Choosing resolution and aspect ratio

Two settings control size in tendre.AI: the Format and the Quality. Both sit in Create an image, and nowhere else since 0.9.0 (the "Generation size" of Settings is gone). Together they decide render time, video memory use and final detail.

1. Pick a format

In Create an image, under Format, choose Portrait, Square or Landscape. Portrait is the default, made for phone screens; landscape suits wide scenes, square suits grids and thumbnails. Portrait and Landscape use the same 9:16 and 16:9 shapes as video, so an image can be animated without being cropped. In Standard quality they render at 768x1344, 1024x1024 and 1344x768.

2. Pick the quality

Under Quality, choose Small (768), light and fast for modest graphics cards; Standard (1024), the engine's native size, which needs more video memory; or High (2K), which renders directly at twice the size, with no upscaling: more video memory and slower. High is for licences only, and the demo goes up to Standard. If generations are slow or fail with a memory error, drop to Small.

3. Iterate small, keep large

Start with Standard so you can iterate on the prompt quickly. There is little point rendering at High while you are still adjusting composition or lighting. Once the image is right, fix its seed and render it again in High (2K): the app has no separate enlarging step since 0.9.0, and 2K is rendered large from the start.
