So it’s pretty clear now it can fix images where you missed focus.īut that’s not all, what if you’re perfect and always shoot sharp images? In other words, keep your silky smooth bokeh but fix your foreground….Īnd what about an image where the focus is just slightly off, let’s be honest this happens a lot.Īs you can clearly see it’s a HUGE improvement, and you can also see a boost in the 3d look, something I’m always looking for in images.

It’s also incredibly handy that the software gives you the option only to affect the subject and not the background. The image really jumps out and is sharp enough to publish.

I am using the sharpness here on full blast to see the effect of ringing (artifacts) and to be totally honest…. It’s a screenshot straight out of Topaz Photo AI I took this shot during a visit to the Orchideeënhoeve (the largest tropical attraction in Europe). Let’s start very simply with something that happens to all of us.
All the images that would normally be unsuitable for release are now…. but sometimes you just don’t have that option. I can talk for hours about the importance of proper focus, controlling noise on location, etc. But when I started testing Topaz Photo AI my jaw literally dropped to the floor, and for the first time, I was literally wondering how the heck did they do this…. It’s hard to really describe, but a lot of plugins work great on razor-sharp images, or images where there is a little bit of noise. They always deliver awesome plug-ins or standalone solutions that really add something to my workflow. Well, I would have said, “absolutely” a few weeks ago, but not anymore. Now I can’t even remember how many images I threw out that were just not “usable” at that time… But what if I told you that those cherished memories from our loved ones can be saved? That those concert images can be stunning and noiseless? And that time you missed focus is not a real problem anymore… would you label me crazy? or tell me “yeah, well we can sharpen it a bit, and use some filters, but it’s not sharp so it can never be as good as shot right at the moment we took it” So sometimes images are a little bit soft or have some tremendous noise because there wasn’t enough light to capture a razor-sharp clean image. Photography for me is freezing unique moments in time that will never come back again.īut Photography sometimes also means we have to capture those moments in situations that are far from perfect. Today I can tell you I had the same sort of experience, and probably even more important. Yes, the first time I saw Content Aware Fill I had that kind of moment, and that was way way before it was officially released and became much better. But nothing where I really had to pick my jaw up from the ground.
And in all honestly most of the time it does do it work pretty well. Well, a lot of software nowadays uses the term AI. We have to find ways to incorporate AI into our workflows without losing the “soul” we all put into our work. I truly believe we are on the verge of some major breakthroughs. But do we really want to see the same kind of reviews without any personal input from a real human being? I don’t think so, but again it can help a lot with research and I’m excited to see how AI can be used for medical and scientific applications. The chatbots are also getting incredibly good and will probably be a real problem for education, but can help with writing articles and/or doing research. In a group of its own yes! But Instagram is almost overflown with awesome-looking fashion shots where I literally thought “What a great photographer” until I scroll down more and see that the rest of his/her work is often below average/ It’s something I struggle to recognize as art, but maybe that’s just me. Of course, it looks insanely good, but it’s not “real” like where you create a set, light the set, coach the model, and take the image. But I also have to add I don’t see this as “art”. Like probably most of you I am totally stunned by the quality of photorealistic images you can get from several AI image generators. Personally, I’m all for innovation but also have problems with some applications. Where a few years ago the term AI (Artificial Intelligence) was just something that you talked about in connection to some robot vacuums that were actually pretty dumb today the story is completely different and in all fairness, it’s an exciting but also frightening time.
It seems the world is going really fast nowadays.
