AI Kind of Sucks at Retouching, Study Says

AI is like another Photoshop tool. It was there way before these new AI models emerged. But it is now more robust. I know it will get better every day. But I see for retouchers or photographers, AI can be a great addition to their existing workflow.

Ultimately the final result would be yours, if you're part of the process.

The full study is here: https://www.colorexpertsbd.com/ai-vs-human-retouchers/

I had actually expected AI to be significantly better at "content aware fill" than the non-AI variant.
iamA_Austin•1w ago
You are right. I think removing a particular object is one example where AI really performs great. I remember watching a video on reddit, the guy did remove one thing but later had to manually fill up the surroundings and it took a lot time man. The new Content Aware Fill does really good job with that. But this study mostly focused on editing product photos. So there is more that goes on top of removing objects.

*edit: The study did show the use of the Photoshop background removal tool which didn't change the product's original look and helped to finish the editing faster than a manually edited one.
