AI as a Starting Point vs. Manual Craft: How Do You Balance the Two? Let's talk Harmonize

I’ve always loved doing things manually — compositing by hand, building shadows, fine-tuning colors. That craft is what makes my work uniquely mine.

Photoshop’s new Harmonize feature (powered by Adobe Firefly) has truly impressed me. One click can align colors, tones, and shadows across layers, giving me a strong head start. But for me, the story, the style, and the finishing touches still come from my manual process.

✨ Even though I use AI, I love doing things manually — because that’s my craft.

👉 How about you? Do you see tools like Harmonize as an enhancer for your manual precision, or do you prefer to keep AI out of your workflow entirely?
