# Seedream 5.0 Lite

## Overview

Evolution of [Seedream 4.5](/models/image-models/seedream-4.5.md). 

### Key Updates

* **Stronger feature consistency:** Significantly improves consistency for characters, roles, and products across images. Notable enhancements to skin tone preservation, face consistency, and small-sized face stability.
* **More precise instruction following & editing:** Enhanced editing capabilities combined with brush input. Better image understanding, deconstruction, and complexity for poster generation.
* **Photo editing & portrait retouching:** Remarkable improvements in reference image adherence, original detail preservation, skin texture restoration, and facial feature accuracy.
* **Distortion-free product images:** Combined with enhanced consistency, performs better in secondary creation of product images, ensuring the main product remains distortion-free.

### Weaknesses

* **Anatomical distortions in complex scenes:** Occasionally struggles with disproportionate human figures or spatial misalignments. Seedream 4.5 is more mature and stable in this regard.
* **Max resolution 3K:** Seedream 4.5 supports up to 4K output, while 5.0 Lite maxes out at 3K.
* **Dense small-text regression:** While layout hierarchy is better, precision of dense small text may be less sharp than Seedream 4.5.
