   Flare is used to quickly create first drafts of posters or product photos, and at low quality it can make an image in 6 seconds.

2. 2

   Sunburst is introduced for keeping details consistent during editing at medium or high quality.

3. 3

   The introduction includes examples of changing only the background while keeping a product's shape and texture, and turning a mascot into a looping GIF (a short animated image file).
