Why is the quality of Nano Banana Pro generation in Photoshop significantly worse than in the web version of Gemini 3? Will it be fixed?

The resolution of the generations created in Photoshop is significantly lower than when creating the same generation directly on the Gimini 3 website.

Hi @Jammyj @Alex Freedomroad @SvetlanaShchaveleva,

Thanks for raising this. To understand this properly, I’d need a bit more detail on how you’re using it:

• Are you using Generative Fill / Replace inside an image (with a selection like marquee/lasso)?

• Or generating a full image from an empty canvas?

Also, when you say quality is worse, could you clarify:

• Is the issue with resolution (image size / sharpness)

• Or with generation quality (details, realism, artifacts)

If possible, please share:

• The exact prompt(s) you used

• A comparison (Photoshop vs Gemini web)

Once I have that, I can share more precise guidance and pass feedback to the product team.

Best,

Anshul Saini

Hi
When I mentioned poor quality I mean a full image from an empty canvas in 1280x720 in 72 ppi RGB Color Mode 8bit in Photoshop.
The main issue is the lack of sharpness compared to the image size
Attached below are the generated images and the prompt used:
Note: Gemini generated a 2752 x 1536 PNG image of 8,62 MB. I had to reduce the size down to meet Adobe upload requiremnts. The image dimmensions are kept.

On the left is the Gemini generated Image using Nano Banan Pro on the right the Photoshop generated image using Gemini 3

“An ultra-realistic oil painting of a warrior in close-up studio like portrait pose wearing a golden armor, similar to Roman armor from the Imperial Roman period, wearing a helmet, shield, and sword. He is standing and looking to the right in a 3/4 profile. He appears to be a man between 30 and 40 years old, with a confident and resolute gaze on the horizon. In his right hand, holds firmly a golden sword pointed upwards, and in his left hand, he holds a richly ornamented golden shield. Chiaroscuro lighting, dark background rich textures, high detail, masterpiece, 8k, warm color palette, cinematic atmosphere. Aspect ratio 16:9”

i am finding the quality the same in either, and both are rubbish. Currently nano banana is not fit for use. I have researched it and cannot find a solution. I just want the whole process to be done within PS and maintain the quality of the original.

Yes, I’ve noticed this too. What is the adequate image size for Gemini generations in Photoshop?

Have you tried Generative Upscale? I know of two professionals who work within the image size confines of the generative models, and then upscale to a more usable resolution. If it works for Jesús Rameriz and Lisa Carney, producing artwork for the Hollywood TV and movie industry, I’d have thought it satisfactory for most situations.
