1. Introduction to AI in Photography !: Hello, everyone. Welcome to discourse on artificial intelligence photography. Boost your images and workflow in 30 minutes. I'm thrilled to have you here. You might have been hearing a lot of buzz about AI these days. And perhaps, like many of you are wondering, is AI here to replace photographers, let me put your mind at ease right away. Absolutely not. Think of AI, not as a competitor, but as your new incredibly powerful assistant. It is here to empower you to unlock your new creative avenues and to streamline those time consuming tasks so that you can focus on what you love the most, capturing incredible images and telling compelling stories. In this course, we are going to demystify artificial intelligence. We'll explore practical tools that can enhance your images, speed up your workflow, and even spark a new creative ideas. By the end of this course, you'll feel confident and excited about integrating AI into your photography journey. So let us start this course. And I welcome you on board. 2. What you should care about AI in Photography ?: Now this video, let us ask this question. Why should you really care about AI in photography? Well, now that we know what AI is, let us get to the most important concept. Why should you, the photographer care about it? Well, the answer comes to three powerful benefits. First, it saves your time. Second, it enhances the quality. And the third, it gives you more creative ideas. So if we talk about time saving, imagine having a super fast assistant for your most repetitive task. Now, ARI can dramatically cut down on post processing time from noise reduction to complex elections, more time behind the lenses, less time behind the screen. Also, it enhances the quality. AI can do things that are incredibly difficult or impossible for human hands to replicate perfectly. Think about sharpening a slightly soft image, reducing the distraction noise from high ISO shot or even upscaling a small photo for a large print without losing detail. A I can elevate your images to the new levels of polish. F is the creative avenues. Now, this is perhaps the most exciting part. AI opens the doors to creative possibilities we couldn't have dreamed few years ago. Now, if you want to remove a distracting background in seconds, now you can do that with the help of AI. If you need to seamlessly add an element to your scene, you can do that. AI tools are making these once complex manipulations accessible to everyone, empowering you to tell your visual stories with unprecedented freedom. Selena's Bast one more myth. AI is a tool, not a replacement for your artistic eye. Well, I think AI is like a brush for a painter or a hammer for a sculpture. It gives you more power and precision. But you're still the artist, the visionary, the one with a unique perspective that makes photography truly yours. AI simply helps you to bring that vision to life more efficiently. 3. How to use AI in Photography ?: Going to use artificial intelligence to see what things we can do with the image. Now let's suppose you have an image which you want to edit with the help of AI. Now, what are different types of editing that you can do with the help of AI. I'm going to use a platform called Fotor which has a lot of AI tools to enhance your image. So let me first upload an image. Let me take this image, and here it is. Let me first try one tap enhance. Now, what will this feature or do? Now this feature will optimize the image and make it better. So once I click on AI tap hands, just look the difference it makes to the picture. It has make it much brighter, throw more light on it, and it's looking visually more appealing. Now, if I want to increase the pixel, or if I want to make the picture more detail, I can click on AI upscale. Now, this will upscale the photo. To a high quality from 1024 pixels to 2048 pixels. Now, this is just with the help of AI. I can just imagine a simple picture clicked on a simple camera phone can enhance to a level wherein it can show gravity for a DSLR camera. This is the beauty of artificial intelligence. I just see the difference. This is before and this is after. And if I drag it here, this picture has more pixels. I'll just click on Apply and just look at this picture. This has become much more beautiful. The pixel size has increased. Now, let me try and with the help of A, I remove this globe, which I think is not looking good in this, uh Photo. So I'll take just example. I'll click on Magic eraser, remove image part with quick select for brush. So you just need to do the brush on the object that you want to remove and just click on remove. This is going to remove the globe from the picture. How beautiful is that? This is the power of AI. It's gone. It's really go and just click on apply. So the globe which you are seeing is no more there. Now, if you want to remove the background and you want to place another background there, you have the option to do that. Let me remove the background with the help of AI. So I'll click on background remover, and this will remove the background with Auto for quick erase. So this is how it does. Let us see how Photo is removing the background. Oh, wonderful. So now you have a completely different type of background. So whatever was there, has now changed. You can change the bathroom. You can make it a simple plain color, see how it works. So I'm changing