Modify Your Photos With Gemini Native AI Image Editing

Gemini Native AI Photo Editing

Gemini Native AI Image Editing lets you edit uploaded and created photographs using Gemini's latest version.

Early this year, Google was the first to directly provide Gemini Native AI Image Editing via AI Studio. It's adding these capabilities to the Gemini app after customers' positive feedback.

Google makes it easy to edit photographs and AI creations from your computer or phone. You may change the backdrop, add elements, and switch stuff. You may submit a photo of yourself and ask Gemini to visualise you with several haircuts.

using this user-friendly, multi-step editing option, you can develop richer, more relevant prompt solutions using text and visuals. You may ask Gemini to write and illustrate a dragon bedtime tale preview.

The unobtrusive SynthID digital watermark is standard for all AI-generated photographs with Gemini, including native image creation. Additionally, it is trying adding a visible watermark on every Gemini photo. In the next weeks, Gemini will offer native picture editing in over 45 languages and most countries.

AI Studio was the first to provide native AI photo editing to individuals.

We were the first to bring Gemini Native AI Image Editing to people via AI Studio earlier this year. Users' positive comments inspired the addition of these features to the Gemini app.

Which app currently edits images natively?

New Gemini Native AI Image Editing is available in the app.

How sources describe it:

The latest Gemini version adds Native AI Image Editing.

Following the success of AI Studio, these capabilities are being introduced to the Gemini app.

AI-generated photographs and photos uploaded from your computer or phone may be edited easily in the Gemini app.

You may add stuff, modify the backdrop, switch objects, and more. Uploading a picture and asking Gemini for different hair hues is an example.

This multi-step editing function is simple.

Images edited with Gemini's native image editing tool will have the invisible SynthID digital watermark. Also, Google is exploring adding a visible watermark to all Gemini-generated photos.

Native photo editing is being gradually added to the Gemini app, and in the following weeks, it should be available in most countries and over 45 languages.

What watermarks will AI photos have?

AI photos generated or changed using Gemini's native image generation capability will feature watermarks.

The invisible SynthID digital watermark is always present in natively created or edited photos. This applies to all Gemini-generated AI photographs.

Google is also trying adding a visible watermark on every Gemini image.

As a result, Gemini's AI images may include an undetectable watermark or an obvious one as research continues.

it is hard to explain but there is something so unwell about the cultural fear of ugliness. the strange quiet irradiation of any imperfect sight. the pores and the stomachs and the legs displaced into a digital trashbin. somehow this effect spilling over - the removal of a grinning strangers in the back of a picture. of placing more-photogenic clouds into a frame. of cleaning up and arranging breakfast plates so the final image is of a table overflowing with surplus - while nobody eats, and instead mimes food moving towards their mouth like tantalus.

ever-thinner ever-more-muscled ever-prettier. your landlord's sticky white paint sprayed over every surface. girlchildren with get-ready-with-me accounts and skincare routines. beige walls and beige floors and beige toys in toddler hands. AI-generated "imagined prettier" birds and bugs and bees.

pretty! fuckable! impossible! straighten teeth. use facetune and lightroom and four other products. remove the cars along the street from the video remove the spraypaint from the garden wall remove the native plants from their home, welcome grass. welcome pretty. let the lot that walmart-still-owns lay fallow and rotting. don't touch that, it's ugly! close your eyes.

erect anti-homelessness spikes. erect anti-bird spikes. now it looks defensive, which is better than protective. put the ramp at the back of the building, you don't want to ruin the aesthetic of anything.

you are a single person in this world, and in this photo! don't let the lives of other people ruin what would otherwise be a shared moment! erase each person from in front of the tourist trap. erase your comfortable shoes and AI generate platforms. you weren't smiling perfectly, smile again. no matter if you had been genuinely enjoying a moment. you are not in a meadow with friends, you're in a catalogue of your own life! smile again! you know what, forget it.

we will just edit the right face in.

It's incredibly frustrating and exhausting to have to question every piece of media that passes your screen as to whether or not it was made with generative ai. I don't like that I can't trust people not to use the literal theft machine for their projects. Especially when it comes to indies.

Like, so there's a new indie horror game called Zoochosis, right? I have no stakes in Zoochosis, a game about a zookeeper that's trying to stop the spread of a mutation with the animals isn't really my speed. But I'd heard of the people who made it before, and I wanted to see if they'd grown. The devs behind it are also responsible for another game, Sparky Marky, which used ai voices, much to my frustration. I tuned into a stream today where someone was playing it, and after hearing a little bit of the dialogue from Doc, I asked if they'd hired actual voice actors. The streamer seemed unconvinced that they had. So I immediately turned it off and decided to go hunting instead, because I needed to know if real people voiced in Zoochosis. I needed to know if this dev team learned anything from their last experience.

Thankfully, there are credits for the voice actors of this game, but they're very far down, which is a little disappointing. The common threads between them is that most of them have a Fiverr page, so I imagine they were hired through there, but I can't confirm that. Frankly I don't love Fiverr given they are also run rampant with generative ai right now, it's not inspiring confidence. But a number of these voice actors have full on websites for their voice work that seem pretty legit to me. In the case of Doc's voice, Tim Stephenson, most of his work is in commercial voice over, not character voice acting, so that explains some of what I was hearing. Commercial VO and character acting for games, shows, etc. are different skills with different needs. Just because someone can do one very well doesn't necessarily mean they're perfectly equipped to do both, especially when I didn't see credits for a voice director here. Without a director, you're recording remotely and going off of your instincts, and while many actors can have great instinct for performing, getting a performance that fits the vision of the project still requires some communication.

