Day of the niche tool

There’s a new Claude model, which means it’s time to build something new with Fable 5.2 to see how it performs.

I’ve been obsessed with ornamental breaks since the early days of AI image gen. I have folders with 10’s of thousands of ornamental breaks in different styles. I have so many, I need a tool to help me pick and quickly edit the image files.

One prompt later I have a fully functional tool that runs in my browser.

In this example I’ve made the original design darker, set a center span of 157 pixels, and chosen to mirror the left side.

I won’t belabor the details but it does quite a bit for a single-shot application.

• Load and display images from a folder
• Select or reject images that get saved to a subfolder
• Quickly edit images before saving the output
• Adjust the image colors
• Recenter the image
• Mirror one side for perfect symmetry

I guess I did belabor a bit. Everything I choose or edit gets saved to a subfolder, ready for me to process the files. And there are a few more options Fable added that I still haven’t tried.

Who needs to reverse engineer Photoshop when you can just build the perfect tool for the exact job you’re doing that day?
