AI is everywhere, and that’s okay. Hey, it can help you with your work by providing complementary and enhanced capabilities.
AI Image Generators are not here to take your job or replace you in any way. They are simply tools to help you with your work. They can inspire you for your projects.
Now, let’s say you have a client who wants photos in a forest. You can prompt the AI with a text describing your photo session, and you can see what it gives you. Is this something that you can generate on your own, with your lighting, with your camera, with your lenses, with the ambiance, with the location?
Is this something that you can replicate on your own? It’s inspiration. Now AI text generators. That’s something completely different, because it literally can write copy words for your site, for your blog, for your emails, for your Instagram uh descriptions, or photos for everything. But think of these as starting points to get the task underway.
They could be better. Because they make a lot of mistakes. They need grammar checks. They’re not perfect. They’re not going to replace you. And the way you think, the way you speak, and the way you write.
There’s also things like AI culling, like from Imagen. It’s a great starting point to help find the best photos in your Lightroom folder or collection of whoever you work. But you should always look at it so that you could verify things are okay. The things are the way you want them to be. Always make sure nothing was missed.
This brings me to editing also from Imagen. It learns how you edit in Lightroom Classic and then edits for you. It’s amazing. It’s mind blowing. But like a human editor, it may not be perfect the first time. You have to teach it as if it was a human. But once it knows you, it’s a game changer. Some even say it knows them better than they know themselves. But again, it does not take the human out of the equation.
You or your editor are still the creative. AI is here to enhance, inspire, and help you work more efficiently. Think about that.
