LN9Lens & it's AI, Explained
LN9Lens is primarily about LN9 residents and their own Videos, Photo's and Documents. (Media)
However, there are times when all or any of those elements, may need some form of editing. This can either be conventional via the owner or LN9Lens using it's own Creative Cloud Pro account, i.e. Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Illustrator etc. and sometimes with the aide of AI, so long as declared as such.
LN9Lens uses conventional media editing and AI.  These LN9Lens, AI elements, may prove of interest to some of you regardless of your computer skills, if any.Â
LN9Lens with AI
LN9Lens - AI Usage
As already mentioned, there are a number of AI functions. Here in LN9Lens we only use one of those:
As this function suggests, it helps me GENERATE imagery based on my own imagery, edit my own much quicker, or generate its own, but always subject to my Prompts and cost!
Yes there are costs subject to its abilities. Â
What AI do we use?
All AI we use is Generative and includes:
GPTChat via Open AI.
Adobe Firefly.
Create Studio for our Animated Videos of differing styles.
Â
GPTChat  - This we use to generate text, such as Suggestions and Stories etc, or Prompts to generate detail that will save time and costs when using Firefly to generate imagery.
Adobe Firefly - Used to Generate & Edit imagery. We use this AI as it is commercially safe regarding Copyright, but you will never get a 100% guarantee, even if AI generated from your own imagery.
 Â
Create Studio - This is a stand alone software for generating Animated Characters and their speech from text added by the user or GPTChat. With all elements for video creations, with or without user added imagery. It is also a user of its own AI Creativity which is not as Generative as Firefly but Firefly can be included to any Create Studio generation.  Â
Our AI
Generative Text Example "Chat & ASK AI"
I asked, Chat & Ask AI..."Write me a 150 word explanation of The Wolds and Fens of Lincolnshire.Â
​
My Prompt.  Generate 150 words that describe the Lincolnshire Wolds compared to the flat fens.
​
AI Response. Â
​
The Lincolnshire Wolds and the Flat Fens
The Lincolnshire Wolds and the Fens may be close neighbours, but they offer two very different landscapes. The Wolds rise gently from the surrounding countryside, with rolling hills, winding lanes and sweeping views stretching across fields and distant villages. Their green slopes change with the seasons, from golden crops in summer to rich browns and fresh greens in spring. Hidden valleys, ancient hedgerows and quiet villages give the Wolds a peaceful, timeless character.
By contrast, the Lincolnshire Fens are remarkably flat and open. Once vast wetlands, they have been transformed by drainage into productive farmland, criss-crossed by straight dykes, drainage channels and roads. The enormous skies seem to stretch endlessly towards the horizon, creating a sense of space quite unlike the sheltered folds of the Wolds.
Together, the Wolds and Fens reveal two contrasting faces of Lincolnshire: one rolling and intimate, the other wide, level and wonderfully expansive.
I will now take you through the practical process of creating a 1 minute Generative AI, using only my prompts from above to do so, in real time.
​
-
Generate 150 words for AI to consider and rearrage in a promotional fashion of salient point.
-
Open Animation Software called Create Studio. To produce what’s called an AI Explainer. Videos are great tools for getting a message across. I could create my own but not only will it take a day or 2, it will be to long to retain interest, certainly if trying to promote something.
-
Fill in the requested items.
-
Press Generate.
-
Check outcome, change what I wish
-
Render as a completed video.
-
Upload to the website.
Another AI style but still generative in CreateStudio:
-
Open Create Studio and then Create a AI-VSL.
-
Fill in direct this time although I could generate text.
-
Generate

Another AI Style but slightly longer, known though as a Short.
Using all the same principles. However every generation costs me credits.

COPYRIGHT & Accuracy
​
Copyright will never get a definitive answer to owning a AI Generated Image as Full Copyright. It will depend on a number of factors, such as, What AI engine was used, was it created from scratch by AI or from an image you can hand on Heart say is yours.
​
This is why I generally use Firefly as it is considered commercial safe to use as it draws imagery and ideas from non-copyright stock within Adobe Stock to use directly or as part of altering my copyright imagery to my prompts. If using others, always use from your own copyright photos you wish to use as a base-Line.
​
Accuracy is not consistent, some AI engines are far more accurate than others.  Speeling is a big issue with some, as are face, eyes and hands. However the more upmarket you go, the more detail is applied. I use Adobe Firefly 4 Ultra or 5 for the best in details, it seldom goes wrong but uses my credits. If there are no words to create Firefly 3 & 4 is ok. It is no different to trade tools, generally the more they cost the better they are. I do use other tools but always starting with my own images.
​

​
Another Example, from our recent holidays...This still photo is as was taken. This has 2 good reasons to use:
1. I own the full copyright as permitted by my family.
2. So long as I use with Firefly AI Engine, it is a fairly safe bet on-going copyright is commercially safe, as directed within Adobe Firefly.
​
My Original
PhotoÂ
Use Firefly AI Engine, to Adjust my original with this Prompt...
Extend the boat showing Ally the dog as Captain and steering the boat with 4 passengers behind on a river with trees either side and expensive yachts moored around. Point to Note(maybe). It placed the 4 passengers as requested but left the person in situ behind the dog. This is so the photo can not be used to show unsafe motor boating practice. (assumed, as I tried 3 times to adjust it out)
​
AI Adjusted photo, (took 2 minutes)
Firefly Video Generation, I created this video via a Firefly prompt. Point to note. I did it twice, as the 1st version used American ascents as I omitted to add in the prompt, British Nationals ascents. You have to be precise.
​
AI Adjusted photo above to this Video x 2 (took 5 minutes)
Create Studio
Hopefully you have already seen evidence of Create Studio generations throughout LN9Lens, which incorporates both AI, Text, AI Imagery and Animations. Again the emphasis is on speed compared to conventions Animation creations. It offers a variety of styles of video creation, with or without your own imagery. Click Here to see the web-based Program
​
It does a useful and generally acceptable output of specialised videos and certainly fast, (30 mins or so, can easily produce a 3 min. animated video, but its AI capability is not at the same level as Firefly. However, Firefly images can be used in "Create Studio" video creations, whatever style. WARNING. Watch out for spelling errors in any AI Generation use.
