Introduction to New Intelligence ElementStabilityAI zooms in again, UncropClipdrop expands and reconstructs images with one click, and PhotoshopGenerativeFill replaces it for free.

Previously, the reconstruction image function of PS was extremely exciting, making countless people exclaim

Today, StabilityAI has scaled up its moves again. It collaborated with Clipdrop to launch UncropClipdrop, the ultimate image scale editor.

From the name Uncrop, we can see its purpose.

It is an AI generated "exterior drawing" tool that can supplement any existing photos or images by creating extended backgrounds to change the scale of any image.

Knock on the blackboard: Through the Clipdrop website, you can try out this tool for free without logging in!

Adjust the ratio arbitrarily until satisfied

Uncrop is built based on StabilityAI's text to image model, StableDiffusionXL.

Through advanced algorithms and deep learning techniques, Uncrop automatically analyzes the content in uploaded images and generates visually reasonable outputs.

This has solved the urgent needs of many graphic artists and painters.

I took a nearly perfect photo, but the composition was not satisfactory. What should I do? Uncrop gives you one click solution!

Many times, in order to display an image on a banner or large canvas, we need to adjust the image size to the appropriate size, without distortion or losing important details. Uncrop completely solves this problem.

Do you want to change the horizontal image to a vertical image? Uncrop helps you worry.

Vertical view to horizontal view? It's also as easy as palm of hand.

Photos with inappropriate proportions can be freely scaled to the desired scale.

However, Uncrop also has its own limitations.

If it is an extreme uncut image or an image with a large amount of missing content, it will produce inaccurate results.

Therefore, we need to ensure the high quality of the original image as much as possible in order to achieve the best results.

In addition, Uncrop relies on algorithms to analyze surrounding pixels and fill in gaps, and its accuracy may vary depending on the complexity of the scene.

Effect demonstration

Netizens shared examples of their own exterior painting effects:

Hands-on experience

Seeing the effect so good, the editor couldn't help but itch his hand and immediately took a wave of actual measurements.

The practical experience is that the operation is very convenient.

As shown in the GIF above, select an image and drag it to the designated area on the page.

You can choose the range you want to expand as shown in the following picture, and then wait for a few seconds. The platform will generate 4 expanded images for you to choose and save.

And it can also be reprocessed by combining a generated image with Clipdrop's AI retouching.

Sharpening.

Let AI perform style reconstruction on the processed images.

After several AI doll generation processes, images have not only been expanded, but can also undergo thorough "evolution" in style and content according to the specific needs of users.

At this point, it's time for designers to unleash their creativity!

We have also conducted some tests on portraits, sports scenes, and still life scenes.

Expansion effect

The expanded part of the effect is indeed quite natural.

However, because Prompt cannot be used to guide the direction, the expansion effect is relatively random.

Reconstruction effect

The old problem of generating character images with AI has not been solved satisfactorily with fingers.

And after the reconstruction, there was a slight issue with the body proportion of the little sister, and her appearance also felt reduced.

However, after reconstruction, the lines become more distorted, and the overall style of the screen will undergo significant changes.

After the reconstruction, the main body has disappeared, leaving only dynamic blurry images, and AI is not yet good at grasping the key points of the content.

When I try to make a landscape photo expand into a Zhang Quanjing photo.

I found that for the parts that have already been extended, the extension function of Uncrop cannot continue to play with dolls.

Open source version SD-XL

In April, StabilityAI began testing StableDiffusionXL to the public.

It is worth mentioning that the open source SD-XL has already reached the level of Midjournal, and can perform better in image details and almost completely controllable.

The specific information about the StableDiffusionXL model has not been disclosed much by the government. Currently, it is only known that it is a model with a similar architecture to the v2 model, but larger scale and parameter quantity.

SD-V2.1 includes 900 million parameters, while SD-XL has approximately 2.3 billion parameters. Emad stated that the official version may release an additional smaller distilled version.

The improvements of SD-XL compared to the previous version are as follows:

• Use a shorter descriptive prompt to generate high-quality images

• Can generate images that are more in line with the prompt

• The human body structure in the image is more reasonable

• Compared to v2.1 and v1.5 versions (to a lesser extent), the images generated by SD-XL are more in line with public aesthetics

• Negative prompt is optional

• The generated portrait image is more realistic

• Clear text in images

Replace PSGenerativeFill for free

Functionally, Uncrop is very similar to PhotoshopGenerativeFill.

The essential function is to use AI to create image content in designated locations.

However, compared to Uncrop, PSGF can not only expand images, but also create images at designated locations according to requirements.

If users want to make more precise modifications to the details of the image, PSGF still has great advantages in functionality.

But if only a portion of the image content needs to be expanded, Uncrop can already meet the requirements very well.

And as long as you master some tips on prompt words, Uncrop+Clipdrop can also generate and expand image content according to the user's description.

The key is that the operation is simple and completely free!

Compared to the monthly usage cost of around 150 yuan for PSGF, the tool provided by StabilityAI should be a more ideal choice for most users who do not have high requirements for image content.

And watch as StabilityAI continues to launch new features.

I feel that sooner or later, this drawing circle will be rolled up by them, and all functions will be easy to use and free of charge.
