August 2026: A studio for making, keeping, and sharing

August was a big step towards the Supermodels people can recognise today. The camera-style image workspace arrived, saved work became a more visual archive, and accounts gained wallets, public profiles, and clearer storage information.

The useful change was that a creation could have a life after the first preview. You could keep it, find it again, work on it further, and decide whether to share it.

Your saved work became Gallery

The archive first arrived under the name Darkroom and was renamed Gallery later in the month. It added previews, filtering, star ratings, and favourites. Work could be grouped into stacks and collections, with default groups for anything you had not sorted yet.

For a designer exploring a poster, this could mean saving several directions, starring the two worth discussing, and putting the work into a collection for that project. When the next meeting comes around, the promising versions are easier to find.

The image workspace also became better connected to editing and enlargement. A result could be reopened and taken further, while the original stayed available.

Share a selection through your own profile

Public profiles gave people a handle and a place to publish selected creations. The account's saved work remained private unless individual outputs were chosen for publication. Sharing the prompt was optional.

You could use this as a small portfolio of experiments: a series of imagined interiors, a collection of character studies, or a few visual directions for a personal project. There is no need to publish every draft to show the ones you are pleased with.

Source and reference files were kept out of the public copies. Profiles and individual published items could also be withdrawn.

A wallet for pay-as-you-go work

We added Stripe top-ups, wallet balances and history, and payment invoice support. The generation flow checked available credit, reserved what a request needed, and settled the charge when the output was delivered. Failed creation or saving could release the reservation.

The aim was to make a session easier to budget. You should be able to see the cost before starting a piece of work and understand what is happening to your balance while it runs.

Storage also became visible, including private files, public copies, and usage by media type. A wallet purchase activated the included 1 GB allowance.

By the end of the month, profile, wallet, and storage controls lived together in Settings. You could check your balance, review what you had saved, and manage your public profile from the same place.
