The gallery site Shutterstock announced the addition of a new set of AI-based features “creative editing” to improve and perfect the company’s more than 700 million high-quality image library of images.
The feature, which is still in beta, utilizes the company’s preferred access to OpenAI’s latest technology and allows users to use AI to generate new content or simply edit or transform any image in the Shutterstock library, according to the report.
The “Creative Editing” suite of features, which will be demoed live at the November 9 showcase, features six categories, as well as ancillary features such as AI design assistants and a range of filters that are said to be the “most advanced” in the industry. The six categories of features are as follows:
Magic Brush: Simply brush on the area you want to modify and simply describe what you want to add, replace or erase.
Variants: Alternative options for generating any stock or AI-generated image.
Enlargement: Expand the view of any image as easily as zooming through a camera lens to see more of the scene behind the center of the image.
Smart Resize: Automatically change the shape of an image to fit the desired size.
Background Remover: Remove or replace the background of any scene when the subject of the image is perfect but the background is not.
AI Image Generator: Launched in beta earlier this year and soon to be updated to the latest version of Dall-E, this tool allows anyone to create high-quality, ethically-sourced visuals (ready to be licensed and ready for commercial use) in seconds, simply by describing what they are looking for.In addition, after the image has been edited by the said tool, the user will be licensed and the original author of the image will be compensated accordingly.
As previously reported in July this year, Shutterstock announced that it would continue its partnership with OpenAI for another six years, allowing OpenAI to use images, videos, and music within the Shutterstock platform to train AI models during this period.
Shutterstock first partnered with OpenAI in 2021, when it allowed OpenAI to use its images to train the text-generating image model DALL-E.
The Shutterstock platform has always been encouraging of AI, fully embracing it, but this also means that Shutterstock will face the challenge of copyright lawsuits over AI-generated content, for which Shutterstock has previously said it will be responsible for copyright lawsuits over users’ use of AI images on the platform.
