🌟 GPT of The Week

Bring Objects To Life

Cartoonizaion GPT

The Cartoonization GPT turns cold, boring bread into warm, delightful toast… Well, not literally.

When you upload an image to this GPT, it takes on the persona of the object — bringing it to life with humor and creativity by answering questions, sharing stories, and engaging in lively discussions from the object’s perspective. This can help you:

  • Capture customers’ attention with unique marketing campaigns & product descriptions

  • Understand customer needs by simulating queries & making products more relatable

  • Make learning fun by explaining historical artifacts, lab equipment, & more in an engaging way

  • Simplify complex information by presenting it from a relatable perspective

  • Attract forward-thinking clients & partners with captivating pitches & presentations

  • Spark innovative business strategies & creative writing ideas

For example, you could upload a photo of:

  • Your product to brainstorm ideas for personality-infused product descriptions & social media posts

  • A book to break down its concepts into simpler concepts

  • A cultural artifact to discover its history & significance

  • Lab equipment to learn its purpose, function, & related experiments & scientific principles

  • Any object to have conversations about it in another language, helping you practice vocabulary & sentence structure

💡 Quick Tutorial

Transform Sketches Into Detailed Photos

Unleash your creativity and boost efficiency by using Adobe Firefly (it’s free!) to transform your rough sketches into stunning photos or professional-grade artwork.

Transform Sketches Into Photos Example

By turning your doodles into dazzling digital masterpieces, you can:

  • Effortlessly experiment with various styles, colors, & compositions

  • Rapidly prototype & explore multiple concepts

  • Add realistic details & textures that are otherwise challenging to achieve

  • Communicate ideas more effectively to clients & stakeholders

  • Create art easily — just for the fun of it!

How To Do It

Step 1: Ensure your sketch is in a digital format using a scanner or by taking a photo with your phone. Convert it to a .png or .jpeg format (you can use the Convert Anything GPT to do this).

Step 2: Go to Adobe Firefly (or access Firefly via Creative Cloud) & navigate to the Text-to-Image Module.

Step 3: Into the text bar, type in a prompt that describes your sketch and anything else you want in your new image. Hit ‘Generate’.

Step 4: In the ‘Settings’ panel, set your desired aspect ratio.

Step 5: Under ‘Content type’, select either ‘Photo’ for a more photorealistic feel or ‘Art’ for an illustrative style.

Step 6: Under ‘Composition’, select ‘Upload Image’ to add your sketch as a reference image. Use the ‘Strength’ slider to adjust how closely the new image follows your sketch (all the way to the right = more similar).

Optional Step: Under ‘Styles’, adjust the visual intensity (i.e., the level of detail & complexity), and select any ‘Effects’, ‘Color and Tone’, ‘Lighting’, or ‘Camera Angle’ options that you want applied to the new image.

Step 7: Hit ‘Generate’.

Step 8: Experiment to get the image you want by adjusting your prompt (e.g., say ‘detailed oil painting’ or ‘made of yarn’), changing various settings, or trying different effects.
