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.

Thank you for your feedback. The issue you mentioned has been fixed.

Agreed

The strawberry cake has an extra layer of strawberries in the bottom, replacing a red jelly / jam layer.

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.

Also, some of the blur it removed from the strawberries on top are clearly a dusting of icing sugar that it simply discarded.

That's a "minor" thing, I'd say. In the case of the woman with the long hair and white dress, the dress is entirely different in the "enhancement".
