    That's something that I've noticed as I've gotten better and better at photography. Good photographers (or photo editors) can turn pretty bad or mediocre photos into pretty nice photos with a few tricks!

    I remember watching Pete, maybe 6-7 Years ago with less than a 100k Subs or around that line and thinking how the hell does he NOT have more, this page peaked my interest in Photography and I tried it out but with like a lot of people I put it down because it was a very time and money consuming hobby and because of other stuff in life. but now that I decided to pick up a camera again, I come back to Petes teaching to get more inspiration like before. very happy of what and how big he became!

    • @jtpritchard
      @jtpritchard Год назад +1

      I switched to davinci a few months back because its free. The only learning is colour grading is more indepth everything else is very straight forward. It will also ask you what programs you used to use and make it look similar to that so mine looks like premiere except for the colour grading.

      When I’m working with clients I always tell them not all of them will be bangers, and the aim of the entire session is to get ONE decent photo. We usually find more, but honestly only one is shared anyway. 1/300 pictures is edited and shared usually.

    Curious on your thoughts Pete. I love this information and how amazing Luminar island what it can do. Do you feel that by integrating Luminar AI in your workflow that it will start to deteriorate that way one shoots? Thinking some people might use it as a crutch vs just trying to get good imagery right out of camera. Worth discussing

    I find as creatives, we can be our own worst critics and often get outright hostile if someone gives us negative feedback. But that's how we learn and get better, take the feedback, learn to honestly look at your own work and then just keep going and working on your own skills. I totally agree, art is subjective and not everyone likes out work.

    Great content as always! Speaking of AI, I think this is where I've meant to get professionals' opinions. Obviously AI models have to be trained on data. The bigger the model, the more data it has to see and get better. Now, these photos have to come from somewhere. And back in the days of open source research, we could build datasets from photos all over the internet and train models on them with the knowledge that as university and/or industrial research labs, we open sourced the models. Recently though, companies (looking at you OpenAI or should I say, ClosedAI..anyone? No? ok) are no longer releasing their models or data they train these models on or even model architecture. They commercialize the models they train, but don't compensate the people whose photos they scrape to create their training datasets. These models are so big so they require an immeasurable amount of organic data to learn how to do things that look organic, and that data has to be come from somewhere. If you've got some sort of photo, licensed or not online, it likely exists in someone's training dataset. You can easily find recent models that "create" photos that, funny enough, have artifacts that look like watermarks in them. The model sees so many photos with watermarks, that it starts to think watermarks are organic to some types of photos. As a hobbyist, I mostly don't mind taking my photos, but for a professional, what do you think about your work being used as training data for these models to learn from? How about being compensated for it?
