I'm so loving Playground ai. So much improvement every time. Smart choices of filter and model

[@playgroundai]

Appreciate the kind words and support! 🙌

Much earlier than expected! Wow. Thank you guys for that update! 🤗 That sounds great. I will give it a try the next days. 🤓👍🎉

​​@@playgroundai, My first impression of the new Erase/Inpaint functionality is impressive. Erase works much better than before, although it may take more than one attempt. Finally Erase ist doing whats expected. Inpaint also performs better, but it requires more tries, and success isn't guaranteed. Adjusting eyes and mouths for direction or expression proved challenging. Changing the gaze significantly or adapting one eye to match the other is almost impossible. Despite these challenges, I consider the Inpaint-Update a significant improvement and will continue experimenting. However, the Safety Filter is now triggering intervention in the inpainting functions as well, even with a simple prompt like "closed lips". This (filter) is ridiculous in my opinion. But besides that, big compliment for all the "small" updates you are launching quietly every week. And, of course, for this update. 👍

[@nn-db4fw]

Fantastic! Love this new upgrade as it will make me create even more spectacular pictures. Keep up the good work, I'll be here for the foreseeable future! :)

[@playgroundai]

Appreciate it!

[@user-zr2gu2gg6w]

Thanks for the update and the tips. You offer a huge amount on your site that as easy as it is to use Playground there is so much you offer that it is a lot to take in. As a newbie have one major problem - keeping up with all the improvements. Luckily your tutorials are very clear and concise.

[@playgroundai]

We appreciate it! Yes the industry moves really fast and of course we are always looking to improve Playground as much as possible. It will only get better!

[@GryphonDes]

So much fun!

Hello PlaygroundAI team, thank you very much for the helpful videos, they are always very helpful and I am really excited about the tool. Your support is also great, I always get an answer straight away.

[@playgroundai]

Glad you are finding the videos helpful and enjoying playground! 🙌☺

Hi, very nice tutorial. I'm struggling with inpaint feature: most of times it draws nothing. These are the steps that I follow: I start with importing an image from my pc, set the image strenght to 100, and click generate to create the same image on the canvas. Next I go to the inpaint tool, mask the area that I want to edit and describe something, than generate, but after loading nothing happens. I tried changing prompts and Inpaint Image Strenght setting in many ways but I always get the same result.

[@nks-nqn-xs4yd]

gracias!😀

[@playgroundai]

You’re welcome!

[@trevormoz]

Can't wait for that next video with adding multiple characters/items from other images into one. I would also like to see an existing character and be able to keep the character but change the pose. I've played with the control traits pose feature but am not having good results. I love the site and the helpful instruction videos!

[@playgroundai]

This is a heavily requested topic and for full transparency it's difficult to do currently but we are looking at ways to make consistency easier for people. With that being said there are some things that we can do to get us close but would require some post production.

[@tommarvel9442]

@@playgroundai Character consistency is definitely one of the biggest and desirable wants from many users. I saw another competing site has a feature they call "face lock" where once the Ai generates an image of a person (or you upload a pic of someone) you turn on this face lock feature and then any future generations will keep that face. I think their software superimposes the face onto the output. Having tested it, the results are mixed since the hairstyle doesn't stay consistent and sometimes the face is blurry for no reason I can figure out.

[@staydoogan]

Playground is incredibly productive! Wait... You're not all AI, right? 😆

[@playgroundai]

Our cover is blown! 😁

[@RodriguezCarlitos-hd7ti]

Thanks for the updates! I like that you keep an ear to the ground when it comes to the community! Is their also a way to take my sketch and place it in a color scheme from another sketch or photo? Past attempts have given me the color scheme but with the colors thrown around haphazardly. Thanks again!

[@playgroundai]

Not at the moment other than manually doing it however "style transfer" is something we are looking at closely for 2024. 👍 Depending what it is though, theoretically you can import an image as an "img2img" reference and use the colors from that to influence the look of the generation. Not exactly the same thing but it's something.

[@RodriguezCarlitos-hd7ti]

@@playgroundai Cool! I know it’s a work in progress! Thanks for the response!

[@firecatcher91]

I have a huge trouble with inpainting, and it very often does nothing, especially now with the newest update, I don't have the same features what has been presented here.

[@howardwang3016]

That's great! Playground has been updated again, and I noticed that Canvas now provides commonly used aspect ratios for generating images. The explanation of the updated Impaint feature was also fantastic and really helpful to me! I have a small suggestion-could you please share some techniques for drawing different ethnicities in an appealing way? I've noticed that Playground creates excellent portraits of individuals from European or American backgrounds effortlessly. However, when it comes to drawing Asians, East Asians (like Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Malaysian, Filipino), the results tend to appear distorted or unattractive. Perhaps it's because I haven't yet mastered the drawing techniques! I'd appreciate some guidance on this. Thank you!🤓

[@playgroundai]

I have content lined up on this topic, hopefully it can help you. Are you taking about the faces in general?

