Hi Robert. Thank you so much for your thoughtful response. I particularly like the way you describe how you use AI, and how you often start with a reference image at first.
I believe you that with additional upscaling techniques and color generation and filtering some amazing results are possible.
It's really interesting the way you describe your creative AI process as quite involved, that you wait with writing out a prompt until later, and then going through steps of various adjustments.
I agree that that's probably the secret to a great image. I'm going to give that a try.
Thank you.
