LACE: Controlled Image Prompting and Iterative Refinement with GenAI for Professional Visual Art Creators
We present LACE, a hybrid Human-AI co-creative system integrated into Adobe Photoshop supporting turn-taking and parallel interaction modes for iterative image generation. Through a study with 21 participants across representational, abstract, and design tasks, we found turn-taking preferred in early stages for idea generation, and parallel modes suited for detailed refinement. While this shorter workshop paper provides key insights and highlights, the comprehensive findings and detailed analysis are presented in a longer version available separately on arXiv.
