00's guy

Some process notes: What I am showing here is what SD gave me in the first image, and my edits with Photoshop in the second. The prompt for the AI was very simple: "shirtless guy in a garden swing with multicolored robes." I "roop'ed" SNL player, Andrew Dismukes to influence the face. I picked the best of 40 generated images from the prompt, and upsized it. In Photoshop, I cropped out whatever the heck was going on below his waist. Next, I attacked the obvious missing rope holding his swing up, by duplicating a bit of it, moving, blending, and blurring that bit to the subject's right shoulder. The next challenge was his left hand holding onto the rope. THREE FINGERS! Typical of AI generated images of course. I selected that section of the image, digitally added another finger with my limited Photoshop skills and sent it back to SD img2img to refine. I picked the best out of 30 iterations and pasted it back into place. Using Photoshop's AI-powered and insanely awesome new Remove Tool, I cleaned up a lot of blemishes and smoothed out the overly defined musculature and vascularity of the original AI-rendered image. I also selected small sections of the progress so far and nudged things around with PS's Liquify tool. Finally, the incredibly powerful Camera RAW tool of Photoshop cannot be underestimated. For my final rendering of this image, I made several adjustments to color, sharpness, tinting, noise, fog, etc. And I use a lot of the presets, including Adobe's own AI-adjustments such as "popping the subject". Overall, I upsize from Stable Diffusion an outrageous amount and work with that in Photoshop until I am satisfied. And then I downsize for sharing on social media. If you read this far and want to learn more of my process, then drop me a PM. I am happy to correspond with you whether you're doing gay pin-up imagery as I am, or any kind of generative art. I know the traditional analog media and digital artists who've worked hard on their craft are conflicted on this. I believe they will continue to persist. I want to be part of an emerging segment of digital and there is plenty of room!

Insanley good looking hunks you make! Must take hours. do you create them all from start?

It's a mix (and I should point out my starting points)...I either start with pure text of an idea, my own sketch, or a random photo off the web, that's not necessarily the look I'm looking for, but more about the staging and pose. Most of my images are pin-ups or portraits. Anything involving action or more than one person gets difficult. I'll bring it into Photoshop and nudge things around and correct fingers and limbs, and run it through the AI another time or 2 before finally polishing it Lightroom-ish for the final.

A good coding agent leaves less debris behind.

The first result gets all the screenshots. Day to day, I care more about the mess after it: extra steps, burned tokens, and that odd side effect hiding two prompts back.

A shorter loop and better recovery from unintended changes sound like backend notes. In practice, they let a builder stay with the idea instead of arguing with the tool.

Not cinematic. Still quality.

For a small team, the saved effort buys one more careful pass before shipping. That's a better upgrade than a louder demo.

Mình có 1 skill ngủ rất nhanh, đôi khi chỉ cần 30s để đưa cơ thể từ trạng thái active vào trạng thái ngủ hoàn toàn, và skill này khá hữu dụng mỗi khi muốn đi ngủ :)) Người vợ Min Kiều Miii của mình đã kêu dạy mấy lần mà vẫn chưa làm :)) thực ra tactic của nó khá là đơn giản và có thể điều chỉnh với từng người khác nhau. Cũng bắt đầu bằng những tactic cơ bản, chọn một chỗ nằm, ngồi với tư thế…

AI Marketing Automation Tools for Business Growth | Outgrowth Funnels

Businesses today are expected to respond faster, market smarter, and convert leads instantly. But managing emails, follow-ups, customer data, ads, and sales manually can quickly become overwhelming. That’s where AI marketing automation tools are changing the game.

Modern businesses are now using AI-powered systems to automate repetitive tasks, improve customer communication, and boost conversions without increasing team size. Platforms like Outgrowth Funnels combine CRM, automation, lead nurturing, analytics, and AI workflows into one smart platform.

AI automation tools help businesses capture leads automatically, send personalized emails, schedule follow-ups, and track customer behavior in real time. Instead of spending hours manually managing marketing campaigns, companies can focus on strategy and growth.

One of the biggest advantages of AI marketing automation is personalized customer engagement. AI analyzes customer behavior and automatically delivers the right message at the right time. Whether it’s email campaigns, SMS reminders, or chatbot interactions, businesses can create a better customer experience while saving valuable time.

Another major benefit is improved lead conversion. Research and industry discussions show that businesses using AI-driven funnels and automation systems experience better lead nurturing and faster sales cycles.

AI marketing automation also reduces operational costs. Instead of paying for multiple disconnected tools, businesses can centralize their marketing efforts in one platform. This improves workflow efficiency and eliminates data silos.

For small businesses and startups, automation creates a competitive advantage. AI-powered tools help businesses run campaigns 24/7, automate customer communication, and maintain consistency even with small teams.

As customer expectations continue to rise, businesses that rely only on manual marketing methods risk falling behind competitors. AI marketing automation tools provide smarter workflows, faster responses, and better customer experiences — all essential for scaling in 2026.

Companies that embrace AI today are positioning themselves for long-term growth, higher productivity, and increased profitability.
