Introduction and Index

AI-Generated Images for Book Illustrations is a new blog for authors about taking advantage of artificial intelligence to illustrate our books.

It is not appropriate for all books, of course. And perhaps for only a few.

This blog describes my learning process, tools, and conclusions.

The Tools
Find out about the NightCafe website and the DiffusionBee desktop computer software that I use for generating images.

The First Ouch
The hindsight obvious reality I should have thought of before making plans.

AI Software, a Tool I Use

Removing Imprefections
Read about how extraneous text was removed from an AI-generated image.

The Children's Book Cover Image
Hat images for the children's book were generated from a drawing. The drawing kept the images similar enough to appear as the same hat.

The First Three Pages
This is a discussion related to the images and the words to be published in the first 3 pages of the The Hat Who Lost Its Head children's book — the inside front cover, page 1, and page 2.
