Comparison
AIPhoto-Generator vs Midjourney
Midjourney is a paid image and video studio with editing, style tools and 2K output, used on its website and in Discord, and its images are public unless you turn on Stealth mode, which needs the Pro or Mega plan. AIPhoto-Generator is much smaller: one model and text only, with 3 free images and no account, then image packs from $5 and no public gallery.

What AIPhoto-Generator does differently
For moody, film-like scenes, our Cinematic style adds “cinematic film still, dramatic lighting, shallow depth of field, rich color grading” to your prompt. This alley came from the prompt below with that style.
Prompt: Rain-soaked city alley at night, neon signs reflecting on wet pavement, a lone figure with an umbrella in the distance
