Holy Crap, was watching this video and it may almost be enough to make me buy the newest Photoshop when it comes out. I know I certainly won't be looking for it on a torrent site, cause that would be bad.....

Unbelievable.
This type of software, in the hands of a 10yr old photographer, could easily produce professional quality photos. |

Don't go there Chris !!!
"Good photography" has nothing to do with the software you use to "process it" !!!
Photography is A.R.T...
I just ordered CS5 (thanks Marc for the heads up) !!!
End of discussion... For me... |

Well it seems to me like the world will become even more saturated with premium photos. Of course you can never have enough nice photos. I realize someone has to be at the right place at the right time to press the button. But the processing part of things can be done in a "snap". A simple click and a snap! |

The difference between this:
and this:
represents about 4 hrs work...
The way I finally "liked" it was like this:
Now that's the way I liked it, and it couldn't be done without Photoshop or Topaz...
The full sized version of it is here:
If you don't like it, then fine... I do... and (to me) that's all that counts... *wink*... ;o)
But if you drive by this place 3 times a day, and you don't stop, and take the back road, and wait till the Sun is in the right spot, then you'll never get it, with or without Photoshop...
OK... really is the end of discussion for me, 'cos I have to hit the hot tub with a Scotch on the rocks (which is also the way I like it)... LOL !!!

Too much blue on the mountains but the rest is awesome.
Great pic Rick.
Wow, if it works the way they show now I will have to go back and fix tons of pictures.
Sigh, more work but at least it should be faster. |

I think only time will tell. Right now, way over edited images are in style. Hopefully we will revert a bit because people are killing the high pass filter. High passing will be like what cross processing is now, tacky.
but yeah it is easier, darks rooms get to you after a while. Especially when the chemicals wreck all your cloths and start to eat through your hands.
I still like film, then I barely have to do anything on the computer. And it always looks better, at least for what I shoot. |

I love my photoshop, but this is a little too much. That last pano is completely fake, and I suspect the final version upon closer inspection is not as "neat" as it appears.
The point of the matter is, if you do not shoot directly into the sun, you won't get flare that you have to remove. If you take more shots to cover all the area you want in a pano, you don't need to fake more in. Good photographers won't become a dime a dozen because a really good shot takes planning, forethought and drawing upon experience to use the proper in camera settings at the time of shooting, not during post-processing.
I'm not saying I wouldn't love the opportunity to play with this, and I might save some snapshots that otherwise might go in the trash, but my experience has been that quality photos come that way out of the camera with minor amounts of tweaking and "digital processing" needed. |

| If it works as advertised and those aren't just ideal examples it's going to kill a lot of work for people that do digital manipulation of images for a living both in good and bad ways. |

Seems progress over the eons has cut down labour exp by making any kind of process more efficient with automation...

That's one amazing feature if it really works how they say it does. Although, I do see imperfections in the grass after applying the content aware fill, and sure there will be a lot more visible imperfections once it's outside of a tiny, low-quality youtube video. But still, the benefits are huge even with some imperfections which can be cleaned up further. The pano example with the cloudy sky is truly amazing, but I think shooting it properly and cropping is a quicker and better way of doing it.
For those that say now every 10yo can be a great photographer, or that pictures must come out great straight out of the camera, are plain ignorant and incompetent to even say anything on this subject. Why on earth I would trust automatic camera settings to process my pictures? Most quality pictures are unique enough to require individual attention of a human being, or at least a better auto-post-process than cameras offer. If anyone really insists on great pics straight out of the camera, then they must turn off all in-camera processing by shooting in RAW...and then maybe they will realize how dumb they are. To be honest, Photoshop makes a bad photograher even worse. |
