Amazingly good photo editing: Artificial intelligence is about to take all the jobs of “Photoshop workers”?

We all know about Photoshop, but not everyone is proficient in this complex photo editing software. However, the problem is about to be eliminated thanks to artificial intelligence (AI). Now even a person with no knowledge of Photoshop can edit and create photos easily within seconds.

Opening the image in the new AI version of Adobe Photoshop, the Washington Post’s pen selected the area around the character’s head and entered “add a clown wig” to the proposed text. Very quickly, curls with colors like the rainbow sprouted up, blending in perfectly with the surrounding context.

AI is bringing Photoshop into a new era where you can alter images in complex and sometimes scary ways without mastering the software.

Photoshop’s new feature is called “inpainting”. Just select what you want to replace and enter the request in the text box, the software will do it completely automatically.

Photoshop’s AI image formats do well

Photoshop’s Generative Fill feature is also extremely effective at removing objects from the background, such as the radio tower in the sunset below, or getting more creative by using a robot instead. giant.

AI can create clouds, trees, or even entire cityscapes to blend into the original image. It can even remove people from images very quickly even on complex backgrounds.

This saves users a lot of time learning how to master Photoshop as well as performing necessary operations such as cutting objects, knowing how to use layers, finding source images to add, and adjusting lighting and color.

You might feel like it’s pointless to include a giant robot in your photo. But for artists or even amateur photographers, this can be seen as a creative kick-start allowing them to try out many unexpected ideas.

The most impressive thing is that the AI ​​can make sure your image matches the angle of the sun, the shadows even the reflection in the water. It even gives you three variations to choose from, or you can keep tweaking your requirements until you get the shot you like.

Another very interesting use is for the AI ​​to expand the frame of an image by generating the rest itself. On social media, people are excited to apply this technique to artwork, album covers, and photos. This is how the AI ​​expanded Vincent van Gogh’s famous “Bedroom” painting.

Photoshop’s AI image formats do poorly

Of course Photoshop’s AI isn’t perfect. Photoshop’s AI isn’t very good at creating certain types of objects, making them look silly, half-baked, or artificial.

“There are some subjects that I think AI will do better than others,” says Maria Yap, vice president of digital imaging at Adobe. When it comes to asking for something a little more surreal, a little crazier, it still doesn’t quite do it.”

Adobe also says its AI model is “not designed to make things obsessive”. However, through many tests, AI tends to create creepy things.

This is an example of an original image where the AI ​​was asked to add an alien spaceship. But instead, the AI ​​creates a flying monster.

The area you select in the original image also makes a big difference. Adobe’s artificial intelligence is designed to respond to the shape of the selection, and everything in it is completely replaced.

That means if you want to add a hat to someone, you just need to select the area where the hat is, otherwise we will have the photo completely replaced.

In terms of creating human images, Photoshop’s AI doesn’t do well either. This is an image that asks the AI ​​to add an additional member to the photo. The new member’s face is not normal.

Technology can bring out the best and the worst in people. Currently, crooks are using sophisticated AI imaging tools to create photos to deceive users.

In this photo of a hiking trip in arid fields, when entering “add forest fire” in the request box, Photoshop’s AI turned it into a very realistic fire photo.

Adobe said it will build some limits for its AI products, including a feature that notifies that photos have been altered by AI, as well as prevents users from creating content for malicious purposes.
