The greatest tool in the world of photography

My opinion on the greatest tool in photography is bound to cause a stir among my fellow photographers. Don’t be fooled by fancy cameras, film or digital mediums, lens coatings, or filters. The truth is, it’s not the physical gear that matters. For me, it comes down to two things, which have worked together.

In my opinion, the addition of artificial intelligence has made Photoshop an even greater tool for photography. Despite potential skepticism, I believe this to be true and will explain why below.

Photograph editing, processing, and manipulation have been possible for a long time, except that it required a darkroom and hours of meticulous work before the advent of Photoshop. Before Photoshop, there were no second chances; it was starting over from scratch. Even with the introduction of Photoshop, the process was often tedious, in the beginning. However; with time, the technology has improved to make the process much simpler and more efficient.

With artificial intelligence, selecting, removing distractions, and fine-tuning images is now easier and more efficient. This allows us less time in the “darkroom” and more time to take our photographs and pursue our creative endeavors.
