I'm an amateur photographer who loves to take pictures of just about anything. Over the years I have developed some skill at post processing my photos in various programs. Lately I have been working in some AI programs to generate photos that are not real. My girlfriend does this for work. I thought I would start incorporating real photos into the AI to give it some personality.

I found an old selfie that she sent me a few years back with just the right head tilt and expression. I think it turned out really good. Hope you all get a kick out of it.

Nice work.
Years ago when just editing photos was new, I scanned and edited my mother's genealogy photos (hundreds). It was a lot of fun. I think I started out with Corel Draw.

Lol, yes Corel Draw. So many years ago. I had no idea what I was doing.

That's a fantastic idea! Incorporating personal photos into AI-generated art adds a unique touch. I recently did something similar by blending a candid shot of my dog with some abstract AI art. The result was a quirky piece that now hangs in my living room. To showcase it, I uploaded the image to my digital picture frame (I use a Nixplay), so it rotates with other photos and always brings a smile to my face. It's a great way to blend personal memories with creative expression. Have you considered printing any of your AI-enhanced photos?

I think if I were a female I would be very flattered to be portrayed as a Warrior Princess.

About the closest I've gotten to photo art is making Valentine's Day cards.

Closest I get is manipulated art and photos;
Stickers for my electric golf cart business and sticker for my wife's firefighter support dog.
I used to do more when I had photoshop, but that's all gone now.... darn microsoft.

Nice!

In my opinion, (worth beans, I know), once you manipulate it, it is no longer a photo, but still art nonetheless. (y)

I'm still in the 'make the settings, push the button, see what you get' school of photography. 🙃

I'm impressed with some AI work, until it's passed off as "real", with out any disclaimer (esp the teeny tiny notations at the bottom of TV screens)...
