You’ll acquire a comprehensive understanding of key phrases, photographic terms, and a wide array of keywords, each capable of generating unique images.

The creative potential is immense, whether you’re interested in producing realistic looking AI photography, digital paintings, enhancing photographs, or even blending various images. As AI technology continues to advance, gaining a solid understanding now will put you in an advantageous position for the future of AI-assisted image creation.

We will also use the natural language processing tool, Chat GPT, that is driven by AI technology, to help with image prompts which can help immensely in creating your vision and can also create good looking AI images!

Additionally, you’ll learn how to draw inspiration from existing images and use that to create unique art that echoes your personal vision. The creations you produce are entirely your own, limited only by your imagination.

Some of the new innovative AI features like the ‘Remove’ tool that’s astonishingly effective and the much-appreciated ‘Denoise’ slider in Raw, both demonstrate how Photoshop is truly revolutionizing the field of post processing.

However, the real game-changer lies in the ‘Generative Fill’ function, now powered by AI technology – the capabilities of this tool are simply astounding! Gen fill has changed my workflow immensly on my images and we will look at some cool examples of it.
