Welcome! It’s Saturday, August 10th.

Do You Know?

YouTube's new feature allows creators to use Google's Gemini AI to brainstorm video ideas, titles, and thumbnails. This feature is currently being tested with select creators as part of a limited experiment.

YouTube is exploring whether creators prefer this Gemini integration or their existing AI-powered content inspiration tool when it comes to generating video ideas.🌟

Transform Sketches Into Detailed Photos 🤯

Unleash your creativity and boost efficiency by using Adobe Firefly (it’s free!) to transform your rough sketches into stunning photos or professional-grade artwork.

By turning your doodles into dazzling digital masterpieces, you can:

• Effortlessly experiment with various styles, colours, & compositions

• Rapidly prototype & explore multiple concepts

• Add realistic details & textures that are otherwise challenging to achieve

• Communicate ideas more effectively to clients & stakeholders

• Create art easily — just for the fun of it!

How To Do It

Step 1: Ensure your sketch is in a digital format using a scanner or by taking a photo with your phone. Convert it to a .png or .jpeg format (you can use the Convert Anything GPT to do this).

Step 2: Go to Adobe Firefly (or access Firefly via Creative Cloud) & navigate to the Text-to-Image Module.

Step 3: Into the text bar, type in a prompt that describes your sketch and anything else you want in your new image. Hit ‘Generate’.

Step 4: In the ‘Settings’ panel, set your desired aspect ratio.

Step 5: Under ‘Content type’, select either ‘Photo’ for a more photorealistic feel or ‘Art’ for an illustrative style.

Step 6: Under ‘Composition’, select ‘Upload Image’ to add your sketch as a reference image. Use the ‘Strength’ slider to adjust how closely the new image follows your sketch (all the way to the right = more similar).

Optional Step: Under ‘Styles’, adjust the visual intensity (i.e., the level of detail & complexity), and select any ‘Effects’, ‘Colour and Tone’, ‘Lighting’, or ‘Camera Angle’ options that you want applied to the new image.

Step 7: Hit ‘Generate’.

Step 8: Experiment to get the image you want by adjusting your prompt (e.g., say ‘detailed oil painting’ or ‘made of yarn’), changing various settings, or trying different effects.
