AI photo editing Tools
Crazy Idea for the Adobe employees that occassionally look at these threads (and summarily ignore the ideas offered): the generative AI and neural filters are, on occassion, slightly useful, but they have a limited scope (and become dysfunctional with aspects like the neural filters' memory consumption and the neural filters you've been promising for forever now without hope they'll ever be finished): How about Adobe ... the "photo shopping tool"... makes... I know... CRAZY idea here... one that has somehow slipped past the army of programmers, ceo's, decision makers, and designers at Adobe:
AI Photo shopping tools!?
BOOM! I know, right? Amazing!
But, snark aside, let's be serious for a second Adobe. [cursing removed] There are (it seems like) 500 AI content generators out there, and of the 27+ I've tried: they all work better than adobe's firefly (like, epic leaps and bounds better that I don't even bother with firefly and you would have to do something AMAZING for me to even spend more time giving that a chance). As for generative AI in photos, you are (it feels like), about 40 years away from making that work well on a consistent basis. How or why? I cannot fathom. It does a good job, sometimes, on some subjects. And, I can see that you've put some work into it... although... (again, it seems like), you've spent more money on the advertising and campaign hype for firefly and in-photoshop generative AI than the actual training. But, for some odd reason, the one thing you seem disinterested in doing:
AI Photoshopping tools, with prompts like: undo blur, enhance ring, equalize coloring, change white shades to red shades, restore photo, fix blemish, etc. ... etc.... etc... (as I am not on the team of people paid to do this... I'll let you work out the rest of the prompts). But, it seems to me, that after the decades this company has been in business, you've seen enough photos come through that you know what can be done to a photo. It's not infinite. If someone wants to keep an element but simply (for example) remove or add a blur ... while there are filter tools... why doesn't the AI tool have these functions? Why are there not element AI photoshop mods available IN photoshop? Ie: "Make eyes look forward". "add belt" "remove belt", etc. and so forth and train your AI to integrate into the actual picture? Sure, generative AI does "okay" for filling in gaps... usually. But - I'm talking a USEFUL AI tool, for photoshopping images, that "corrects" and "fixes". You can even create a drop-down list or a limited range list of commands for the editing portion.
There you go. Brazillion dollar fix for adobe. Please don't spend 80 weeks thinking about it and another 80 weeks to implement it because, by then, all of the other AI has caught up and we've moved on. Cheers!
(and get rid of that [cursing removed] "content violation" UNTIL you can figure out how to make it actually work. Seriously. We're tired using software only to be told that adjusting an ear, or adding lighting to a house, is a "violation of community guidelines." It's not. You're a tool for artists. Zero restrictions (except for illegal content obviously and frankly, there are FREE AI tools out now that can detect that with a 90%+ accuracy ... so... what are y'all doing all day long wasting our time with this nonsense? Fix that.)
Thanks!
