great tutorial
Great tutorial Aaron PHLEARN PRO is the best! I’ve been Phleaning for years and I always learn something new! Aaron Nace is one of the best educators out there
There’s such a lot for the photography club and competition photographer to contemplate. Administrators, competition organizers and many artists themselves are pondering how to use AI for productivity without infringing the ethical intent of creating one’s own work of art. In the meantime, this tutorial has been very helpful for getting up to speed on where AI is right now. I suspect that you’ll need to do a lot more of them Aaron as we race headlong into wherever this is taking us.
Awesome! Great techniques. You opened new doors for me. Thanks!

Another great, easy to follow, tutorial. I was sceptical of Generative AI to begin with but to see how much it can be used in compositing is changing my mind.
