Flux Ultra 1.1 vs Reve
Film grain, retro aesthetic, and nostalgic filters — see how these models compare with real AI-generated outputs.
Full comparisonCompare Models (select 4)
Vintage & retro visuals live or die on the details: believable film grain, era-accurate color shifts, subtle lens imperfections, and the kind of nostalgic “print” feel that doesn’t look like a modern filter pasted on top. Flux Ultra 1.1 and Reve both generate strong retro-inspired images in Influencer Studio, but they approach the look differently.
Flux Ultra 1.1 leans into premium realism and micro-detail—useful when you want authentic analog texture (grain, halation, soft highlights) while keeping subjects sharp and lifelike. Reve prioritizes aesthetic styling and dependable text rendering, which can be a major advantage for retro posters, album covers, and packaging-style layouts where typography needs to read cleanly.
Vintage & Retro — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"A 22–28-year-old woman with a shaggy shoulder-length brown haircut and wispy bangs, wearing a vintage band tee tucked into high-waisted light-wash jeans and chunky white sneakers, holds her phone out for a casual front-camera selfie while glancing near the lens with a half-smile. She’s in a cozy corner booth of a small café with a cappuccino and thrifted magazine on the table, soft window daylight hitting one side of her face, slight motion blur like a quick story snap. 90s disposable-camera look with film grain, faded warm tones, subtle light leak on the edge, timestamp-style vibe, imperfect framing like real Instagram."

Flux Ultra 1.1 Strengths
- Highly realistic “analog” texture potential: film grain, subtle noise, and natural-looking imperfections without losing subject clarity
- Exceptional detail helps sell period materials (paper fibers, fabric weave, aged metal, worn leather) in retro scenes
- Photoreal output supports convincing vintage photography looks (soft contrast, gentle highlight roll-off, mild lens character)
- Premium-quality results reduce the need for heavy post-processing when aiming for authentic nostalgia
Reve Strengths
- Strong retro aesthetic styling that can quickly produce cohesive, nostalgic art-direction (color palettes, posterized looks, print-like finishes)
- Accurate text rendering is well-suited to vintage posters, signage, magazine covers, and label-style designs
- Creative flexibility for stylized “retro filter” treatments (bold tones, graphic shapes, illustrative throwbacks)
- Lower per-image cost makes iterative exploration of multiple nostalgic looks more budget-friendly
Verdict
If your priority is photoreal vintage photography—authentic film grain, subtle aging, and high-fidelity detail—Flux Ultra 1.1 is the stronger fit, especially when the retro feel must hold up at close inspection.
If you’re making retro creative assets with typography (posters, album covers, ad layouts) and want reliable text plus strong stylization at a lower cost per image, Reve is the more efficient choice for vintage & retro workflows.
