Canva Ai Word creation is impressive

In case you haven't seen how good Canva Ai is with creating words, go have a try if you're using the pro-version. If you don't have pro-version, then this is a good reason to upgrade. The precision and detail are good. In comparison with MJ, well, there's no comparison. I'm aware MJ is releasing V8, and it has text and hand improvements, but Cava is out in front imho. Well done Canva. This was made with a simple prompt: 'Cooked' in medieval font. You can also ask it to create words with different fonts in the same prompt, and it does so with impressive results.

Was that done directly in Canva (not really relevant here, imo) or in Affinity? If in Affinity, which Tool did you use?

I created the word directly in Canva without any Style selected. Sorry - I thought we could talk about Canva things too as it's connected to Affinity now.

Quote from marce

Are the results editable at vector level, or you can only re-prompt?

I didn't try using the vector style in Canva, but I can't see why not, although I don't think it's guaranteed to be a true vector file when exporting/downloading using Canvas' svg option, but could be taken into Affinity for that purpose if you wanted to. I needed some text for a journal cover and haven't explored further with Affinity. Someone already let me know Canva thing's aren't really useful here. Sorry everyone.

Echoing marce , I'm interested to know if the output image is vector or raster.

Created in Canva without using any Style, but you could use the Vector option to create, and export out of Canva as a vector, but I don't know if it would be a true SVG. I still use Adobe Illus for vectors at this point in time because of its colour capability with watercolour paintings.

FWIW, has anybody with a Canva Pro subscription tried making a word like this directly in Affinity's Canva AI Studio using a prompt like "The word 'Cooked' in a medieval font"?

If so, were the results OK?

I haven't but will. I prefer using the Ai model in Canva over Affinity as it's easy to upscale and edit using Canva's magic edit tools. Especially magic layers.

Here is the result of that prompt in the March 26 Affinity:

The content cannot be displayed because you do not have authorisation to view this content.

The enhanced prompt it generated was

The resulting layers are all Curves, not editable letters. So I tried again with the prompt "Flat vector graphic of the word 'Cooked' rendered in a bold, ornate medieval-style font, with clean lines and a simple, minimalist vector aesthetic. The result should have true vector letters that are editable by the user."

That gave me:

and the enhanced prompt was:

The result is still all curves, not editable letters.

I then tried: "Flat vector graphic of the word 'Cooked' rendered using the font Algerian. The result should have true vector letters that are editable by the user." That gave me:

The content cannot be displayed because you do not have authorisation to view this content.

which is not in the Algerian font, and still has Curves not actual text.

Its enhanced prompt was:

I think the Canva Ai creates an editable image rather than editable character font. I guess you could separate each letter using the magic layers tool. Maybe Canva will get that ability over time as they rollout updates. Creative Fabrica had an Ai Font creator, but they are shelving it. Side note: maybe Canva needs to change magic tool names to reach a wider audience. I like Canva as it streamlines my processes in a focused way -. i.e. background removal is smoother in Canva where Affinity creates jagged edges. Minor, but saves me a lot of time.