the bathroom to a different color. So let me do that. So bathroom remove I already done, and this is how it looks. So you can remove the background of any image and make it look as if it was marred like this before. So let me get to the original picture. So this is a very important feature, which your AI 4. How to use AI in Photography 2 ?: This video, let us learn more features of AI, which can help you make your photography much better. We've already learned how to enhance your photo, how to upscale it to a much bigger pixel, how to magically raise a particular object from your photo, how to remove the background from the photo. Now, we also have the feature of blurring an image, a portate which you want the image to be blurred. Let me try this. I'll click on face and blur. And if there is any unblurring it will make it more clear. This is the feature of AI which you can use. It is automatically removing any blur which was there on the face. Also, you can enhance this skin color with the help of AI just click once and your photo will have a better skin tone. So you can just see how that will make the difference, the skin toll is getting much fairer. So these are the things which you can do with the help of AI. A, these days, you can click and make your image to a video. So if I have to do that, I'll have to go to a different software altogether. So we see if it is able to do that, let me generate a video out of photo, just a photo. And with the help of AI, you will be able to have a small animated version of your photo. Now, this is, again, with the help of AI, what you can do and how you can change the way you look at things. Now, this was only possible earlier, but now with the help of artificial intelligence, you have the power to, in fact, change and modify your image. You are afraid you fire. This was not possible earlier, but with the advancement of technology and artificial intelligence, such as Chat GPT, Dali FO, Gemini, and other artificial intelligence softwares, you have a great opportunity to enhance your images and in fact, turn your images into videos. So let us see how much time it takes and what is the end result. And if you are able to do that, I'm sure this would be something which you would have never expected. So with the help of Area, you are not only doing basics of everything, but you're also at last let's see the result. Let me click this. Oh, wow, this image is now moving like a video animation. This is simply brilliant. Can also download this and you 5. Advance use of AI in photography !: How with the help of artificial intelligence, with the help of hat GPT, you can create an image with a prompt. So let me just show you how it is done. Now, let's suppose we have a course titled AI for photography, and we want a good image to represent this course. So what I will do, I will give a command or a prompt to Chat GPT, create a ROM to generate an image for the core title EI for photography. I'll give this prompt to Chad GPT and let us see what kind of prompt it gives. So this is the prompt where Cha GPT has given to me. I can use this prompt and can generate an image in Cha GPT, as well. So let me just copy it and paste it. And let me see what kind of image ChaGPT is going to give me. To show and represent my course. So this feature usually takes some amount of time, but the image and its quality is there for you to see. So I'm using hat GPT to generate a prom, use that prom to create an image to represent or to showcase my course. So Chat GPT is creating the image for me. I'm going to use another software to show you how you can use and create images for your courses or any type of image which you want to create. You just need to generate a prompt with the help of AI that is any of the AI softwares, and you will get this ability to create image for your prompt. Let me try. By the time this image gets generated, I think it's coming up. Let's wait for some time and see how it actually looks. Then I'll show you some more apps or websites where you can go and generate beautiful pictures on any kind of prompt you want. Now, this was not possible earlier, but because of AI, you can generate photos with the help of a click of a button to showcase anything that you want to show. Just look at this how beautiful this image is looking. This is best to showcase our course you can download this photo and you can keep it with you for your representation of this course. Just with one click, you have generated the prompt and you're able to get the picture. Now, let me copy this prompt and use it on another software. Let me try and make it through a I use Google AI Studio. There are versions wherein you can generate media. Let me try imagine and see what kind of image this generates. Let me get the aspect ratio. I'll click on Run and see how and what kind of image does Google AI Studio with the same prompt which I generated from CHAPT is helping me create. Wow, wonderful. This is absolutely brilliant. A beautiful picture representing my course. So this is how you can do it with Google AI studio. Let me try another Sompre which is Idiogram Let me give the same prompto and see how it generates Uh, the videos, this is just for the sake of showing you how advanced AI has become. Just for the help of prompt, you are able to get beautiful pictures. Just look at the quality of these pictures and how well they represent what you actually want to