Midjourney still defines aesthetic AI imagery for many designers — painterly styles, cinematic lighting, and a community-driven prompt culture on Discord. v6 improved hands and typography, though commercial workflows often pair it with Photoshop cleanup.
Canva bundles Magic Write, text-to-image, and background removal for non-designers shipping social posts daily. Templates plus AI mean marketing teams publish faster, though brand-critical campaigns still benefit from Figma or Adobe finisher work.
Stability AI backs open image models like Stable Diffusion — developers self-host for control, brands use DreamStudio for hosted generation. It appeals when you need custom fine-tunes or on-prem generation instead of closed APIs only.
