Feedback on Sketch Colourisation
Hi I am looking for some feedback on our new project "Sketch Colourisation". The envisioned UI and objectives are -- * An artist should have greater control on how to colour a sketch. While a text-to-image model lacks this fine-grained control, a per-pixel colourisation pipeline makes sketch colourisation a laborious process with high-entry barrier. * What if an artist only draws a mask for a local region and specifies the colour palette for that local region? Then a neural network figures out how to colour the overall sketch -- while maintaining those local colour palette. [I would really…

In plain words
Sketch Colourisation is an AI tool that helps artists color sketches with greater control than text-to-image models offer. Instead of laborious per-pixel work, artists draw masks for local regions and specify color palettes, while a neural network automatically colors the entire sketch while respecting those local color choices. The tool uses a training-free neural network framework designed to reduce the barrier to entry for sketch coloring workflows.

I made a new AI colorizer2022 · palette.fm · ▲472Hi HN, I’m Emil, the maker behind Palette. I’ve been tinkering with AI and colorization for about five years. This is my latest colorization model. It’s a text-based AI colorizer, so you can edit the colorizations with natural language. To make it easier to use, I also automatically create captions and generate filters. Let me know what you think. You can see some of my results on my reddit page: https://www.reddit.com/user/emilwallner/?sort=top
Convert sketches into images using ControlNet2023 · clio.so · ▲76Hi HN! We're working on an AI studio product, and have been experimenting with the recently-released ControlNet (https://github.com/lllyasviel/ControlNet) After wasting hours with it, we decided to put together a quick fun project. "Sketch" allows you to draw anything (works w/ touch inputs on mobile too), enter a prompt (it can be as simple as "drawing" and it'll try to guess) and you get something out fast. Keeping it all on a public feed as well, to serve as inspiration. Hope anyone here finds it fun :-)
