Ideogram 4.5: Edit an Image 10 Times and It Still Looks Like the Original
Most image models fall apart under repeated edits. Change the headline, then the background, then the product, and by the fourth pass the pixels have crept a little, the colors have drifted, and a grainy texture has settled over everything.
Ideogram 4.5 is built for exactly that workflow. Edit the same image 10 times and nothing shifts, the colors hold, and no texture gets added. What you didn’t touch comes back pixel for pixel.
It’s also Ideogram, so the words come out right. Posters, logos, packaging, and social graphics with real, legible type, and you can use all of it on Mitte.
What can you do with it?
- Iterate on a design without degrading it. Swap the headline, then try a new color, then move the logo. Each pass starts from a clean image, so the tenth edit looks as sharp as the first.
- Localize and version a layout. One master design, then a run of edits for each language, market, or size. The base art stays identical across every version.
- Fix one spot with a mask. Paint over the area that should change and everything outside it stays exactly as it was, down to the pixel.
- Design posters and flyers. Event posters, gig flyers, film one-sheets, with the title, date, and lineup rendered as readable type.
- Generate logos and wordmarks. Describe the brand, the feel, and the name in quotes, and get lettering you can actually read.
- Mock up packaging and labels. Bottles, boxes, cans, and bags with the product name and copy where they belong.
- Bring in references. Up to 4 reference images per edit, so a real product, a logo file, or a style sample ends up in the result.
How to use it
- Write the prompt. Describe the layout, style, and mood, and put every word that should appear in the image in quotation marks.
- Attach an image to edit (optional). With a source image attached, the prompt describes the change instead of the whole picture. Add up to 4 references in the prompt zone if the edit needs them.
- Add a mask (optional). A black-and-white image the size of your source. Black is the area to change, white is what stays.
- Pick an edit mode. Regular reimagines the image around your change. Precise restores every pixel you didn’t touch, which is the mode for stacking edits on a finished design.
- Choose the ratio and quality. Square, 4:3, or 16:9 in either orientation, or Auto to keep the source size when editing. Low for quick drafts, Medium for most work, High when it’s going to print.
- Generate. Up to 4 images per run. Download them, or run the next edit right on Mitte.
What you get
Up to 4 images per run. Square images come out at 1024x1024, 4:3 at 1152x864, 16:9 at 1280x720 (or the portrait equivalents). Edits keep the source image’s size by default, so a chain of edits never resamples the picture.
Tips
- Use Precise for anything you’ll edit more than once. Regular mode may redraw the surroundings slightly; Precise locks them. If you’re building a design over several passes, stay in Precise.
- One change per pass. Since edits don’t cost you quality, there’s no reason to cram 3 changes into one prompt. Do them one at a time and check each.
- Say what stays. “Change the headline to ‘OPEN LATE’, keep the colors, layout, and illustration.” Naming the untouchables makes edits cleaner.
- Quote the copy, and only the copy. “SUMMER SALE” in quotes tells the model those exact letters go on the image. Describing the font feel next to it (“bold condensed sans,” “hand-painted script”) gets you the look.
- Keep the text short. A headline and a subline render cleanly. Three paragraphs of body copy won’t.
- Draft low, finish high. Run 4 variations at Low to pick a direction, then rerun the winner at High.
- Prompt expansion is on by default for new images. Turn it off in the settings when you’ve written a precise brief and want it followed literally.
