Ever improved Ai offerings continue to rain down on us.
This time its the formal sounding Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, but more affectionately known as Nano Banana. Last month I talked about consistency of characters and subjects, and how it has been a major shortcoming of Ai generation in images and videos.
Google have added to the ranks of providers who are getting this major limitation fixed, and once again leap-frogged the field. Googles Gemini website describing the essence of Gemini 2.5 Flash Image:
‘Place the same character in different scenes, showcase products from various angles in new settings, or generate consistent brand assets. Gemini 2.5 Flash Image gives you the reliable control needed for a huge range of applications.’
The real value of consistency of character is being able to place subjects in different locations, and then being able to fine tune the resulting image by modifying features within it.
Google can combine images and the create new one, such as this:
The tremendous value of a clear and accurate single image is that it is the start of the workflow needed to generate Ai videos. It takes the guess work out of hoping that the video – that is expensive to produce using Ai tools – will contain all the elements you had wanted. Photoshop and other similar image altering products days are serious numbered!

As a footnote and reminder, if you are planning to use Googles Nano Banana (or anyone else for that matter), always check carefully that it is actually a Google product you are signing up for. There are imitators out there!
This a short one this month as I am spending a lot of time building an Ai focused website at aiveo.uk to help meet the needs of those members who have expressed interest in learning more about Ai.
Something to look forward to!