show it to the people. You can click on Download and you can use this photom for your personal use. 6. What is AI in photography ?: Now let me talk about what exactly is AI in photography. Well, let me break down this often misunderstood term artificial intelligence. Now, please don't let the name AI intimidate you. At its core, AI in photography is simply about teaching computers to see and understand images in a way that mimics human intelligence. It basically enhances your workflow, making the process of capturing the photography easy and simple. Imagine teaching a child to recognize a cat. You show them hundreds of pictures of different cats, fluffy cats, sleek cats, big cats, and small cats. Eventually, they will learn what makes a cat a cat. That's essentially what we do with AI. But on a massive scale, we feed computers millions of images that is called beta, and they use complex algorithms to learn the patterns. But this process is often referred to as machine learning. Or when the patterns are very complex, deep learning. So how does this apply to your camera? Well, you might be surprised to learn that AII isn't some futuristic concept. It's already been living inside your cameras and smartphones for years. For example, you must have Look, a particular feature of a camera which is autofocus. Remember when the cameras struggle to focus on the fast moving subjects, modern autofocus system uses AI to instantly identify and track faces, eyes, and even animals. It is learn what a face looks like and how it moves, allowing your camera to stick to the subject like a glue. So you have been using autofocus for quite a long time. Another example if I give you, there is a feature in your camera called FacionRcognition, and C modes where your smartphone camera often automatically detects a port freight and blurs the background. Or it recognizes the landscape and it jabs colors. Now, this is AI in action. It has learned to identify these elements and apply the optimal settings, saving you precious time. So isn't AI about fancy new apps? Well, it is invisible assistant making your current tools in photography smart 7. Ethics in AI !: Now, let me talk about another very important aspect, which is ethical consideration in the human touch. Now, with great power comes great responsibility. As AI becomes more integrated, it brings important ethical questions at the front. First, authenticity and manipulation. When an image can be entirely generated by AI, what does authentic photography mean? Well, for photojournalism or documentary photography, transparency is paramount. So for artistic photography, the lines are blur, but disclosing AI use might become a standard expectations. So we need as a community, as a photographer, if you're using AI to accept it and declare it upfront that this image has been used and created with the help of AI. Also, there would be issues of copyright and ownership if an AI generates an image, who owns it, the person who wrote the prom, the company that built the AI or the artist whose work was used to train the AI. Well, laws are still evolving globally, but generally in many jurisdictions. Purely AI generated content without significant human creative input may not be copyrightable. So this is an ongoing debate. Also AI models learn from data they have fit. I Beta is biased or has certain type of preference, you might get a desirable output as such. So as creators, we have a responsibility to be aware of these potential biases and strive for diverse and inclusive representation of our work. Ultimately, AI is a tool. It is your artistic integrity, your vision, and your ethical compassion, which truly defines your work. The human touch, your unique perspective, emotions, and storytelling ability is something AI cannot replicate. This is your superpower. 8. Future of AI !: On this video, we are going to learn how AI is going from being an enhancer to a creator. Now, we are talking about generative AI, which is specifically text to image AI. Instead of analyzing an existing photo, these tools create entirely a new image from scratch based on a simple text description known as prompt. Imagine telling the computer generate an image of a majestic lion wearing a top hat, sipping tea in Victorian library, and moments later, you get it there. Absolutely. Out of shock and admiration, you will see that particular image. So how it works? Well, these AI models like Med Journey and Dal E, Chad GPT, they have been trained on truly enormous data sets of images, and their corresponding text descriptions. Now, they learn the relationship between the words and the visual concept. So when you give them a prompt, they understand the concept and generate pixels to match, often creating surprisingly coherent and imaginative visuals. So the power of prompt engineering is what will give you a good AI generated image. So it depends upon the clarity and the detail of your prompt. And the beauty is that you can generate the prom from AI itself. You don't have to use much of your brain and just let the AI do everything for you. So how as a photographer, you can use this? Well, it's not about replacing your camera but expanding your creative toolkit. You can have more options. Give more to your photos, and if possible, without even using a camera, you can generate what your client would want. So this is something which is very, very important to understand.
