Luma just released Ray3, and there's some genuinely useful stuff here. The Game-Changer: Professional Integration Finally - 16-bit HDR with EXR export. This means we can actually bring AI footage into Resolve/Nuke/AE and grade it properly. No more weird color space nightmares. Smart Workflow Changes Two things that actually make sense: 1. Visual annotations - Draw on images instead of prompt engineering forever 2. Draft Mode → Hi-Fi Mode - Test ideas cheap/fast, then render only your selects in 4K HDR What to Watch For They're showing real shorts made with this ("Wasted" and "Subway"), not just tech demos. That's promising. But we still need answers on: - Actual clip duration limits - Real-world rendering times - Commercial usage rights The SDR to HDR conversion could be huge for archive footage if it works well. My Take This isn't about prettier pixels - it's about fitting into real pipelines. The EXR export alone shows they get it. Not replacing cameras tomorrow, but could be killer for previz, impossible shots, or enhancing existing footage. Anyone else have access? Share your results. Real tests > marketing claims. What would you actually use this for in current projects?

ByteDance’s new model folds text-to-image + image editing into one engine, so you can generate and surgically edit in the same flow. Think: swap subjects, rewrite poster text while preserving font/kerning, relight scenes, or build consistent looks from multiple reference images. It’s also fast and goes up to 4K. If Nano-Banana wowed you, this one will BLOW. YOUR. MIND. 🤯 Why it’s cool: - One model for gen + edit (less tool-hopping). - Batch & multi-reference for style/character consistency. - Up to 4K output; faster than the last version. Designers: don’t fear it — master it and dominate. Now go make something and post it below. 💥🎬 Check it out HERE!

Hey Party People, Happy Summer Solstice! Very little info available about Seedance, a new AI video gen model from China's behemoth ByteDance, (makers of TikTok). A lot of people are saying it's a monster, challenging, even surpassing, Google's Veo 3! 🤯 I mean, can this stuff be coming at us any faster?? Lot's of demos on their home page and you can check out some other info I found HERE. You can also try the model for yourself at Fal.ai If you make anything with it, or learn more details, be sure to share it with us!

Heads up, image creators: - Google quietly dropped an AI image-editing powerhouse—the code-named Nano Banana, now officially known as Gemini 2.5 Flash Image. It hit the Gemini app and dev tools recently.Google Cloud+14Axios+14Google AI Studio+14The Times of India - This isn’t just another filter. It solves the classic “face looks almost the same… but slightly off” problem—now edits preserve character consistency (faces, pets, objects remain recognizable across edits).The Times of India+1 - You can blend multiple images, tweak one area at a time via prompt (“blur background,” “remove stain,” “change pose,” “colorize B&W”), and it keeps the rest stable.Google Developers Blog+2El País+2 - It’s live via Gemini app (visible watermark + invisible SynthID watermark), Google AI Studio, Gemini API, and Vertex AI.Google DeepMind+6Google Developers Blog+6blog.google+6 - Early buzz: top-tier on LMArena benchmarks for image editing. Users are literally “going bananas” about how natural these edits feel.Medium+8El País+8nanobanana.ai+8
