      Microsoft Designer – Pour retoucher ou créer vos images à l’aide de l’IA

      news.movim.eu / Korben · Thursday, 15 February - 08:00 · 1 minute

    Ça fait un petit moment que ça existe et je n’avais pas encore pris le temps de vous en parler. En plus, ça a bien évolué, donc je pense qu’il est temps !

    Il s’agit de Microsoft Designer , un outil qui va vous permettre de « bosser » sur vos meilleures idées d’images sans avoir de compétence en graphisme. Et pour cela, Microsoft nous offre différents outils à base d’IA qui permettront de faire tout un tas de trucs rigolos.

    Bon, déjà, il y a le Image Creator qui permet de générer des images à partir d’un prompt de votre choix. Toutefois, pour ceux qui ont l’imagination d’un parpaing, il y a surtout des tonnes d’exemples de prompts très cools permettant de faire des tas d’illustrations aux styles dont « toute ressemblance existante ou ayant existé avec le style d’un artiste, ne serait que fortuite, évidemment « .

    Vous pouvez par exemple avoir un template pour faire votre propre image de figurine Funko.

    Voici ce que ça donne avec moi :

    Rigolo non ?

    Mais Designer va encore plus loin, puisqu’il permet de concevoir à l’aide d’un prompt, un design complet comme vous le feriez sur Canva. Mais également supprimer des éléments sur une images, étendre votre image (outpainting), virer le fond d’une image…

    Sans oublier un générateur de kit pour votre marque ou d’album photo, ou encore de stickers. Et c’est gratuit, c’est ça qui est fou !

    Voici ce que donnerait mon kit de marque Korben. Bon je suis pas convaincu mais c’est sympa quand même.

    Voilà, vous l’aurez compris, Microsoft vient totalement d’éradiquer une profession à l’aide d’un simple site web.

    Pour tester c’est par ici que ça se passe .

    4chan users who have made a game out of exploiting popular AI image generators appear to be at least partly responsible for the flood of fake images sexualizing Taylor Swift that went viral last month.

    Graphika researchers—who study how communities are manipulated online—traced the fake Swift images to a 4chan message board that's "increasingly" dedicated to posting "offensive" AI-generated content, The New York Times reported . Fans of the message board take part in daily challenges, Graphika reported, sharing tips to bypass AI image generator filters and showing no signs of stopping their game any time soon.

    "Some 4chan users expressed a stated goal of trying to defeat mainstream AI image generators' safeguards rather than creating realistic sexual content with alternative open-source image generators," Graphika reported. "They also shared multiple behavioral techniques to create image prompts, attempt to avoid bans, and successfully create sexually explicit celebrity images."

    During a Surface press event today, Microsoft announced integrations of AI-powered image-generation technology into its Bing search engine, Edge browser, and a new Office app called Microsoft Designer. The technology will be powered by DALL-E 2 by OpenAI, which made waves in April for its ability to generate novel images based on written prompts. The technology has also been the subject of ire among some artists due to ethical concerns .

    Microsoft's offerings aim to help creators overcome blank-page syndrome by suggesting creative courses of action. In an example of Microsoft Designer provided by Microsoft, someone types a description of what they want to see, such as "Ombre cake decorated with flowers and fall foliage," and they can then scroll through AI-generated image examples that they can choose to add to their design. "Designer invites you to start with an idea and let the AI do the heavy lifting," wrote Microsoft in a press release.

    Microsoft Designer originated as part of PowerPoint, where it currently suggests design ideas as a subset of that program. But Microsoft plans to break out Designer into its own Microsoft 365 app that will be available both as a free app and as a premium app available to Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscribers. For now, Microsoft is limiting Designer to a free public web app, which it will use to gather feedback from public testing.
