Bring Your Creativity to Life with AI Drawing and Sketch to Image
I’ve always admired artists who can turn their ideas into beautiful drawings, but I’m not much of an artist myself. Thankfully, the Sketch to Image feature changes that! With Samsung’s smart AI, even my rough sketches turn into stunning images.
How to Use Sketch to Image
- Open a Photo: Go to your gallery and select the photo you want to work on.
- Tap the Photo Assist Icon: It looks like a group of stars.
- Choose Sketch to Image: Tap this option on the left to start drawing.
- Draw on the Image: Use your finger or an S Pen to sketch. Arrows at the bottom let you undo or redo your strokes.
- Zoom In and Out: Using two fingers, pinch or expand the image for easier sketching.
- Generate Variations: When you’re done sketching, tap Generate to let the AI turn your drawing into multiple artistic versions.
- Save Your Favorite: Swipe through the options, pick the one you love and tap Save Copy to keep it.
This tool is perfect for adding a creative touch to your photos, even if you’re not an artist. It’s simple, fun & results are amazing!
Easy Photo Editing Tips
Once your sketch becomes an image, you can make it even better with Smart Editing Suggestions. The AI analyzes your photo and gives options to improve it.
- Remaster: This tool fixes blurry photos by adjusting brightness, contrast, color, and even removes unwanted shadows and reflections. It makes your images look sharp and polished. You can compare the original and remastered versions by swiping the arrows. I love using this for my old photos!
- Live Effect: This turns your 2D images into a 3D simulation that seems to move back and forth.
- Background Blur: This option blurs the background to highlight the subject in the foreground. You can adjust blur intensity by dragging the slider.
Sometimes, background blur may not appear because of factors like poor resolution, bad lighting or being too close to the background.
How to Use These Suggestions
- Open the Gallery app and choose the photo you want to edit.
- Tap More (three dots) and select Details or swipe up.
- You’ll see all available Edit Suggestions. Try them out and save your favorite result.
These editing suggestions are quick and easy ways to improve your photos, making them look even better with minimal effort.
