Alpaca – Stable Diffusion Plugin for Photoshop
- t0bia_s 4y agoCombining Human skill and AI generative power Register for the launch of the Photoshop™ plugin private beta (More ways to interact with alpaca in the future).
- 9dev 4y agoWhile the video someone linked here looks incredible, the website has information density around 0. It’s a little annoying to having to research something instead of just reading about it on the project website. I understand you’re in a private beta, but a demo video, some example images, and a little bit of descriptive text would do wonders in improving the website.
- bovermyer 4y agoLooking at this, I'm not sure what it does. Something with AI. The image makes me think it's maybe layering results from a DALL-E like AI?
- ChildOfChaos 4y agoYes, Stable diffusion is an open source AI image generator that runs on your own hardware.

- quantumduck 4y agoIt's also a popular meta-learning algorithm: ALPaCA: https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.08912 https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.08912 Well no one cares unless one of the parties has enough money and interest to hire a lawyer.
- bee_rider 4y agoI wonder if that actually is close enough to have a case.
- coolspot 4y agoAny dictionary word is untrademarkable. You can use it, but you can’t pevent others from using it as well.
- eis 4y agoThat is not true. Easiest example is Apple.
- coolspot 4y agoYou can find more companies with “Apple” in their names & logos here: https://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/search https://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/search https://www.quora.com/How-does-Apple-Computer-Inc-get-away-with-being-able-to-trademark-the-word-apple https://www.quora.com/How-does-Apple-Computer-Inc-get-away-w...
- eis 4y agoYour second link validates my statement. You can absolutely trademark generic terms. There are limitations though. Try to create a smartphone or computer company called Apple and see what'll happen. You can't trademark the word Apple for your apple farm because other apple farms must be allowed to use that word to describe their product. That other companies have Apple in their name is not surprising. A trademark is not universal. There are so called classes and when you apply for a trademark you have to specify which classes you want covered. Source: I went through this process and applied and was granted a trademark for my company. Other companies hold a trademark on the same term but in different classes.
- simonw 4y agoThere's a video demo of this Photoshop plugin here: https://old.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/wyduk1/show_rstablediffusion_integrating_sd_in_photoshop/ https://old.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/wyduk1/sho...
- optimalsolver 4y agoIt's funny because art was the activity humans were supposed to be engaged in after AI took over the work we didn't want to do, but it looks like it will be one of the first things to fall to the machines.
- t0bia_s 4y agoYou confusing art with images. Art is more deep than just digital generated image. Do you thing that AI generated images will be bough by collectors or published in art galleries?
- m00dy 4y agowhy not ?
- dougabug 4y agoIt depends on who made it, and why.
- spaceman_2020 4y agoOne of the biggest categories of digital art at the moment is algorithmically generated art. Of course, the “artist” wrote the algorithm, but I can easily imagine an AI putting together something similar.

- tomalaci 4y agoI knew that eventually Photoshop would get some plugins utilizing AI image generation but I never expected it to happen this quick. From a brief glance at the demo (see reddit link from simonw) it seems to be of decent quality as well. According to the reddit comment by alpacaAI the plugin uses cloud/hosted solution, however [1]. Locally-powered generation to be added as a feature later it seems. [1] https://old.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/wyduk1/show_rstablediffusion_integrating_sd_in_photoshop/ilw7mdc/ https://old.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/wyduk1/sho... Still, pretty amazing (or terrifying for some) at how quickly we are advancing with this diffusion-based tech. I wonder what is going to be the next big AI method for creative-work generation?
- RunSet 4y agoGee, I always wanted to register for a product launch.
- marosgrego 4y agoGIMP plugin when?

- Escapado 4y agoThis is a smart move and goes to show people move so quick on this. I wonder how long before these models overtake stock image websites, get used in games or video production, generate T-shirt prints and whatever other usecase people can come up with. On that note: Iirc back when I learned about GANs, when they were still rather new there was a clear path towards improvements of them by making the model bigger and feed it _much_ more high quality training data. When I look at the outputs of stable diffusion or Dall-E there are still often visible artifacts and most prominently faces are often weird. Is there a clear path towards improvement here aswell or are we hitting a wall with the "just more" paradigm somewhen?
- dougabug 4y agoGANs have a key (learned) loss called a discriminator which tells it whether or not the generated output looks real or not. GANs took many years of research to get to the point where they could get to the point where they could generate realistic, full sized images. Progress in diffusion models has been much faster. But you can add additional guidance to diffusion models, for instance, (possibly pre-trained) discriminative models which detect if certain objects classes such as faces look abnormal or malformed. We’re still quite early in the evolution of this family of models.
- bee_rider 4y agoWhen my friends and I play D&D, usually the host will quickly sketch maps on the fly (just, like, a floorplan or something). This tool seems like 1-2 iterations off from being perfect for that sort of thing.
- in3d 4y agoSome Stable Diffusion repos are already using an additional specialized model that fixes faces.
- Krasnol 4y agoI wonder how long it will take to get those algorithms to generate hearable music.
