Seedream 4.5 is excellent for generating many environment options quickly at a lower per-image cost.",{"question":58,"answer":59},"How do they compare for iterative scene changes (lighting, weather, composition)?","Flux 2 emphasizes versatile image editing and style transfer, which can help with controlled iteration from an existing frame. Seedream 4.5 also supports image-to-image editing and is a strong generalist for revisions, especially when you’re exploring many variants.",{"question":61,"answer":62},"Which is more cost-effective for concept art thumbnailing?","Seedream 4.5 is simpler and cheaper per image at 16 credits.
