Not often you see a Yaffle taking a bath!

A bit of grass between its legs and by the tail…but not bad automatic masking.

Footnote:

I did actually tone down the bird to better match the contrast of the background image afterwards ( maybe a tad too much)

One of the things AI gets wrong sometimes imho is matching the contrast of the replacement background to the subject cutout. In this instance the brighter punchier original image didn’t quite look right to my eye against the dull pond image produced.



Interesting howler……On another image of the woodpecker sitting in a tree I asked AI to replace the tangled branches with the bird perched on a single branch with a lake behind. The resulting chimera had an extended beak of a kingfisher but the colours of the woodpecker. AI clearly only had shots of kingfishers sitting on branches over water. So you do have to be careful what you wishe for. Lol

I suppose I should have asked AI to remove the water buffalo’s earrings as well. 

But you have to leave something for the photographer to do. :thumbs:

I have just discovered how clever this AI can be.

Doing through some old IR photos I came across one image of Iron Bridge which I hadn’t processed because it had 4 people and some workmen’s screening on the bridge either masking the railings or behind them. It sort of spoilt the image. So I set the generative infill on Photoshop with the challenge of doing more than one fill at the same time.

Using simple path/ selection to surround each person and including some of the railing and background it took 30secs to mask and save each section in turn, then recall them en mass. I’ve focussed in on the 3 that were centre frame….

I then hot the generative fill button and ….

And within another 30sec the process was complete….

It’s done an excellent job with the two members of the public and an ‘acceptable’ attempt at the worker who was in front of the rails compared to the other two people and he also had foliage behind as well as a more acute angle reducing the railing gaps. 

Aside from the fact it struggled to get the railing spacing right (with the worker obscuring the railings for better reference), what I found fascinating and very clever, was its ability to tackle more than one distinctly different area of the image at the same time.

It’s not perfect but getting something 90% ok/ usable in under 5 minutes compared to manual cloning which would have probably taken me an hour to do them all.

Footnote: I missed the fact the middle guy had a dog on a lead, which should have been included in the mask. :banghead:

It has worked out well Eric and if you wanted to spend a little time the rail spacing could be fixed as well.

This is a small crop of the bridge image so it’s not recogniseable on the full photo. Losing the people and some other safety equipment makes a difference but without blowing up the section with the railings at an angle you don’t notice it.

it always was the big issue cloning something symmetrical on the angle…the gaps, thickness and lengths all change with perspective.

I blame Graham, for starting this thread. I am trying to thin out my photo archives and every time I come across a reject I think "I wonder if AI can make this more presentable'. I then get distracted from my task !!

I am currently reviewing some old images taken a long time ago on a trip to the Forest of Dean where semi wild boar roam in controlled areas...their area has boundary wires near human habitation.

I already did a piglet (or its it a boarlet?) above but thought the old grunter could be tidied up by AI as well.


Take one boaring picture......

And get AI to Elaboarate it......removed the wires in 15secs.

Enough.  I must get on thinning.
