Hello everyone, today let's talk about how to generate images directly using AI in Photoshop.
First of all, the official announcement has been made that this feature will be provided in future versions of Photoshop, which is promising for the future. If you want to experience it in advance, you still have to rely on third-party experts.
Previously, there was a project with 3.7k stars, but it required local deployment and had high hardware requirements, which was too troublesome for beginners.
Today, I discovered a project called Alkaid.art, which has already been deployed on the server side, so we can use it directly. However, this plugin may vary from person to person, as some may find it simple while others may find it difficult.
Installation steps:
First, you need to install Photoshop, which is readily available everywhere. You can install version 23 or 24.
Then, we download the plugin, which supports both Windows and Mac. The official documentation is provided, just follow the instructions. It's as simple as double-clicking to start, and it will automatically install in Photoshop.
Open Photoshop, and you will see this plugin in the "Enhance" tools. Just register an account, but in the last step, it will ask for an activation serial number. This is free, but you need some magic to obtain it.
You need a Discord account and then visit this address to send a code. The bot will send you a serial number. After successful registration, you can use it directly.
Then, use the selection tool to drag out the atmosphere of the image you want to generate. Then enter the desired image in the prompt and click "Generate" at the bottom. The speed is quite fast. Adjust the remaining parameters according to your needs after translating them.
Other:
Now, let's talk about two unrelated topics. If you don't know anything about AI painting, I have categorized the bookmarks for AI painting tutorials. You can check them out in the beginner's tutorial section.
Also, the prompt words are not meant to be directly entered in Chinese characters. You need to use some convenient prompt word websites for better results. These websites can be understood as translation machines between you and AI. When we enter the image we imagine on the prompt word website, it will generate prompt words that AI can recognize. Then we can directly copy and paste them into the plugin.
There is also a point that many friends may encounter a pop-up window prohibiting the use of Photoshop. For Windows users, you can block internet access through the firewall. However, this method does not work on Mac. If needed, you can try Little Snitch, which can be easily resolved with just one click.
That's all I have to introduce to everyone. All the mentioned content has been packaged and can be found at the following link: [link]
