FLUX.2 Pro colour and glass from the top shelf
Cosmetics, spirits, fragrance, watches — categories where the price comes from how the product looks in frame. This model understands saturated colour and hard light on glass better than anything else on our graphics list.

What it is good for
- Saturated, consistent colour
- A bottle in deep green stays the same green across the whole creative rather than drifting between the reflection and the body. That is the first thing that marks material out as higher end.
- Glass, metal, reflections
- A hard rim light on the edge of glass and a soft reflection on brass — those are precisely the two effects that usually come out fake, and precisely the two this model gets right.
- Eight reference photos
- The editing variant takes up to eight images, so your bottle is the one on the creative. The figure comes from the model card, because the model itself states no limit.
When to pick something else
Thirty seconds a frame, the second slowest image model behind Nano Banana Pro — tiring if you are flipping through ideas. It sets type elegantly, but with three blocks of text and a button Ideogram V3 is safer. And it is not a model for a listing's first photo: a saturated, moody frame loses to a clean background from Seedream 4 as a thumbnail.

The things this engine handles differently from the rest. The habits that hold for every model are collected separately, in the help centre.
- Give it glass, metal or lacquer. Reflections and highlights are what this engine does better than the rest of the list, and matte cardboard will not show you that.
- Describe the palette, not only the object. "Deep green and brass", "warm sepia" — colour stays consistent across a whole set here if you name it.
- Upload up to eight photographs when the product has to be yours. It takes references, so you do not have to describe the shape of the packaging in words.
- One headline comes out elegantly, but with three blocks of text and a button Ideogram V3 is the safer bet.
- Do not use it for the first photograph in a listing. A saturated, moody frame loses as a thumbnail to a clean backdrop from Seedream 4, and thirty seconds a version hurts while you are still browsing ideas.
