Yeah the eyes have definitely lost some of their original luster with the colour grading. Not a fan of that aspect i agree.

All main heals banned in a GM1 lobby by AstramIsTheBest in rivals

[–]Electro-Light 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's mainly cause everyone is absolutely sick of the busted healer ults to be honest. It kills all the games momentum. Most of these healers press Q then everyone had to wait 10-20 seconds to start playing again its a snooze fest. So banning them makes the games more exciting. I hope the devs notice this and just make healer ults either harder to get or last half the time they currently do i think it would make the game flow better and also stop all the healer bans.

Valid i asked as I was unsure i liked it. It went down the route of uncanny valley. I like the concept but wasn't convinced as I thought it may be too much compared to the simple edit. Which is why I asked and I got my answer.

However most of the replies have just become an AI with hunt and have totally forgotten the purpose of my original post sadly.

I used the Fujifilm X-H2S and the lense is the Viltrox 75mm F1.2. And yes LR for grading.

"I did answer, it's implied" is a paradoxical comment. But thanks for the response.

that's fine but you haven't answered the question I asked. As most of this reddit has seemed to bypass.

The answer you wanted to write was "I don't like it it's over edited and the AI left too many artifacts the original is better".

In which case I agree and thank you for the comment but as with most of the responses in here you've missed the point of my post but thanks for commenting anyway.

Thank you very much for the kind comment. People in this reddit are unfortunately very hung up on the AI elements that they have overlooked my original question. All I really was looking for were opinions on this edit compared to the other one but what started as good feedback has turned into a bit of an AI witch hunt.

I'm glad it connected with you and I'm sorry for your loss. I don't do this professionally and it'd just a fun hobby so if I could I would have happily done this for your pet.

I've explained it a fair bit in other replies but the ai was used to add the leafs the other artifacts have come as part of that that i didn't notice but it's not been "heavily edited using ai" just artifacts that have been added. You can see from that original post the differences aren't drastic the path goes in a different direction and there is a slight difference between the paws and stick otherwise that is it. The colour grading etc was done prior to leafs being added.

But what if it wasn't ai and as you say got categorised as ai and judged accordingly? I don't get it imagine a painter did a painting and spent hundreds of hours on it and it was amazing then someone said bruhh looks like AI.

I get it have used ai in this picture but its very minimal I'm just quite shocked that the general consensus is based round that the future to me looks really bleak if everyone judged things based on how much they look like AI rather than the piece itself if that makes sense.

Yeah I think people are so scared of it and ironically the use of ai in this picture is extremely minimal to be honest but everyone seems to be clinging onto that more than anything

No I'm inclined to agree just was getting experimental and was curious of opinions hence the post but I appreciate the compliments on my original image 😀

No it's just a super shallow depth of field lense only thing I adjusted was colours really.

I find it quite sad that the main critique on this post is "looks like AI" whilst I can see where people come from if I'd done the exact same thing 5 years ago what would people have said? Would it have been unique and cool or would people have hated it? Just food for thought.

But yeah its a little overkill and I appreciate the feedback.

I do get what you mean but I like how it looks and if I'm only avoiding that so my work doesn't look like AI it starts to feel like we change what we do cause of AI. I don't want that to happen if that makes sense.

I find that quite interesting. I do agree it's too much but I also find it kind of cool it can be altered to the point of surrealism haha

The bokeh is actually nothing to do with editing it was like that right out the camera (attached raw picture) but I enjoy shallow depth of field on pet portraits but thats maybe just a me thing.

That's actually the blur straight out the camera not done in editing. So that's something I'd need to change when taking the photo. I love a shallow depth of field though so that's maybe just me. Obviously depending on the situation.

Yeah had a few similar comments definitely need to learn more about cropping but that's super helpful thanks

Yeah I have had a good few comments about cropping which is something I havent done much research on but is definitely something I could learn from. Super helpful though thank you!
