Prime example: yesterday's shoot, one of my lights was disconnected. I didn't catch it until I was 12 shots in, being on a posing roll. AI cleaned up my lighting defect with all but 5 clicks at best, saving the images. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Jan 31 26 02:22 pm Link I've found it interesting to see what basic AI tools are good at and what they are not good at.
And yes, a skilled user with the right kind of images does make for better results. but for me, I've found that AI really isn't that helpful correcting complicated or less than perfect images. It will usually "fix" what I ask it to, but screw up something else in the image. Granted, I am not well versed in AI usage, and I'm just trying out consumer grade tools. But, the basic AI tools I'm seeing available just aren't that great. Good enough for the screen, not good enough to print from. Feb 02 26 06:48 am Link The sky isn't falling. Plenty of retail stores are thriving despite being told otherwise right before the dot com boom. The internet didn't kill traditional retail, it changed it. AI isn't killing photography, it's changing it. Feb 08 26 09:06 pm Link Glad to see some people are still interested in it. Being someone who hasn't been posting anything new online in years due to image-theft, I'm not ready to start using AI and posting that as my own work, and then watching as someone else swipes it as the basis for their own AI manipulation of it. No Thanks!
I spent too many decades learning my craft in both commercial and personal darkrooms, plus another three decades working with digital editing of my photography. I feel like a lot of subtlety, personal creativity, and beauty would be lost in such a process, and I still want to retain more control and creative opportunity than i think that would offer me.

It took a while to really catch on with businesses and individuals. And over time, lots of great results but also some bad. If newer technologies are introduced and implemented at a faster rate, will that be good or bad. Time will tell.
Feb 25 26 09:06 am Link According to Google Ai, the Web opened to the public in 1991 and began to enter general use in 1993–4, when websites for everyday use started to become available.
My first experience with using a digital camera was the Sony Digital Mavica, released in 1997, it was the first true digital camera in the Mavica series, utilizing a 3.5-inch floppy disk for storage. Feb 28 26 09:30 pm Link I've posted this in my social a couple of weeks ago:
Lately many people say that AI is making handmade art less valuable. But I think the opposite is happening. AI can generate images that look like paintings or complex animation. But it cannot recreate the real process behind them. For example, in some art films the artists literally painted on walls, took a photo, then painted over everything and shot the next frame. The room was slowly destroyed and transformed into animation. It was film, painting and performance at the same time. AI can create something “in that style”, but it cannot recreate the story of how it was made. And very often the value of art is exactly in that. History actually shows an interesting pattern. When photography appeared, people said painting would die. But painting became even more valuable. When digital art appeared, oil painting didn’t disappear. When streaming platforms appeared, vinyl records came back. The more mass production we have, the more people value things that are unique and made by humans. AI will probably replace the “middle layer”: routine images, stock graphics, simple illustrations. But it will make original ideas, unique techniques and strong artistic vision even more important. Because AI can generate images. But artists still make the decisions. Mar 30 26 03:43 pm Link Hey everyone, I'm not a photographer, just an artist and retoucher exploring and experimenting with new AI tools.
In the next few years, AI will probably be doing photo shoots and retouching. AI will replace 80-90% of human work, and in most cases, human retouchers will become unnecessary. This is just the beginning, and AI never sleeps. Upload a couple of photos from your phone, and AI will give you a perfect result, indistinguishable from a real photo, with complete character consistency, high resolution, and artistic flair, all in a matter of seconds 
And I'll have to sweep the streets and collect bottles 
Or am I just paranoid?
I recently created a project called "Imaginary Girl." If you're interested, you can check it out on Behance: https://www.behance.net/gallery/2488757 … inary-girl May 13 26 09:35 am Link |
