I've struck gold, or, well, I've struck red, in this year's sunflower crop. I had three productive red sunflower stalks (from about 100 seeds that were supposed to sprout red sunflowers). I just can't get enough photos of my gorgeous sunflowers this year!
I thought it would be really fun to put a smiley face in the middle of one of my gorgeous red sunflowers because red sunflowers make me so darned happy! I tried my hand at adding the smile via AI, particularly in the new Photoshop Generative AI, in which you start with your own image and ask the AI to improve it.
The results were mostly disappointing. I got a couple of cute images, but nothing was what I wanted. And who knew "smiley" is a bad word??? (I had to use "smiling" or just plain "smile".)
I tried all kinds of different combinations... jelly beans, gum drops, cranberries, yarn, yellow sunflowers, even toothpaste.
After running out of this month's AI credits in Photoshop, I decided to just do it myself in Photoshop, without any AI. Using entirely my own images, too. Finally got an image that visually says exactly what I wanted to say!
