All of the new artificial intelligence we're seeing in the photography world has got me thinking about how it affects what we do. How we think about our creating images might change, no? I recently received a copy of the updates Adobe Photoshop Elements to write about. What I heard as I was listening to their promo video was about how this particular software was geared toward hobbyists and social media mavens. Included are AI-led prompts and steps to help you along the way as you edit an image, create a video or create social media posts.

The Templates feature AI technologies that are content-aware. Templates adjust their edits based on the unique image content, while maintaining a visual style. LuminarAI reviews your image and recommends multiple templates that are well-suited. These will automatically adapt to your pictures. The Templates in LuminarAI can also guide and inspire you.

With traditional photo editors, creating the perfect photo is a time-consuming process that involves moving dozens of sliders. Many seek to use presets to speed this up, but there are severe limitations. Presets tend to only work on images that are virtually identical to the original. To change this tedious and frustrating process, innovative companies race to embrace Artificial Intelligence. But some creatives have been skeptical about its effectiveness and limitations.
