See how NVIDIA Studio lets you leverage AI to enhance your creative workflow

Digital artwork may flow from the creator’s hands, but ultimately it’s coming down to hardware and software to bring the creator’s imagination to life. With the NVIDIA Studio platform, the creative tools available just got a considerable upgrade.

NVIDIA has built a powerful toolkit that offers everything from hardware acceleration and workflow integrations to AI-powered capabilities for a wide variety of applications.

Whether you work in photography, video, or 3D art, NVIDIA Studio provides technologies you can immediately put to use in your workflow on NVIDIA-powered hardware.

Videographers can enjoy a host of AI-enabled capabilities in DaVinci Resolve, like the ability to generate extra frames to create fluid slow-mo footage. AI can provide touch ups on actors automatically, saving you the pain of doing it manually, frame-by-frame. AI can also fill in space between pixels intelligently to increase the resolution of your video.

You can even have AI remove objects from your shots. Adobe Premiere Pro users can quickly create clips for social media with AI automatically reframing the video to meet the aspect ratios used on various social media sites.

Photographic work can get a huge bump with Super Resolution to upscale images with AI in Adobe Lightroom Classic, figuring out how to fill in the space between pixels with hardware acceleration speeding up the process.

The AI of NVIDIA Studio can also make intelligent selections and adjustments in a snap, letting you quickly select the sky or subject in Adobe Photoshop to create complex masks or apply Neural Filters to a subject's face, changing anything from their apparent age and mood to the direction they’re facing.

NVIDIA also provides its own apps for creation. NVIDIA Canvas is a powerful tool for quickly creating scenery, letting you draw a simple scene and have AI render a realistic environment to your specifications.

NVIDIA Broadcast offers real-time features for enhancing webcams with AI-powered background blur or replacement, auto-framing, ambient noise removal, and camera noise reduction.

Meanwhile, NVIDIA Omniverse provides a way to pull together your workflow and the work of collaborators from a variety of 3D applications all into one spot.

Because seeing is believing, NVIDIA has begun the In the NVIDIA Studio blog , a special showcase of the talent of creators and artists like you. Each entry in In the NVIDIA Studio will highlight a new artist using NVIDIA’s platform, putting their artwork and process on display.

This week’s artist is San Francisco-based creator Karen X. Cheng , who takes full advantage of the power of NVIDIA Canvas and performance of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 graphics processor to create landscapes.

While exploring the city or her social media feed, Cheng can find inspiration and quickly turn that into digital creations with the portable power of Canvas running an NVIDIA Studio laptop. Despite feeling like she didn’t have drawing skills, Cheng’s used of the tool lets her feel like she has “art superpowers,” with the ability to quickly sketch out an idea and end up with a lifelike landscape. To show how quickly NVIDIA Canvas can help her turn concepts into creations, she’ll be racing fellow artist Don Allen Stevenson III to paint viewers’ suggestions in an Instagram livestream on May 12.

Is this the biggest Wordle answer miss of all time?

Before we go any further, what follows are massive spoilers for today's Wordle answer . Do not read if you've not completed puzzle #265 from March 10.

Dear reader, today is a bad day in my career as a word puzzler. Not because I couldn't figure out the Wordle combinations that I needed to. Not because I simply ran out of options to try.

No, it's just a huge, frustrating mess that I think (well, I hope , in order to make myself feel better) will catch out a lot of people. In fact, I was so frustrated that I've even started live-blogging the internet's reaction , to make myself feel better).

But let me tell you a story, all about how, I failed at Wordle and my life got flipped, turned upside down (it'll only take a minute, just sit right there*).

A sorry beginning

I was hard at work, feeding a rabbit and eating a piece of toast before bed. Big stuff, I know you'll agree.

Then I realized that it had passed midnight, and there was a new Wordle to try. Excitedly, and possibly the reason I chose this first word, I went for DANCE. No, it's not one of the top Wordle starting words . Whatever, I'm a renegade.

Far from a total disaster, and some excellent clues in there. The chances are this word ends in a CH, one of the most popular letter combinations.

So that means it's likely not a vowel in middle, as AO and AE aren't that well-used, and AU and AI don't have any obvious starting consonants.

So it's _A_CH. I run through the middle letters. T! That has to be it!

Oh man, not done it in two. No worries, can't be that many answers left that it could be, right? And so many letters answered... nobody could fail from here, right?

Right?

