At the end of my February 5 blog post, I promised to keep you posted on my ongoing attempts to improve my hellebore painting with AI Image generation software.
Using Adobe Firefly™ I started with the instruction: purple hellebores about 10 inches high with light dusting of snow and evergreen forest background
Which yielded the above suggestions.
Without pointing out that if I’d wanted magenta hellebores I’d have said
so, I continued the operation using only the first picture. (or not, as it turned out)
I uploaded my original hellebore painting as a composition reference. Then I asked for some special effects ̶ baroque, geometric, doodle and science fiction. Here’s what I got instead.
They all seem to be edging toward the composition I requested… but have
lost their forest backgrounds! And their
baroque, geometric, doodle and science fiction instructions.
Apparently I still have to ‘educate’ the Firefly AI using my language and my pictures.
Or I can admit defeat and just use Adobe Photoshop™ (see above). I’ll try again, probably not with Firefly, and keep you posted.
