Generating images with Krea.ai

KREA is a website with a creative assistant and with it you can create text-to-images, alter them in a variety of ways and arrange them in a canvas.

There are basically two different way to use Krea, through the 'on the fly generation' (this is extremely disorienting as an image is automatically generated as you type!)

Or through 'Studio Projects' which is a bit messy.

These below are my first impressions on the interface, I was really impressed by the real time rendering of the image.

On the right side, you can switch to different style (default, portrait, cgi, cartoon, ...) this is just for the quick changes. A download button is here as well, but the export will be in low-resolution.

To access the finalized image, you are invited to click on rendering, then the image/enhancer/ page will open and from there the high resolution image will be tweaked and then exported.

Using the same image (as always), I was pretty happy with the result

Krea is fun because of the real-time feature, but it does not offer a large checkpoint selection, Loras etc ... It is a perfect fit for people discovering AI art, and who wants to see it working fast.

The free plan offer 3mn of runtime, but that is enough to play with Krea and generate 10 to 15 images.