OK, that's pretty unlucky, think we can all agree here. But I know how to Wordle ... yes, I'm mostly a 'done in four' kind of guy, but I've got a good vocabulary and I'm getting better with practice. I rush on as usual, knowing that the next word has to be right by the process of elimination:

What is happening. I've only got two attempts left, surely I can't fail again?

Yes, yes I can fail again. It's not CATCH, and I'm not only down to my last guess, but I'm now considering every life decision I've ever made. Come on Gareth, think. Is there anything left?

YES, LATCH! The streak is saved, surely!

Hang on a minute. What about HATCH? That could be it, right?

I go through every other letter on the keyboard. Apart from NATCH, which I don't think is an actual word, these are the only two choices left to me.

Do I stick with my gut? Is L a more popular letter than H? I stand and pace. There's no way to know, right? I could go back over all the previous Wordle answers, but there's no rhyme nor reason to the choices.

I should stick with what I first though. I'm sure I won't break the streak. I'm sure.

I. Am. Sure.

This is terrible news. As the first letter flashes gray, I know it's all over. The game is lost. It was HATCH.

Or, maybe I was wrong. Maybe NATCH is so well-used that it's now in the dictionary.

With trembling gaze, I cast my eyes upwards to see the word.

There it sits. Glowing at me, laughing at me, mocking my very existence.

' Hey stupid, did you forget that it's not always going to be a hard A sound? Remember I sound like WOTCH, not WATCH.

'Haha, you failed. WATCH OUT NEXT TIME.'

I slump back in my chair, ever-so-slightly breaking it. I've lost. The streak is gone. And it's because I can't pronounce WATCH correctly in my head.

* If you're not old enough to remember the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air with Will Smith, apologies for that confusing opener.

Hang on... is this the OnePlus 10, or is it a brand-new OnePlus phone?

Something curious has happened, as hot on the heels of the OnePlus 10 Pro ’s global launch, a photo of an unknown OnePlus phone has leaked, with many commentators suggesting this is the standard OnePlus 10 .

The image first leaked on Weibo (a Chinese social network) and the source suggested that it might be the OnePlus 10 – a suggestion that other outlets ran with. But is it? We’re not so sure.

For a start, the phone – which you can see below – looks nothing like the OnePlus 10 Pro. Shown just from the back in black and white shades, it has a very different camera block, housing different-looking lenses.

Of course, the OnePlus 10 wouldn’t necessarily look identical to the OnePlus 10 Pro, but the OnePlus 9 looked a lot like the OnePlus 9 Pro . One of the lenses here also actually looks like it might be even bigger than the ones on the OnePlus 10 Pro – which isn’t something we’d expect from a lesser phone in the range.

But an even bigger reason to think that this isn’t the OnePlus 10 is that OnePlus itself has said there won’t be a OnePlus 10. In an MWC 2022 media briefing attended by TechRadar, OnePlus founder Pete Lau said that there would only be one model in the OnePlus 10 range – namely the OnePlus 10 Pro.

There’s an outside chance that he misspoke, or perhaps meant that only one OnePlus 10 model would arrive in the west, with China getting others, but that seems unlikely.

On top of all that, if there was a OnePlus 10, we’d have expected to have seen more of it by now – in leaks at the very least, but probably even an announcement. Indeed, the global launch of the OnePlus 10 Pro would have been the ideal venue to unveil it, but it wasn’t in attendance. So no, this probably isn’t the OnePlus 10.

Analysis: what is this mystery OnePlus phone?

So if not the OnePlus 10, what phone are we looking at here? First, it’s always worth taking leaks with a pinch of salt, so while the picture looks like a real phone, it’s possible that it’s been faked, or perhaps it’s a prototype that will never see the light of day.

But there’s a good chance we will see this, just probably not under the OnePlus 10 name – and not under the OnePlus 10 Ultra name either, since that also presumably doesn’t exist given Lau’s words.

This could then be a new entry in one of the brand’s other ranges, such as the Nord range, but given the size of one of those cameras it looks a bit high-end for that.

So perhaps this is the start of a whole new range. In the same meeting as its confirmation that there won’t be a OnePlus 10, OnePlus did also say that in 2022 it "will continue to release more products across a wider range of prices." So one or more new ranges isn’t out of the question.

Whatever phone this is, it could make use of the 150W charging the brand has confirmed is coming to a handset soon – which is something else we’d expect to see on a reasonably high-end model.
