I think that once you start editing a picture in a way that isn’t equivalent to just having different camera settings you aren’t capturing a moment anymore, at best you’re creating a new artwork which is fine but I don’t think it’s good to pretend to yourself or others that it’s actually what happened
- hn_throwaway_99 3y agoAgreed, but that is clearly not how Google is positioning "Magic Editor": "Magic Editor in Google Photos is a new experimental editing experience that uses generative AI to help you bring your photos in line with the essence of the moment you were trying to capture." Then here is the example video they show of a sample photo edit: https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod/original_videos/Best_Take.mp4 https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod/ori...
