10 Tips for Adding Text to AI-Generated Images
TLDRThe video script offers a comprehensive guide on how to effectively incorporate AI-generated text into images using AI image generators like mid-journey, Dali, and stable diffusion. It acknowledges the challenges in achieving both aesthetically pleasing and readable text, and provides 10 practical tips and tricks to enhance the process. These range from starting prompts with desired words and repeating them for emphasis, to describing the desired font and background, experimenting with variations, and utilizing photo editing tools for final touches. The tips are aimed at improving the user's experience with AI image generators, making it easier to create visually appealing images with well-placed and legible text.
Takeaways
- 🎨 Start with specific words in the prompt to ensure AI includes desired text, as it may skip parts of the input.
- 🔄 Repeat text multiple times in the prompt to add weight and increase the likelihood of it appearing correctly in the generated image.
- 🖼 Describe the desired text appearance, such as font style and color, as AI image generators are more adept at visual interpretation.
- 📚 Specify the physical format and background for the text, like a book or poster, to give the AI a starting point for the text's aesthetic.
- 🤝 Use synonyms and specific terms for text, like 'headline' or 'title', to increase the chances of the AI understanding the context.
- 🔄 Create variations of the best renderings to improve the chances of achieving the desired text outcome.
- 🖼️ Feed the text into the AI as an image prompt to potentially reduce the number of variations needed for a satisfactory result.
- 📏 Shorten text strings to make them easier to generate accurately, as longer texts have more room for error.
- ✏️ Edit incorrect text in AI-generated images using in-painting tools, if available, to correct mistakes.
- 🖌️ Use photo editing programs like Pixlr or Photoshop to clean up and add text to images, improving upon AI's limitations.
Q & A
What is the main challenge with generating text using AI image generators?
-The main challenge is that AI image generators struggle to consistently make text that is both beautiful and readable. They see words more as a visual element rather than understanding the underlying syntax or logic of the language, which can result in readable text with mistakes or gibberish.
Which AI image generator does Jen primarily use, and what are the others she has explored?
-Jen primarily uses Mid-journey as her AI image generator, but she has also explored Dali and Stable Diffusion.
How can you increase the likelihood of AI catching the words you want in your image?
-Start your prompt with the words you want to include, set the word or words apart from the rest of the prompt using quotes, commas, or a double colon. Repeating the text throughout the prompt also adds weight to your words.
What is a strategy to help AI image generators understand how you want your text to look?
-Describe the font and its attributes in detail within the prompt. This includes colors, medium (like ink), form, and font styles. Even though you don't need to be specific, being descriptive helps the AI work within its comfort zone of visuals.
How can describing the physical format of the background where the text appears help AI image generators?
-By describing the physical format of the background, such as a book, magazine, poster, or business card, you give the AI a head start as it can pick up on the aesthetic of the format. Specifying a simpler background like white, black, or colorful can also aid the AI.
Why is using synonyms and specific words throughout the prompt beneficial?
-Using synonyms and specific words can help the AI understand the context better. If it doesn't catch one of the words, it might latch on to another, thus increasing the chances of getting the desired text.
What is the importance of creating variations when adding text to AI images?
-Creating variations is important because it may not always produce the desired text on the first attempt. It might take multiple attempts to get successful text, and even then, subsequent variations may improve or worsen the result, necessitating persistence and patience.
How can you use an image of text as a prompt in AI image generators?
-You can feed your text into the AI as an image prompt using photo editors like Photoshop. For example, using an inspirational quote template in Canva with a stock image can reduce the number of variations needed.
What is a technique to simplify adding text to AI-generated images?
-Shortening the text string can make it easier for AI image generators to achieve the desired result. Simple words or phrases, and even single letters, are relatively easier for the AI to generate correctly.
How can you correct incorrect text in AI-generated images using Dolly's in-painting feature?
-Using Dolly's in-painting feature, you can fix incorrect text by choosing the version closest to the desired word, using the Eraser to remove incorrect words or letters, and then typing the correct word in the prompt bar and generating the image again.
What are some photo editing programs that can be used to clean up and add text to AI-generated images?
-Programs like Photoshop and free online apps like Pixlr can be used to clean up and add text to AI-generated images. Photoshop's 'Match Font' feature can identify a font similar to the one generated by AI, while Pixlr's Clone tool can remove unwanted text.
How can Canva be used to add text to an image?
-In Canva, you can open an image or add an image to a template and use the editing tools available, including 'Remove Background'. To add text, click 'Text' and choose from preset text combinations. You can adjust the size, move the text, and change color and other effects.
What is the final tip provided by Jen for enhancing the text on AI-generated images?
-The final tip is to use photo editing programs like Pixlr or Photoshop to clean up and add text to the AI-generated images. This can involve removing unwanted elements or matching and adding text that fits the desired aesthetic.
