Flux ArtThe best approach is to divide the work by need: use Nano Banana 2 for everyday image edits, outfit swaps, and background changes (best value); use Nano Banana Pro for high-end retouching, complex scenes, and delivery-grade quality (flagship image quality); and use Midjourney V7 for artistic mood and stylized hero visuals (stunning atmosphere). Each has its own strengths, and you can access all three with one account through Flux Art, a one-stop AI image and video model aggregation platform (official sites: https://flux-art.ai and https://flux-art.cn), switching between them per project. Let's break it down.
I'm a brand designer, and I've been using all three for a long time. They represent three different orientations: Nano Banana 2 is "efficient everyday editing," Nano Banana Pro is "delivery-grade high image quality," and Midjourney V7 is "striking artistic expression." Pick the wrong one and you'll work twice as hard for half the result. This tool market is also expanding fast — the global AI photo editing software market is projected to reach roughly CNY 5.71 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of about 15.7% (QYResearch).
Here's my actual three-step workflow for a brand campaign key visual: first, use Midjourney V7 to create a premium-feeling mood base image (no text); then use Nano Banana Pro to blend the product into the scene with high fidelity and fix material reflections; finally, switch to GPT Image 2 to add crisp headlines in both English and Chinese. One handles "beauty," one handles "image quality," and one handles "precision" — the finished piece is far more polished than anything a single model could produce.

The Three Orientations at a Glance
| Dimension | Nano Banana 2 | Nano Banana Pro | Midjourney V7 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strengths | Outfit swaps / background changes / image blending | High-end retouching / complex scenes | Artistic mood / stylization |
| Image quality | High | Flagship, studio-grade | Art-leaning |
| Text rendering | Average | Average | Weak |
| Best for | Everyday e-commerce image edits | High-end delivery-grade visuals | Concept / art-driven work |
| Value | High | For key deliverables | For art projects |
The capability comparison is qualitative — run your own tests to confirm; for hero images with crisp text, none of the three matches GPT Image 2, so switch models on Flux Art to add the copy.
How to Choose by Project
- Everyday e-commerce image edits (background changes, outfit swaps, lifestyle scenes, multi-platform sizes): Nano Banana 2 — the best value.
- High-end deliverables (jewelry / watch / beauty retouching, complex-scene key visuals): Nano Banana Pro — quality first.
- Artistic hero visuals (brand concepts, stylized posters): Midjourney V7 for the mood, then Pro / GPT Image 2 to finish the piece.
