Many of us in the creative community, miss the grit of the darkroom, the unpredictability of a letterpress, the happy accidents of a photocopier running out of toner. We want that analog warmth, not digital perfection. The problem? Most "distressed typography / bad photocopy" filters and presets look fake and cheap - especially in AI. So today, we’re going to look at how to create authentic, grungy ink bleed and halftone effects using AI -... read more ›

Today, I want to zero in on a specific technique that’s been blowing my mind recently: applying complex textures to logos using Nano Banana Pro for style transfer. But more importantly, I want to talk about how we do it. Because as creative pros, we don't just need "magic buttons." We need control. We need replicable workflows. We need to understand the variables. Here's how: The Toolset: Weavy + Nano Banana For this workflow, I’m using... read more ›

Replicating analog imperfections in a digital space has always been the holy grail. And let’s be honest: most "VHS effects" out there are bad. You know the ones—they just slap a scanline overlay and some chromatic aberration on a perfectly sharp image. It looks like a filter. It doesn't look real. Today, I’m going to walk you through a workflow that nailed this effect so perfectly it actually surprised me, The goal here isn’t just to... read more ›

If you’ve been following the explosion of generative AI, you’ve probably hit the same wall I have. You spend an hour tweaking a prompt in Midjourney, rolling the dice over and over. You finally get the perfect lighting, the perfect film grain, and that intangible vibe you were chasing—but the specific details are wrong. The text is gibberish. The branding is off. The prop in the subject’s hand looks like an alien artifact. So you... read more ›

If you’ve been following the explosion of AI image generators lately, you know the landscape is shifting under our feet every single day. For creative professionals—photographers, designers, art directors—the question isn't "will AI replace us?" It's "is this the end of creativity or just the beginning?" and, more importantly, "which of these tools can actually help us execute our vision faster?" Today, I want to talk about Higgsfield Soul. I’ve been experimenting with it, and... read more ›

The internet is full of "hacks" on how to remove the Nano Banana watermark using clone stamps or third-party erasers. Don't do that. It degrades the image quality and wastes your time. If you really need to do it manually, Photoshop's healing brush tool is usually the easiest way. But the professional workaround is simple: Use the API. When you access the Nano Banana model through an API (Application Programming Interface), you generally bypass the... read more ›

Google recently dropped this update (built on their Gemini 3 model), and the buzz is real. But buzz doesn't pay the bills—workflow does. I’ve had my team dig into the specs and community questions to bring you the definitive Nano Banana Pro FAQs for creative professionals like photographers, designers, marketers, etc. Here's everything you need to know to decide if this tool belongs in your creative stack (and spoiler warning, it does): Q: What exactly... read more ›

If you’ve been following the explosion of generative AI, you know that we're all looking for the "edge." We’re looking for that secret syntax, that perfect workflow, or that one hack that turns a chaotic rigorous process into a predictable, high-quality output. Lately, I’ve been hearing a lot of chatter in the creative community about JSON prompting. The theory is seductive: By feeding AI models prompts formatted as code (JSON) rather than human sentences, you supposedly... read more ›

In the past, you had two bad options: spend five hours liquifying and puppet-warping in Photoshop until it looked "okay enough," or schedule a reshoot. Those days are over. We're now at a point where we can decouple the subject from the structure. With the new Gemini 3 Nano Banana Pro model, specifically using the Weavy node interface, you can take the "soul" of one image and snap it to the "skeleton" of another. Here is... read more ›

If you’ve been following the creative landscape lately, you know the noise level is at an all-time high. We are drowning in tools. You’ve got Midjourney for images, Runway for video, obscure GitHub repos for upscaling, and a dozen other browser tabs open just to get one asset out the door. That’s why Weavy (recently acquired by Figma and transitioning to "Figma Weave") has caught my attention. It’s not just another "magic button" generator. It’s... read more ›
