Professional content can be intimidating when you have never tried something yourself.
I share with you my own first baby steps into the new world (which will very soon be the new normal).
The following pictures show the results for the (very rudimentary) prompt:?
"realistic photography of a marshmallow with a happy face, arms and legs are handdrawn black lines, standing on a wooden floor, in the background a pastel blue wall"
The first thing I tried was "dream by?WOMBO.ai". I didn't download an app or register. One has 200 characters for a text input (prompt). Then one selects one from the given styles and clicks 'Create'. One can save the visual result and use it as one pleases.
Then I tried "Craiyon???(Formerly DALL-E Mini)". After entering the prompt, nine images are created. All nine visual results can be saved and used as desired.
Now "YouImagine" by?You.com?(an AI search engine). You may sign in with Apple or Google or sign up. After entering the prompt, an image is created. As with any similar platform, the result is different every time. The visual result can be saved and used as you wish.
And "Stable Diffusion Online" by?Stability AI. No log in necessary in the "Stable Diffusion Playground". One prompt leads to four images. Just try it out.
Finally "DALL-E 2" from?OpenAI. You may sign in with Google or a Microsoft account or sign up. After entering the prompt, an image is created. As with any similar platform, the result is different every time. You can save the visual result and use it as you wish.
Remember my very basic prompt? Better prompts are written like this:?"The Anatomy of an AI Art Prompt. A Practical Guide To Prompt Crafting" by?Medium
Try it! Have fun and thank you for sharing this article.
