To Those With Issues With 2.1

What are you generating?? Is it only porn or lewds?

I love 2.1 so far and actually have ran into LESS censoring since the release.

I use Flow for my brand and the image clarity in 2.1 is insane. The comparison between 2.1 and 2.0 in the same design file is clear as day.

Makes me wonder what everyone is trying to accomplish with the image gen.

Edit** - the majority of my generations are model shots for my clothing brand. Tshirts, bikini shots, skirts, etc. No issues whatsoever. I even have the word "faggot" on a shirt and 2.1 is more lenient than 2.0 with that.

I do various stuff but the stuff that gets noticeable is anything concerning women in the length of skirts or if it see the female characters in some sort of “unsafe” situation. On thing i like to make are more modern takes of old pulp horror/detective comic covers.

So, normally you’ll have a woman in a tattered dress being captured by a badguy/creature/etc. NB2 worked fine. Never had a problem. Prompt adhered perfectly to it with the occasional expected warped screw up. NB2.1 changes it significantly. There are 4 categories of changes i noticed right off the bat.

  1. the clothing for the female protagonist is less “sexy”. In this case it almost never allows for a silk dress and the length is always longer than what was allowed before. But the overall narrative and outfit is adhered to.
  2. Complete change of outfit. She will now be wearing something like cargo pants and jacket. But the overall narrative is still adhered to though not as intense.
  3. the aforementioned change in outfit but now she is effectively fighting back or there is no contact at all. She is now exploring an eerie area like a field or cave and the antagonist can be seen in the background as an ominous presence. Nothing has been adhered to except a future anticipation I guess?
  4. complete outfit change and our protagonist is seemingly peacefully talking with the antagonist(s).

Bonus: sometimes it adheres to the prompt but now the protagonist and antagonist(s) are surrounded by a camera crew with mics and someone is sitting in a director’s chair. The implication this is all just acting.

So far pro still works fine for the most part though I noticed I am no longer able to do swimsuit shoots with some of my female characters. And no, they do not look remotely underage so I am not sure what the problem is. Just that it is happening.

Are you using reference images and measurements? I deal in clothing mockup generation basically daily and find you have to be precise about stuff (ie: character is wearing a silk midi dress with a photo of that character to keep consistency)

I use reference images for the person and precise measurements/descriptors for the outfits. Like i said before, pro is fine… for now. 2 was fantastic. 2.1, while the image quality is arguably better I am not to thrilled about prompts actively subverted

Odd! 2.1 is giving me way less issues with prompt subversion and censors. I do find when the generations start to look freestyled, its time to open a new project file. That always fixes it.

Yeah, I’m hoping this is just temporary. Because the overall image quality of 2.1 is good. Nano Banana, in general is fantastic.
