New Images #31: Flora
A mixed bag for New Images this week, all flora. The featured image above and left is “Abstract Garden.” (Click left for other view and full-size option. Although I think I prefer the smaller image.) Edited in Luminar Neo. For those new to New Images, I’ll recap. New Images is a (usually) weekly post (Wednesday…

New Images #29 – Synthetic Photography
AI imaging is continuing to advance in power and sophistication. The relationship between traditional photography and generative AI is evolving. In documentary photography and in journalism, the consensus is clear and settled: The use of generative AI is completely prohibited. In Fine Art, the relationship is less clear. Naturally, the advent of AI will create…

New Images #28
Continuing to experiment with a variety of both traditional and AI techniques, I have three very distinct images this week. First are these Gerbera Daisy blooms. This started life as a studio closeup photograph. But the colors were too bright (partly due to too much light – shot with a bright ring light), and I…

New Images #27 – Cityscapes
Long-time followers of my photography may recall that I like cityscapes. I am finding AI to be a perfect tool for creating some cool-looking cityscapes. (I want to acknowledge Tracy Hirai of Adobe for the suggestion leading to these images.) The prompts for these images emphasize geometric abstract design and bold color blocking. These three…

New Images #26 – Digital Painting
Just one image this week in the New Images series. This was done entirely by an AI. But rather than simply give the AI an instruction, however detailed, and then letting the AI go at it, it was done in steps, each time adding or modifying a part of the image. For instance, ‘Make the…

New Images 25: More Editing with Generative AI
This week, I am continuing to explore the AI possibilities with Adobe Firefly and Photoshop in editing images. Recall from last week that I learned I could upload a photograph or image to Firefly and then instruct it to edit the image by describing the desired changes. Sitting at my favorite coffee shop in Stamford,…

New Images #24 – New AI Imaging
If you’re nervous about Generative AI imaging, or opposed to it, this isn’t going to help. I’m going to demonstrate a new ability of generative AI just released by Adobe. The image to the left and featured above is generated by Adobe Firefly using Google’s Gemini with Nano Banana. Adobe Firefly can now take a…

New Images #23 – Water; Irises
Opening this week’s edition of New Images is this triptych, titled simply “Water.” There’s no AI involved. They are camera photographs that have been edited and combined into this format. The photographs are of a summer stream in Maine. Water is abundant in Maine. I tried to capture the many colors reflected in the water…

New Images #22
It has been a busy week. While New Images is usually posted on Wednesday or Thursday, I’m behind in my posting this week. Bear with me. For this week’s New Images, we start with “Pins”, featured above and to the right. (Click on the image at right for full-screen view.) The image was created with…

New Images #21 – Abstract Compositions; Spring Florals
For this edition of New Images, I have two sets of images: First, three abstract compositions; Second, two spring floral arrangements. This image is titled “Full of Light.” It was produced in Adobe Firefly with a long and extremely detailed prompt: Modern abstract composition full of light, color and movement. Fluid and dynamic shapes that…
