The way it works is like this: 1) Photo gets taken on your booth, or really anything, and saved to your Dropbox folder. 2) Photo automatically uploads and is processed according to your premade your AI command. 3) Photo downloads back into a subfolder called 'edits' for you to use however you see fit. I recommend a sharing kiosk so you can live print/share the AI output at events, along with your own custom overlay.
This one varies depending on a few factors. First, your initial image will need to upload before processing. For this reason, I recommend shooting at a medium/small size. Anything larger is unnecessary as your image is resized by AI. The actual processing done by the AI is up to you in terms of speed/output desired. In my 'barbie' and 'cartoon' Pix'd by examples, each of these took under 30 seconds to be processed by AI. Including the total upload/download time, and the time for it to populate on my LAPP photo sharing kiosk, it was under 1 minute and 30 seconds to be able to print/share. Consistently I've been able to share/print images under 2 minutes in testing. But results can obviously vary. Note, that once turned on, the app will queue every minute to check for new images in your Dropbox folder and will process 5- 10 images at a time, depending on your final settings.
Practice makes perfect! My recommendation would be to start with the prompts I've included for my barbie and cartoon filters, so you can test the outputs that I have found to be fairly consistent. Try it with different photos taken from your photo booth and see what you get. When taking pictures of guests, it's best if it's head-on, with the right lighting. AI will use your existing image as a reference shot, so the better it is, the better your output will be. Also, I found it best to not zoom out too much, as you lose details in people, so things like genders or skin tones are more likely to be distorted. And if you can avoid it, keep people's hands out of the pictures, as well as any text - AI has a bit of trouble rendering this as of now.
As politely as I can say this, no, there are absolutely no refunds. Why? Well, the process, methods and secrets to my AI workflow took months to learns. But it will only take you an hour to do the same. And once you know how, it means you will have complete access to the exact techniques and processes to create your own AI experiences. It goes without saying, but once unbottled, the "secret sauce" can't be re-bottled...
Your final output is only limited by your imagination (and the scope of the AI). The Barbie and Cartoon filter effects I feature in this tutorial are just to show you what's possible, with some practical and relevant effects that I found to look great. Using the power of AI, you'll be able to come up with your own prompts to modify you final image however you see fit, within constraints of the AI model, which is evolving every day.
No. And yes. What you are buying in this course is knowledge. And as part of that, I will walk you through step by step how to plug in to the AI software / API / whatever you want to call it. It's not my own, you are getting access directly to the source. I'm showing you how to connect the dots, and everything you need in order to generate AI images on your own and integrate it into your photo booth workflow automatically.
Anything! This process is not software dependent. All you need is a Dropbox account to watch/download the photos. In order to share/print the photos live at an event, you will need to use a sharing kiosk solution. I recommend LA Photo Party Upload, Pic Pic Social, or Breeze Kiosk, but any should work, as long as you can point it to a watch folder on your PC. Keep in mind with Snappic, and possibly some others, you may be able to upload into your microsites for sharing, but as far as I'm aware, you can't apply the template branding after the fact. So, if you want to use Snappic & have branded overlays, you'll need a combined solution like Breeze Hotfolder Prints, which can customize the print-template layout before it gets uploaded. But this isn't necessary if using Photo Party Upload.
Maybe! AI is always changing. And the model that this training is based on, while the newest, is still evolving. As capabilities grow, so does the potential of what you can provide for your clients. While it's not possible at the moment, using my workflow, in the near future you may be able to use this to accomplish deepfake-style swaps live. Again, the potential is limitless, but once you learn the process, you can implement the future changes easily.
I'll cover everything in the course, but there are only three basic tools you'll need. 1) Dropbox - To store your photos and upload/download automatically 2) 'The special app' (free, but $9/mo for live photo processing without a 15-minute delay) 3) AI engine - You'll pay a per-image processing fee around 1-2 pennies per photo for the same barbie/cartoon effects I generated. Costs vary based on image complexity and final requirements, which you can easily adjust and preview in advanced.
