Apple’s Image Playground lets you create high-quality images in virtually any style, including photorealistic ones, and bring that capability directly into your app with the Image Playground framework.
A few key points from the session:
- It supports text descriptions, people from the user’s Photos library, and custom concepts like drawings.
- You can choose from styles such as illustration, sketch, animation, emoji, and also use external providers if available.
- It supports multiple sizes and aspect ratios, like landscape, portrait, and square.
- The experience is built in with a simple sheet / view controller API, so you don’t need to manage models, servers, or API keys yourself.
- It uses Private Cloud Compute for generation, with privacy protections built in.
- If image generation isn’t available, you can check the supportsImageGeneration environment value and provide a fallback.
If you want, I can also summarize the “Adopt Image Playground” part specifically.
