Strengths
Headlines, labels, and logos come out spelled right, a long-standing weak spot for image models.
From 1:1 and 16:9 to banner shapes like 3:1, 22:9, and 9:23.
Send an image in `imageData` and set its influence with `image_weight` in `options.params`.
`rendering_speed` in `options.params` trades speed for detail; every image is $0.12.
