I'm looking around for software to generate AI "photographs" from text descriptions. I've been hearing alot about it lately but have no idea what software is being used.
TIA.

Is that what the Adobe Firefly beta is all about?

Adobe Photoshop Elements also has AI qualities to it I find interesting...Julian
I found Dreamstudio easy to use.
For me, photography is all about the process. Why would anyone who loves taking--making--images want to give that up?

Trying something new doesn't mean we are required to give up taking and making our own.
AI-generated work can be a starting point for other creative processes in photo editing software, a fun and rewarding hobby in itself!
Dall-E-2 (
https://openai.com/dall-e-2/ ). When you go in, you apply for access and it may take a week or two for access to be granted. Here are examples that I made, along with the sentence that was used. You can be amazingly specific, specifying any artistic style or photographic style. You can also upload a picture and have it change it. A quirk is that it often messes up faces.

There are so many of them now, with new ones seemingly coming online every day, that I would just Google "AI image generators" and start playing with them. Dall-E2 and Midjourney are probably the most well known at this point.
Adobe's new one, Firefly, currently in beta, has just been released and has a waiting list. Upon further development, it will probably be integrated into Adobe programs like Photoshop. That might be mildly exciting, but the whole rush to make pictures out of nothing doesn't interest me much, because I am a photographer. Adobe at least has limited its training images to their own licensed stock and voluntary submissions, instead of using copyrighted images gleaned from everywhere without permission.

Ad campaigns that call for generic images of generic people and places will likely benefit from this technology some day, and put some commercial photographers and designers out of work. Stock photography may cease to exist in the way it does now. But how is an image generator going to make that family reunion portrait at Uncle Bob's place next summer?
Photography will never have to be "given up" for those who want to be where the picture was made, and depict the scene as it existed in realty.
Will it produce an income?
Million dollar photos?
Is it a time consuming process?
My thought was to use it to generate concept art for a screenplay, almost like a storyboard generator. Using some of the free generators it seems that, either my ability to describe a scene in text is limited, or the volume of art which the generator is referencing is limited. I seemed to get very similar results for the rather esoteric query I posed.
I tried a couple of the free HTML based ones that others have mentioned and then also Midjourney.
Midjourney seems to be one of the most advanced. It has a free trial period before you have to pay. I thought it was only functional through a Discord server but I think I just saw that an API was released.
