The 6 best photo editing apps for your phone

Popular Science

You can do more with your pictures--you just need the right app. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. You've likely got a plethora of photos stored on your phone, charting out every day (or maybe even every hour) in detail, but have you done anything with them lately? Maybe you share them just as they are--or perhaps you leave them locked away. The right photo editing app can help you to do more with your photos, and make the most of them before sharing.


GraphicBench: A Planning Benchmark for Graphic Design with Language Agents

Large Language Model (LLM)-powered agents have unlocked new possibilities for automating human tasks. While prior work has focused on well-defined tasks with specified goals, the capabilities of agents in creative design tasks with open-ended goals remain underexplored. We introduce GraphicBench, a new planning benchmark for graphic design that covers 1,079 user queries and input images across four design types. We further present GraphicTown, an LLM agent framework with three design experts and 46 actions (tools) to choose from for executing each step of the planned workflows in web environments. Experiments with six LLMs demonstrate their ability to generate workflows that integrate both explicit design constraints from user queries and implicit commonsense constraints. However, these workflows often do not lead to successful execution outcomes, primarily due to challenges in: (1) reasoning about spatial relationships, (2) coordinating global dependencies across experts, and (3) retrieving the most appropriate action per step. We envision GraphicBench as a challenging yet valuable testbed for advancing LLM-agent planning and execution in creative design tasks.

TL;DR: This mystery app is an AI-powered photo editor with tons of preset filters--save 84% for the Windows, Mac, or Photoshop and Lightroom plugin. If only life had an edit button. Luminar Neo, an award-winning photo editor, says it does. Its AI tools can replace it with a gorgeous sunny backdrop. And, when Uncle Rob doesn't show up for family holidays, you can edit him in the photos anyway.


The 10 giveaways that a picture has been photoshopped, according to experts - amid Princess Kate's doctored family pic scandal

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Everyone from influencers to celebrities - and now, even the British monarchy - have been caught altering their photos shared online. Experts say it is becoming increasingly difficult with AI and photo-editing apps - but there are still 10 giveaways that you should be aware of. These include checking the edges of people and objects, investigating shadows and inspecting the background for curves. The tips comes as multiple major news agencies withdrew Kensington Palace's first photo of Princess of Wales Kate Middleton on Sunday, after picture editors noticed at least 16 different details that did not look right. Kensington Palace yesterday released the first picture of the Princess of Wales since surgery. Major news agencies quickly pulled the photo after editors noticed more than a dozen details that suggested it had been altered.


Adobe teases a crazy AI photo editor named after the Death Star

PCWorld

Adobe plans to announce a ridiculously cool photo editor at Adobe Max, dubbed Project Stardust, that uses AI to understand objects in your photos as…objects -- allowing you to quickly edit and modify them. Adobe released a teaser for Project Stardust on YouTube, where Adobe employees showed off how Stardust could "understand" that a photo of a woman pulling a suitcase was made up of discrete objects. Simply by clicking on the suitcase, Stardust appears to understand that it's an object, and that it can be moved around or deleted. Though somewhat late to the AI party (following the launch of Midjourney and other early examples of AI art generators), Adobe launched its Firefly AI generative tool last year and quickly added AI features like outpainting to Photoshop before adding Firefly to Photoshop via generative art tools, albeit with a credit plan. Now, Adobe seems poised to take the next step.

Will DALL-E the AI Artist Take My Job?

#artificialintelligence

As someone working in a creative field, I've never been concerned about a computer taking my job. I always felt confident that the tasks required of me as a photo editor for New York Magazine are too complex and messy -- too human -- for an artificial intelligence to perform. That is, until DALL-E 2, a sophisticated AI that generates original artwork based only on text input, opened to public beta last June. It's easy to lose hours on the r/dalle2 subreddit, where beta testers have been posting their work. More often than not, the only way to differentiate a DALL-E creation from a human-generated image is five colorful squares tucked in the bottom right corner of each composition -- DALL-E's signature.


Best AI Tools That Transform Photo Editing

#artificialintelligence

All businesses have started to integrate AI in all their tasks to have a brighter and highly efficient future. Photo editing is one area that has seen a massive transformation ever since AI has been integrated with it. Competition levels have risen, the industry has grown, and the world of photography has been completely transformed. AI Photo Editing Software includes features such as filters, different backgrounds, and templates. These features make the complex photo editing job quite easy to perform with a few clicks of a button.


Skylum Luminar AI Launches with AI at the Core of the Experience

#artificialintelligence

Skylum has officially launched Luminar AI which comes packed with multiple AI-Powered editing tools including an enhanced sky replacer and several new ways to reshape and change the human body or face. Skylum has heavily hyped this latest software release with months of teasers and online chatter. The company says that with the launch of Luminar AI, it hopes to offer an alternative to the approach that traditional photo editors present and give creatives a workflow driven by artificial intelligence. Skylum says its goal was to remove tedious tasks and eliminate learning curves. The first step in this goal is realized through the new Templates system that automatically scans each photo for subject and problem areas and then recommends a Template that Skyulum says "challenges an artist's creativity while also helping them achieve common tasks."


Luminar AI Uses Human-Inspired Artificial Intelligence for A Faster Editing Experience

#artificialintelligence

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.
