Artificial intelligence or AI is being built into photo editing programs more and more. Additionally, this AI is getting smarter, faster, and more intelligent. While the software may never be able to read my mind to completely fulfill my vision it certainly speeds up the process.
New releases came out yesterday for Photoshop and Lightroom. With each new release of these programs in recent years, I am more and more impressed. Selections are faster and easier to make. The programs are doing a better job of recognizing faces, and now they can recognize facial features. Where this helps me is that often the software can help me make selections of people, objects, or backgrounds more quickly.
Lightroom AI made all these masks from an adaptive preset. I’m impressed. I know that Adobe isn’t the only photo editing software developer utilizing AI technology but their software is what I have used for years. While there may be some people who believe that it’s getting to “easy” to edit. I say, awesome. Let’s utilize technology and give everyone the opportunity to do this work.
