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.

New Images #18 – Are We Becoming More Comfortable With AI and Edited Images?
I read an interesting article recently,“I’m sorry to say, but most people care about the edit, not photographic composition” (Alan Palazon, Digital Camera World, 3/8/2026). “When I put myself in the shoes of the average person who looks at photographs online… I wonder if the scroll-stopping factor of pictures these days is how they’ve been…
