#Whisk did a good job here in this scene of maintaining the consistency of Leonidas from different angles I requested: From the side, from behind, and a closeup with the fire glow. #AIineducation #Google #EduSky #SSchat

This is a handy trick I discovered a few weeks back when creating the Battle of Thermopylae graphic novel... You can take a #Google #Whisk output (enhanced prompt +seed) and bring it into #ImageFX... #Canvaedu #Canva #AIineducation #SSchat #EduSky

History teachers of the early to mid 20th century, have you ever searched "silent film" in #Canva elements. Some fun possibilities for student movie making as there are a lot of old text graphics, video filters, and more! Here is mine on prohibition #Canvaedu #AIineducation #Edusky

Early strategy in #whisk, upload the same image across subject, scene, and style. Write subtle changes in prompt bar, open an output, tweak and regenerate. Pretty consistent character and style! #AIineducation #EduSky #Google #EdTech
