Applies to. Does not apply to. We updated Core5 this summer, and system requirements changed. Older versions of the Core5 iPad app were retired in July You will no longer be able to use iPad versions below 4.
CLIP is an open-source neural network a freely available algorithm that learns about patterns in data by research lab OpenAI. The network is trained on image-caption pairings found on the internet, and can rate how well user-fed captions pertain to images.
To generate its artworks, the Dream model starts with a randomly-generated vector, a mathematical representation of an image. Each entry in the vector corresponds to a tiny detail of the image. Some might correspond to colour, some to shape, some to more abstract meaning.
Often, the random vector first corresponds with a grey blob of pixels. The user watches the algorithm conduct this process in real time; the app creates multiple images before the final product appears. The randomness of the process means that Dream never produces the same artwork twice. I ask Shahid why the app is called Dream.
The vector itself is not human-readable in any sense. Its model can now take prompts in a vast array of languages, including Japanese, Hindi, and Indonesian. The team is also experimenting with 3D animations of dreams so that users could walk through the dreams they create in virtual reality. While playing with different art styles in the app, I found myself returning to Etching and Baroque.
Etching seemed to essentialize the prompts, creating simple pieces with a nightmarish quality. Baroque, on the other hand, dazzled with convincing brushstrokes and the colour palette of the period. Some of the images, however, made me wonder about the possible repercussions of an app that produces representations based on the frequency of caption-image pairings on the internet.
The negative connotations are obvious. Iterations like these give us a first-hand glance into the current limits of AI creativity. This next step gives you a bunch of options. For a particular request, make sure you use a few simple words. The AI does its best to interpret them, but it may fall short sometimes.
Fortunately, you can keep trying the same combination until it produces something you like. You can also go for No Style and let Dream by Wombo find its own artistic vision. Either way, just tap the style you want, and its icon will activate. The Create button will also light up. Select it and the AI will start developing your artwork.
Expect every outcome to be abstract, and feel free to restart the process with the same prompt and art style. As a final touch, you can give your artwork a name and toggle whether you want the original prompt to be visible. Once the image is ready, you still have several options coming your way. To save it, you can go for the Download icon and store the JPG file on your device. You can also set it as your background.
Alternatively, tap Publish and add the new creation to your gallery. From there, you can connect with Wombo on Discord, Twitter, and Instagram, while sharing each artwork on any platform you want. Click it and choose where to send or post it. Finally, you have the option to purchase a physical copy of your artwork via the Buy Print button. While not an unreasonable price, you can make your own poster or canvas for less.
Just download the image before printing and framing it as you see fit. Despite the flaw of not always getting what you were hoping for, Dream by Wombo is a great AI app for creating quick and eye-catching artwork.
A popular app right now is Wombo , which I have on my iPhone. It crashes a lot, but still works. Update April Wombo continues to update its app, adding various new filters and, most recently, the ability to create art from an uploaded photo. Then I chose a filter and voila.
I got this. Pretty impressive, eh? But after a while, you realise Wombo has its limits. Only about half of their filter options look good in my opinion. It turns humans into dark hooded creatures, and text into cool, otherwordly symbolism.
Wombo does an especially good job of cities at night. They can make a great job of a city at night because of all those bright squares and signs. They do not care if your human eye has a place to settle. Anyway, those hooded creatures clearly needed to be turned into monsters, and those lines in front were clearly steps into hell, so I spent about an hour fiddling with it in Artrage and ended up with this:.
And honestly? It felt great to be mucking around on some low stakes piece. This layer addict even kept it all on one layer. Wombo can be excellent as an actual, legitimate art software for making actual proper art if you use it for inspiration. The downside to Wombo is: synonyms. Which is how I got this, I think:.
The signage even looks like marbled meat. I could turn that into a fantasy night market at some point. I have used it quite a bit to make abstract collages. I might generate images in Wombo, cut out the pieces I like and put them together in a new way. There are a few tricks to Wombo. If one of your keywords refers to some type of container, it tends to use the container as a border for the rest of the art. I quickly craved more control over the output. So I went looking for other AI options.
Turns out Wombo was my gateway drug into AI generated art. We are just a small team of enthusiasts who are trying to build something cool. Our goal is to make latest developments in AI widely and easily accessible. Deep Dream Generator works differently from Wombo.
If you plan to make art to sell, you need to have the rights to both base image and style image. You can probably guess what that means. If you want to end up with a picture of a horse, the base image will be of a horse. Ideally, this style image will have the same basic tonality to the base image of the horse. The same sort of lights and darks. If possible, both base and style images should be the same dimension.
