I’m curious – what tools or apps do you use to create ultra-realistic stock photos? Looking to explore some new options and would love to hear your recommendations!
I thought about this question after I found StockLibrary hidden in the all section of today's launches.

I use tools like Unsplash, Canva, and Pexels for high-quality stock photos, and Adobe Stock for more curated options. They offer a wide variety of ultra-realistic images!

I have tried a few third-party apps, but I feel that Midjourney is still doing the job best. A good prompt In combination with the url to an existing photo is almost always a winner at first shot.
@fabiosalvadori could you share url pls?

I have used mostly Midjourney and I was always surprised by the results. There are several websites from where you can get a good prompt in a style similar to what you are looking for.

@rohanrecommends For getting idea on styles I check websites like the one below and for ideas I use GPT. Enjoy!

@tiberiu_arva Do you have any recommendation for a site that can write good prompts or I can simply use the GPT to write prompts?

I've used Midjourney a bit and the results are impressive. The key seems to be crafting a detailed prompt with the visual elements you want. Stock photo sites work well as a starting point. Curious what other AI image gen tools people are finding success with for realistic photos?
Midjourney has been great for me too. DALL-E 2 and Stable Diffusion through DreamStudio are also solid options. The key is crafting a really detailed prompt to get the look you want. I also find that providing a reference image helps a ton in getting ultra-realistic results on the first try. There are some good prompt engineering guides out there to level up your AI image generation skills.
I've gotten the best results with Midjourney so far. The trick is to craft a very specific prompt describing exactly what you want, and combine it with a URL to an existing photo for style reference. With a good prompt and reference image, Midjourney almost always generates an amazing stock photo on the first try. Give that a shot and let me know how it goes!
Yeah Midjourney is great for realistic photos. I also like playing around with Stable Diffusion - the img2img mode where you upload a photo and it transforms it based on your prompt is super fun and can give really cool results. Takes some experimentation but once you get the hang of prompting it's a blast.

@rohanrecommends well, for now Midjourney and DALL-E are in the top list:)
you can try Dall.
