Oh God. It's the Rise of the Photoshop Machines!
Nerds everywhere are losing their minds over the sneak peek of the Photoshop "Content-Aware Fill" and SO AM I. Basically all the comments on the demo video are like "WHA?" and "OH NOW I'M OUT OF A JOB THANKS." Just think what this new technology will do to magazine cover models!
I am losing my mind over this, too. Can we all lose our minds together? And our jobs. But mostly our minds.
Is it April Fools' Day? No, it's too early!
I KNOW RIGHT?
omg…there goes my super important job of being cajoled into retouching friends photos before they go on facebook. What will I do?
Yeesh, I am glad I didn't waste my time is art school acquiring technical skills.
Correct, sir.
What he said. I still have a creative brain, there isn't a Photoshop filter for that…yet.
This is certainly true, but "OH NOW I'M OUT OF A JOB THANKS" is a fair reaction to any news, thanks to the Great Recession Exemption.
Also, seriously? Now when someone says "four of these people have quit and five new ones have joined but we're too lazy to take a new group pic so just photoshop the one from three years ago" I can say "fuck off do it yourself." The THANKS for being out of that job is totally sincere.
I am so glad that I will never ever have to do this shit again. The robot can handle it and leave me to designing. PRAISE JESUS
This work has been bubbling around in the computer graphics research world for years now, and I'm glad it's finally making it to the light of day. This same technique has also been done for video, so keep a spare pair of socks to be blown off by THAT in a few years by Apple or Avid or whomever.
sweet jesus of the future! i knew my photography major was useless, but this is just absurd.
It only took six years to do something interesting with this?
One of the interesting conspiracy theories going around at the time was that aside from the Treasury asking for this (they do the same for color copiers), Adobe was so pliant because they could monetize it by selling access to the tech to companies looking to protect brands/marks. As in, Starbucks would pay $XXX and then you could never scan or manipulate their logo in Photoshop.
I want it I want it I want it. Even more, though, I want the equivalent for writing.
I fear the leap to discontent awareness.
I'm still working on my program that will automatically fill in comment fields, so why don't you just go back to France no homo first! omg id hit that.
Hahahaha, well done, guv'na. You forgot something about Nazi German Hitler, though.
I'm just glad laptops don't have legs, I'm sure this would be their "in" for total domination.
Can you buy chemicals to develop your own film at this photshop? Do they accept checks?
"Sure enough, we've got a little bit a flare coming off the sun there, but we can patch that up."
The video, it taunts me.
The flares off the sun, they taunt me.
I'm personally psyched about never having to pay to use a Getty image ever again.
How much computing power do you think they are using? What takes the product manager 10-15 seconds might take most people a lot longer than that.
On the bright side, now we all need newer, faster computers with a lot more memory.
And yes, that is a pretty incredible demo!
I can't believe nobody has said this yet, Dude this is fake its been photo-chopped, oh wait it really was.
This is very nice, a supreme time saver. Lets hope it will work that easily with "real world" shots, not just the ones picked for the demo
I call shenanigans. I've come to learn that when something seems a bit too good to be true, it usually is. Yes, they had me drooling in awe all over my computer screen with the first example, but by the time they got to the sky panorama, the wonder wore off. I can't see how the program could possibly fabricate the rest of the image, creating the clouds that match perfectly and the rest of the skyline. Maybe I'm a skeptic, but I'm smelling some tom foolery…
