A Value-Oriented Investigation of Photoshop's Generative Fill
The creative industry is both concerned and enthusiastic about how generative AI will reshape creativity. How might these tools interact with the workflow values of creative artists? In this paper, we adopt a value-sensitive design framework to examine how generative AI, particularly Photoshop's Generative Fill (GF), helps or hinders creative professionals' values. We obtained 566 unique posts about GF from online forums for creative professionals who use Photoshop in their current work practic…

Twenty years ago, worried about how Photoshop could be used to lie, I published a blog piece called “Photointegrity”. Yesterday I published another one with the same title: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2024/04/29/Photointegrity

As a Mac user, I’d ditched Lightroom and Photoshop years ago (like ten years ago?) but I have to admit I can never tell Pixelmator or Photometer apart. Are they the same company? Same app? Different? And I can never remember the name, I’m like “Photo... something?"

Adobe adds AI tools to Photoshop powered by its new Firefly Image 3 model, including Reference Image to inspire the AI's output, available in beta on desktop (Jess Weatherbed/The Verge)

Adobe’s new Firefly model makes it easier to use Photoshop’s AI tools
Adobe is adding some new generative AI tools to its Photoshop creative software that aim to give users additional ways to control the designs they generate.

What an incredible photo. Nowadays I suspect Photoshop or AI (which is unfortunate) but this one is legit. It's on the photographer's Facebook page.

Con Cider, cada vez que abría Photoshop, se me corrompía el interfaz. Muchas casualidades ya que a pesar de usar otros programas mucho mšs demandantes (de Adobe o no), es siempre abrir Photoshop lo que provoca “cosas”.

I changed the boot logo of my LenOwO Laptop to this, you can find the .bmp and Photoshop file here.

Deutsche Umwelthilfe e.V.: SUV zerstören unsere Städte
Wir brauchen jetzt eine ehrliche Verkehrswende, damit alle Menschen Saubere Luft atmen können und unsere Städte wieder lebenswert werden. Monster-SUV bedrohen Fahrradfahrer und Fußgänger, vergiften mit ihren Abgasen die Atemluft und tragen mit ihren hohen CO2-Emissionen zur Klimakatastrophe bei.

Detalle importante: se trata de Photoshop original.

In which I discover that, in 2024, you can copy a complex lines-and-shapes object out of Omnigraffle and drop it into Photoshop and it mostly works, enough to be useful.

und niemand fragt sich, warum diese kack-königs-firma einem an krebs erkrankten mitglied auch noch diese photoshop-entschuldigung abgerungen hat.
hauptsache, die frei haus gelieferte story wird raumgreifend ausgeschlachtet ... wie vielen 'königshausberichterstatter*innen' wurde wohl gerade der osterurlaub gecancelt?
aber mit sowas hält das verwahrloste brexitland seine verarmten massen auf linie.
und die westliche klatschpresse den rest.

Kate looks fine in her cancer video, they really should have put that out a week ago and avoided the whole photoshop fiasco.

Well, yet another productive day. I launched Adobe Photoshop.
And that's about it.

Photoshop is too powerful

"See you next Tuesday", he says.
"People say I look like Elvis", he says.
I give you Donald Dork.

ION has these #NWSL logos that look quilted or Photoshop embossed.

You people know James Fridman, right? The dude that has been making photoshop touchups that are always exactly what people ask, even if they don't think they are? For ages now?
OK.
He's on video now. With Taylor Tomlinson.
Somehow the YT gods thought I might like to see this. Thanks YT gods. I did.

Oopsie from the past.
Time-Warner had a news website called Pathfinder. In those days, if you wanted to create an interesting web presentation you probably did it in Photoshop and imagemapped all the clickable items. With the verdict upcoming, presumably two versions of this page were prepared ... and in the heat of the moment, someone pushed the wrong image to production.
OJ was not found guilty.

Why the Kate Middleton scandal just won’t die
The royal family has to be visible and beloved in order to continue existing. Kate Middleton has vanished. Now, a bad Photoshop job is threatening the monarchy.

Kind of bizarre how many lengthy discussions over AI creations would be no brainers if you just substitute PhotoShop for AI in the topic.

God, Krita's Freehand Path Tool (aka Lasso Tool) with the auto fill colour option on, is just so nice for blocking out shapes for an illustration.
Photoshop wishes it could do this with such ease.

A photo by Paul Hiller. I can sort of imagine the photoshop (or similar software) process of making the colours so flat and unreal like this, but only sort of. Apparently he shoots in analogue. 🤪 More of his work on this website -> https://www.itsnicethat.com/articles/paul-

Paul Hiller’s bittersweet photographs document the ultimate form of escapism
For the past 12 years, the German photographer has been visiting amusement parks around the world, from the famous to the obscure, steadily capturing syrupy scenes in these parks. As “a preservation of an older time,” he tells us about the parks that have closed since and new ones that he finds.

OK honest question why the hell do people use weird AI generated looking pictures of themselves that look like bad 90s Photoshop filters here? I mean…just pick any cool image, that's fine. Why creep people out? I get that as an artist I'm lucky. I can draw my own self portrait and like it enough to use it, but you don't have to illustrate your avatar! Use a photo or use an image of something else.

@… Now playing with bitmapfilter’s Photoshop-like channel ops to give a nice fade-to-black for evolving spirograph-like shapes. I love how it looks like blossoming flowers sometimes. These whole-screen updates really highlight how fast the 8-bit parallel displays are on these Lilygo boards.

Whenever I hear about people say "I can put a 6m monitor in front of me." I keep thinking that this is what they'd do.

First paid commission on Affinity Publisher 2 completed 🙂 It's the Bulgarian translation by Sony Boghosyan of "movimento" by Portuguese poet João Luís Barreto Guimarães.
At this point, I am mostly happy with Affinity suite's capabilities compared to Adobe's InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop. It get's the job done. And it doesn't cost me an arm and a leg. After all, that's what Microsoft 365's job is 🍺

You know what’s a really great feeling? When you fat-finger some precious data out of existence (in this case, merged a bunch of Photoshop layers without noticing then saved the file) and restoring from your neglected-for-years-at-a-time backup system Just Works. (ArqBackup BTW.)
