Introduction

Using AI image generation can significantly reduce the time from brainstorming ideas to creating assets. This article explains how to carry out an image generation and editing workflow using HackAIGC, which lets you handle AI chat, image generation, image editing, and AI video in a single workspace.

1. Put the purpose into words

First, decide what the image will be used for. The required dimensions and atmosphere vary depending on whether it is a blog cover image, a visual for a social media post, or an illustration for presentation materials.

• Purpose (e.g., a blog cover image)
• Mood (e.g., bright, simple, flat illustration style)
• Elements to include and elements to avoid

2. Refine the prompt in AI chat

You do not need to write the perfect instruction from the start. Tell the chat, “I want to create an image like this,” and have it organize the subject, composition, colors, and style, making it easier to create a prompt for image generation.

3. Generate and compare images

Generate multiple images using the refined prompt and compare their compositions and color tones. Once you find a direction you like, the key is to try making small changes to the visual expression.

4. Finalize with image editing

More often than not, editing a generated image in some way makes it better suited to your purpose than using it as is. Add adjustments to the background, remove unwanted elements, correct the color tones, and so on to finish it.

5. Expand it into a video if necessary

Once you have a still image, creating a short video from it (image-to-video) gives you an asset that is easy to use on social media or promotional pages.

Summary

Keeping the flow—defining the purpose, creating a prompt through chat, generating and comparing images, editing, and converting to video—in mind will help you create images efficiently. Start by trying it with a small use case.
