“A Gray Heron in flight, captured against a clear, azure sky. The bird is seen diagonally from the right side from above with the camera above the bird and pointing from top to bottom. The bird’s plumage displays a gradient of colors; its upper wings and back are predominantly slate gray with touches of dark blue, creating a textured detailed appearance, and the underwings show a stark contrast with bright white feathers. The bird’s long, S-shaped neck and pointed beak are streamlined, head gently curved. The bird’s wings are fully extended, showcasing aerodynamic design. The composition is a medium shot, conveying a sense of dynamic movement. The background is a flawless blue gradient, giving focus to the heron. The atmosphere exudes a sense of tranquility and freedom. Photorealistic style, with emphasis on natural colors and detailed textures.”
In bold is the text I added manually afterwards, which ultimately led to the “top” view (including the changed name of the bird; it also incorrectly used the name “Great Blue Heron”, but it’s a Grey Heron). It’s hard to say what was significant and what was just ballast. The truth is that the result is a little tilted compared to the original. I forgot to add the “Position of the bird’s body is unchanged” line, which usually helps. But the change is only small. The heron was flying into a sharp turn, so its top was tilted towards me.
The camera placement trick is pretty good. The heron doesn’t have exactly the same wing angle/position as the original, but it’s not a big deal. The final result is nice.
Sometimes the prompt works perfectly. I envied Harald’s lions without bars, so I tried something similar. It’s not a lion, it’s a nice dog that I walk past every summer. The dog watches what’s going on behind the fence and when it gets a toll (the currency is biscuits), it happily allows passage around. I wanted an image without a wire fence, so I tried Gemini and entered just a simple prompt for testing:
Behind the wire fence stands the dog Gery. He is photographed from the side. The dog is a village mixed breed of indeterminate race. The wire fence has been removed and does not obscure the view of the dog.
Mostly ballast, but the last sentence obviously worked great. I supplemented the result with gigapixel-redefine-realistic. Beautiful Gery, isn’t he?
A grey squirrel on a stump eating mushrooms. His tail is held above him. The wire mesh pattern behind him is removed without losing the beautiful fur detail in the tail or the tree bark in the backdrop
I remember your squirrel. Working with the thin fibers of fur and the fine mesh in the background is certainly much more challenging than with the bars or that fence.
Are any of you seeing image shifts when using the prompted AI models?
At Adobe MAX & Ps Virtual Summit some of the AI demos showed pretty significant image shifts (when areas of a image were selected for AI revs vs all) that the users had to then transform & align to match surroundings that weren’t selected for AI adjustments.
Yes, you are right, simple phrases are typically enough. Artistic descriptions with many words and not always clear relationships between them can be easily misunderstood (and not only by AI ).
One interesting little thing: Down below, under Gery’s front paws, the bottom metal fence-post remained. Mine isn’t there – I have no idea why. Not that it matters, but why isn’t it there in my case and is it there in yours?
Ah yes, I hadn’t noticed it wasn’t there in your version. It’s not a problem though; a quick touch of the AI eraser tool in Photoshop and it’ll be fixed .
That being said, when I compare my version with yours, I feel like mine has more detail. Especially the collar with the stitching.
Here’s a significantly improved version. I didn’t even use Redfine. I only used Standard, Fidelity, Standard Max, and Wonder. And also certain areas of the original with the mesh, particularly the collar and some micro-details of the wooden structure on the left of the photo.
Yes, you have more details there. In my version, I was bothered by the fact that at the bottom edge, where the pole was, it cut off the tops of some flowers and grass. (Originally I was just trying to remove the fence as easily as possible and was surprised how nicely the wire fence disappeared.) On behalf of Gery, I pass on the barking of thanks!
