Hi all,

Thank you for all the posts this last week or so! It's so great to see the variety of topics up for discussion and the lively back and forth. 

For this week:

Let's try out image generators!

Share a Fall image that you create with an AI image generator

• • We don't have a budget, but if we do in the future, we'll be planning ahead for prizes! This time, you get bragging rights.

  • If you feel like it, let us know more about the image you post:

    • What tool did you use? 

    • What prompt did you input? 

    • If you did, how did you 'edit' the image by refining your prompt?

    • What do you think about the tool? Will you use it again?

OK - this image proved very challenging for both DALL-E and Midjourney - I wanted to generate an image of fall trees, with books instead of leaves, from which the pages were dropping like leaves, with librarians below raking up the pages.  This is the closest I could get to the vision - I very nearly logged off to go draw it myself!

I used Dall-e-3 through Chat GPT.  I'm going to cancel my Midjourney membership!

I wanted to try something a little wacky, so mine features an alien from outer space. I used Microsoft Designer (based on DALL-E 3).

My prompt:
A macro, detailed, hyper realistic portrait of an alien from outer space, peeking through foliage. The alien has glowing green eyes and is sitting on a bed of autumn leaves in a warm, cozy woodland clearing. The background is out of focus. The portrait is realistic with natural light. 

I like and use Microsoft Designer because it's so easy and always gives you 4 images to choose from at the first generation.

I didn't edit this image, just choose one of the 4 I liked best.
