The AI revolution is upon on, and as photographers, we are perhaps one of the most vulnerable groups to AI as it could render the camera obsolete. But rather than get all doom and gloom about where our AI future is headed, we can instead embrace the change and work out how it can work for us and not against us.
Adobe has been adding AI-powered tools to its suite of editing apps for several years now, but none have been nearly as powerful as the generative AI Adobe added to Photoshop (Beta) powered by Adobe's proprietary AI engine Adobe Firefly. There are many many ways to use Photoshop's new AI, but the simplest, and most immediately effective is the ability to expand a background on an image. Perfect for when you couldn't quite squeeze out the perspective that you wanted, or if your image doesn't quite fit the ratio for a particular use.
