Using Lexica in order to create images with DALL-E2

 Lexica is a website where you can do two things:

• Generate images with Stable Diffusion
• Search for images and get the prompts which created them. 

On Lexica, you have to pay in order to be able to create a certain number of images (Mind you, Nightcafe is free, but you have to do something in order to get credits for your creations - log in daily, vote in challenges, put your images on instagram and twitter). The  most important difference for me, however, is that you can upscale your images in Nightcafe,- paying with credits, and you cannot in Lexica. So I will not use Lexica for creating images.

However: Browsing through the images in Lexica gives you hundreds of prompts. In many cases the prompt and the generated image differ. I tried out some prompts in DALL-E2 on Nightcafe - and the result was more similar to the prompt than the image on Lexica itself. 

Here's an example:

I copied the prompt from Lexica and changed it a bit. It now reads:

Photo of a golden statue of a lion with huge wings

The original prompt included "a collar", which I did not want in the image.
