It is not back. I deleted the unfound image and uploaded again in its stead. :-)

OK, so no magic trick involved here…

I like these. I've never tried creating something using AI from a blank white canvas. Might be an interesting experience. Do you use any real-life pictures as references?

Thank you Eric!

I love the second one! Those tulips covered in dew are something

Works just fine!

I just got home from work. It's now dark out and it was a dreary SoCal day anyway (May gray/June gloom), no good for photos.

So I fire up the Photoshop beta on a 2020 M1 MacBook Pro and, working from a blank white canvas, create some fantasy Luminous Landscapes in minutes using Generative Fill...

Let's use this thread to post your own AI landscape renders. You can use the PS beta or one of the diffusion apps (even run them at the same time for efficiency of output), but let's stick to landscapes.

Here are my latest "babbling brook in the woods" renders.

It seems sad to have to say this but you'd probably be better off buying a good used Canon ipf8400 or a Epson 9000.

I am still running a Canon ipf6300 and never get a bad print.  It can go unused for a month, do a couple of automated cleaning cycles and then produce a pristine print.  Inks more archival than later Canon printers like the Pro-2000 and on.  I did have to replace the printheads eventually, but that is very easy to do.  The P9570 may have a slightly larger gamut in some colors, but don't know if that would be visible in most prints.  Certainly not worth trying to tame the 7570/9570 and ending up tearing your hair out.

Taken with my 2 favorite lenses for Fuji, the 35 F1.4 and 90 F2, my main reason for still sticking with Fuji despite having way too many cameras/systems

Thank you Eric!

That's quite pretty, and the photos are not too shabby either 

Thanks both, I'd searched around and think I knew deep down the 9500/9570 was a bad call but was in denial hoping some people would pop out and say "it's perfect now"! It's a shame, the new Epson models all have quite serious issues, and I'd rather not buy an older model that support might be dropping for soon.

The HP Z9+ seems... good? Just doesn't seem to be talked about as much, so I can't tell if the lack of complaints is due to lack of popularity or if it's a silent powerhouse. Most print suppliers I've looked at near me stock Canon/Epson, and some of the smaller brand paper suppliers only have profiles for Canon/Epson printers so as a newbie I'll be working in the dark a little more figuring things out without the same community resources I'd have access to using Canon/Epson.

Canon lucia pro ink permanence is just somewhere shy of what I'm happy with, but can likely get over it as the imagePROGRAF PRO-X100 series just seem like great all rounders.

it feels like all the companies were so close to having the perfect printer formula but missed the mark somewhere serious 

Just completely torn between the Z9+ and Canon Pro's, if anyone has experience with both please chime in!
