Tested Rotate Object feature in Photoshop beta and I love it!
It quickly converts any image into a 3D object and you can rotate it with the side icons and place it. The object, when it is rotating, does look low res but when you click done, it gets back to its original resolution. Once you combine this feature with the harmonize feature in Photoshop, the output looks way better and consistent.

From my tests, it did really well with interior spaces, adding cars, trees, or any individual element in a scene. It did not work so well on extracting top view of a building, as you can see in the Google Earth test in the video, but I am sure there is a workaround with upscaling and matching resolution of both images. I definitely can imagine a lot of use cases, from interior rendering enhancements, visual storyboarding, 3D collage of objects, gaming, and more.

It does take around 20 credits and needs an internet connection for it to work. You can read more about it here: https://community.adobe.com/announcements-698/rotate-object-is-now-available-in-beta-1553466 but highly recommend testing the feature out.

Nano Banana Pro vs Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3 Pro Image vs Gemini 3.1 Flash Image)

Nano Banana 2 was released just a few hours ago, and I have been testing it for the past hour. My initial impression is that it is slightly underwhelming compared to Nano Banana Pro. However, considering that it costs about half as much, this was somewhat expected.

The model feels like a distilled version of Nano Banana Pro, similar to what Z Image Turbo or Flux Klein are within their respective ecosystems. Since both Gemini 3 Pro Image and Gemini 3.1 Flash Image share the same knowledge cap, the outputs look very similar at first glance.

Where the model truly stands out is in its fast generation time and cost efficiency. That said, it does not replace the Pro version, at least not yet. If you are a parametric designer or working with complex geometries and surfaces, I would still recommend sticking with the Pro version, at least until we see a Nano Banana 2 Pro release. Reminds me of the iPhone strategy!

Have you tested Nano Banana 2 yet?
