Many may have noticed there's an image to text feature in many AI generators. If you're like me you've probably just shrugged it off, after all why waste credits on that?
Well, while searching for something else, I stumbled on a free img2txt tool. Probably not as good as the one here but, intrigued, I uploaded a movie still. What I got was not that spectacular a description, yet useful. The kind of basic description that's easy to work with.
Here's the prompt I created from one of the outputs. Text in green is the AI generated text. Text in yellow was my edit. Text in blue were my additions to the prompt.
In a dimly lit, mysterious temple chamber, three women stand in a circle, with one in a striking red robe dramatically raising her arms as if invoking a powerful spell. The second woman exudes an air of apprehension, while the third observes with intrigue. In the center, a figure lies on a table, draped in white. Explore themes of mysticism, women's empowerment, and the tension between fear and curiosity. Hyper-realistic, cinematic, Technicolor, creative, extremely intricate detail, majestic, mythical, museum-quality, anatomically correct, realistic, realism, lifelike textures, Occult Symbolism, chiaroscuro, volumetric lighting, hyperdetailed, art trending on Artstation, DeviantArt, classic insufficiently attired occult art in style of Frank Cho, Stephen Youll, Don Maitz, Frank Frazetta, Luis Royo, Julie Bell, Frank Kelly, Ninjartist.
Not a terrible prompt. I'd probably change a lot more, especially that last sentence (in the original green text prompt), to give it a more sinister horror movie vibe. However it works okay as is. Granted the images created with basic models sometimes don't look that great. Save, of course, for Flux, which was used to generate the cover image. What's interesting is how simple the descriptions created were.
If you just need help describing a scene I'd say give the text to image tool a try. I certainly will in future. Especially for movie stills.
Have fun.
