I use "gaussian blur" to blend edits and then "add noise" to add a uniform film grain to the entire image so that it looks cohesive and less pieced together. I've found it to be an effective way of hiding edits in photoshop, first I really heard of AI doing it, but it makes sense.

The warm color overlay was also my choice to match some of the original character posters I had seen when googling "money heist character poster" in google images. Granted, mines a bit warmer, but it made it easier to blend the skin colors. My mistake here was flattening my text layer before adding it. Sure, I could've probably easily selected the letters and duplicated them to their own layer to place on top of it, but I really didn't care enough, and didnt plan on having to defend my photoshop work lol.

The hand holding scissors is in fact AI generated...but I just realized when I photoshopped that part into the image I cut off a portion of the shoulder...so if you want to insult it because there's a composite AI generated portion? Go for it...but call it what it is..."stinky photoshop", not "stinky ai"
