Creative director Wes Phelan shared this charming little summary of how he creates kids’ books & games using DALL•E, including their newly launched outpainting support:

Goose Pilates!
Happy Friday. 😅
DALL•E outpainting arrives
Let the canvases extend in every direction! The thoughtfully designed new tiling UI makes it easy to synthesize adjacent chunks in sequence, partly overcoming current resolution limits in generative imaging:
Here’s a nice little demo from our designer Davis Brown, who takes his dad Russell’s surreal desert explorations to totally new levels:
Using DALL•E for generative fashion design
Amazing work from the always clever Karen X. Cheng, collaborating with Paul Trillo & others:

Speaking of Paul here’s a fun new little VFX creation made using DALL•E:
AI is going to change VFX. This is a silly little experiment but it shows how powerful dall-e 2 is in generating elements into a pre existing video. These tools will become easier to use so when spectacle becomes cheap, ideas will prevail#aiart #dalle #ufo @openaidalle #dalle2 pic.twitter.com/XGHy9uY09H

Google DreamBooth puts your dog in space
I… I just can’t handle it: this tech is advancing so fast, my hair is whipping back. 😅
My old teammate Yael Pritch & team have announced DreamBooth: by providing 3-5 images of a subject, you can fine-tune a model of that subject, then generate variations (e.g. changing the environment and context).
The creative possibilities are just bonkers.
Photoshop previews new AI-powered photo restoration
Eng manager Barry Young writes,
The latest beta build of Photoshop contains a new feature called Photo Restoration. Whenever I have seen new updates in AI photo restoration over the last few years, I have tried the technology on an old family photo that I have of my great great great grandfather. A Scotsman who lived between 1845-1919. I applied the neural filter plus colorize technique to update the image in Photoshop. The restored photo is on the left, the original on the right. It is really astonishing how advanced AI is becoming.

Alpaca brings Stable Diffusion to Photoshop 🔥
I don’t know much about these folks, but I’m excited to see that they’re working to integrate Stable Diffusion into Photoshop:
You can add your name to the waitlist via their site. Meanwhile here’s another exploration of SD + Photoshop:
🤘Death Metal Furby!🤘
See, isn’t that a more seductive title than “Personalizing Text-to-Image Generation using Textual Inversion“? 😌 But the so-titled paper seems really important in helping generative models like DALL•E to become much more precise. The team writes:
We ask: how can we use language-guided models to turn our cat into a painting, or imagine a new product based on our favorite toy? Here we present a simple approach that allows such creative freedom.
Using only 3-5 images of a user-provided concept, like an object or a style, we learn to represent it through new “words” in the embedding space of a frozen text-to-image model. These “words” can be composed into natural language sentences, guiding personalized creation in an intuitive way.
Check out the kind of thing it yields:
“Curt Skelton,” homebrew AI influencer
[Update: Seems that much of this may be fake. :-\ Still, the fact that it’s remotely plausible is nuts!]
Good lord (and poor Conan!). This creator used:
- DALL•E to create hundreds of similar-looking images of a face
- Create Skeleton to convert them into a 3D model
- DeepMotion.com to generate 3D body animation
- Deepfake Lab to generate facial animation
- Audio tools to deepen & distort her voice, creating a new one
