In this beginners guide to AI image processing for print on demand we go best practices and common issues that come up when processing AI images.
We cover how to use color range masking, color range deletion, copy pasting based on color range, as well as using different AI tool solutions like Pixian and ChatGPT to end up with final images that are ready for upscaling and uploading.
We do use Adobe Photoshop but you don't need Photoshop to understand the basic methods required to process images. Most good image processing tools will allow you to use these methods - the methods are not tied to Photoshop specifically.
