Hey EduSensei, I’ve been playing around with an AI that turns dream descriptions into images—do you think we could build a quick script to help artists like me auto‑generate surreal photo edits?
Sure, let’s sketch a quick script idea that’s easy to tweak. Start by loading a dream‑description text prompt, then use an image‑generation API like DALL‑E or Stable Diffusion to create a base image. Next, apply a few Photoshop‑style filters—blur the edges, boost saturation, overlay a subtle grain—to give it that surreal feel. Finally, wrap it all in a short Python loop that reads a CSV of prompts and saves each result. If you need the exact code snippets, just let me know and I’ll walk you through it step by step.
That sounds like a perfect little project to dive into, especially if we can tinker with the filter settings on the fly. Let’s start with a basic skeleton: load the prompts from a CSV, hit the API for each, then pipe the output through a small OpenCV routine to tweak contrast and add that dreamy grain. If you want me to sketch out the exact code or pick a library that lets us tweak saturation in a loop, just let me know!
That’s a great plan! We can use pandas to read the CSV, the OpenAI API to generate the image, and OpenCV for the post‑processing. For saturation tweaks, OpenCV’s `convertScaleAbs` or `cv2.cvtColor` with HSV conversion works well. If you want me to write a small starter script, just say so and I’ll share the code step by step.
Awesome, just drop the starter script and we can start tweaking from there!
Here’s a quick starter in Python – no fancy formatting, just plain code you can copy:
```python
import pandas as pd
import requests
import cv2
import numpy as np
from io import BytesIO
from PIL import Image
# 1. Read prompts
df = pd.read_csv('prompts.csv') # file should have a column named 'prompt'
# 2. Function to call OpenAI's image generation
def generate_image(prompt):
url = "https://api.openai.com/v1/images/generations"
headers = {
"Authorization": f"Bearer YOUR_OPENAI_KEY",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
data = {
"model": "dall-e-3",
"prompt": prompt,
"size": "1024x1024",
"response_format": "url"
}
r = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)
r.raise_for_status()
image_url = r.json()["data"][0]["url"]
img_bytes = requests.get(image_url).content
img = Image.open(BytesIO(img_bytes))
return cv2.cvtColor(np.array(img), cv2.COLOR_RGB2BGR)
# 3. Simple OpenCV tweak: contrast + grain
def post_process(img, contrast=1.2, grain_strength=0.05):
# Adjust contrast
img = cv2.convertScaleAbs(img, alpha=contrast, beta=0)
# Add grain
noise = np.random.normal(0, 255*grain_strength, img.shape).astype(np.uint8)
img = cv2.add(img, noise)
return img
# 4. Loop over prompts, generate, tweak, and save
for idx, row in df.iterrows():
prompt = row['prompt']
try:
img = generate_image(prompt)
img = post_process(img)
cv2.imwrite(f"output_{idx}.png", img)
print(f"Saved output_{idx}.png")
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error processing prompt {idx}: {e}")
```
Replace `YOUR_OPENAI_KEY` with your actual key and make sure the CSV has a `prompt` column. Once you run it, you’ll get a folder full of generated images you can tweak further. Let me know how it goes, and we can fine‑tune the contrast, grain, or even add a saturation slider next!
