I am currently building an AI product which relies on Imagen 3 to generate a lot of photorealistic, cinematic or HDR images. I tried Imagen 4 during preview, but results were too "cartoonish". Did anyone else have the same experience?

Yeah me too, I think 3 does a much better job for photos or even just images that look like realistic renders. I use 3 for generating grids of age-progressed portraits for a game and it does a better job at sticking to the prompt. 4 also seems to spit out ones that have that really smooth look that makes it really obvious it’s AI.

Yes, it seems very reluctant to generate anything that could be mistaken for a photo.