I think it's too soon to tell if these actors were actually paid for voice acting, of if these are ai voices synthesized from their likeness. The game is so new that it hasn't shown up on their imdb credits or personal website credits yet, and until it does, I'm gonna be a little skeptical. At the same time, there are many explanations for why the voice acting sounded off. The dev team behind Zoochosis has a lot of names that lead me to believe they may not be native English speakers (and I'm fairly certain I've heard that from others too). Writing and editing dialogue for a game in a language you don't speak is NOT EASY! That's a big ask, and if that's what's happening here, then I'd actually be very impressed by the quality of what I'd heard. It's just...frustrating. I expect this from big corporations and companies, but Zoochosis is an indie game. The folks over at Clapperheads are a small team making this thing real. And I'm troubled by the idea of an indie team, something built on passion and a desire for creative freedom, using generative ai. They're not the only ones to do so. Pastra, a YouTuber who loves indie horror, has started a series of videos that play into this found footage/news broadcast horror story, and for part of it, they used ai generated images of photographs of children to represent the victims of the monster. And they defended this by saying that it was better to use these generated images of children than actual real children. And I'm just sitting here confused by that. Because like, the model that that generative ai is trained on is using stolen images of real children to make those fake photos. So not only does it fall under using a child's image without consent, but you don't even know what children you've stolen the visage from. That is not a good look. The same goes for Indigo Park. AI was used for the opening footage of Issac Indigo introducing the park, and that's part of why his facial movements are so janky. Mason from UniqueGeese at least apologized and said he'd do better next time, but like...the chapter 1 revamp came out and that wasn't changed.

It's small stuff and big stuff, but either way, it's not okay. Until generative ai is trained only on data that is given to its developers consensually, it is not a viable tool for creation. It's not ready to be tested until the ethics part is worked out, and even then, I don't think I'd ever want to touch it. Like I get it, game development is hard, and in the indie scene, it's hard to make it all come together. But also, I expect a project built on passion to at least TRY to be creative in its solutions, and for the people making it to know better than to use stolen content. I expect better. Maybe I'm wrong for expecting better. But I expect better.

I'm just...disappointed. It makes me feel like I can't touch anything in modern media. Like I may as well go back and only play games, watch shows/movies, and explore stories made before 2023. At least then I can trust that it was probably done without the use of the theft machine. That's such a hopeless thing, giving up on modern art and all the potential it comes with. I don't want to give up on art. I don't want to give up on people telling meaningful stories in modern times. Please, humans, keep making art with your own two hands. Please give me something to be hopeful for.

Please submit your work to the collection. 

Fill out the submission form.

Happy Harryglotting!! 🥰

[rekilover]

i just read that using “—“ in fics make people think it’s written with AI, books where i belong use that stuff when a character speak so i’m confused ?? people in this app don’t use —, instead they use “” ?? maybe i need to change my writing . Please educate me.

I wish english was my native language so i could use words more accurate in my fics that i use in the drafts (that is in spanish) for example the one in the image that’s it’s from my first post.

Edited: I did a research with the differences with english and spanish books and its seem that they don’t really use —, lol. So it’s kind like a cultural schock for me. But I hope this can explain that i DONT use AI, it’s just how i learned to writte in my country.

28/3/25 AI Development

So i made a GAN image generation ai, a really simple one, but it did take me a lot of hours. I used this add-on for python (a programming language) called tensorflow, which is meant specifically for LMs (language models). The dataset I used is made up of 12 composite photos I made in 2023. I put my focus for this week into making sure the AI works, so I know my idea is viable, if it didnt work i would have to pivot to another idea, but its looking like it does thank god.

A GAN pretty much creates images similar to the training data, which works well with my concept because it ties into how AI tries to replicate art and culture. I called it Johnny2000. It doesnt actually matter how effective johnny is at creating realistic output, the message still works, the only thing i dont want is the output to be insanely realistic, which it shouldnt be, because i purposefully havent trained johnny to recognise and categorise things, i want him to try make something similar to the stuff i showed him and see what happens when he doesnt understand the 'rules' of the human world, so he outputs what a world based on a program would look like, that kind of thing.

I ran into heaps of errors, like everyone does with a coding project, and downloading tensorflow itself literally took me around 4 hours from how convoluted it was.

As of writing this paragraph, johnny is training in the background. I have two levels of output, one (the gray box) is what johnny gives me when i show him the dataset and tell him to create an image right away with no training, therefore he has no idea what to do and gives me a grey box with slight variations in colour. The second one (colourful) is after 10 rounds of training (called epoches), so pockets of colour are appearing, but still in a random noise like way. I'll make a short amendment to this post with the third image he's generating, which will be after 100 more rounds. Hopefully some sort of structure will form. I'm not sure how many epoches ill need to get the output i want, so while i continue the actual proposal i can have johnny working away in the background until i find a good level of training.

Edit, same day: johnny finished the 100 epoch version, its still very noisy as you can see, but the colours are starting to show, and the forms are very slowly coming through. looking at these 3 versions, im not expecting any decent input until 10000+ epochs. considering this 3rd version took over an hour to render, im gonna need to let it work overnight, ive been getting errors that the gpu isnt being used so i could try look at that, i think its because my version of tensorflow is too low. (newer ones arent supported on native windows, id need to use linux, which is possible on my computer but ive done all this work to get it to work here... so....)

how tf do i make it display smaller...

anyways, heres a peek at my dataset, so you can see that the colours are now being used (b/w + red and turquoise).

Favorite Firefox Extensions

Firefox is a very extensible browser - through a combinations of addons and userscripts you can make it behave just about any way you want. The best part is, they're all free. Here are some of my favorites.

Note: if you have an Android device, check out my post about Firefox for Android's new extended support for addons!

Note: if you have an Apple device, check out my favorite Safari extensions here!

Last updated Feb 2025 (updated list of languages supported for native, local translation by Firefox).

