Transform AI-Generated Images with Photoshop

AI images can feel too polished/simple—good for a start, but they often need a human touch to stand out. Here’s a tutorial showing how to add extra detail and fix issues in Photoshop.

Start with the Canvas: Use the Crop Tool to add space, then try Generative Expand to fill the gaps.
Tidy Up the AI Artifacts: Clean up extra fingers or odd textures with the Spot Healing Brush or Clone Stamp Tool.
Enhance the Background: Select it, use Generative Fill for stars, or drop in your own elements like planets or flames, blending with Adjustment Layers.
Get the Retro Look: Add bold color gradients and adjust tones with Replace Color or Gradient Maps.
Finish Strong: Add subtle film grain (Filter > Noise) and a vignette with the Burn Tool for that retro finish.

💡 Tip: Small details like glow effects or subtle grain can make a big difference.

Jump into Photoshop and give it a go! Got questions or want feedback? Post your work here...
