Using Camera Settings
Exciting news is the ability to configure various camera settings such as aperture, shutter speed, and field of view. Go to the photo settings and experiment with the aperture. You can see directly how the background blur changes depending on the settings you choose.
Generating a New Image
To generate an image, simply enter your desired parameters, for example, "sunset and dog in the field." The application will immediately show you four different suggestions that reflect your inputs. Choose the design that you like best.
Uploading Custom Reference Images
Another great feature is the ability to upload your own photos as style reference. Simply click on "Upload Image" and choose your image. The app will then try to apply your style to the generated image.
Improving Generated Images
After generating an image, you can view the preview in different versions. Note that the results may sometimes differ from your expectations, especially in complex scenarios or details like hands.
Sharing Images
To share a generated image, go to "More Options" and then "Copy Link." This makes it easier to share your creations with others and displays everything from copyright to description.
Review and Feedback
If you have generated an image that you do not like, you can provide feedback and suggest improvements. The algorithm will learn from your inputs and be able to better meet your preferences in the future.
