So, let’s dive right into what Divi AI is all about. In essence, think of it as your personal creative ally. With Divi AI, the process of generating text and images becomes effortlessly streamlined, all from a simple text prompt, directly within Divi’s intuitive, no-code Visual Builder. Unlike other generative AI software, Divi AI has been meticulously designed to integrate seamlessly with Divi’s unique environment. It has been trained explicitly to comprehend the nuances of each design element within Divi, grasping the context of your website effortlessly. This means it can identify the images and text content on your page, offering relevant suggestions for both text and images. Divi AI is powered by the formidable combination of Stable Diffusion and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, bolstered by additional enhancements meticulously crafted by our professional team. Now, not only can you craft stunning designs with Divi, but you can also create engaging content to complement them.
One of the standout features of Divi AI is its exceptional image generation capabilities. You have a plethora of options at your disposal for image creation, ranging from refining and enhancing existing images to automatic image generation. Let’s embark on a quick walkthrough to elucidate the steps involved in crafting an image with Divi AI. For the sake of simplicity, we’ll use the Bake Shop Layout Pack for Divi, although you can follow the same process with your preferred layout.
To kickstart your journey with Divi AI, initiate the Visual Builder by simply clicking the “Enable Visual Builder” button. To generate a new image, you can either click on an existing image module or add a new one. Should you wish to edit an image, just hover over the image module and click on the gray settings icon to access the editing options. Once the image module is open, hover over the image itself until you spot the AI icon. Click on the AI icon and select “Generate with AI.”
However, before you can fully harness Divi AI’s image generation prowess, it’s crucial to acquaint yourself with a few pivotal settings. Here are the key settings you should be familiar with:
1. **Image Style:** This setting empowers you to choose a specific style for your image. Options abound, including photo, digital painting, concept art, vector graphic, 3D render, drawing, abstract art, comic book, watercolor, painting, anime, cartoon, or none.
2. **Image Description:** This is where you can input a text prompt that guides the creation of your image. Alternatively, you can allow Divi AI to generate a prompt for you.
3. **Reference Image:** If you desire your image to be based on a particular look or style, you can upload a reference image here.
4. **Aspect Ratio:** Tailor your image’s aspect ratio to your liking, whether square (1:1), landscape (8:5), portrait (3:4), or even set a custom size.
5. **Size:** Specify a custom size for your image to suit your website’s needs.
6. **Generate:** Click this button, and Divi AI will work its magic, generating an image using artificial intelligence.
But that’s not all; Divi AI offers you the option to employ a reference image to provide guidance. To do so, simply click the “upload a reference image” button. This action will take you to the WordPress media gallery, where you can upload an image for Divi AI to analyze. Once the reference image is uploaded, the image generation settings will slightly adjust. You can still choose an image style and enter a prompt, but now you’ll notice a new setting for “reference image influence.” This parameter permits you to fine-tune the impact of the reference image on the generated one. Higher values result in images that more closely resemble the reference image.
Let’s illustrate this with an example: Suppose you upload a reference image of dogs joyfully running on a beach. Setting the image style to “photo” and the reference image influence to 50% would yield a generated image mirroring these settings. If you find the outcome satisfactory, you can click on the preferred image and then select “use this image” to insert it into the image module. If you’d like to generate more images inspired by the reference image, simply click the “generate more like this one” button.
Another exceptional facet of Divi AI’s image generation capability is its ability to enhance existing images. This feature is especially valuable for freelancers and web agency owners who frequently grapple with the challenge of finding suitable client images. Thanks to Divi AI, this is a concern of the past. To enhance an existing image, click inside the image module and follow the same steps as before, but this time, opt for “improve with AI.” When the dialog box appears, you’ll notice that the current image is set as the reference image. You can select the image style, add a description, and fine-tune the reference image influence as needed.
Now that you’ve gained a solid grasp of the fundamentals of image generation with Divi AI, let’s delve into some expert tips and best practices to elevate your images by crafting effective prompts. Crafting the perfect prompt is paramount. The sequence of words in the prompt holds significance, as words placed at the beginning carry more weight than those at the end. To craft an ideal prompt, adhere to this guideline: Image Style > Description > Details > Composition.
Commence by specifying the image style you desire, whether it’s a photograph, drawing, 3D render, and so on. Subsequently, provide an intricate description of the subject, encompassing its attributes, surroundings, and scene. The more detailed your description, the more refined the output. Following this, delve into specifics like lighting, photography style, artist references, and the like. Lastly, consider the composition elements such as camera angles and resolution.
For instance, while the prompt “a dog” may yield results, it might lack in certain aspects of the image. In contrast, a prompt like “golden retriever sitting on a boat dock gazing out at the water, framed by a majestic mountain backdrop, under a serene blue sky, bathed in cinematic lighting, captured with award-winning photography, boasting full depth of field, and rendered in glorious 4k resolution” provides Divi AI with a wealth of information to create a comprehensive scene.
Selecting a specific art style is pivotal for successful image creation. As previously mentioned, Divi AI offers an array of styles that empower you to create virtually any image you can envision. As a demonstration, we used the same prompt but altered the image style, resulting in images that varied according to
the chosen style.
If you have a specific image in mind that requires enhancement, contemplate using a reference image to steer Divi AI. When leveraging this feature, make sure to upload a high-quality reference image, as small, pixelated photos may not yield the desired results. Additionally, bear in mind that larger reference images will entail longer generation times with Divi AI. For optimal performance, aim to keep your reference images under 200kb. Using excessively large images on web pages can impede loading speed and potentially impact your site’s search engine ranking pages (SERPs).
As an illustrative example, when employing a reference image of dogs frolicking on a beach and setting the image influence at 30%, the resulting improved image met expectations.
By default, Divi AI generates images at a size of 512 x 512 pixels. However, you have the liberty to specify different aspect ratios, whether it’s landscape, portrait, or even custom dimensions. This flexibility empowers you to seamlessly integrate images of any size into your web pages. Custom dimensions prove particularly advantageous for hero image backgrounds and fitting images into confined spaces, rendering additional photo editing unnecessary. To preserve optimal image quality, it’s advisable to opt for 768 x 768 images rather than the default 512 x 512 size. This precaution helps prevent distortion, especially in intricate renderings at smaller dimensions, as Stable Diffusion, the underlying technology of Divi AI, performs optimally with larger images.
When crafting your image prompts, remember to employ descriptive language that conveys the subject, its attributes, camera angles, lighting conditions, and the surrounding environment. The key is to provide sufficient information for Divi AI to grasp the type of image you envision without overwhelming it with extraneous details. Unlike conventional content creation, generative AI doesn’t necessitate copious amounts of text for guidance. Leverage these tips and best practices to elevate your image prompts and unlock the boundless potential of Divi AI.
With Divi AI at your fingertips, you possess a formidable creative tool that promises to revolutionize your approach to design and content creation. Don’t let this groundbreaking technology pass you by; take Divi AI for a spin today and usher in a new era of creativity!
