button before you run.

⚙️ The exact choices depend on the model you selected — each model exposes the ratios, resolutions, and quality tiers it actually supports, so this panel can look different between models.

3. Browse your history

Finished images land in the grid, newest first, grouped by date. Hover a card to favorite, delete, or open it.

The top-right toolbar controls how you browse:

Search (magnifier) — find records by their prompt text.
Sort — By Date and other orders from the dropdown.
Type filter — show only Image, Video, or Audio records.
Favorites — keep just the keepers on screen.
List / Grid view — switch between a compact table and the visual grid.
Zoom slider — resize thumbnails from contact-sheet to near-full-width.

4. Open the detail view

Click any record and it opens full-screen with everything about that generation:

The prompt — with one-click Copy, so you can remix a winning look instantly.
Information — model, type, status, dimensions, format, file size, and more under Show more.
Zoom controls and a pager (e.g. 1 / 4) for multi-image runs.
A floating navigator on the right — click any thumbnail to jump between records without closing the viewer, or use the side arrows.
Download the original file, or open more actions from the ⋯ menu.

5. Organise with folders

The folder dropdown (top-left) scopes both the history you see and where new generations are saved. Your account starts with Default — create more folders per client, per project, or per experiment, and switch the composer's Save to target so every run files itself.

💡 Everything you generate anywhere in Siamshort — including Tools — is saved into this same Workspace history.
