Image Lab 2 rebuilds AI image workflow: AI acts as creative director before generating

woulatte · reddit · 2026-10-19

The developer of Image Lab 1 rebuilt the AI image workflow around a new idea: let the AI skill act as a creative director before generating anything. The brief is split into three buckets — must-keep (product, brand elements, key message), can-change (composition, layout, pose, typography, lighting), and new-ideas — then consolidated into an editable Excel creative matrix. Users review and filter directions before spending credits on batch generation, with LLM-as-judge support for visual comparison.

Pipeline: Brief → creative planning → review/filter the Excel matrix → batch generation → visual comparison. The project is open source, and the author is soliciting feedback on how agents should handle ambiguous creative instructions, how to represent creative plans, and where to place the human-in-the-loop checkpoint.
