There is no AI generation or AI-controlled processing associated with the video being discussed. It's about helping you learn processing skills that will allow you realise your personal vision for a photograph by forcing you to think about, and articulate the reasoning behind why you took it...

Yep, I'm not sure why he picked such a poor picture. But in many respects it's not about making great photgraphs, but leaning how to process pictures to match the vision you have for that picture. Which is what he did. I know from his courses and other videos that Blake would absolutely agree...

Thanks I've obviously come away with a very different impression. I'm not convinced this model has been trained just as simplistically as you suggest. Blake has trained it to replicate the type of critique he provides his f64 members and other paid for critiques he offers. I see the "Vision"...

Did you watch the video?

Yes, I thought that given its length people might skip to the video, and I felt worthwhile having some background to Blake before going to the video.

Have you actually watched it, because I didn't think it did this at all. Why I changed my mind from my initial thoughts was because it was the photographer who guided the AI to help them produce the photograph they wanted to produce.

Ah, that is below the "video", not my comments below the "link to the video" in my original post. I see ;-)

I'm not sure what "two" comments you are referring to ;-( I had several paragraphs of comments posted below the link to the video, and these are still visible to me. And I don't get any ads when I click on the link, it goes straight to the video where Blake walks you through how it works. It...

I think you possibly missed my point, or I explained it badly, which was essentially, that just because something is covered by a law, doesn't necessarily make it simple to understand what is or isn't legal, especially when it comes to something like "decency".

Maybe @DemiLion can comment, but I'm not sure how different that is from the situation in the UK.

Here is a link to a video about using "Vision Mentor" to help you process a photograph based on "your" vision of what you want the final print to look like. It's 37 minutes long, so a bit of a watch, but having watched it (after initially dismissing the idea) I'm wondering if there isn't some...

I've never heard of him, but looked him up, https://chrisfossart.com/

Yes I know, but that is a good link. The other important historical point of interest is Gustave Le Gray, who in the 1850s was adding skies to landscape photographs. https://www.onlandscape.co.uk/2011/10/masters-of-photography-gustave-le-gray/

I thought this was rather fun, and indeed in 1971, when I started to work at my local portrait photographers', we had an airbrush for retouching and colourising photographs. I only saw it used occasionally, and I never learned to use it...

Like @Dryce and @Jonny Guitar. I think there are always grey areas within the law, which is why the police are allowed to make judgment calls, and we have the CPS (Procurator Fiscal in Scotland), magistrates, juries and Judges. A barrister once told me that laws are deliberately ambiguous, so...
