Getting Started with Image 2.5
Beginner tutorial: write a prompt, pick a ratio, choose Flare or Sunburst, generate, and refine on image25.xin.

Your first Image 2.5 run from blank canvas to a usable image.
Goal
Ship one clear first image, then improve it with a single focused edit.
Steps
- Open Create.
- Write a short prompt: subject → scene → lighting → composition.
- Pick an aspect ratio that matches the job (square, landscape, or portrait).
- Choose Flare for fast exploration, or Sunburst when precision matters.
- Set quality, then generate.
- Refine one issue at a time — crop/framing, materials, or labels — instead of rewriting everything.

Quick tips
- Keep the first prompt concrete; add style words only after the subject reads clearly.
- Lock ratio early so later edits do not fight the crop.
- Use Flare to explore, then switch to Sunburst for the hero frame if edges or text must hold.
