  Thanks. As you said to @CaylaCatz on yours, the idea was to replicate the original. And while I quite like all of these in their own right, none fully replicate all the elements of the original, which is quite amazing

  And I just re-read again - quite significant work in photoshop. Which is fine, set us a great challenge to try and get close just prompting

  tvm. It was a challenge, lots of Gemini assistance. But still nothing quite matches Niels original

  tvm, though not a patch on the original

  i did the same thing - but i did it in GPT 2 Low, and as i stil have a pro account on another site (until october), and gpt 2 low is free ... i ran 30 or so prompts over there. Then took the one i liked best and ran it a few dozen more times over here. Yours turned out wicked cool.

  Yes! Photoshop can achieve very interesting things if you know how to use it. But all the versions I've seen are very good, and looking for changes and creativity... that's the beauty of QTs

  I was happy with the results and enjoyed the exercise. Such sophisticated results with photoshop (or GIMP in my case) is beyond my current skill level. So I re-generate and try img2img for corrections

• @charlypalermo · Jun 21, 2026

  Wow! Excellent, David! I like them all. If I had to choose, it would be really hard, but maybe I'd go with 3, 4, or 5, but all 6 are fantastic. Incredible work!

  Yeah. I did read that he photoshopped. Attempted one so far but as a man and woman. Got a great image but nothing like what he posted.
