Ideogram 4.5 is worth comparing for targeted corrections to existing artwork. Its precise-edit API accepts a source image, optional references and an optional mask, and documents exact copying of pixels it leaves unchanged. Oversized sources may be downscaled, so check output dimensions and untouched regions before committing to a batch. Keep typography editable outside the raster image, and save results because API image links expire. Hosted policies restrict pornographic and other objectionable content, including submitted references. The open-weight release of Ideogram 4.0 does not establish a local 4.5 license.
Commercial use & license
Hosted Ideogram service and API terms apply. The reviewed 4.5 endpoint documentation does not establish a license for local weights.
Adult content rules
Ideogram service and API policies restrict pornographic and other objectionable content, including uploaded images and references.
What you need
API key, payment method and usable credits in an Ideogram account. Follow source-image limits and keep rights to submitted references documented.
