In this post, I’ve compiled a list of tools that have been helpful in experimenting with AI-generated images. There are more complex tools if you want to build your own python environments, but I’ve left this list to be just those that are easily used and accessible.

Image Generation

DALL-E, IMO, best translation of complex text entry into images. Also has good “In Painting” and “Out Painting” for an online tool, allowing you to “re-roll” or re-imagine portions of the image. It has some trial tokens, but is a paid API.

MidJourney generates amazing photo realistic and art photos, and has the best generation that I’ve seen. It has a number of free tokens, is used through Discord, but eventually you have to pay a bit.

For best results add --v 4 to your prompts.
