Output Settings and Controls

An overview of all output controls in Qolaba's Image Generation workspace — number of generations, quality settings, dimensions, and credit implications.

Output Controls define the technical parameters of your generated image — how many images to produce, what quality to render at, and what dimensions to use. Every setting directly affects the credit cost of your generation, displayed before you commit to generating.

Output Controls at a Glance

Control	What It Defines	Credit Impact
Number of Generations	How many images to produce in one run	Multiplies total cost linearly
Quality	Visual fidelity — 720p, 1K, 2K, 4K	Higher = more credits
Dimensions	Aspect ratio and pixel dimensions of the output	No credit impact

How Output Settings Affect Credits

Each output control contributes to the total credit cost of a generation:

Total credits = credits per image × number of generations

The credits per image figure is determined by your combined choice of model and quality setting. Dimensions do not affect credit cost. The exact total is displayed before you generate — adjust any setting and the cost updates immediately.

For a complete breakdown of credit calculation across all settings, see Image Models →.

Resetting Output Controls

The Reset option clears all current settings and inputs — model, preset, prompt, keywords, reference images, quality, dimensions, and generation count. Use this when starting a completely new generation to avoid carrying over settings from a previous run.

What's in This Section

1. Number of Generations → How batch generation works, when to run multiple at once, and how generation count multiplies credit cost.

2. Quality Settings → 720p through 4K — what each quality level produces, when to use each, and how quality affects credit cost.

3. Dimensions & Aspect Ratio → Available dimension presets, platform-specific recommendations, and tips for matching output dimensions to your intended use.
