I love the seasonal banner pics we have for scfz, but wouldn't it be fun to try mixing some visuals/frames from three or four films (from the same year, say 1931, or make a mix from a few radically different years/eras instead) into the one pic, using AI tools, to use as one of our banners?
i can't do that with the ai image generator i'm using. each one has its strengths....i think you can input images and then tweak generated ones in midjourney, but i haven't tried that.
the main advantage of bing is that it's free
and from reading online, and also what i also quickly discovered, is that you can't use existing images or recycle ones it generates for you, each image is a one-off, you can't add negative prompts (ie you can't exclude things) and it's designed to be really good with objects. which it is. for example, it LOVES the 'weird still life painting' genre, anyone can knock one of those out in one go:
apparently there's some trick to stop it chopping off the sides of images with its stupid aspect ratio, but i haven't figured it out yet.
and of course, everyone loves weird medieval monsters:
also, it likes detail. here's some psychedelic lichen i made after rewatching shepherd xeudi for the 73 poll:
but it is TERRIBLE with people. and even if you do manage to get someone that looks human, i think in AI world all the women are murdered at 30, i had to wrangle it for ages to get a woman not in excessive make-up, who was normal looking, or older than 20....
but apart from that, it is incredible really. and FREE. at the minute.
