It sounds like your app turns photos into a watercolor style image? You can definitely do this faster with Stable Diffusion (~6s per image before optimization).

It sounds like your app turns photos into a watercolor style image? You can definitely do this faster with Stable Diffusion (~6s per image before optimization).
Here's how I would approach it: train a dreambooth model on watercolor style images, then run image-to-image using that model.
For examples of what dreambooth models can do see: https://synapticpaint.com/dreambooth/info/ https://synapticpaint.com/dreambooth/info/ (sample images here generated using a "modern disney" style model).
If you need help getting this set up feel free to email me! This stuff is probably not harder than getting gimp to run in a container.
- wongarsu 4y agoStable Diffusion on beefy hardware is faster than OPs process in OPs docker container, but I don't think we can judge from this that OP uses a slower process. For all we know this is running on the equivalent of a $10 Digital Ocean droplet.
- nfriend 4y agoCurrently running on a t3.medium AWS EC2 instance! (My max budget is currently $50/month since I get that much in AWS credits each month for building an Alexa skill a few years back.)
- synapticpaint 4y agoThat's true. I just wanted to provide some context for OP and others reading since they mentioned an interest in AI generation, and I think not everyone knows that dreambooth + stable diffusion has this kind of capability.
- rlv-dan 4y agoThis comment make me sad. Replacing human creativity with "ai" is like we've reached the peak so no need to put any effort into life anymore..
- adammarples 4y agorunning a GIMP script is hardly the opposite

- jamesgreenleaf 4y agoHuman creativity isn't being replaced; new layers of it are being added.
- synapticpaint 4y agoI don't think that AI image generation in its current form replaces human creativity. You still need a human to guide the process, compose the image, judge the output, etc. What's being automated is the manual, traditional process of painting and drawing. I see this technology as more analogous to hand writing books -> printing. I predict that more people, not less, will be involved in creative industries related to visual arts (design, film, illustration, animation, etc.) as a result of this technology becoming more accessible.
- JoeAltmaier 4y agoThat's skipping over all the skill and training needed to draw, well, what most of us are unable to draw. We can all write words with a pencil. That's not the same as drawing an original character or scene with skill.
- UncleEntity 4y agoThe photography industry would like to have a word with you. Or all the (now dead) people who were saying the same things about photography.
- JoeAltmaier 4y agoYeah and photographing art and claiming it is yours, is surely copyright infringement. These disingenuous arguments are not taking the conversation forward.
- nfriend 4y agoVery interesting, I will look into this! Thanks!
