I’m testing it now also and it’s such a massive time saver. AI will only replace the videographers, photographers and graphic designers who fail to embrace the competitive edge that AI gives us now.
This is amazing. I spent hours removing trash cans when I took senior photos in stadiums and later noticed the bins, or half an advertisement, or the trainers table, etc., in the background. This would have been ideal. I was very impressed with my copy of Luminar. I'm glad to see they've kept improving.
Such a great tool. I want to believe we will always need the creatives who produce beautiful stuff. No AI can overcome the creativity of talent. I know a ton of people who cannot frame a photo if their life depended on it. However, tools like this will continue to amaze and astound us.
I think you're totally right, but the creatives that embrace AI and add it to their toolbelt will absolutely outpace those that haven't embraced it yet. At the end of the day, AI is just a tool for creatives to leverage!
@@DavidManningvlog Well, yeah, but as you noted in the vid - AI is still very young. There's every chance we'll start seeing buttons like "recompose this photo to look professional" and the AI will draw from the billions of photos out there to determine what makes a good photo, and bam. Done.
Cool video / I think for now it would be so helpful for personal use like familly photo, trips, events, maybe concerts / don't know if commercial work would pass, perhaps web and apps but no prints / by the way happy birthday man!!!
Great video! I have been holding off with photography with the astounding evolution of AI tools. I might have to dive back into it and maybe look at some of my older photos to see what i can't do and test its abilities.
Think of how many pictures have been taken of Pike Place and there's an endless cache of photos to fill in. I have Neo and am gonna need to go back through photos to see what can be improved. The bathroom pic is insane. As a Seattleite who works for the siren, a dumpster can sometimes represent the city, but def not the vibe of Seattle. We're a bunch of nerds who just want our books, coffee and beer.
This looks cool. The green sweatshirt guy is gone but I noticed the AI forgot to put the car taillight on the left. 🤷🏼♂️ It’s only going to get better though. 😎👍🏻
I wonder if, because there will soon be many more “perfect” pictures, unedited pictures will be more popular in the future. At some point you get tired of things. Especially for a hobby photographer like me, photos are always memories. It feels strange to falsify your own memories with such tools, perhaps authenticity will soon become something that is VERY important in art of all kinds.
I think that's the pendulum that always swings back and forth. When nothing is polished, the polished stands out, then when everything is polished, the unpolished stands out
All this stuff has been doable in Photoshop for months. Luminar is a cool company but I’d be curious to see a comparison between what their AI can do vs what you can do currently in Photoshop. I will say, pre-Photoshop Beta’s generative AI, Luminar was my go-to app for AI. Especially with Sky Replacement. Anyway, an informative and fun video nonetheless! 🎉
Photoshop now has limits to how much generative AI you can use. This tool, which I don't have but am looking into, has no such limits, so that alone may make it worth getting?
@@paulfrederick7323 I use it a ton every day and haven't ran into any limit - I believe it slows down if you run out of credits or something but I haven't seen that happen yet so I don't think there's a limit
I've seen some example images of what this feature and it often leaves "marks" where it has removed things. For example the paintjob on blue car looks a little weird. It's not perfect but maybe good enough?
No LN needed for that. If you have a PC with an Nvidia graphics card (to make it faster) you can do it by installing Stable Diffusion (SD) locally and then you don't even need an internet connection. LN also uses SD and you can install it on PC/Mac although if you only have CPU power then it takes longer.
Wow... Thanks David... Technology is moving at the speed of light. It is a little scary..... But let's face it..... Who likes to do photo editing..... How many hours of your life can you get back and do something else...... I think it's kind of great.
It's pretty wild to see how approachable high level edits have become because of AI. Pretty much anyone can load in a photo and have AI do things that no editor could have done a few years back. I'm loving it and can't wait to see more!
I tried Luminar Neo for one month. I will say that it is a good photo processing application for beginners. But it is very slow and I have a very powerful mac studio computer. Also, Photoshop has had its own AI generative fill for some time, which I think works much better than this one.
Such a cool tool! I’d love to play around with it but I won’t use anything I have to subscribe to. And it actually surprises me that it’s subscription based if it’s aimed at hobbyists that aren’t even using it to make any money 🤦🏼♂️ 😫
In 5 years all of this will be possible for free without internet connection... I still remember not 3 years ago millions and millions of editors use to get paid specifically to remove stuff from pictures. Now the client can do it himself faster, better, and for free... This is way too automated to the point even someone who never touched Ps before can do it... What's the point of becoming good at Call of Duty when everybody is allowed to use the same cheats?
You are exaggerating. The generated parts are actually only about 80 percent correct - averagely. But people will get used to blurred and illogical shapes, and finally all critique will stop at the point when this degradation has become the new normal. Where do you want AI to stop? At the moment you are given the option to choose which elements you want to remove. Feel special for a while. At some point you will not even be asked. Your worst images will automatically be edited according to normal AI standards, with a copy to Instagram. When will it begin to feel strange for the photographer to sign his own? intellectual product.
You no doubt, have struck the Atlantis effect that no one else could ever have achieved. Or you cheated it somehow, LOL. Either way, not one other person has had this cumulative success.... Something's fishy with this video... 😁