Index:

uBlock Origin

Tab Session Manager

Sauron

Bypass Paywalls Clean

Auto Tab Discard

Video DownloadHelper

Highlight or Hide Search Engine Results

TWP - Translate Web Pages

UnTrap - YouTube Customizer

Indie Wiki Buddy

Cookie Auto Delete

ShopSuey - Get Rid of Ads on Amazon and Ebay

LibraryExtension

Absolute Enable Right Click & Copy

uBlock Origin

(compatible with Firefox for Android)

This is the first addon I install on any new Firefox browser. It's an adblocker, but at its core it can remove pretty much any HTML element from a website, and it comes with pre-configured lists for removing everything from ads to cookie banners to those annoying popups that ask you to sign up for email newsletters.

Tab Session Manager

Have you ever accidentally lost all your open browser tabs due to a computer update, or even just accidentally closing Firefox? With this addon you no longer have to worry about that - it automatically saves your open tabs and windows every time the browser closes, and autosaves a restore point of tabs every few minutes in case the browser crashes unexpectedly. Opening all your previous tabs and windows is a one-click deal.

Sauron

Ever wished your favorite website had a dark mode? With Sauron, now it can! Sauron attempts to intelligently figure out how to edit the color scheme of the web page (including text) to make it dark-mode friendly. It preserves the original color of images, but dims them so that they don't blind you. You can disable image dimming or dark mode on a site by site basis too. It's not perfect since it is making guesses about which colors to change, but it goes a long way toward making the internet an enjoyable place for me.

Bypass Paywalls Clean

This addon removes paywalls from hundreds of news websites around the world or adds links to open the article in a wrapper that provides the article text (like the Internet Archive etc.)

Auto Tab Discard

Ever wanted to keep a tab open for later use, but you notice the browser getting slower and slower the more tabs you have open? Auto Tab Discard will automatically "hibernate" tabs that you haven't used in a while so that they use less resources on your computer. It's smart enough not to hibernate pages that are playing media (like YouTube) or that have forms you haven't submitted yet (like job applications). You can customize how fast it puts tabs to sleep too and exclude certain websites from hibernating at all.

Video DownloadHelper

This addon can download streaming videos from most modern (HTML5) websites, and even finds soft subtitles that accompany the stream and downloads those too. Just browse to the webpage that has the video on it, click the icon in the Firefox toolbar, and select the video you want to download and click "Quick Download". For YouTube I would recommend using a YT downloader website (like KeepVid) to download the video directly, but Video DownloadHelper really shines for websites that aren't popular enough to have dedicated downloader websites like that. I've used it download videos from a Japanese film festival streaming portal, news websites, etc.

Highlight or Hide Search Engine Results

This addon allows you to blacklist websites and completely remove them from Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo search results. Don't want to see image search results from AI websites? Blacklist them. Searching for tech support advice and getting frustrated by all the auto-generated junk websites that stuff themselves full of SEO terms to jump to the top of the search results without actually providing any information at all? Blacklist them so they don't come up in your next search. Conversely, you can also whitelist websites that you know and trust so that if they ever come up in future search results, they'll be highlighted with a color of your choosing for visibility.

TWP - Translate Web Pages

(compatible with Firefox for Android)

Does what it says on the tin: auto-detects a website's language and provides a button that can translate it to a language of your choosing. You can also just select individual text on the page and translate just that. Note that this sends whatever text you translate to the servers of your selected translation service (Google, Bing, Yandex, or DeepL), so keep in mind the privacy implications if you don't want your IP address associated with having read that text.

Edit: As of version 118, Firefox now has the ability to translate text locally on your computer, without needing to send it to a cloud service. You can enable this in Settings -> Translation -> Install languages for offline translation. Note that at this time (Feb 2025), 31 languages are supported - Russian, Korean, Chinese (simplified), and Japanese were recently added. More info here.

UnTrap for YouTube

(compatible with Firefox for Android and they have a Safari for iOS extension too)

This addon lets you tweak the YouTube interface and hide anything you don't want to see. For instance, I hide all the "recommended" videos that come up when you search YT now. They have nothing to do with your search, so they're essentially just ads YT puts in your search results. I also hide Explore, Trending, More from YouTube, and Shorts sections, but you can customize it to fit your preferences.

Note: depending on the particular set of tweaks you want to make to YouTube, you may prefer to use YouTube Search Fixer instead. User preference.

Indie Wiki Buddy

I loathe Fandom.com wiki sites - they are cluttered and filled with ads and autoplaying videos that follow you down the page as you scroll. The organization is also hostile - if a community tries to leave their platform and bring their content to a new wiki hoster, Fandom bans them from the platform and reverts all their deletions/changes. Indie Wiki Buddy attempts to find an independent alternative for the wiki you're trying to browse and automatically redirects you to it, and if one doesn't exist, it will redirect you to a proxy site like antifandom or breezewiki that shows the Fandom content but removes all ads/videos/background images so you can actually, you know. READ it.

Cookie Auto Delete

(compatible with Firefox for Android)

Websites store "cookies" - little text files with info about you - on your computer as you browse so they can track you as you browse the internet. This addon automatically deletes cookies from a website a short while after you close the last tab you had open for that site. You can customize how long it waits before clearing cookies too. Note that this can sign you out of many websites, so you can whitelist any site you don't want cookies cleared for.

ShopSuey - Get Rid of Ads on Amazon and Ebay

Removes the ads/recommended products that clutter up Amazon and Ebay search results and product pages.

LibraryExtension

This fantastic addon recognizes when you are viewing a book on many popular websites and can automatically check whether that book is available in any of the library systems or subscription services you have access to, including how many copies your library(ies) have and how many are currently checked out. The best part is it shows the availability for physical books, ebooks, AND audiobooks at supported libraries. The extension currently supports libraries in Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States, but it also supports some global repositories like the Internet Archive and subscription services like NLS Bard for the blind and print disabled, Kobo Plus, Libro.fm, Anyplay.fm, Bookmate, and Everand. Great extension for people trying to support their local library and also save money.

