In this episode, we explore Flora AI’s newly released image blending feature, which allows users to seamlessly combine different images and styles through an intuitive module-based interface. The feature expands Flora’s already impressive capabilities as a visual design tool that we previously covered on the show. Image blending, announced on April 17th, opens up new possibilities for marketers and designers looking to create consistent visual aesthetics across campaigns or apply specific styles to existing assets.
