Original “Is Photography As We Know It Dying?”: https://youtu.be/VnAdW9xjGq8

It was bound to happen. Artificial Intelligence, often abbreviated as “Ai” has started to infiltrate the photography world. In the past, the only way to get great photos was for photographers to spend a ton of time out on location mastering the craft of photography. As demands for more surreal imagery increased, studio “trickery” was done in the darkroom with techniques such as dodging, burning, color processing, and even merging of multiple images.

In the mid 90s, as computers became more and more powerful, photography entered into the digital era and photo manipulations became even more common and advanced. As photographers transitioned from film cameras to digital cameras, programs like Photoshop made editing images easier than ever.

Today we are at a point where literally anything is possible with photography. This new era of digital photography now poses many new questions around one of the world’s most important art forms. At what point is photography even photography anymore? How much manipulation is too much manipulation? Does a photographer need to know how to edit photos in post production?

With the release of Skylum’s newest photo editing software, Luminar 4, photographers have more tools than ever to create the “perfect” image. With the use of advanced algorithms and artificial intelligent editing, the line between reality and perfection can literally be altered with the swipe of a single slider.

In this video, Patrick Hall tests out Luminar 4 to see what is possible with a few of their new tools powered by artificial intelligence. Will Ai allow you to edit photos better and more efficiently or should photographers stick to the more advanced and customizable editing tools of the past?
