Not content to let Adobe & ChatGPT have all the fun, Google is now making its Imagen available to developers for image synthesis, including inserting items & expanding images:
We’re also adding advanced photo editing features, including inpainting and outpainting.
These features make it easy to remove unwanted elements, include new ones, and expand the borders of images to create a wider field of view. → https://t.co/Cbz4Pajkch #GoogleCloudNext pic.twitter.com/SRsEQjHWD5

Imagen, Google’s text-to-image mode, can now create live images from text, in preview. Just imagine generating animated images such as GIFs from a simple text prompt… Imagen also gets advanced photo editing features, including inpainting and outpainting, and a digital watermarking feature powered by Google DeepMind’s SynthID.
I’m eager to learn more about the last bit re: content provenance. Adobe has talked a bunch about image watermarking, but has not (as far as I know) shipped any support.
Meanwhile Google is also challenging Runway, Pika, & others in the creation of short video clips:
Our generative technology Imagen 2 can now create short, 4-second live images from a single prompt.
It’s available to use in @GoogleCloud’s #VertexAI platform. → https://t.co/CLMN3wNmeP #GoogleCloudNext pic.twitter.com/B4RocdDXrk
