Another AI Photo Enhancement

Well, I think it is an enhancement; we'll have to see what you think.

I came across this photo of Bob from September 2020. We met safely in the park in that blasted COVIDish year.


I've always liked the photo because Bob is a good subject, and I am pretty sure that I posted it here all those years ago.

At some point, I also did a mono version. I don't know if it was at the same time or some time later.


When I came across the original photo again recently, I decided to experiment with AI. Usually, I have restricted my experiments in AI to adding small elements. This time I was more ambitious and decided to see if I could replace the whole background. I asked Photoshop to make a park with trees. This is what it did.


I'd say that is not a bad result, and it was fun to do.

  5. AI is starting to terrify me but does have its uses. Did you mean 2000 or 2020?

  6. That does look a lot better. Although I do agree with Margaret. AI is scary. How will we ever know what's real?

  11. No soy muy partidario de la IA pero, hay que reconocer que funciona bien si se utiliza bien y sin demasiados "cambios"
    El resultado es maravilloso ya que permite ver a Bob con menos distracción ya que los elementos que le enmarcan son menos variados y llamativos. Abrazo

  13. While I know that many other bloggers are enjoying the Ai experience, I am not going that route because it just doesn't appeal to me. I prefer to edit a photo by cropping or changing exposure and SOOC is still wonderful when everything is just right.

  14. Now did you put Bob's glasses on and angle or is that how he wears them?

  15. AI, for me, is just interesting, occasional play. It is not what I live for.

  16. AI appears to be interesting for many bloggers, but not something for myself. That said, the final photo of Bob is better than the one with the distracting background.