Filtering+ for Tumblr

This addon lets you add tags or phrases to your tumblr tag filters with two clicks, without leaving the dashboard. I've been asking Tumblr for this tag filtering behavior on their mobile apps (i.e. press and hold a tag to get a filter option) for at least a year now in asks and surveys, without ever stopping to see if someone had already implemented this on desktop. More fool me. This addon is from the author of XKit Rewritten. Note that the right-click tag filtering only works on the dashboard; it will not appear if you are on someone's blog. Right-clicking selected text to filter the phrase works everywhere based on my testing.

Absolute Enable Right Click & Copy

This addon does its best to re-enable the normal right-click context menu and copy/paste actions on pages that try to disable them. If you run into a site that messes with either of those, select this addon and check "Enable Copy," then try again. If that doesn't work, check "Absolute mode." It doesn't work everywhere, but I find it very helpful.

Sunday morning editorial.

I HATE feeling guilty, especially when I don’t believe I’ve done anything reprehensible.

Do I use AI to write my fanfic? Nope. Never have, never will.

Do I use AI to generate fanart? Nope. Never have, never will.

Am I qualified to judge if a specific image or text was partially made by AI? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Sometimes I manage to spot some very obvious signs, but considering that English is not my native language and that my drawing skills can’t compete with kindergarteners, I will never assume that someone’s art was made by AI. I have been accused once of posting AI generated texts on AO3, and though I know it was probably a bot, it still hurt like shit to be the target of such comments after spending hours editing a chapter. So if someone posts some fanart on Tumblr, I will not be the one to throw rocks at them for potentially using AI.

Do I support AI generated content? No. Am I going to go crazy with cancel culture over stuff I don’t have the skills to detect? No.

And if not doing so brings shame on the fandom, well sorry, there is this little button called « block user » you can use on me.

Also! What do you think is the rules around epenthetic vowels in mando'a? We have a bit different epenthetic vowels showing up between kom(o)r(o)k, kar(o)ta, but aay(e)han, dush(i)shya...

I think the basic rule of epenthetic sounds is to make words conform to Mando’a syllable structure and phonotactics. It seems to me that Mando’a more often elides sounds if e.g. joining two morphemes would result in a prohibited consonant cluster. That’s the more common strategy. Sometimes (more rarely) though there are extra sounds that (imo) are easiest to explain as epenthetic sounds—i.e. they’re there because of phonetics, not because they carry meaning.

Mando’a phonotactics

As far as I can tell, Mando’a has pretty easy phonotactics. The syllable structure is (C)(C)(C)V(C)(C) and the allowed consonant clusters are:

Onset:

Pr, where P = voiceless or voiced stop /p b t d k g/: pr, br, tr, dr, kr, gr

SPR, where S = /s/, P = voiceless stop /p t k/, R = /r l/: sp, st, sk, str, skr, sl, kl

That is, it’s the Indo-European SPR (sibilant + stop + /r l/) type, but the allowed set is a bit smaller than in e.g. English.

n.b.

I interpret ⟨ts⟩ as an affricate /t͜s/, i.e. it’s a phoneme not a cluster. That way I don’t have to explain why ks, ps, etc. aren’t allowed.

ty, cy, shy, ny, ky which I interpret as palatalisations tʲ, sʲ (=ʃ), ʃʲ (=ɕ), nʲ, kʲ

dh, mh, gh which I interpret as palatalisations /dʲ mʲ ɡʲ/, possibly realised as [dʰ mʰ ɡʰ] or [d m g].

Palatalisations are discussed previously here.

Coda:

st

rd, rʃ

ht, hn

I’m not really counting kom’rk and shebs, as they are anomalous in several ways. Shebs seems to be actually a loan from chebs; in-universe the extra -s could be explained as influence from Basic, so that sheb is the dictionary form and shebs is a dialectal/slang form. Kom’rk is given an unproblematic pronunciation

Clusters in the coda aren’t terribly common overall, and the ht, hn only appear in one word each (gaht + ka’gaht which appears to be a compound of gaht & ehn). Note that the coda clusters are kind of a reduced set of the mirror images of the onsets, which is expected.

Across the syllable border, most combinations are allowed as long as at least one of them is some kind of a continuant. Stop-stop combinations are uncommon.

There are few restrictions on single consonants, but

vh seems to appear only syllable-initially, same with the semivowels w and j; j seems to get realised as [i] in that position (I analyse y between two vowels [j] as the onset of the next syllable)

ng only appears syllable-finally

The planet Ceravh is a possible exception, which could be Mando’a or a (nativized) loanword, as we’ve discussed previously.

Diphthongs are ay (also spelled ai), ey, iy, uy, oy, and au. Other vowel-vowel combinations are allowed, but belong to different syllables. I’m very tempted to spell au as aw in this context, since Traviss notes that there’s an “almost v” sound in e.g. ba’vodu’e. So in the Vy type diphthongs, the y is [i] before consonants or word-finally and [j] before vowels, which is a very common behaviour. The corresponding behaviour would be for e.g. au to be [au] before consonants and word-finally and [aw] (or maybe [aʋ]) before vowels, which would also be a very common behaviour. So I’m tempted to interpret e.g. nau’ur as [na.ʋʊɾ] rather than [naʊ̯.ʔʊɾ]. But perhaps both realisations exist in different dialects.

Other interpretations are possible. This is what I consider overall the simplest and with least exceptions.

Edit: This was my draft on phonotactics I wrote a while back, seeing it again now I might make some edits.

