    Idk how the guy with photoshop knowledge hasn’t learned about inpainting, clone stamp, and content aware fill. feels fake off of that bit.

    I'm a professional artist and I still struggle with a ton of that stuff. I don't really use photoshop much in my process though.

    I like your idea of using AI to speed up workflow though. Could make things like texturing much quicker and easier.

      I used to mostly do 100% pencil art when I was younger, but have since moved on to a weird hybrid of just taking quick pictures of my sketches and pulling it into photoshop to make it fancy / in color / whatever. So I've gotten really used to photoshop as a tool, so I guess if you're used to hands on stuff it makes sense that it would all be forlorn to you.

      And yeah its very good at textures and so on. I love using it for skin texture, speeds the process up by an insane amount. If you are adding the skin on rather than generating a whole character, you can maintain cohesion for the character in between generations just with a bit of sketching. I don't think anyone has been able to spot the fact that my more in depth stuff had a ton of ai generations collaged together and painted over for this reason. When I'm being lazy and bored of course its a lot easier to spot, its basically just a fancier sketch

        Ah, I see. Yeah, I used to do sketches and paintings, but had to move on to digital art with a tablet, so photoshop is never really a part of my routine, as all the tools I need are already in the art program I use.

        If it could save time on things like fish scales or wood textures and things that would be a big help. My backgrounds tend to be extremely flat and dull because I just don't have the time to texture them properly.
