| Measured fixture results | Subject retention: 99.8% · Edge blending: 0.114 · Contact shadow score: 0 · Resolution retention: 100% | Subject retention: 83.6% · Edge blending: 0.225 · Contact shadow score: 0 · Resolution retention: 200% |
| Fixture findings | On standard anchor benchmark, subject retention reaches 99.8% (PSNR 37.01 dB, SSIM 0.9982) with sharp intact label text, natural edge blending though slight contact shadow, exporting 1024x1024 clean native PNG. | On the 1024×1024 skincare bottle anchor, Seedream 5 Flash upscales output to 2048×2048 (200%) with realistic marble podium and morning greenery (10/10 background richness), but full-frame generative editing yields 83.6% subject retention (PSNR 17.36 dB) rather than a pixel-locked overlay. |
| Original historical observation | Generated marble countertop with soft-focus green plant morning lighting, bottle structure and text fully preserved, exporting 1024x1024 clean PNG directly. | Renders an atmospheric marble podium with glass dividers and warm morning greenery at 2048×2048 resolution without watermarks; because it applies instruction-based full-image editing rather than a locked alpha cutout overlay, warm lighting reflections slightly restyle the bottle surface. |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Users needing quick clean marble or studio product backgrounds exported as high-res clean PNGs | Sellers and creators who want prompt-driven 2048×2048 e-commerce scene generation across multiple foundation models (Seedream 5, Nano Banana 2, Flux 3) with non-expiring pay-as-you-go credits |
