Artificial intelligence has become one of Samsung’s central pillars for its mobile devices since they introduced Galaxy AI in January this year, their portfolio of artificial intelligence functionsone that has continued to improve and add more features in recent months.
We recently saw the arrival of One UI 6.1.1, an update that, although it may seem minor, actually includes some very useful features for compatible Samsung Galaxy devices. If you have already received it, you will surely be happy to know that it hides a new tool for transform your photos in playful and original portraits.
How to Create Artistic AI Portraits Using Your Photos on a Samsung Galaxy
A user interface already includes advanced options for editing our images, even based on artificial intelligence. When Galaxy AI arrived, one of its coolest new features was the ability to expand the edges of an image to a certain extent, using generative artificial intelligencein addition to being able to move the position of subjects in the photo and make the results realistic.
Now, with the update to One UI 6.1.1, the operating system adds a new possibility: transform our photos and selfies into artistic portraitsby applying different effects. In other words, we can take a selfie and turn our face into some kind of cartoon or a character that looks like a Pixar movie.
Using this tool is very simple, we just need to follow these steps:
- We open any photo from the gallery that includes at least one person at medium or close distance. You can use a photo that we took with our cell phone or even a photo that was shared with us
- Click the pencil button at the bottom of the image
- Then we press the Galaxy AI Buttonwhich is to the left of the editing tools
- Now click on the button ‘portrait study‘ and if there is more than one person in the photo, we select the face that we want to turn into an artistic portrait
We can apply various effects to the portrait to give it the desired style; We currently have four options: Comics, 3D animation, watercolor and sketches. By choosing one, the tool will create a series of images based on the portrait, applying the desired effect. If we don’t like any of the results, we can press the button to generate more.
There is no limit, we can generate any images we want. To download the ones we like, just press the arrow button in the lower left corner of the image. It will be saved in the gallery with a tiny watermark indicating that it was created with artificial intelligence.
And that’s it, you can have fun creating an original avatar for your WhatsApp or for your social network accounts, or surprise your family members by taking their own portraits with AI.
