Promptography!?
Promptography? Ever heard of it? And what does it have to do with Art? You are not alone, but in the foreseeable future it will be the number 1 word you will come accross when it comes to Art and AI usage!
Let us take a look at what Promptography is and what it can do for you!
What is Promptography?
Promptography is a term that has emerged in the realm of generative AI and digital art. It refers to the creation of visual content, such as images, artwork or other visual means using text-based prompts that instruct an AI model to generate specific results.
Why should I care?
Promptography is going to revolutionise several industries like Art, Marketing and Entertainment. Should you either be a professional in one of these industries or a privat person interested in visually appealing media (who isn’t really), you will sooner or later come in touch with results generated by Promptography.
How does Promptography work?
Those using tools like midjourney, DALLE or Stable Diffusion can generate visuals with the help of so called prompts aka word-based instructions. This tools have been trained on the basis of billions of images to generate accurate representation of your prompt.
Let us take a look what Midjourney generated for me with the following prompt:
Oil portrait of a lion in a red suit posing in front of a dark background with paint dripping at the bottom of the image
What can it do for me?
Promptography can help you with several things. One area in which Promptography will become meaningful is in the Art generation area. Within seconds you can generate personal and unique art illustrations, visuals and even painting based on simple text-based prompts.
What is the “Catch” with Promptography?
Promptography comes with several benefits, but also has some downsides. First of all, Art generation tools are not all the same. Some generate outstanding quality images other less so. Usually good Art generation tools such as Midjourney require you to be a paying subscriber.
Secondly, AI Art generation is often not without flaws. You will find certain pixels in a perfekt generated image that you would like to have changed or replaced with something different. This requires at a bit of editing or at worst complex and timely image manipulation.
Thirdly, Images from prompts are in a low resolution. If you wish to have an image printed out you will be disappointed with the results. The amount of your disappointment is proportionet with the size of the print you wanted to have the image be printed on. To have AI generated images printed you need to improve their quality aka upscale their quality, so that image quality is sharp and cohesive.
