Product photography is expensive. **Nano Banana Pro** (Google) and **Qwen Edit** (Alibaba) promise to make it free. These Inpainting models allow you to keep the product identical while changing the entire universe around it. ## The Test: The Sneaker Benchmark *Input: A photo of a white sneaker on a messy office desk.* *Prompt: Place the sneaker on a wet neon street in Tokyo at night. * ### Nano Banana Pro Performance **Score: 10/10** * **Lighting:** It detected the sneaker was white and cast purple neon reflections onto the leather. * **Shadows:** It created realistic contact shadows on the wet pavement. * **Artifacts:** Zero. The laces remained perfectly crisp. * **Verdict:** Ready for a Nike ad. ### Qwen Edit Performance **Score: 8/10** * **Lighting:** Good, but slightly flat. It put the sneaker on the street but didn't blend the colors perfectly. * **Speed:** It generated 4 variations in the time Nano Banana generated 1. * **Verdict:** Good for Instagram, maybe not for a billboard. ## Use Case: E-Commerce at Scale | Feature | Nano Banana Pro | Qwen Edit | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Best For** | **High-Ticket Items** (Luxury watches, Cars, Jewelry) | **High-Volume SKU** (T-shirts, Mugs, Phone cases) | | **Cost** | High ($0.08 per edit) | Low ($0.005 per edit) | | **Speed** | 4-8 Seconds | < 1 Second | | **Text Preservation** | **Perfect** (Maintains logos) | Good (Sometimes warps text) | ## The Banana Advantage The funny name hides a serious tech: ** Object-Aware Reasoning. ** Nano Banana Pro understands *what* the object is. It knows a watch reflects light differently than a sock. Qwen Edit treats everything as pixels. ## Conclusion * Use **Qwen Edit** to generate 100 variations for A/B testing on Facebook Ads. * Use **Nano Banana Pro** to generate the one Hero Image for your landing page. Both tools are integrated into the **MangoMind Image Editor**.
