😎 Krea has launched a completely free neuralphotoshop. Link: https://www.krea.ai/edit It’s super easy: you can expand images, replace objects, or generate new stuff right on the picture. The only downside so far is that the selection tool is rectangular, which isn’t always convenient. But who even cares about that when it’s totally free to use? 🔥 #3d #animation #marketing #mobilegames #creative #outsourcing #mobileapplications #mobilemarketing #gamedev #unrealengine
