met dank voor deze uitleg. Zeer behulpzaam bij het bewerken van oudere beelden, deze mooier te maken door aan te vullen en tenslotte nieuw leven in te blazen
Thank you so much!
Hello, I am more interested in plain, regular faces, more diverse, less model type. Bing Image Creator Dall-e 2 had a more diverse type of female faces, even within the same race. Although I am very appreciative of Dall-e 3, the female face, women, are model type, small nose, full lips, same type of jaw. Do you know any keywords to guide BIC in order to generate less perfect faces?
Let us try some prompts, and we’ll get back to you with the right answer Anne.
Same question! Same complaint, all women are aloke for Dalle-3, it s a bit better when you include artists, or mix them.
Yes, this is something that DALLE struggle with. It can’t really generate hyper-realistic images. In this case, I will recommend using Stable Diffusion or Midjourney (My personal recommendation)
