Nov 13, 2023 - "Using the Newer AI Tools in Photoshop" by Bob Benson
While Generative AI will be mentioned, this is a review of newer technology tools and plugins that make a photographer’s editing life easier. (Generative AI usually refers to the ability to add elements from other works to our photographs that we did not create, and like clip art or using other’s skies in our images, is not considered ethical for competitions.) There are means to fix images that used to be very time consuming, and are now almost one click away, but still basically are building from our images, not from other’s works. Some similar tools also will be shown in Lightroom (Camera Raw).
