AI Photo Wednesday: Discussions
Posted on January 17, 2024 • 2 min read • 232 words
Every Wednesday, I post an AI-generated image with an explanation and story.
I use Midjourney to create images for my blog and other media. Today’s topic is Adding Discussions to Hugo.
The Story
I recently started converting my blog to a static page generator. I was a bit done with the speed of WordPress. Not that it’s necessarily WordPress’s fault, but the plugins I was using made adding articles a chore. It was frustrating.
In the article I wrote about this, I wanted to include an image in black and white, where the discussion was central. But not so much a digital discussion, more a conversation between two people.
The Photo
Used Prompt
This is the prompt I used to create the image.
a black and white pencil drawing of two people sitting opposite each other at a table talking
--ar 3:2 --s 750 --v 6.0 --style rawSuch a prompt yields multiple images. Here is another image from that same set.
Editing
As for editing, I didn’t do much to the image, besides some standard actions:
- Open Midjourney photo in Photoshop
- Convert the first layer to a Smart Object
- Add a Camera Raw Smart Filter
- Adjust light settings: exposure, whites, blacks, shadows
- Details: sharpening to 100
- Sharpening mask around 75 to sharpen the contours
Then it’s just a matter of saving as PNG and using in the article.
