Idk how the guy with photoshop knowledge hasn't learned about inpainting, clone stamp, and content aware fill. feels fake off of that bit.
Imo the biggest benefit of AI is artists using it to speed up their workflow. I for example use it to mimic brushstrokes found in real oil paint art that would be insanely difficult to replicate in photoshop, fill in backgrounds, or to make a sketch I made while I was bored more than a sketch I forget about in a week
There are lots of people that do this prompting stuff with zero knowledge of computers or art and its very telling. If you train your own loras, use controlnet, inpaint with various tools, these things are all easy to fix. For me though, I hate taking orders when it comes to art, even when I'm doing it by hand, so obviously it will never be a job for me, just a hobby and sometimes people buy my shit.
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.
