DALL·E 2
I’ve been photo editing a digital photo series I shot back in 2019 that will also entail 2D animations COMING SOON but have been having the toughest time finishing because I wanted to extend my hair length in every photograph but have it look “natural”. I have tried many ways & put many hours in & because each picture is shot on location, outside in different natural lighting in different locations & different angles it’s a daunting amount of work to edit each image layer by layer— so a friend recommended I try playing with DALL·E 2 as a “quick fix” for all my pictures…
…the results were
monstrous.
The original image — cropped— because I don’t want to give too much of the series away & also was hoping the Ai would read & edit just my “photo realistic portrait”.
The stuff of nightmares this is my 2nd new original image. The Ai was taking the hair info it had of my original image hair & trying to dye it pink —but never added length. Even when I erased my hair in DALL·E. So I tried erasing where I generally wanted my hair in the photograph & giving it similar prompts. This was my 2nd new original image.
On the left is the best result I was able to do with DALL·E & on the right was my current best outcome using photoshop.
I have yet to try making a special brush tool that mimics my hair to digitally hand-paint in hair — with these results I plan on trying that next. I am learning so much!
Make “Bad Art”
& enjoy the process!
