Unmesh Dinda from PiXimperfect has displayed the awesome power of artificially intelligent (AI) photo editing by creating a girlfriend that doesnt exist. <\/p>\n
Dindas convincing selfie of a loved-up couple on a city break even has extremely realistic lighting and shadows that fit perfectly within the photo. The only catch: Dinda is the only real human in the photo and the woman was created through the power of AI. <\/p>\n
If your relatives are more concerned about you getting married than you are, you need to send them a photo like this. This will keep them wondering for a while, Dinda says on his YouTube video. <\/p>\n
Last month, DALL-E announced that it will allow users to edit images with human faces after previously banning the practice. <\/p>\n
Dinda, who runs a photo editing YouTube channel, took advantage of the development to upload a selfie he took and then used the inpainting feature. Inpainting allows the user to erase part of the image and then guide DALL-E to fill that space by entering a text prompt. <\/p>\n
After erasing a girlfriend-size space in the image, Dinda types in man with girlfriend which generates a selection of fake partners.<\/p>\n
Once the AI girlfriend is selected, Dinda then uses the outpainting feature which extends the photo beyond its original border. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
DALL-E, and other AI-image generators, struggle to generate believable human faces. So, Dinda crops his girlfriends face and exports it into another AI-photo editing program called GFP-GAN which does a fantastic job of making the womans face much more realistic. The photo is then loaded into Photoshop and aligned over the original image to create a convincing AI partner. <\/p>\n
Show this photo to someone and ask them what was edited, it would be hard to tell in 90 percent of the cases, Dinda adds. <\/p>\n
Dinda also demonstrates how, by using the same techniques, photo editors can remove people with the help of AI. By inpainting over the person that is to be removed, DALL-E then generates a replacement in that space. And despite the complexity of the image, the AI creates a viable photo.<\/p>\n
For photographers who have ever spent a considerable about of time attempting to remove a complicated object or person from a photo; this technology is truly mindblowing. <\/p>\n
Specific human features can also be added, such as hair. Dinda demonstrates locks being added to Dwayne The Rock Johnson and DALL-E even creates a different shadow for the different hairstyles. <\/p>\n
