DALL·E 2 generates *amazing* AI images, but using these 10 FREE tools can make them so much better.

A quick thread those wanting to do just a little bit more👇
1) Fix faces 🤪

Upload any weird DALL-E face to this page and it'll fix the weirdest issues, airbrush them slightly and upscale the image 2x. An essential step for any AI portrait!

2) Animate characters! 🍿

Use @MyHeritage's DEEP NOSTALGIA to animate your characters! Sign up & login to access additional animation styles from dancing to side-eye: www.myheritage.com/deep-nostalgia

3) Make your scenes 3D!

Use @capcutapp's iOS app and choose Style > 3D Zoom (etc..) on an image to create lifelike 3D effects from a 2D #DALLE generation.

It's bananas-convincing, at least to my gullible eyes. 🍌

4) Create snazzy moodboard videos 🎞

You can also use CapCut's hugely powerful web app to add transitions, effects + more to any image sequence - the results can be out-of-this-world, as demonstrated by @danielbln.

5) Bring #DALLE's illustrations to life 🔥

Made a fantastical painting? Add water, fire, and other digital effects to your image with @Lightricks @MotionleapApp. Pretty cool, huh?

6) Colour grade & filter your #DALLE2 images like photos! 📸

Post-processing isn't just for photography anymore.

Use Google's Snapseed to add filters & effects to AI images, from vintage noir to bright & 'grammy. Available free in all good App Stores...
7) Add dynamic photo filters ✨

@instagram might be the app we love to hate right now, but import any #DALLE2 image into the Story maker and try applying different effects to zhush it up a little...
...it works especially well on faces, for obvious reasons.
8) Make every image count! 🔢

Use www.fotojet.com/features/photo-collage/photo-grid.html (best for <6 images) or gandr.io/ (best for lots of images) to create mosaics pronto.
9) Make a super-speed video montage 🤯

Choose 'Open image sequence' in Quicktime Player, select a huge stack of DALL·E downloads, and you'll generate a mind-bending clip of your adventures in the latent space at 24fps. (This would work especially well for variation journeys!)

10) Uncrop, stitch + expand!

If you want to 'zoom out', make landscape/portrait images or sprawling gigapixel murals with AI, you'll need a little image editor to help. (Instructions here: dallery.gallery/dall-e-ai-guide-faq/)
