I would like to know if there is any software that uses AI, such as Luminar that makes sky replacement, to also replace the floor, people, trees, cars, and buildings, cat, dog and ostrich.
I consider myself a great photographer because I have a great camera (people say I'm a good photographer when they look at my camera!), And a great computer, of course!
This software should preferably do everything with minimal work. I'm just going to photograph something boring, and turn it into a photography perfection, and me, a great photographer !!! Perhaps the best of all !!! (I will have a lot of fun with the comments!)

Yes there is....

It's called "stock photography".

Getty Images is the largest stock photo agency. Go to their website, search for the type of photo you want. Buy it. Print it. Frame it. Tell everyone that you took it. Done.

O . . . I understand the comment "What a nice camera, you must be a great photographer."


We all do, but comments like that only come from people that don't understand photography, not from other photographers. . . .

I think frankraney hit it perfect and I am assuming this is a joke. If it isn't it reveals several things in your character:

1. You are very vain and egotistical. You believe that having great gear makes you a good photographer. NOT SO!!

2. Your friends are gullible. They believe good equipment makes a good photographer. See last part of point1.

3. you are lazy!! That is the only way I think to describe someone that doesn't want to learn the camera and software to make a good photo great or a great photo exceptional.

I hope you are better photographer that this, but since you have not posted any of your masterpieces there is no proof.

What you do with the software is a reflection on you, not the software company. Software is a tool - the user determines how it is used and why.

BTW we already have cloning for removal of unwanted elements in our photos.

Yes, this is just a joke !!!
I learned photography in the days of film, when photography was not only art, but also magic. Today it is still art, but the magic has died. I don't consider myself a good photographer, but I love photography and I always want to learn more. I want to capture that magical moment, but I don't want the computer to destroy the soul of the photo.

Finally someone who gets it. I'm with ya. Why spend years perfecting your craft, getting up at 3 am to catch that golden sunrise or staying till 3am to shoot that milky way, being out in nature, seeing the wildlife, driving long hours just to get an actual photograph. That's for suckers and no talent fools like Ansel Adams, Elliott Porter, David Muench, Galen Rowell, Marc Adamus.
I can just sit in bed and push a button and have Luminar take the photo for me. And then fool all my friends and call it art.

While we are guessing this was all a humorous post to make a point, I am not laughing too much because that kind of software is already here. It has such names as Topaz AI, Adobe AI, NVIDIA, etc. When it is used to add detail to one of our photos, then we consider it wonderful software, but the pixels newly found are all fake. They are guessed at by software that has looked at millioons of phyotos and which practiced machine learning to know what kind of detail is often present in certain types of environment. See the recent thread here: https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-669674-3.html (My post is the very last one.)

It can destroy the soul or bring out the soul. If you want the latter then learn how to. The user determines how the software is used and why.

People steal photos from everywhere, so it's not surprising that this place is no different. We've literally caught people here before that have taken the photo and then posted it in their own post just a few hours later.


Grrrr

I'm glad this is a joke!! I would love to see some of your work posted, most of us are a least a bit better that we think.

Yes, “false pixels” and the photographer at the end will have the feeling that he took a good photo. This is very different from global settings, such as brightness, etc.
