# Ideogram 4.5

Ideogram 4.5 is Ideogram's image model for typography and precise editing. Its precise edit copies pixels the edit doesn't meaningfully change straight from the original, so repeated edits don't drift. In Sloosh it generates from text or edits an image, takes up to 5 images, and outputs 1K or 2K with a seed and four quality settings.

## Best for

- Changing the text on a label or sign while keeping everything else: in Ideogram's precise edit, "pixels the edit doesn't meaningfully change are copied exactly from the original" ([Ideogram API](https://developer.ideogram.ai/api-reference/images/precise-edit/ideogram-4-5)).
- Many rounds of edits on one image without drift (same source).
- Posters, promo tiles and banners with a headline, a subline and a button ([Sloosh docs](https://sloosh.ai/docs/ideogram-4-5.md)). The Label Designer Space ([sloosh.ai/spaces/label-designer](https://sloosh.ai/spaces/label-designer)) and Sale Offer Banner Set Space ([sloosh.ai/spaces/sale-offer-banner-set](https://sloosh.ai/spaces/sale-offer-banner-set)) fit these jobs.
- Edits guided by reference images that are never edited themselves ([Ideogram API](https://developer.ideogram.ai/api-reference/images/precise-edit/ideogram-4-5)).

5. Check the cost on the Generate button, then generate.

## Ideogram 4.5 prompting tips

From Sloosh's Ideogram 4.5 docs (Ideogram's own prompting guide was not reachable): - Lead with what the image is for and its format, then subject, setting, placement and light ([Sloosh docs](https://sloosh.ai/docs/ideogram-4-5.md)). - Put every required word in double quotes and give each line its size, style and place, in reading order ([Sloosh docs](https://sloosh.ai/docs/ideogram-4-5.md)). - Plan the empty space for copy, for example "the top 40% is a plain warm-white wall" ([Sloosh docs](https://sloosh.ai/docs/ideogram-4-5.md)). - Limit colours with hex codes: "strictly limited to this palette: #2F4F3A forest green, ..." ([Sloosh docs](https://sloosh.ai/docs/ideogram-4-5.md)). - End an edit with what stays: "Keep the bottle, the lighting and the background of image 1 unchanged." Say "only this text" when extra copy matters ([Sloosh docs](https://sloosh.ai/docs/ideogram-4-5.md)).
