New Images is my series I use to explore alternate, or different, ideas about photography. In particular, I experiment with AI imaging, on it’s own or in conjunction with other digital tools and traditional methods. AI is now baked into almost every standard digital editing program. I’m clear about my use of AI tools, and I don’t try to pass my images off as anything other than what they are. While photography purists may still disagree with me, I believe that AI is transforming photography, the same as it is much else today.
I’ve become enamored of AI processing photo images to create a painted watercolor look. I’m continuing to refine the process. All the images in today’s post started as photographs from the camera. They were then edited in Photoshop, which included the waterpaint rendition. They were then further edited with Nik Analog Efex to improve clarity, exposure, and tonal quality. This first image, and the featured image above, is “Mixed Flowers.”
All images are clickable to view images in alternate sizes including full-size.
That’s this week’s New Images. I would love feedback. What do you think of these images? Of the process? The next edition will be next week, Wednesday or Thursday.
