Photoshop is still a manual process. You needed a skilled person to create the manipulation. Unlike a computer where you only need to feed it a picture and you get an output in minutes.
- badRNG 6y ago>Photoshop is still a manual process. You needed a skilled person to create the manipulation. Does that matter? If I am looking to produce images that might have a devastating political impact to opponents the consequences aren't about how fast one can produce them, but how low the bar to entry is for one to produce a doctored image. Photoshop, and tools like it, gave the public at large the capability to develop doctored images. Deepfakes seem to do the same thing that Photoshop did: lower the bar to entry for doctoring videos. You don't need tens of thousands of dollars and a large production team to create a fake video now.
