Watercolor option missing in AI Image style

Recently I started projects in both Rise and Storyline and used Generate AI image to both create new images and alter uploaded images. Both were successful and did exactly what I wanted. Today when I want to continue, the Watercolor style option is missing.

When I go to one of the created images I like, the text for the prompt has disappeared. I'm only give the option to create a new image, or alter the image with a fresh prompt.

I know I should have copied the prompt for the watercolor style, but I didn't. Does anyone have the old prompt saved so I can put it in the "custom" style box. I'd like to contine with the consistent look and feel of the watercolor images. Thanks!

  • Hi LindaKiecker​,

    Happy to share some insight on this.

    Following our recent Articulate 360 update, Watercolor is no longer a built-in option for AI Image generation in Rise and Storyline. We periodically update the available styles to reflect the options customers use most and the capabilities of our AI image models.

    However, you can still create watercolor-style images with the Custom style option. Try using the following prompt to help maintain a consistent look while authoring:

    Watercolor painting technique, loose brushstrokes, earth tones, fluid color blending, soft edges, transparent washes, atmospheric perspective, wet-on-wet effects, gestural details, light and shadow play, organic textures, color bleeding, spontaneous splatters, luminous quality, dynamic composition, impressionistic approach, suggestive forms, controlled color runs, layered pigments, expressive line work.

    Because AI-generated images can vary, even with the same prompt, we recommend saving this text and reusing it for each image you create.

    Let me know how it goes!

      Can you brief the development team on this? It is very off-putting for an instructional designer to be told, as you just did: "Don't count on being able to republish the course if you have to make changes."

      I know you didn't mean to say that, but if AI images and AI voices can't be reproduced ...

      So: do not follow the current "cloud computing" trend and constantly change things for the sake of change. Every single voice or question type or whatever that you remove breaks someone's project. That's something to avoid.
