Getty Images, a renowned creator and global marketplace for visual content, announced the introduction of a new model for its services and artificial intelligence (AI) generators. With this update, content generation reaches speeds of about 6 seconds for 4 images, doubling the performance of the previous model.
Driven by NVIDIA's cutting-edge technology, the new model offers significant improvements in image quality and generation speed. Text instructions, or 'prompts', are now more precise and can be longer, allowing for even greater customization according to each brand's identity and style. The quality of the enlarged images for 4K resolution has also been improved.
Key Features
– Ultra-fast Generation: The imaging speed now reaches about 6 seconds, doubling the performance of the previous model.
– Advanced Definition in 4K: The generated images have superior detail quality and fidelity, with advanced resolution expansion and improvements in definition in 4K.
– Improved Prompt Comprehension: More detailed text prompts result in images that better match the descriptions provided.
– Longer Prompts: Textual prompts can now be more complex, up to 250 words.
– Advanced Camera Controls: For best results, you can select the lens type and depth of field.
The update also brings features to modify images with AI, allowing adjustments to images generated by the tool and existing commercial photographs. Users can add, modify, or remove elements in the image, expand dimensions, or remove backgrounds with a single click. These features are already available on iStock and will soon be available on Getty Images.
"We continue to redefine the boundaries of what is possible with AI-generated images, and we do so responsibly," said Grant Farhall, Product Director at Getty Images. Our new model and the new capabilities we are launching will offer more opportunities for our clients to leverage AI. By combining this technology with our vast and incredible library of commercial photographs and videos, they will be able to bring their visions to life more efficiently and affordably than ever before, while ensuring commercial use safety and Getty Images' distinctive legal protection.
The advancements in this model are designed to benefit users across all types of industries, providing professionals and enthusiasts with powerful tools to streamline their creative workflows and enabling safe and effective experimentation with generative text-to-image AI.
Additionally, Getty Images has launched an option that allows corporate clients to customize AI models by incorporating distinctive elements of their brands into Getty Images' generative AI model. This ensures the production of images free of trademarks, logos, and other elements protected by third-party intellectual property rights.
The new model was trained exclusively with Getty Images' vast library of 'creative' images, ensuring that the content is specifically designed for commercial projects. Getty Images and iStock's AI generator complements the company's other offerings, including a vast library of images and videos, as well as custom content, enhancing the entire creative process for clients.
The model update uses the NVIDIA Edify model architecture, which is part of NVIDIA Picasso, an AI foundation for building and deploying generative AI models for visual content.