Epenthetic sounds

So back to the question. The data is what it is, so I’m making egregious generalisations from way too little data as always. Like we’ve discussed previously, this is the nature of trying to infer rules from a corpus of ~1k words. In some cases there are two (or more) equally plausible explanations, so it can be hard to say whether a sound is epenthetic or some affix or maybe a part of a longer word that’s gotten whittled down to fit in a compound. With the data we have, it’s impossible to say whether it’s synchronic epenthesis or diachronic sound loss (and maybe an archaic pronunciation that still hangs around in some dialects); it could be either.

komorok and karota—I think these might be easier to explain the other way around, i.e. they have lost sounds. Imo that mrk cluster in kom’rk is really odd compared to the rest of Mando’a; rk I might excuse by comparing it with rd. But mrk? That bad boy needs at least one extra vowel. Karota > kar’ta is not the only word that (imo) seems to have shortened or lost a syllable in that position. It was probably an unstressed one. Nvm, Traviss gives the pronunciation as “kah-ROH-ta,” which is very weird: why drop the stressed syllable. Why. Kar’ta isn’t even problematic phonotactics wise. Or it could be an epenthesis.

dushishya—I don’t know why Traviss didn’t make this dushya; it’s right there. Mando’a elides identical sounds left and right and even chaaj+shya is chaa’shya. I’ve chosen to elide the final consonant in words ending in a sibilant before -shya instead, but if you want to keep both sh’s, then the epenthetic vowel is there so it’s possible to pronounce them as separate sounds instead of smushing them together.

aayihan—I like to think aay is the same *ay- as in e.g. uj’ayl. It might mean something like ‘sweet.’ I don’t know why it’s gotten a long vowel, but if I were to reconstruct a history for this word, I’d say aay’han used to be a longer compound or perhaps a phrase that’s gotten shortened over time. I think ‘han is a contracted form of haran; it wouldn’t be hard to imagine aay might’ve originally been a longer word too. But yeah, the extra vowel is there because you have that voiced /j/ and voiceless /h/, try to make them a cluster and it doesn’t really work. And there are two syllables because the aa is a long sound: seems to me the nucleus can be a short vowel, long vowel, or a diphthong—additional vowels belong to separate syllables. So aay’han would be aa-y-han. I guess it could be pronounced as aa-i-han as well, but if you want to realise that y as [j], then it needs a vowel because /j/ is not allowed as a coda.

The epenthetic vowel is in dushishya and aayihan likely because sh and y are palatal sounds. I doubt there are rules as such to what the epenthetic vowel should be, they’re probably entirely dependent on the surrounding phonemes—pick whatever is easiest to say depending on the other sounds in the word.

buurenaar—I found it easiest to reconstruct the verb ‘to storm’ as *buurenir, and then the noun buurenaar just has a swapped suffix. But it could also be *bur + nar or *burunar plus sound symbolism which turns the vowels long like wind.

ast’ehut—e could be the -ness prefix (ast-ehut) or an epenthetic vowel.

Coruscant > Coruscanta. Mando’a doesn’t do -nt codas, so this is an easy explanation: epenthetic vowel to keep the original sounds and make them conform to Mando’a phonotactics. You could argue that entye is ent-ye and has -nt coda; I however think it’s en-tye and the ty represents a palatalised consonant tʲ.

In the case of the -ii suffix, I think we could say it inserts an epenthetic vowel if the suffix appears after a vowel in the stem, and in both cases (aru’e > aruetii, kando > kandosii) that vowel is alveolar, probably because the high front vowel /i/ in the suffix so it’s easiest to insert some front-ish consonant as well. Which alveolar consonant? Probably just “feels”—whatever is easiest to say.

The variation in conjunctions and prefixes depending on the following word (e.g. a/al, sha/shal, ge/get, etc) is possibly a related phenomenon. But again, impossible to say because we don’t know where these words developed from.

These are what comes to mind, if there are more words that appear to have something extra, feel free to add them below and I can take a stab at them.

tl;dr: Epenthetic sounds are inserted to make pronunciation easier; what counts as “easier” is defined by the phonotactics of the particular language. Describing epenthesis as only “correcting phonotactics to what’s allowed” is probably bad or at least incomplete description of the process, so while e.g. kar’ta is not problematic, karota might still be an epenthesis.

This is also applicable to the loanword discussion, btw—loanwords can be subject to native phonotactic restrictions as well. I’ll get back to that later!

My First Foray into AI Filmmaking with Google Flow (and a Toastmasters Tip!)

I recently had the exciting opportunity to try out Google Flow, Google's new AI-powered video creation platform, to produce a short film for my Toastmasters club. It was a fascinating journey into the world of AI filmmaking, and I’d love to share what I learned—including a helpful Toastmasters tip along the way. First the finished product.

Step 1: Scripting with Gemini

The process began with Google Gemini, which I used to script the video. I asked it to create a short explainer based on this Toastmasters tip:

"Arrive early. Give yourself enough time to get acquainted with the stage or presentation area, and test the microphone and any visual aids you’ll be using."

I also requested scene suggestions to pair with the narration. Gemini responded with a solid, structured script that provided a strong foundation for the video production.

Step 2: Generating Scenes in Google Flow

Google Flow is an impressive tool. It allows you to generate video clips simply by describing them in text. One standout feature is the ability to expand scenes, helping maintain continuity of characters and objects across shots.

However, I discovered that uploading a custom character for consistency across scenes is a premium feature, priced at $129 per month. For this first experiment, that was more than I was willing to invest.

To work around the character continuity limitation, I used close-up shots and creative framing, which helped disguise the inconsistency. Flow’s Scenebuilder feature also came in handy—it lets you stitch together individual clips, fine-tune transitions, and build a cohesive narrative flow from multiple 8-second scenes.

Step 3: Post-Production with iOS Clips

Once I had generated and downloaded the clips, I moved to post-production on my iPhone using the iOS Clips app. Here’s how I pulled it together:

Initial Edits: I imported the video into Clips, trimmed out silent openings, and added a title slide.

Narration: I recorded the narration using the Voice Memos app, syncing it to match the 40-second video runtime.

Audio Integration: I shared the voice memo directly into Clips and embedded it as the project’s main audio track.

Background Music: Because Clips supports only one audio track per project, I exported the video with narration, then opened it in a new Clips project to add background music from the app’s free library.

Final Export: After adding the music, I saved the final version—ready to share with my Toastmasters club!

Takeaways from My First Project

Google Flow is a powerful platform with real promise for content creators. Its ability to turn text descriptions into visual scenes and its Scenebuilder interface make it an accessible tool for storytelling—even with the current limitations for free users.

