No need to recreate AI images. I tried out 'VidMage AI', which lets you change just the person's impression. [AI Image Generation / AI Utilization / Generative AI / PR]

Good morning, this is Kinu.
Thank you for coming to visit.✨

This time, I had the opportunity to try out the AI tool VidMage.
I will review what I felt after actually using it from my own perspective.

(*The thumbnail is an illustrative image. In the main text, I am verifying it using actual realistic images.)


When creating images or designs,

"I thought it was finished. But I want to see what it looks like with a slightly different vibe."

Don't you ever think that?

What if you could keep the same background and composition, but compare it by changing only the person's impression?
You might be able to compare various ideas more easily, such as fashion visuals, social media posts, advertisements, or magazine layout drafts.

Creation doesn't end the moment it's finished. Comparing, worrying, and adding a few final touches.
I think that time is also one of the joys of creating work.😊

This time, I will introduce an AI tool that made that 'time spent nurturing the work' a little easier.

◆What is 'VidMage', which allows you to change only the person's impression while keeping the background and composition the same?

VidMage is a tool that allows you to use AI editing functions using images and videos.

What I am using this time is the face swap feature that allows you to replace the face of a person in an image with another face photo.

I felt that the appeal is being able to consider ideas while comparing the person's impression without having to perform image editing from scratch.

◆In what situations might VidMage be useful for fashion magazines or social media production?

When creating works with AI image generation,

There are times when you think, "I want to compare how the atmosphere changes just by changing the person."

I felt that VidMage's face swap feature could be useful when you want to compare only the impression of the person while maintaining the background and composition.
I felt that VidMage's face swap feature could be useful when you want to compare only the impression of the person while maintaining the background and composition.

The use cases I thought were "interesting and useful" are as follows.

This time, from among these,

"Comparing model images for fashion visuals"

is what I actually tried out.

◆ What I tried this time

This time, I used fashion visuals created with AI image generation to compare only the impressions of the people.

I kept the original image's

• clothing

• hairstyle

• background

• composition

• color tone

as they were, and used the face swap feature to change only the model's face.
As a result, even with the same visual, the impression received from the entire work changed as the facial features and expressions changed.

These are the models we will compare this time.

Model A (Elegant)

Model B (Cute style)

Model C (Mode/Fashionable atmosphere)

I will verify how much it changes with these three atmospheres.

Original image (Before)

After change (After)

◆ What I felt after actually using it

The good points

• The operation flow is easy to understand

• You can compare the impressions of people in the same composition

• There is no need to recreate the image from scratch

• There is no unnaturalness in facial parts and colors

• Easy to combine with other AI image generators and design tools

Points of concern

• The finish varies depending on the original image and the face photo

• Perhaps because it is designed to prevent facial distortion, the impression of the person changes naturally.

• On the other hand, rather than changing significantly into a different person, the impression was more of a 'change that makes the most of the original atmosphere'.

• It may become unnatural depending on the angle of the face (it finished naturally when facing front or diagonally front).

• When using real people or commercial materials, it is necessary to check portrait rights and usage permissions

◆ Points for a clean finish

For first-time users, I felt that keeping the following points in mind makes it easier to achieve a natural finish.

• Use images facing front or diagonally front

• Align the angles of the original image and the face photo

• Match the direction and brightness of the light

• Avoid images where the face is too small

• Zoom in to check details after generation

• Start by trying it with a simple upper-body image

◆ Summary

In this article, I used VidMage's face swap feature to explore scenarios where it could be useful for fashion magazines and social media production.

What I felt after actually trying it is that face swapping is not just a 'feature for changing faces,' but

a 'feature for comparing the same concept with different character impressions.'

It can also be utilized as such.

I felt it would be useful in situations where you want to compare and consider ideas before they are finalized, such as fashion visuals, Instagram posts, social media ads, and magazine layout design.

I personally feel that by combining VidMage, Canva, and others, rather than completing works solely with AI image generation, the options for production expand even further.

Perhaps creating a work is not just about 'completion,' but also about 'increasing the number of options.'

Even for those who have just started AI image production, comparing the impression of a person starting from a single image might lead to new discoveries.
As I used it, I also found new ideas expanding, thinking, 'I could use it this way too.'

◆ Finally

What I felt while using VidMage this time is that

AI is gradually changing from a 'tool for creating works' to a 'partner for nurturing works.'

That is what I mean.

Of course, in the end, it is the person who chooses.
Which works to keep.
What kind of worldview to convey.
I believe that will never change.

However,

"Maybe I'll try a little more."

"I'd like to see a different pattern."

When I thought that, I felt it was very reassuring to have something that makes taking that step easier.😊

The way I used it this time is just one example of what I tried.
I am sure that you will be able to find different ways to utilize it.
"This way of using it also looks interesting!"
If you have any ideas, please let me know in the comments.✨
That idea might lead to someone's new creative work.

Thank you very much for reading until the end today as well.
See you in the next article.🌹✨
