An Unusual Creative Use for ChatGPT - Recreating PS Ink Roller Textures

I was clicking through Behance yesterday, thinking about adding some recent AI based work - when I stumbled across a series of Ink Roller Textures. They were well presented as these intricate Photoshop layers over images - and it got me thinking…

Can I use AI to recreate these Ink Roller Textures?

There was a time I had a pretty extensive collection of textures that I had purchased or produced myself for a wide range of client projects. These sit unused on hard-drives that have not been touched in years… but that does not prevent me from getting excited at the prospect of adding some new ones to the mix - or thoroughly enjoying the latest from an account I have followed for a very long time… True Grit Texture Supply.

Let’s get back to GenAI - and producing my own textures…

On Behance, I was digging thru this collection of Ink Roller Textures - much like I used to thumb thru the latest albums and later CD collections (yeah - I am that old…) - and wondered… HOW would I use AI to create these?

The first option was simple enough.

I could take a series of these textures - cut them up and make a custom Moodboard in Midjourney - and prompt for more just like them in black and white, --no color. These I could upscale, take to Photoshop and make into layered texture files.

Doable. Actually, more than doable, I have done variations of this before - but applied the textures right to the render results via --style reference.

But what about ChatGPT?
