Will AI help photographers or replace them? Rod Lawton looks at how AI is being used in photo editors
Al editing and how it's changing photography

AI in photography is certainly a hot topic. There seems to be all sorts of different responses to this rapidly emerging technology, from fear and mistrust to excitement and enthusiasm.

In this feature we will take a look at the ways AI technology is currently being used in photographic image editing so that you can decide just how far you want to take it.

Make things better 

AI can offer technical enhancements to images that were not possible before. AI can convincingly remove high ISO image noise while improving details, upsize images and improve the detail rendition in raw images over the original file. This is all achieved with AI deep learning software which can, essentially, work out what’s in the image and add to it, replace it or enhance it ‘intelligently’. We look at some of these tools in this first section.

Enhance and exaggerate

In the second section we’ll look at AI time-savers, such as AI masking tools, Lightroom’s Adaptive Presets and AI sky replacement. Photographers have long used editing software to change and enhance parts of a photograph, and AI tools now make this a whole lot simpler.
