How AI-Powered Tools Are Creating A Revolution In The Photo Editing Space

Date:

As the world moves forward, technology is advancing with every day that passes. Artificial Intelligence (AI), a technology that was believed to only be implemented in the distant future, is practically mandatory today. It is everywhere – every company in just about every niche is employing AI to some degree.

This is certainly the case with photo editing applications. In this article, we shall take a look at different ways in which AI has changed the photo editing space and examples of AI-driven photo editing tools.

Ways In Which AI Has Changed Photo Editing

AI is generally used to perform manual, repetitive tasks quickly so that the editor does not have to do the same and focus on other tasks. Here are some ways in which AI has changed photo editing:

Automatic Masking

With traditional methods, selective editing was often a tedious process because you would have to mask certain areas and carefully select subject edges…which would take a lot of time. While manual masking is doable, it is hardly a viable solution because of how tedious it is to be accurate. However, with AI now in the mix, automatic masking is possible with only a few clicks in a matter of minutes.

Helps You Choose Your Best Photos

Photographers generally have to sift through hundreds of photographs before the zero in on a select few pictures that stand out. This process needs to take place multiple times to finally get the ones they want and it usually takes a few hours. Some photographers would wager that this is one of the most burdensome parts of editing.

AI can help choose the best photos, thus reducing human error and saving heaps of time in the process, and allowing you to focus on what matters: editing.

Upscaling Low Resolution Images

A widely discussed advantage of AI in photo editing is its ability to upscale low resolution images. Meaning, it can turn low resolution images into high resolution images. Photographers generally turn to Photoshop for upscaling. However, Photoshop’s algorithms are basic when compared to AI.

Moreover, AI is useful to newbie photographers and editors who do not have a firm grasp over tools like Photoshop.

Disadvantage of AI in Photo Editing

The main disadvantage of AI in photo editing is the lack of creativity. While AI helps newbies and veterans come up with pro-level edits, it also limits their creativity since they have less control over their photographs. AI does not pave the way for new styles and creativity.

AI-Powered Tools

Here are some AI-powered tools that you can look into if you want to streamline your editing:

1. Erase.bg

Background removers are a thing. As the name suggests, a background remover tool removes the background from your image at the click of a button. Erase.bg is one such tool that lets you remove background from your image and download a high resolution version of the final image in seconds.
