Which tools in Photoshop can we use without losing copyright to our images?

[DaBee]

Which photshop tools can we use and retain full rights to our images? which tools are machine learning and using pixels from my image ? which are AI and use pixels it generated?

If a tool is using pixels from my images to generate the requseted area ( when tidying up an edge or extending my back ground) as in content aware fill it is my work. If it uses the crop extend and fill still my work or not? is that content aware fill or AI at work?  what about Gaussian blur, hue saturation etc ?  Its clear AI when using stock to generate fill thats my creativiity but  not my pixels so not my copyright? AI shared pixels my creativity? shared copyright? do i copyright the promt?

I would like to know if the tools I use in Photoshop are now taking my image and creating somthing I cant claim is my own? and which are  giving me tools to retouch re-position edit and improve? Ive always thought  of photoshop as a way to develop my photographs and improve them. Inow shoot knowing i will .. just whip that out in photshop etc.. Now I wonder is the new remove tool AI or Machine learning if i remove a person a tree  a piece of the image i dont want ?? is it replaceing it with my pixels or is it deciding to use AI?

I need to know which tool is using which system so i can choose what to do when editing my photos and know there usage prior to completing the edit ? not what i do now now i make my photo the best it can be based on my mood and creativity on the day....  I sell if i want i keep it on disk if i want  i dont have to con sider do i own it when some one asks to buy it I know.  Im making hundreds of assests for a guitar teacher based on one or two origional photos... they have to be copyrighted. Do I  have to do everything maualy to be sure? or stop using photo shop for a few months till is clear?  Any body know the answer already?

Totally with you DaBee, and it seems Adobe's in danger of ignoring the photographers that helped make the platform such a success. But my worry is not AI, which is probably ubiquitous already (we just aren't always told) but GenAI - that's where it sounds like we lose complete control of our own work. If AI is now part of Camera Raw is it ethically any different from basic computer software? Not a techie so I'm asking the question...

There is other photo editing software out there but the chances are they're going to be chasing the tails of Adobe and also incorporating AI as quickly as they can to keep up, if they aren't ahead already. Non smiley face.

Actually DaBee I've just spent the evening talking to a guy who works in IT, a senior programmer in a large company connected to Microsoft, and the conclusion is AI is VERY different from everyday software. It's machine learning that's both very exciting and very unknown even to people in the tech world. The fact that Adobe are absorbing it into their software should be a concern to photographer who wants to retain total control over their own creative work.
