Upscale and other image features no longer supported?

With the recent announcement that Imagen 1 and 2 will be discontinued in September 2025, I’m wondering if we can expect Imagen 4 or future Imagen models to ever start supporting dedicated image upscaling, inpainting, or mask-free editing features?

I understand that gemini-2.0-flash-preview-image-generation somewhat obviates the need for inpainting and mask-free editing. However, upscaling, in particular, does not seem to be a feature that will be natively and robustly supported by any of Google’s current image generation models.

Hi @piano_keys, Could please confirm if you are talking about the imagen and imagen 2 available in vertex ai. Thank You.

Yes, that’s right. We referenced this page for upscaling, for example.
