I do a lot of photography that centers around making prints.<p>Maybe 1/5 of the time I use Adobe's Generative Fill in Photoshop to make things go away, paint an extra row of bricks on a brick wall, etc. I never use it to add something novel to a scene but if I need to remove something unwanted or add a little content so I can center the image property it gets the job done in seconds, frequently on the first try.<p>I recently started using DxO to develop photos, it has a denoiser that is based on a neural network. I don't use it for my flower photos that I shoot under bright conditions with wide or very aperture primes (my favorite lens is so fast I'm thinking of buying a neutral density filter for it) but my main "challenge" now is sports photography where the exposure is short and often the game is indoors or under lights in the evening. For instance this was shot with 1/2000 s exposure under 3200 ISO<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/@UP8/111287683773262304" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://mastodon.social/@UP8/111287683773262304</a><p>and after processing it looks hardly grainy at all. (There's a good neural denoiser in Adobe's Lightroom too, but DxO is way better.)<p>Nobody would tag me as a "midjourney artist" , in fact I prize an authentic look in my photos, I like photos out of my Sony with the default setting (wasn't the case for the Canon I had 10 years ago) and it wasn't until late this summer that I started doing a lot in post.<p>For me A.I. is about authentic photos that look <i>way</i> better than they'd look otherwise.
