PDF is a widely used file format for sharing and storing documents due to the fact that it can maintain consistency in a layout across various devices. But PDFs don’t always look the way you need them to. Scanned files may have dark edges, presentation slides might export with distracting white borders, and multi-page documents can contain pages of different sizes. It’s not the end of the world, but it’s not very professional, either. And you want your digital documents to look clean and polished, right?
From the first daguerreotypes to film photography, and then digital image sensors, photography has come a long way since 1822 when it was invented. Now, we are witnessing another technological breakthrough – artificial intelligence. It helps professionals optimize their workflow and makes image editing more accessible to people who have little to no experience.
Say, you’ve filmed a great clip. Everything looks perfect… until you notice that in the background, there’s a person who didn’t give permission to appear on camera. Naturally, this is something you need to hide if you want to be ethically correct and avoid legal risks.
If the person is close to the edge of the frame, you can try to crop them out. But what if they are in the middle or constantly moving? Or maybe you just want to keep the composition intact? Then you have no other choice but to blur the person’s face in the video. It might seem like a complicated task. But it’s actually not.
We live in a world where you can feed a simple text prompt to a generator like Midjourney, DALL‑E, Stable Diffusion, or Adobe Firefly, and it’ll conjure up a rather realistic-looking image of a place, an event, and people that never existed. In fact, AI models are being constantly improved, and as a result, it’s getting more and more difficult to distinguish real from fake.
Have you ever downloaded an image from the Internet, uploaded a photo to social media, or taken a picture on your smartphone? If the answer is yes, there’s a high chance you’ve come across a JPEG file. In fact, you probably use JPEGs every day.
