You should make some. It’s really easy. Just learn a bit about effective prompt writing for ai.
Midjourney ai will give you the best results but it’s all text to image generation. “Girl with black hair sitting on a cliff looking out over a cyber punk city scape, vapor wave colors, anime art”
You of course can describe what ever you like and it will give you several vs. you can also have it touch up those vs.
Runway ai has both text to image and image to image. Upload a pic of what you want yourself or your partner or your dog, and write the prompt. Change the sliders to emphasize the promo or the original photo. It will also give you multiple options. Both are $10-$15 a month.
Watch some videos and have unlimited custom background artwork specially made for your vision.
Better yet, use EasyDiffusion.
It's a one-click install, especially for Linux.
(I'd recommend setting it up in Distrobox for a cleaner environment.)
It runs local on your GPU. So, if you need heating, you can just use your PC now for the winter 😁
I will have to check that out. I tried a few local ai but my computer doesn’t handle them well. Love system 76 but their os is miles ahead of their builds ha ha. When I finish refurbishing my tower I’ll give that a shot.
You can still try it. On a not-as-powerful PC it will take a bit longer of course, the only thing I would recommend having is a GPU.
On a CPU it will take literally ages to create one picture, speaking from experience.
Just give it a try. Even if your laptop is a bit underpowered, half an hour for a set isn't a huge problem. Just go cooking or showering in the meantime and let it process in the meanwhile 😁
Thanks!
