Larger image preview on Firefly boards generator.

Look, I get keeping the images to thumbnail size to increase the speed at which the images are produced, but as a middle-aged person, the images are simply too small to provide enough visual information for my brain to process whether the image has met my expectations or not. (Frankly, this is a rather common form of ageism that ignores UX Best Practices.)

 

Currently in order to view the images produced (whether single or in groups, and regardless of AI engine) I have to place the image on the board, enlarge it, and zoom in. That is A LOT of unnecessary work for the user (and I highly doubt I'm alone in feeling this way.)

 

I have no objection to producing only a single image, if that's indeed faster. And, as a user, I don't mind waiting while the AI "thinks."  I just want it to produce an image I can see on a 17" laptop screen without having to use a magnifying glass to see the detail.

 

I should also call out that I get far superior results from Gemini than Firefly. But I do like Firefly and the new boards. I just think some small (no pun intended) UI updates could have a significant impact for your end users. I'm sure the AI will improve with use and input. I look forward to (hopefully) seeing improvements.