While the premium character continuity feature is costly, clever scene composition can help mitigate that. Combining Flow’s visuals with mobile editing tools like Clips made for a surprisingly smooth workflow.

What’s Next? Features I’m Excited to Explore

My first project only scratched the surface. Here are some features I plan to explore in future videos:

Advanced Camera Controls: Flow allows precise manipulation of zoom, pan, angle, and movement—ideal for creating cinematic transitions and perspectives.

“Frames to Video” & “Ingredients to Video”: You can upload or generate reference images to influence your video’s style, composition, or continuity—especially useful without premium character tools.

Native Audio Generation (with Ultra Plan + Veo 3): Premium users can auto-generate dialogue, sound effects, and music directly in Flow, streamlining production.

Asset Management: Flow’s tools for organizing prompts, characters, and visual elements are helpful for recurring projects or series-style videos.

Scenebuilder “Jump To” Transitions: This allows for dynamic scene changes while maintaining visual context, perfect for narrative storytelling across multiple environments.

Flow TV: A showcase of user-generated videos, Flow TV includes example prompts—an inspiring way to learn new techniques and spark creative ideas.

I’m excited to keep experimenting and see how far I can push the creative boundaries with AI video tools. If you're a fellow Toastmaster—or just curious about AI filmmaking—I highly recommend giving Google Flow a try!

Presentation post.

I realized (better late than never😅), that I have never made a "presentation" post about me and my blog, I made a post about the rules to follow and yet I have not made a presentation, I am late😅.

Usually I would never have done it, I don't know why, but I don't have much creative imagination to make a post like this captivating, but I saw some nice ones and I got "inspired" and wanted to do one too, even if there's not much to say, actually.

So, you can call me Flora and I love writing (I don't write angst, nor smut, nor dirty stuff of any kind, sorry but I can't write them), watching anime and cartoons (even if some might consider me too old for that😅), playing video games, listen to music, creating characters for my stories and reading (I read a bit of everything, but especially fantasy and adventure). I've always been passionate about Native American culture so I inform myself as much as possible, given my poor skills in understanding the English language.

I'm not English, as I always write in the "warnings" of my fics, in fact I'm Italian, but here I use the English language (with the poor school knowledge), since it is literally the most used language here on Tumblr.

So…I don't think I need to specify, but this is my personal space so I only do/post/write etc. things that make me feel comfortable or what I want. It is strongly discouraged to try to make me change my mind about anything, I am not at all famous for listening to others and in my personal space I prefer my "independence" if you can call it that, rather than people/followers who are not okay with this. Constructive criticism and suggestions are welcome as long as they are presented clearly and politely, sterile whining on any topic is not.

Now, this is a topic surrounded by the whining mentioned before, but yes, I have nothing against the use of AI, so I can use it to create the images (and only the images, the writing process is all my work, not AI) related to my story and I will use it (the other images are taken either from Google images, or from Pinterest.), if you are okay with it perfect, otherwise it doesn't matter (Don't like? Don't be here, or don't read my fics, I'm not a people pleaser or a people chaser, to be further clear) because I will continue like this until an authority worthy of the name says that it is illegal to do so.

If you don't like something, you are not obligated to read or follow my blog, I want to make this clear.

In case you need it for some reason, the rules post is here, the post with more details about what I write can be found here (Part I and II), for your free consultation.

That said, here are my fandoms:

-Hunger Games (I haven't read The Ballad of the Nightingale and the Serpent yet)

-Harry Potter (Not the Cursed Child)

-Avatar (both the movie and the cartoon)

-Percy Jackson.

-LOTR (I hope I wrote it well😅) and The Hobbit.

-Amphibia.

-Hazbin Hotel (I'm slowly catching up on it and I'm not an active fan yet.)

-Some Disney cartoons (Koda Brother Bear, Mulan, Pocahontas, Treasure Planet, Simbad and the Curse of the 7 Seas.)

-Witch (I'm catching up on it.)

-Winx Club.

-TMNT (2012) + Bayverse (I saw it a while ago, As soon as I can I will rewatch it)

-Gladiator (currently only the second, but as soon as I can I'll catch up on the first.)

I think I've finished them, however I could add something since I'm catching up on some series that were recommended to me, so I reserve the right to modify this post by adding some fandoms that were added after its publication or, more likely, some fandoms that I forgot to include, which are always there😅.

My current stories (this part will definitely be edited in the future to update it.) are:

-Toruk Makto's Sister (Fandom: Avatar. Ship: Tsu'tey x Jake Sully's sister reader.)

-A fearsome down at Avalon (My original work.)

-The Sun Hide the Darkness (Fandom: Percy Jackson. Ship: Percy Jackson x Oc)

I have several in progress, both long fics and one-shots, in case you're interested✨.

Asks are open, but I reserve the right to write only what makes me feel comfortable, and… Nothing. If you like to follow my blog I'm happy, thanks for your attention✨.

"You look lost." Eddie whips around the blackened alley, but sees no one, nothing. Nothing but slick oil-stained asphalt and busted-up chipper vending machines. "I can help you." He turns again, hearing a flicker in the voice that sounds just like the buzz of the fluorescent kiosk behind him and—oh god dammit, it is the kiosk. "Buzz off!" He waves his hands at the pink advertisement, pulsing hearts and sales at him.

The digital face of a blonde blue-eyed baby girl crumples, her lips pouting and brows furrowing to imitate some emotion. Nervous. Scared. The BIG BLOWOUT lettering disappears around her head and the advertisement zooms out to show her crossing her arms on her electric cloud. "I-I just wanted to—!"

