Top Picks For Image Generation

💡AI TRIVIA

According to a survey by Book An Artist, 89.2% of artists view current copyright laws as insufficient for protecting their work in the era of generative AI. Many artists feel vulnerable to having their creations misused by these technologies. Lawmakers are likely to tackle this issue soon, as several legal cases have already been filed by writers and artists against AI companies for alleged theft of intellectual property.

NLP-Powered Customer Engagement

Amazon has introduced a new version of its AI image generator, offering enhanced performance and additional features to maximize AI benefits for businesses.

The Amazon Titan Image Generator V2 now incorporates image conditioning. This feature enables the tool to identify and isolate specific parts of an image, providing fresh suggestions or options. Users can now direct image creation more effectively.

According to the company, the updated model is especially useful for marketing and advertising campaigns. It allows for the creation and assessment of various versions or developments of a particular image.

🛠️ Leveraging AI in Your Business: What Can Images Do?

Visualizing Products and Creating Mockups

Launching an early marketing campaign needs realistic product images, which can be tough if your product isn't finished yet. AI aids in generating a preview of your future product and experimenting with its design. For physical goods, consider multiple design options with your focus group to pick the best one.

For digital projects, use AI to develop app or website page mockups to present your product to potential investors.

Personalizing the User Experience

Using tools such as the AI Image Generator can enhance your ability to personalize ads or interfaces, adapting them to fit the needs of different audiences. For instance, you can effortlessly create multiple variations of the same banner or poster to cater to various demographic groups or for users who have displayed particular behaviors on your website.

Another method to boost personalization is by offering interactive experiences to customers. This can be achieved by integrating generative tool APIs into your digital products. For example, you can allow users to design their own creations within your app.

Consistency in Campaigns

Maintaining a uniform look in your campaigns is crucial for strengthening brand recognition and effectively conveying marketing messages. Relying solely on brand guidelines for designers or media partners may not be the most efficient way to ensure consistency in your marketing efforts.

Consider using text-to-image generators to create visuals that align with your brand and reflect corporate values. Frequent use of an AI model can help it learn and adhere to your brand guidelines.

🔧 AI Tools Spotlight

Microsoft Designer’s Image Creator

Microsoft Designer's Image Creator relies on DALL-E 3, OpenAI's leading image-generating model. It offers the same high-quality results as DALL-E but at no cost, allowing you to bypass the $20 monthly ChatGPT Plus fee for unlimited use.

A notable advantage of this AI generator is its integration with Microsoft's AI chatbot, Copilot (previously known as Bing Chat). This means you can request image generation directly within Copilot or through its standalone site. Simply ask Copilot to create the image you want. This setup is user-friendly, letting you handle all your image and chat needs in one place without charges. It's perfect for tasks that need both image and text generation. For example, you can plan a party by having the chatbot propose themes and then generate matching images.

Open AI’s DALL-E 3

DALL-E 3 offers improved capabilities over the original model, but unlimited access requires a ChatGPT Plus subscription at $20 per month. Once subscribed, you can use DALL-E 3 through ChatGPT or its app. The tool is user-friendly; simply input your prompt with as much detail as needed, and it will generate one or two images matching your request. As shown in the image at the top of the article, the results are high-quality and realistic.

OpenAI has introduced new editing options for the images, such as conversational text prompts and clickable areas for edits. Similar to Copilot, you can chat and create images on the same platform, making it convenient for projects needing both text and image generation.

Flux Image AI

Businesses aiming to create top-notch images for marketing, social media, or website content can benefit significantly from the tool’s quick production of commercial-grade visuals. Flux Image Generator distinguishes itself as a flexible AI tool that efficiently turns text prompts into high-quality images. It offers various options to meet different user demands, from fast image generation to detailed visual creation. Although the absence of pricing details might be a downside, its strengths in quality output, user-friendliness, and data security make it a valuable resource for creative professionals, businesses, educators, and students.

🚀 Quick Wins

• Know your Generator

  Numerous AI art tools are available, each using its own AI model. These tools deliver varied outcomes, so it's beneficial to know their strengths. For instance, many AI image generators struggle with creating realistic human hands.

  If you compare Midjourney v5 and DALL-E 2 for hand generation, Midjourney stands out with its beautifully crafted, imaginative scenes. However, it occasionally forgets the correct number of fingers a human should have.

• Use Outpaining

  DALL-E's Outpainting tool offers a great solution for the absence of upscaling options. Within the editor, the Outpainting feature allows you to add new AI-generated frames that seamlessly extend the original artwork. This technique lets you expand an image in any direction, increasing its overall size. If you haven't tried Outpainting in DALL-E, here's what you need to know.

  Also, it's not limited to images made with DALL-E. You can upload your own image, including those created with tools like Midjourney or NightCafe, and begin expanding the artwork beyond its initial boundaries.

• Changing Dimensions

  Consider moving beyond the standard 1:1 aspect ratio used by many generators to explore new image dimensions. Altering an image's dimensions can significantly affect its perception, much like how a movie gains a cinematic effect when viewed on a widescreen. In Midjourney, append --ar followed by the desired value, like --ar 3:4, to your prompt to adjust dimensions. While DALL-E lacks this feature, Outpainting can help modify dimensions as previously discussed. Other tools, such as Stable Diffusion, may offer a slider or various options to change the aspect ratio.

  Experimenting with different dimensions can enhance the creation of desktop and mobile screensavers, images tailored for websites, or concept art, among other applications.

💡 Pro Tip of the Day: Use Stable Diffusers

If you have someone with knowledge in AI, then you can try using Stable Diffusion.

Stable Diffusion is a type of AI model that creates unique, photo-realistic images using text and image prompts. It was first introduced in 2022. Beyond just images, this model can also be used to produce videos and animations.