Both images should be high resolution. If there are unwanted words, artifacts and borders in either image, get rid of those before you upload them. I use Affinity Photo a lot for this. Deep Dream Generator does well with base images which cover the entire canvas in detail.
It can do great painterly landscapes. Note that the generator will almost certainly put artifacts in the sky if the sky is clear. Whistler, Clarice Marjoribanks Beckett et al. Interiors generally contain large areas of blankness tables, walls, floors. It does its very best work in my opinion when the close up has a clean background. That means black or white. If you upload a.
I made a bunch of portraits for authors Janet Frame and John Cheever using this method. I made a few manual modifications to those pictures. Teeth also need to be whitened. For instance. Humans care about eyes. Artificial intelligence does not prioritise eyes over other roundy-shaped things. But not much! I can do 10 of these portraits in a day using Deep Dream Generator.
But creating all of those beautiful wrinkles would take me an entire day for a single one. But for me it took more like a week and a lot more than five dreams. It means you can make two good or four pretty rubbish dreams at once, then wait until the points get back up to a maximum of fifteen or twenty or whatever. Hence the minus five at the bottom. This process is akin to colouring in, with the same Zen to it.
The following two images were processed with very similar photographs and the exact same style image. Hopefully this clarifies the difference. Here is the style image, a travel poster from the Golden Age. The Extra Smooth option uses a few extra energy points. Most people keep the style weight at fifty percent. A pretty unremarkable photo of a pond. Like so:. But what if I want the shapes of that pond to morph a bit? Now the generator takes the shapes and morphs them into each other a bit.
The difference is very subtle. Why is the difference between these two boat pictures so noticeable when bumping up the style weight, and not with the image of the lake? Here are two images which I tried to blend. I used this stock image of some surgeons as a base:. Now here it is again but the only thing I changed on the second go-around was the iterations boost, which I upped to x2.
This costs more energy points. Not necessarily. Alternatively, you can have a go at using a noise reduction filter in art software. That said, Topaz works far better than any noise reduction in my art software. You may have noticed another few options for making art with this website. One of them is Thin Style. To me it looks like a commonly used and pretty ugly Photoshop filter, though others may get better results from it.
The other option is Deep Dream. This is just weird. I put in an owl and it turned some of its feathers into dogs for no reason at all. Its eyeball is… a fish? This Reddit thread is currently challenging users to change Wombo art into something that looks more like a painting.
Now for the style image. This looks a little more interesting. I only spent five minutes on these colours, but now I can see how the Deep Dream Generator can be useful in the process of creating digital line drawings, which look mighty ugly at first.
But when I used a highly detailed style image of some houses, one of which was facing the same general direction as the line drawing house, I got this:. Using 20th century fine art of houses I also got these:. First I made the photo as high-res as I could get it in Topaz Gigapixel. I used a painting by Walter Farndon because that also has boats in it, and the basic colours I want.
This has an iterations boost of 1. Everything else is left on the default settings. If you want, tidy up the painting in Affinity Photo or Photoshop using the original photo as your reference. It might look great with a bit of white linework. But this looks good enough to me. We get the general idea of s Wellington. This is a portrait of Polish painter Tamara de Lempicka , circa Tamara looks quite a lot like her subjects. What happens if I apply de Lempicka style to the artist herself using Dream Generator?
Combining the two images above using 1. So I put it back into Affinity Photo and made it look darker and smoother. I also fixed the hand manually, and took the yellow out of her skin tone etc. The more I use this generator, the more I understand how poorly it does when the base image contains little contrast. Take the following photo of a cottagey home interior. I wanted to turn it into something more painterly.
So inside my photo software, I added a black and white adjustment layer to the photo. It was immediately clear just how little tonal contrast this lovely cottagey interior actually has, despite those colourful flowers and all that detail. So I added a curves adjustment layer, pulling down in the middle to increase the black.
Using the exact same style painting by Takanori Oguisu, this time the generator gives me something far closer to what I want:. Long story short, if your base image contains little contrast, fix that first in your photo software. But of course no two prompts generate the same image. So you can keep asking for a new image from the same prompt until you like the look of what you see. That said, actual artists should have less to worry about.
Longer, more complex prompts seem to confound it. So the quality of the output can depend on what you ask it to draw. By the end of last month more than 10 million images had already been generated by users. While the Google Play app has had over 1 million downloads already, a month or so after launch.
Albeit, most people have finite wall space on which to hang any kind of art, let alone imagery generated by, er, a mindless machine — so most of these random creations will stay firmly virtual. But results can also be rather queasy — or derivative — or naff — or just plain odd.
And, well, is it art? Or is it just a visual output of a mathematical process?
