Three versions of photo of Rockin' Dopsie Jr, one processed using generative AI
I’m uploading a spread of photos showing versions of a previously uploaded photo for anyone interested in Photoshop’s new generative AI feature.
Photoshop’s new generative AI feature, available in a Beta Version, uses cloud-based artificial intelligence to transform photos. It can add just about anything produced from Adobe stock images, but, for me, it promises to simplify and speed up processing removal of distracting elements.
This spread of photos includes, at left, the original version of a photo of Rockin’ Dopsie Jr. doing a split during his performance at Festival International de Lafayette April 29, 2023. The middle photo is my attempt that took about 20 minutes to use various Photoshop tools to remove the mike stand covering his face. At right is a reprocessed version of the photo using generative AI. You’ll notice that, in addition to removing the mike stand, it also changed the positioning of Rockin’ Dopsie’s hand. To get this result, I selected sections of the pole and processed each separately with generative AI. (I first attempted to select the entire pole, but generative AI went way overboard and replaced Rockin’ Dopsie’s head with that of a different musician—generative AI always gives you a choice of three versions, but, in this attempt, all of them were weird.)
I’m not going to use this new feature to alter the reality of what I’m photographing. I’m not sure that I would even use the final processed version in which Dopsie’s hand is repositioned.
