Hands-on: Tencent Hunyuan Image 3.5 Preview Excels at Text and Editing Control
On September 23, blogger HeyAmit published a 6-post thread testing Tencent's Hunyuan Image 3.5 preview. His overall verdict: the model's value lies not just in image quality but in fine-grained control over generation and embedding it into fuller workflows. Testing was done through Miora's Image Generator, with a pipeline of prompt/reference images → generation → review.
Confirmed
- Supports both text-to-image and image-to-image, with up to 5 reference images as visual context rather than relying on a single prompt.
- Text generation works across languages, font sizes, and layouts, and understands how typography fits the composition—suited to posters, ads, presentations, and UI concepts per the blogger.
- For realism, the model emphasizes lighting, materials, lens language, environmental detail, and texture, which greatly affect image credibility.
- In editing tasks (scene replacement, style adjustment, image transformation), the design goal is preserving key features of the reference image while applying user-requested changes; in testing, changing scenes and styles retained reference features.
- Workflow extensions cited: product photo → ad creative, idea → poster, game concept → UI, reference image → new visuals.
Why it matters
Text rendering has long been a pain point in AI image generation, while multi-reference and feature-preserving editing determine whether a model fits real production pipelines. If stable, Hy Image 3.5 could become practical for posters, ads, presentations, and UI design. As a preview release, final performance remains to be seen.
