Hi all, I’m just wondering what everyone thinks about the latest Lightroom/Photoshop updates ?
Being able to re light a photo after it’s taken is crazy.
Is it all getting a bit too AI ? I enjoy some of it but when it takes to much away from actual photography I’m out.
 
I dont think much because the updates were minimal this time. You have a couple of new gen ai toys which you can safely ignore as they will likely be the same low res subpar slop as before
 
The relight layer is amazing. And incorporating built in Topaz AI edits can also be amazing (or stupid). But for the most part I just don't use those capabilities.

What bothers me is how heavily a lot of others are using AI extensively for their photography... it's getting hard to trust what you see.
 
I think there is a fine line between basic touching up an image and then the adding of elements, lights, rays of sun, different skies, stars, generative AI and such.

When does it cross over from photography into something else?

That being said, some of the stuff people use is very clever and having a sound grasp on the PP side of things can turn a poor photograph into a pleasing image......but is it still a photograph?

I'm not sure it matters... I've always been fine with pretty heavy edits; even in the darkroom with film (composites, removing items, etc). I've always looked at it as "art" rather than documentary.

But it's getting to the point where there is no requirement for creative effort, just type some suggestions into a prompt box. And AI edits ca be just as bad; having nothing of the original image other than having used it as a reference.
