In recent years, there has been a proliferation of AI-based productivity tools and software. One of the most popular categories is photo editing software, which has made image modification much faster and cheaper, as compared to traditional photo editing tool.
AI-powered photo editing tools are helpful in removing the image background, removing an object from a picture or enhancing the quality of an image quickly and efficiently. Nowadays, a wide range of professionals, including small business owners, graphic designers, photo/video editors and social media users, are dependent on photo editing software for seamless production of professional-looking images.
What is Creative Fabrica Studio Desktop?
Creative Fabrica Studio Desktop is a newly launched application that allows Windows and Mac users to make use of supported local AI tools such as image generator, image background removal and image upscaling without the need to upload the images on a cloud server.
How Creative Fabrica Studio Desktop is Different?
Most of the AI-based image editing software needs cloud servers to work, which means that the user must upload the media to the company’s storage for processing. So, if a user needs to edit many images in a day, he/she would have to upload each image to the cloud server. Some editing software also has a token or coin-based system where each image edit costs a certain amount, so the users have to keep track of their tokens/coins as well. A user who has to edit many images daily may find these steps cumbersome, and costly.
Creative Fabrica Studio Desktop resolves all the above issues and provide a cost-effective, fast and professional approach to AI-powered photo editing.
