AI Watercolor: Home Sweet Home

 

Exploring the AI feature in my photo app has become a bit addictive, especially the watercolor feature. I spent quite a bit of time playing with it. All my photos in my phone are organized in folders so I can find a specific photo easily. Yesterday I chose photos from the "home sweet home" folder.

The view out of the kitchen window is very accurate.

The "Good vibes" neon sign turns on in the early morning and in the evening. We have a few of such signs in our windows - the Geek found them.

The pantry - just open IKEA shelves in our breakfast nook.

I had to laugh what AI did with one of our book shelves. Do you see the little dragon in the left picture? Well, we don't have a dragon sitting there - there is a piece of the Berlin Wall. Obviously, the dragon is way more fun. Now I wish we had a little guy like that.

Some pictures from the garden. I love how all the colors are so well coordinated in this top image. They are coordinated in the original photo as well, but not quite as well.



These are some shells and rocks I found at the beach. The dry seaweed turned into these colorful scrolls.


My collection of garden lights and terracotta birds.


Another collection - this time empty bottles of different shapes - at sunset.


I love the Moroccan lights on our porch, a present from a former neighbor in our old neighborhood. They were part of her wedding decoration.


I'm sharing with Nicole's Sunday in the Art Room

...Carola, all of these are lovely, but often I enjoy the real deal best!

OMGosh!!! These are magnificent! What AI program is on your phone. I'm very impressed with these art pieces. Thank you so much for joining SITAR. Have a nice Sunday.

I like looking at the details of other people's houses, it tells me information about their owners. I also like my own little corners in my apartment, they mean homeliness to me.
I don't use AI much, only in Google search, but I like your watercolors.
My problem with AI is that until now photos were documents for me, now most of them are fakes, and I don't trust them. There are more and more of them, and this makes me more and more frustrated.
You can play with AI, and you do, and the result is pleasing.
When I look at your IKEA candle holders, it feels like I'm at home. I have a lot of them too:)
Hugs. Éva

Wow on the AI!

Oh, I can see why you are addictively playing with the AI watercolour feature on your phone! These images are all so terrific! And I love the view out of your kitchen window, although once I deciphered the neon sign, I wondered if you were living in a sex toy shop, LOL! Probably many people's dream, I know.

The view out your kitchen window is delightful. I like your flags too.
That AI is doing nicely on the watercolor.

We had a watercolor option in some long-ago and long-replaced photo app. I wish I could rememberwhich app it was.

That is a cool ap. It does a great job changing photos into ideal looking images.It's really good at getting details and light reflections. I particularly like the jug of flowers. And the view of the whole house with the garden full of blooms. Have a super new week. hugs-Erika

The results are amazing, Carola! I am sure that everyone will be wanting to get this app. I am very happy to see the PUP books on fungi and lichens in your stash. A mark of quality and erudition! Many hugs - David

I agree with the previous comments, Carola, in that the app produced some lovely effects with soft muted colors. I really liked the little dragon that replaced a bit of the Berlin wall. Now, you will need to share the name of the app in a future post because it seems fellow bloggers, including myself, are very interested.

These are wonderful and I need to try this.
