I'm a bit of an eclectic mess 🙂 I've been a programmer, journalist, editor, TV producer, and a few other things.

I'm currently working on my second novel which is complete, but is in the edit stage. I wrote my first novel over 20 years ago but then didn't write much till now.

I post about #Coding, #Flutter, #Writing, #Movies and #TV. I'll also talk about #Technology, #Gadgets, #MachineLearning, #DeepLearning and a few other things as the fancy strikes ...

"Region-Aware Diffusion for Zero-shot Text-driven Image Editing. (arXiv:2302.11797v1 [cs.CV])" — A region-aware text-guided image editing method which aims to replace one entity with another.

What I always wonder with these approaches is whether you can replace a larger entity with a smaller one, or vice versa, (say a horse with a cat) in a way that looks realistic?

Yesterday's #StableDiffusion prompt was: "Secret forest with hidden nooks" or "Fantasy forest with hidden nooks" ... I did some for each 🙂

These were done using multiple different models and different resolutions and so there's quite a range to the images.

I liked the results so much that I'll probably be doing a few more of this over the next few days ... Or, variations thereof.
