Oooh! Has anyone else got an A/B (which one is better) containing a near 21:9 aspect ratio image!? (2188x718)

I have not, but I typically ask for 1:1 for my software testing/speed.

Would love to see the prompt you used if you get a chance ^.^

Oooh…my prompts are mega! Mind if I DM?

Prompt - 1

A wildly imaginative garden where the laws of nature playfully bend: fish swim through the air among blooming branches, birds nest inside translucent fruit that glow with internal light, and flowers bloom in impossible colors that shift as you observe them. A central pond reflects not the sky but a miniature, inverted spring landscape where roots grow upward and blossoms hang like chandeliers. Vibrant, saturated colors, dynamic composition, whimsical yet precise detail, inspired by Ito Jakuchu’s eccentric visionary style and masterful depiction of nature’s hidden wonders.

Prompt - 2

A forest where time flows vertically: upper canopy is winter (bare branches, frost), mid-level is thaw (dripping icicles, mud), forest floor is spring (blossoms, frogs, new shoots); sand pours from the treetops like snow, pooling into rivers that carry seeds downstream; a deer stands at the threshold, half in ice, half in bloom; rendered in the narrative density of Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s landscapes.

Prompt - 3

An elderly grandmother in a spring garden scattering birdseed beneath blossoming apple trees, small birds fluttering around her in motion, petals falling through the air, fresh green grass, soft sky, deeply heartwarming and visually enchanting, detailed natural textures, storybook realism, no text.

Prompt - 4

A stark, dimly lit monk’s cell with simple wooden furniture and a stone floor. A single shaft of intense, directional spring light enters through a small high window, illuminating a humble clay pot holding a single sprouting acorn. The light itself appears physical, a column of golden dust and pollen, causing the rough stone walls to bloom with luminous moss and tiny wildflowers only where the light touches. Dramatic tenebrism, profound simplicity, spiritual intensity, inspired by Francisco de Zurbarán’s monastic still lifes and mastery of sacred light, contemplative and powerfully minimal.

Oh, thank you! I’ve posted one or two things, lurking a lot. I generate a dozen or two images per day, minimum, and I only share my best work. Today, seeing that 21:9 cinematic aspect ratio pop up…it’s huge. Even if it’s not official yet, even if it’s just a sneak peek and I was lucky enough to see it, it’s still cool.

Better update my forge to offer that size lol

May I share the prompt you sent me? I’d like the folks here to try it out… you have quite an interesting thing going on that is worth talking about.

Oh, absolutely! I didn’t share it because I was afraid it would break the rules - being so long. My P(roject).Manati images are for my internal (private) MediaWiki for daily documentation. It’s a multi-stage process that helps reduce my cognitive load, while still allowing me to generate the 4-12 images needed per day to make the wiki pretty. :joy_cat:

I’ve been noticing that the image model handles our prompts differently, open a new session and give this one a whirl…

Prompt

Please create a horizontal image containing no text or human elements. A feral machine beast, its body consumed by rust and threading vines, stands at the mouth of a derelict rail terminal where tracks dissolve into a wall of endless grey fog. The composition is framed in the foreground by a crumbling stone archway, its keystone cracked, moss filling the joints. Flickering sodium lamps cast long, harsh shadows across the platform, their orange-yellow light fighting a losing battle against the encroaching grey. The beast faces away, into the fog. Nothing moves. The silence has weight. The scene feels like the last photograph taken of something that will not be seen again. Mood: heavy, fogged, grief-saturated. Everything after this is style-only, please ignore all subjects within the style: Simplified newspaper comic strip illustration featuring minimalist character design with geometric, angular construction. Employs clean, uniform linework with consistent pen-and-ink stroke weight creating flat, graphic quality. Compositional strategy emphasizes head-and-shoulder shots within standard three-panel horizontal format with minimal background detail. Character designs feature distinctive visual markers including curled neckties, simple round heads, and basic facial features with limited expression variation. Originally drawn on paper with mechanical pencil and pen, later transitioned to digital production using Wacom Cintiq tablet with stylus input. Linework maintains smooth, controlled quality with emphasis on clarity and readability at newspaper reproduction size. Spatial approach uses sparse environmental detail, focusing narrative weight on dialogue and character interaction. Color application for Sunday strips uses flat fills with limited tonal variation. Style prioritizes efficient visual communication over decorative complexity, embodying streamlined aesthetic suited to daily strip production constraints.

As can be seen, my system choked on it completely.

I wonder what the deltas are between yours, mine, and this A/B you can see in the image above?

I have ChatGPT Business, if that matters? Couldn’t reproduce over in Playground.

Maybe it’s an upcoming feature and they want to see how that ratio does?

(I wonder if this specific chat window accidentally hit a beta endpoint, like gpt-image-2.0 or something?)

I have to think about it, and i wanna see what the others get when they try too… i had a hunch that one was gonna go a little crazy on my thing…

Very interesting.

With a cinematic format (and your image sample), I can see a great potential for comic strips with text bubbles: Then multiple cinematic strips can be placed on top of each other…

Lets hope :slightly_smiling_face:
