I really wanted to pick an image for this month that would be easier to do 4 ways. I spent the afternoon playing around with one to see how many different things I could do to it. In end I realised I could do many more than 4, so this was the image for us this month.
I took this image when I was in Tasmania back in May this year. We went to this tiny town called Zeehan that has a lot of really amazing buildings. Not at all what we expected to find there.
We had problems with taking photos when we got there, the first being there were lots of people, which meant lots of cars. I have to admit I never thought I would be able to use these images with the cars. The other problem was that it was late in the day and the building had the sun behind it.
Let me show you.
You can see what I mean here.
I had to make some decisions. One of the biggest was how to remove the cars. The obvious answer was to use Generative Fill AI, so I did.
I think you can see that the cars are gone now. Obviously AI doesn’t know what is there behind the buildings, but I think it did an okay job.
I straightened the building up. The odd angles from using a wide-angle lens can be annoying sometimes. I have learned over the years how to straighten them up.
I really didn’t do that much more to it. There was a sun spot that I removed with AI as well, but other than that it was just the general changes I always make at the start of an image.
As I did last month I am putting the images in a gallery so you can see the changes.
I think last month I was the only one who did this, so I am not going to worry about giving information about how to do the challenge. If you want to know, please ask.
Interesting little project! My problem is…..if I did this once a week, I would forget what picture I am actually working with; haha! . Must organise my photos. Never find the one I am looking for! Must look into more editing things, and this helps! Thanks.
I think so Geoff. Well that would be a challenge, lol. I have to say organising your phtoos is a good thing to do, some sort of system. Glad it helps Geoff, thank you.
Interesting. What WILL you do next?
Thank you Margaret, I don’t know I guess we will have to wait and see.
I’m excited to see what comes next! It’s fun to watch your thought process!
Taht is an interesting way to look at it, some might be predictable, but hopefully I can show some other stuff too. Thank you.
interesting process
It is, thank you Beth.
It’s simply amazing what AI can do in the hands of those adept enough to use it. I’m oblivious though.
I know what you mean Sally, it is pretty amazing. It is actually a lot easier to use than you might think Sally. Thank you.
What a beautiful building. You did great at taking out the cars. I have to learn more about Generative AI. I think LR has it now also.
I thought so too Anne, bit of stunner. I knew I would have to remove the cars, and glad it is easier to do it now. I just took a look and it looks like you can do some in LR, not sure how good it is, but I can do a post on it if you like Anne, let me know. Thank you Anne.