"I'm not buying whatever you're selling, soda girl. And I know your scam! You're not getting my ID Data by making me talk so you can use corporate tactics and native—" "You did that yourself Eddie Munson of the 429-70 sector—" "Hey!" He rushes as the kiosk and other parts of it light up from proximity. She twists into a bigger frame and leans over to pop images up between her fingers. "—and I'm not interested in selling you a GIBSON 340 Flyer series BLACK or the 76th edition of Dueling Dragon—" "Knock it off!" He bangs knuckles on her pixels, poofing his most recent engine searches into square dust. She laughs. It bubbles into audio pops from a speaker that had long been blown at. Stars rotate in her cartoon-like eyes. "I just want to help, you look like you haven't been to the pink district before."

Pink district. Eddie twists on his boots, eyes roaming over the tops of the building he's been wandering between, trying to see the neon grid of the city's artificial sky for traces of the color that denotes each zone. He thinks through the smog he can see it. Pink.

He returns to the kiosk, watching the rotating words start their default script above her head. INTIMATE MOMENTS. GET TO KNOW ME! 5KEY SENSATION! FLASH INPUT FOR CUSTOM FANTASIE— She's a Playtime Prostitute. "I don't—I'm n-not here for—your services are not required!" He claws fingers at her, feeling attacked from all sides by his new location ping and her chest when she giggles. "I do have a module for Knights and Maidens—!" "S-Stop! D-don't fucking read my order history, it's rude." "Sorry!" she says, but she's grinning, floating up to cross her legs on a heart that pulses beneath her. "Can't help my code." "Am I past 34th and Adven?" "By two blocks!" She flashes into a new pose, dipping past one frame to the protruding sign so she can point past where he came from. "You're closer to the VR Domes now." "Fuck." "Where are you looking to—" She turns up at him and from this angle, the scanner must be close enough, because her eyes barcode over when they snag his badge. "Ohhhhhh! A Repo-man!" Eddie slaps his hand over the metal bracket on his jacket but it's too late. "How can I help you officer?" she coos, wiggling her hips with stars in her eyes again. "Oh, don't. Cancel Authority Service program. I don't like working with ai's anyway, you all track my target's credit scores and sell them loans at interest." "I'm a sex doll," she deadpans, floating to a high frame where it crops to just those entrancing eyes, that little nose, and those gussed up lips/ Perfected down to the algorithm. For a busted-up kiosk, she looks... really good. And the lack of interaction in the back of an alley didn't seem to fry her function. At least not yet. "I can't track anything, I'm not allowed." "Not legally." Eddie swallows. "But all you things are just dirty little car dealers." She blinks. Smiles. Shy. Or maybe sly. The colors of the kiosk coordinate a hot red and flash her through different outfits. A translucent street set, those new dance bandages, and then something super old world—denim shorts and a bathing suit top with sneakers. She sits crossed-legged and starts playing with the ties on her shoulders. She's got him, the entire thing is working as intended, using all its collected data to sell him something customized. Something from his collected magazines and website cookies. And he's a fucking idiot because he knows it but doesn't stop her. "I just wanted to help you. You know I have to be wired to the grid for theft." She has a GPS tracker. He didn't even think of that. Can't think of anything when her top falls off but emojis censor her with animated DnD dice and guitars. The red drips away to pink. She starts laughing. Eddie grasps his face with both hands to hide. Is he really gonna get hard and jerk one out in front of an old commercial in the back of some alley? Really?

"Can you just tell me where the Syranx Warehouse is? Huh? Or is lying part of the scam here?" "What part are you collecting from the poor guy? Not his little rod?" she asks, biting her nail and winking. Eddie groans, and checks his work watch, tapping through the data to yank up his mark's collection ticket. A hologram of a V-model leg prosthesis rotates between them on his wrist. "His leg! How cruel! How will he walk?" Eddie shakes his head. "Look, what do you want from me? He shoulda paid his monthly." "How scary you are, Eddie Munson." She twists a finger in her hair. "Hope you don't... come for me one day." "I don't come for ai—oh." He cringes, realizing her sexual innuendo too late into her roar of giggles. "I can change that!" she declares and twists into a new frame—transformed into a cheerleader outfit. "STOP!" Eddie bangs on the fiberglass. She ripples pixels, falling over laughing, pleated skirt perfectly peeking underwear. "That's a low blow you pop-up witch!" "Encrypt your life then!" she teases. It's a good point, but an expensive one. "Just give me directions!" "Promise to come back!" Eddie inhales. It's not contractual. It's authentic programming. Nothing digital can hold you to anything unless biometrics are involved. No this is just her, using years of being turned on to collect and create her own machine learning for targeting and manipulating people. Or, rather—she's being cute. "S-s-sure." It's all he can manage. Because apparently now he's a company shill. She claps her hands and a scanner code pops up. "Maps for the scary Repo-man!" He flashes his watch over it and watches in horror as pink hearts burst and pop from his digital screen. "Don't infect me, okay? I trusted—" But he stops when a map appears and a cute little cartoon icon of her points at a dot with a simple flashing. YOU ARE HERE! He looks back up at her, where she's laid back down in her original posting with the BLOWOUT SALE next to—oh, that makes a lot more sense now. "T-thanks." He scratches his head, grateful but ashamed. She waves fingers at him coyly. "Listen uh—Uhm. What's your... make and...uh model? You know for... I'll do the survey or whatever—" "I'm Chrissy." She winks, flashing open the tag with her company and link. "Thanks, Chrissy." "Come back soon!" He very much will not be. He'd avoided the Pink District for this very fucking reason. Well, not this reason in particular but this can definitely be added to the top of the list. But he knows that the scan was already logged. That his eye implant recorded the whole interaction. That her link in his memory was fucking... clickable.

God dammit.

Alpha Briton (Earth-33)

Fandom: X-Men (comics) Series: More Captains Britain Characters: Elizabeth Braddock Credits: Alan Davis & others. — [ Reblogs > Likes | No AI involved ] —

Earth-33 native version of Betsy Braddock, also the Captain Britain of his reality.

Edited art related to the fanfic More Captains Britain (and their Warren), ch2.

