The name is... confusing, given that ImageMagick is an extremely popular tool already.

  I think that’s on purpose. Not sure what the advantages are. SEO? Collateral Branding?

    No, we have an AI writing product called MagickPen, so the second AI image tool is named magickimg. Thank you.

      I will second that it is quite confusing within the tech world though and people may misremember the name and not be able to find it for finding imagemagick.

      Well if Imagemagick needs funding to pursue a lawsuit against you, I'll certainly contribute to it...

In many of the examples the underlying subject matter is altered not merely enhanced (change in color of the eyes for example). The comparison between images doesn't work under Firefox/Windows 10.

  I thought this was true for me to too (Firefox / macOS), but the comparisons just took a very long time to load.

Woman has more hair covering the skin. Lot of colour changes and extra detail that simply did not existin the udnerlying material. Maybe they should change the "temperature" down a bit?

    The most interesting one to me is the black and white photograph of the woman giving her teeth diamond grills.
