A daft laugh with Photoshop's new AI features (Patreon)

The new Photoshop beta has the Adobe Firefly AI features built in so I have been playing with them. While obviously I fear AI taking my job (and everyone else's) I do think it has a significant role as a visual aide when built into software when you, like me, are not the absolute king of visual imagination. While its efforts to rework my characters were predictably not great, when I gave it panels to to extend, I found the results quite interesting. So here are a few for your amusement.

It struggled with my request for "long, beautiful hair" for Claire but, I mean, it halfway got there.

As for Lottie, well, I guess we know who it is...

So far, so amusant. But then I gave it backgrounds to work on and you begin to see the magic at work. First, Claire's room seems to go on forever...

And here's a sneak peek at Steeple 17: COMPUTER ENHANCED. Warning: this panel is not actually this exciting.

I particularly like this one.

Now, do you remember "Christmas With Clovis"? You could never have imagined what lay beyond the panel edge...

I was quite impressed that it managed to finish Maggie's leg below, which was cropped at the panel edge. Worryingly convincing J. Allison leg.

Finally, Billie's Brian-fooling fake sabbat from Steeple Lite. Squint, and this is extremely convincing.

Bear in mind: this is the original...

Fun, right? Nightmarish fun!
