Wir sind mit Leuten vom @cccfr auf den #Schauinsland gefahren und haben von oben Bilder von der #Mondfinsternis gemacht. Leider kann man sich heute auch nicht mehr auf den #Mond verlassen und Wolken versteckten ihn.

Hier der erste Schlag, RAW aufgenommen mit #CanonM mit #22m #PancakeLens und mit #LuminarAI nachbearbeitet.

#Photography news: Apparently using generative fill in Photoshop flags the image as being "made with AI" through the "authenticity" metadata. Even if you're using it to just remove a random speck or something.

When I post my photos to #Tumblr and #Pixelfed I manually describe my images as using AI if I actually use AI tools (like #LuminarAI or Topaz Labs tools or other AI-based denoising). But I don't use that kind of label for retouching that basically only removes defects (which are really common with, say, scanned film photos) in a way that's basically equivalent to using non-AI tools (e.g. clone tool). Heck, I also describe images as having stylistic edits, when that's the thing. Describing the use of AI is necessary when it's warranted, but it's not *always* warranted.

I'm pretty sceptical about this whole "authenticity" metadata thing, because it's a technology solution to a human problem.

Café Culture: warm summer urban evening mood

Central Perth last night.

Exactly one year after they removed it in v1.0.5, #Skylum finally managed to bring back the preset slider into #LuminarNeo in v1.8.0.

When they killed this option, their software became pretty useless to me and I went back to using #LuminarAI (and as I noticed many other users too), because I don't have time and patience to touch a dozen sliders to enforce or weaken the edits in my preset.

I really wonder who in software companies makes such decisions and why? Don't they know their users?
