In this episode, the DAS crew compared and reviewed various AI image creation tools for business uses.
They looked at tools integrated into platforms like Google Slides and Canva, as well as standalone services like Adobe Firefly, Leonardo, Midjourney, DALL-E, and others.
Key points:
- Ease of use is important - services within existing tools excel here. But quality is better in standalone apps.
- Midjourney produces the most photorealistic results for complex scenes based on text prompts.
- DALL-E 3 is not out yet, but allows conversational image generation, a potential game-changer for workflows.
- Some services are free but limited, while others require paid plans for full capabilities.
- Quality has improved enormously in the past year across the board.
- Ideal use cases are slides, social posts, advertisements, and other business visuals. But quality varies greatly by tool.
Overall, the crew recommended starting with integrated tools like Canva for simplicity but exploring dedicated apps like Midjourney for higher quality on critical images. But rapid advancement means buyers should research thoroughly before committing.
