Yet this terrible economic system you describe determines whether these people can afford food, rent and their children's education. Yeah it must be a meme.

Surely, there exists no other economic system where a percentage of the world's population is allowed access to food, rent and education for their children. And there certainly doesn't exist any where the entirety of the world population can be given access to these things.

You're talking about hypotheticals, I'm talking about reality.

Saying "these silly people are obsessed with their economic system, which is pointless!" makes no sense if those same people live or die by that system.

That's an interesting point. Retouching a photo after taking it used to be "manipulating reality", frowned upon by "real" photographers. Nowadays, postprocessing digital negatives and adding your own style to it is part of a normal photographer's workflow. (However, I think the negative feelings don't come from a discussion of "real vs fake" or "classical vs new", but mostly from the point of view that using artwork…

People have been doing post processing of photographs as long as photographs have existed.

Yes, but - at least in landscape photography - there was a divide between people using retouching to "fix" things (i.e. removing spots, making the colors more realistic, etc) and the people altering the style of the photo (e.g. by boosting or even shifting certain colors to achieve a certain look). The latter was viewed as fake by some people I knew. Today this is just part of your photography style.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ly6USRwTHe0 the video is mindblowing because on one hand, adobe photoshop announced this as "their own next big thing" and here we have an open source software replicating this same thing, so cool. edit: this also means photoshop doesnt have the "moat" they seem to have built around the generative ai thing and their software.

Thanks for linking the video. The GitHub screenshots are completely useless, because there are no before/after comparisons.

Krita support for generative inpainting has been around since the beginning of the Stable Diffusion craze. It was one of the first AI projects I saved. It definitely predates Photoshop adding it.

Off the top of my head, this plugin is from Nov 6, 2022, and I know there were others before this (or maybe it was just this shared in earlier form). https://github.com/sddebz/stable-diffusion-krita-plugin

Stable Diffusion heralded an explosion in generative AI that predated ChatGPT. Weird how OpenAI got all the credit when it was Stable Diffusion that first opened the gates.

Huh, I wasn't aware Krita was a thing. As a software engineer that rarely needs image editing Gimp was my go to software. Why there is a second open source image editing software now?

There are actually more than two.

Nah that is an early version of a plugin that uses A1111 as the backend instead of ComfyUI (it does have a newer and maintained replacement, but its not the one in OP, which uses a ComfyUI backend.)

Gimp has a notoriously unusable UI. I think that's honestly probably the main reason.

I'm actually more confused by the converse: why do people keep using and recommending Gimp when Krita has existed for decades and is so much easier to use?

Another video from the page showing pose editing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QDPEcVmdLI

That is absolutely amazing, but it is a shame it has to update the entire image on pose change, and you get a new background everytime.

Elsewhere in the video they limit changes to a specific region - I wonder if that works currently with the pose changes.

> AMD GPU: supported via DirectML, Windows only Uh... I'm not happy with this trend. Thankfully there is an option for using a ComfyUI, a torch based project as a backend.

That's not a trend that's basically the norm for generative ai and AMD is to blame for it not the devs.

It should not be. Torch and AMD has been a thing forever on Linux even before Windows. The underlying comfyUI supports it. In fact someone replied here it might have been a mistake.