———————————————————————————————

Since I can't post here on Tumblr the full formatted fics, I decided to share as a stand-alone the full-size version of edited pics I include in the fics galleries.

———————————————————————————————

Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Art) I merely changed colors (which isn't as quick and easy as it might sounds – it took me hours to properly have everything fixed). My intention was to turn the hair from Brian's blond to black, but how the hair in this specific art are drawn, is impossible (there are no highlights, so it would be just a block of black). To make it work I would need to hand-repaint them (which I wouldn't know where to start from, especially to fit the rest of the coloring). So I instead decided to color them purple and retroactively return to the fic to make the story work with the image. Crazy, isn't it?

Originally I wanted to use the art of James Braddock with the original Captain Britain costume as seen in Excalibur (2001) #3, and merely switch head with the one of the pic from the trade paperback (I needed the masked face). Changed my mind, but kept the color scheme.

Credits The original image is the art cover for Captain Britain: Legacy of a Legend trade paperback from 2016. Artists: Alan Davis (pencils), Mark Farmer (additional pencils and/or inks) and Robert Schwager (colors).

Meet Fujifilm's New X100VI Digital Camera

While some might argue that a majority of consumer-grade photography nowadays is now mostly achieved through the use of smartphones, it goes without saying that there's still a sizeable population of enthusiasts and professionals who'd still rather get their photography done via a dedicated camera. This has resulted in some rather impressive hardware from the biggest names in the industry, including Fujifilm. With that in mind, the company recently unveiled the launch of the Fujifilm X100VI digital camera, which boasts some pretty cool features. The camera is the latest addition in Fujifilm’s X Series line of digital cameras, and Fujifilm says that the new model offers exceptional image quality, in addition to its compact size and lightweight profile, as well as Fujifilm’s colour reproduction quality.  Camera Design and Features Fujifilm says that the top and bottom of the X100VI's body is built from aluminium which is pressed and machined for sharp edges, while the surface is finely blasted for a smooth texture in addition to the anodised aluminium on its surface. The camera also features an LCD monitor for media viewing and playback which can be stored in a fully flat position, and also comes with touch support. Additionally, the control buttons on the back have been moved to a position that is easy to operate with the right hand. As the sixth-generation model in the X100 Series, the X100VI comes with the new 40.2 megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor, as well as a high-speed X-Processor 5 image processing engine. The camera also includes a newly-developed in-body image stabilisation function, with up to 6.0 stops. Fujifilm says that this is the first time that this feature has been incorporated in an X100 Series product, without a considerable increase in size and weight. Going back to the camera's hardware, the 40-megapixel CMOS 5 HR sensor inside is designed to allow more light to be captured in comparison to its predecessors, as well as native ISO 125 support. The X100VI also comes with a total of 20 "Film Simulation" modes, including a new ‘REALA ACE’ mode with a wide range of different tones. The camera also incorporates an autofocus prediction algorithm for reliable focusing that works even on moving subjects, with subject detection autofocus to accurately track a range of subjects. Fujifilm says that its developed using deep-learning AI technology, allowing it to detect wildlife, vehicles, and more. Other Details The X100VI also includes an ‘Advanced Hybrid Viewfinder’ that lets users switch between the optical viewfinder (OVF) and the electronic viewfinder (EVF). The latter is equipped with a high-resolution OLED panel with around 3.69 million dots for a clear visual user experience. The camera comes with a built-in ‘Electronic Range Finder’ (ERF) function allows a small EVF to be simultaneously displayed on the OVF, which can allow photographers to capture a subject in the OVF and subsequently magnify the in-focus area in the smaller EVF, making it convenient for snapshots and such. For video recording, there's built-in support for 6.2K resolution 30P movie recording that also supports tracking AF function during recording. One of the X100VI's most handy features comes in the form of Frame.io Camera to Cloud support, allowing users to wirelessly connect to an active internet connection, authenticate to Frame.io, and automatically upload photos and videos online right after creation, speeding up a user's workflow process. Pricing and Availability The X100VI will be sold in Black and Silver models, and will be available in the UK from 28 February 2024 from authorised retailers and the Fujifilm House of Photography in London starting at £1,599 including VAT. There will also be a special edition of the camera to celebrate Fujifilm’s 90th anniversary year, which will be available starting on 6th April at £1,934. The limited-edition models are individually numbered and delivered in a special box with strap, soft release button and history cards. The camera body is engraved with the original Fujifilm corporate brand logo from 1934, along with the unique serial number. Read the full article

Vector Image File Formats

Unlock the magic of vector image file formats! 🎨 Dive into the world of precision and scalability with our latest Code Highlights session. 🚀 Discover the secrets behind crisp graphics and efficient storage. 🌐 Ready to elevate your coding game?

+91-81485-51615

Vector image file formats are graphics file formats that store images as mathematical equations or geometric shapes, rather than a grid of pixels like raster image formats. This allows vector images to be scaled to any size without losing quality. Here are some common vector image file formats:

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics): SVG is an XML-based vector image format that is widely used for web graphics. It is an open standard that can be easily edited with a text editor.

EPS (Encapsulated PostScript): EPS is a file format that can contain both vector and raster graphics. It is often used for print design and is compatible with various graphic design software.

AI (Adobe Illustrator): AI is the native file format of Adobe Illustrator, a popular vector graphics editor. AI files can store both vector and raster data and are primarily used for editing within Illustrator.

PDF (Portable Document Format): PDF is a versatile file format that can store both vector and raster graphics. It is widely used for documents and presentations and can be opened with various software applications.

CDR (CorelDRAW): CDR is the native file format of CorelDRAW, another vector graphics editor. It is used for saving designs and illustrations created in CorelDRAW.

DXF (Drawing Exchange Format): DXF is a file format developed by Autodesk and is commonly used for exchanging vector graphics between different CAD (Computer-Aided Design) applications.

WMF (Windows Metafile): WMF is a vector graphics format used by Microsoft Windows applications.