[@howardwang3016]

Primarily, I'm referring to facial features, and of course, clothing as well. For instance, when I'm drawing a scene about ice sculpting and I want to depict various East Asian individuals-men, women, couples, children, elderly, farmers, goddesses, gods, and so on-after providing these descriptions, the characters portrayed seem distinctly European or American. Even the goddesses and gods end up resembling Roman-style deities, haha. Another example is drawing a handsome man reading a newspaper in a café. Without specifying ethnicity, the character generated is likely to be of European or American descent. However, if I specify an Asian individual, the resulting appearance might not exude the same level of attractiveness. Perhaps AI's interpretation of what constitutes an attractive appearance for Asians differs from human perceptions.🤗@@playgroundai

[@mayurshri]

With all the updates. I learning more and more and with your tutorials it seems so easy to play around. I have a question is there a way of creating infinite Zoom images like that of mid journey?. Any work around or procedure to create that in play ground. Thanks in advance.

[@playgroundai]

Glad the tutorials are helpful! Unfortunately there is no way to achieve the infinite zoom like on MJ since we're hyper focused on imaging. We're also not trying to be like them either. But our hope is to be a powerful AI image editing tool and our team has been working hard on that. Who knows what the future holds?

[@lukas.frunek]

This is awesome! May I ask, what is the difference between Inpaint, Instruct to edit, and Draw to edit?

[@playgroundai]

Draw to edit you need to use the brush tool+prompt to create something, in a sense you are adding pixels by drawing. Inpainting and instruct to edit are kind of similar. Inpaint can create more details with a mask based on the prompt which can be very detailed whereas instruct to edit also uses a mask but is more of a simpler editor and prompted more simply. I know it's confusing to have both and we likely will remove instruct to edit eventually once we're completely happy with inpainting.

[@Otchengazoom]

Hello, sir. Your ai tools work amazing! I need to create some text logo variations for print on the t-shirts. Could you give me some basic insights how to do that using the options of Playground? Thank you.

[@playgroundai]

You can start with this video. Prompting text is still quite difficult but you can use controlnet. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4jEaHWietWIn68si=Oy4WfPuwh3AB67DR

[@Devinop]

Hi. How to select Inpant tool? The first step. I can not find in in my browser... Or it is for Pro users only (with subscripsion)?

[@Dreamseerapp]

Amazing work guys! Best AI tool out there for visual artists.

[@playgroundai]

Thanks so much we appreciate the support!

[@MissChelle]

Pretty Please remember us iPad & tablet users. I would love for you provide alternatives to the keyboard shortcuts ❤️🇦🇺

[@playgroundai]

We haven't forgotten but I can tell you that we're still a small team so resources is a main factor, we really have a heavy focus on making the desktop version robust so our focus is still very much on desktop platforms. With that being said, we'll have to see what our priorities will be like in 2024.

[@mohamedraouf5514]

thank u so much but i cant't copy and paste to make the group >> when i do copy and paste it just do NOTHING !! PLS HLP

[@playgroundai]

Are you using google chrome? Playground is optimized for chrome. Also make sure you are selecting both images then CTRL+C, CTRL+V

[@caglarsozutek1629]

when ı use inpainting writing ''safety issue detecded'' ''your edit may have inclueded unsafe content.'' ''please adjust the prompt or seed'' ???

[@howardwang3016]

I actually tried using SDXL+Realistic Stock Photo to generate some portraits, but most of the hands turned out to be deformed. I attempted to fix them using the Impaint function, but the results weren't satisfactory. The hands couldn't be repaired naturally. I'm not sure if it's due to my incorrect prompts or my lack of expertise in using the tool. Could you create another video discussing techniques for fixing hand imperfections? Thank you!😇

[@playgroundai]

I'll be doing a video on hands soon. It's tricky honestly but very doable as I've done it many times. Basically you have to start with a good model that does hands well and you would need a decent generation. Then you would upscale a cropped version of the hand via img2img and then edit it into the original image. You can also use ControlNet for better accurate hands. I know it's tough to imagine but again video to come soon. 👍

[@howardwang3016]

I'm really looking forward to this episode of your video!🤩@@playgroundai

[@kemikemi756]

What I have problem with is to add objects that are not yet in the painting

[@playgroundai]

You can play with the image strength and prompt guidance. If the masking doesn't work maybe deleting the area will work better. It may take a few tries. However it might be easier to use "draw to edit" to create something. I have a follow up video on this coming soon.

[@TheWiseOwlsNest]

Hi, why the inpaint button is inactivated, I mean when i press it , nothing happens?

[@playgroundai]

You mean the tool isn't active? Or nothing happens when you inpaint?

[@TheWiseOwlsNest]

Nothing happens when I press inpaint, not even pulsating the masked area@@playgroundai

[@playgroundai]

Are you new to playground? Try going into your settings, top left menu, settings>preferences>reset. See if that works. Also Playground is optimized with google chrome browser.

[@TheWiseOwlsNest]

Thank you for your reply. not new new to playground but first time using inpaint, reset didn't help, yes using chrome@@playgroundai

[@TheWiseOwlsNest]

Am I missing something in the setting?@@playgroundai

[@jackcleveland1175]

By the time you finished noodling the image with repeated infills, you could have just done yourself in far less time.
