The two core modes of Flux Kontext AI correspond to different authoring needs, and the following decision tree is recommended for selection:

Select Pro mode when::
1. In the creative exploration stage, need to validate multiple options quickly (e.g., try 30 colorways in 1 hour)
2. Processing of simple commands (single object modification/base style migration)
3. Limited device performance (Max mode requires higher GPU memory)
Select Max mode when::
1. Output of final deliverables (print quality/4K resolution requirements)
2. Execute complex compound instructions (e.g., "change the pianist to a woman in a tuxedo while maintaining the atmosphere of a jazz bar")
3. Need for extreme detail (hair texture/metallic reflections/micro-expressions, etc.)

Comparison of technical parameters:

dimension (math.)	Pro mode	Max Mode
Single generation time	12-18 seconds	45-90 seconds
Supported Resolutions	1024×1024	2048×2048
Multi-object associative understanding	★☆☆☆☆	★★★★

Suggested workflow: start with Pro mode for quick iteration of ideas, lock in direction and switch to Max mode for final rendering.
