- Changed default model to gemini-2.0-flash-exp-image-generation
- Removed regular Nano Banana model references
- Added explicit options for aspect ratio (1:1 to 21:9)
- Added resolution options (1K default, 2K, 4K)
- Simplified documentation with clear defaults

 Generate and edit images using Google's Gemini API. The environment variable `GEMINI_API_KEY` must be set.

+## Default Model
 
-| Model | Alias | Resolution | Best For |
+| Model | Resolution | Best For |
-|-------|-------|------------|----------|
+|-------|------------|----------|
-| `gemini-2.5-flash-image` | Nano Banana | 1024px | Speed, high-volume tasks |

-| `gemini-3-pro-image-preview` | Nano Banana Pro | Up to 4K | Professional assets, complex instructions, text rendering |
 
-## Quick Start Scripts

 - All generated images include SynthID watermarks
 - Image-only mode (`responseModalities: ["IMAGE"]`) won't work with Google Search grounding
 - For editing, describe changes conversationally—the model understands semantic masking
