Monsters in Skógafoss: A Journey Across a Beautiful Glacier to a Wonderful Glacier with Generative Fill
If you’d like to visit a place where danger from the natural world is omnipresent and where lunch costs $60, I encourage you to visit Iceland. It is a beautiful and brutal landscape whose natural wonders (and terrors) make for incredible photographs. I took a bunch on a recent trip to the country. It is possible that they can be made terrifying in entirely new ways.
Adobe is getting a new tool that will allow users to quickly add or remove objects using text on screen. The feature Generative Fill is one of the first Creative Cloud applications to use Adobe’s artificial intelligence image generator Firefly. Adobe says a full release of Generative Fill will come later this year.
After messing around with it for just a few hours, it already looks like an impressive upgrade to the existing Content-Aware Fill tool in Photoshop. Take a look at how each one handled removing people from my photo of Skógafoss. It’s a hugely popular spot, so my photo naturally has a lot of people in front of the falls — here’s the original.
The Generative Fill image is more superior to Content-Aware. All I had to do was type in a few words, and wait a few seconds. That’s honestly kind of scary in itself.
But that’s just the beginning — if you really want to go for it, you can go for it. You will go to places with Generative fill. Let’s take a little journey from beautiful-yet-deadly waterfalls to a beautiful-yet-deadly glacier. Here’s what the valley carved out by the glacier actually looked like, and here’s what I got when I asked Generative Fill to make it even more ominous by adding a thunderstorm.
Oh wow, Generative Fill goes hard on the waterfall. It’s kind of phony looking, but plausible, I guess. Now, what if I ask for ponies in the foreground instead?
The world’s bleakest lemonade stand is Cool. Love it. How about we lighten up with something that couldn’t possibly conjure up horror? What about a rainbow in the sky with unicorns?
That rainbow is just a big “Nope” to the rest. Alright, Firefly? The people are in this photo at a black sand beach, and I want to remove them from the picture.
Icelandisa (Italy) Is a Picture Not Made by Artificial Intelligence. Is it real? The Icelandic case
Eh, it’s okay I guess. The whole country looks too beautiful to be real, but the area where the rocks meet the water looks fake and stretched. The phallic picture in this photo was not made by Artificial Intelligence. It just happens to be out there. You never know what you’re going to see next in Iceland.
You can download the Firefly alpha app or thedesktopbeta app to try outrative fill, which is only available in the current release of Photoshop. Adobe says we can expect to see a full release onto the public Photoshop app in “the second half of 2023.”
Such feats won’t be a huge surprise for creators familiar with AI image generation tools, but, as ever, it’s the integration of this technology into mainstream apps like Photoshop that bring them to a much wider audience.
“By integrating Firefly directly into workflows as a creative co-pilot, Adobe is accelerating ideation, exploration and production for all of our customers,” said Ashley Still, senior vice president, Digital Media at Adobe. Customers can bring their imaginations to life at the speed of their imaginations withrative fill, which combines the power of generative artificial intelligence with the precision of adobe illustrator.
