Farewell Photoshop? Google’s new AI lets you edit images by asking.

Gemini 2.0 Flash can add objects, remove objects, modify scenery, change lighting, attempt to change image angles, zoom in or out, and perform other transformations—all to varying levels of success depending on the subject matter, style, and image in question.

So, what exactly can Gemini 2.0 Flash do? Notably, its support for conversational image editing allows users to iteratively refine images through natural language dialogue across multiple successive prompts. You can talk to it and tell it what you want to add, remove, or change. It’s imperfect, but it’s the beginning of a new type of native image editing capability in the tech world.

We tried removing a watermark from a Getty Images image, and it worked, although the resulting image is nowhere near the resolution or detail quality of the original. Ultimately, if your brain can picture what an image is like without a watermark, so can an AI model. It fills in the watermark space with the most plausible result based on its training data.

vaxvms I think PS will be safe for a while. Here’s an excerpt from a Kim Komando newsletter giving her results.

Hue here among us can Saturate me: Google’s new Gemini AI Flash 2.0 Experimental mode lets you edit images by simply asking. Want to add or delete objects, change scenery or zoom in and out? Just type it in, and boom, done. Don’t worry, Photoshoppers, you get to keep your job for a while. I used it to create an image of me, on a dolphin, in Hawaii at the end.

I’m highly bothered by AI, or the idea of using it.

1 It steals information hard won by website makers
2 It rips off music
3 It rips off visual arts
4 It creates deep fakes which is very dangerous, Russia and China have used it to control our electronics and make us more divided as a nation. The idea is if we are busy fighting, they can use a trogjan horse and get us. They are trying.

Sadly, the USA has to work harder and better fund AI efforts, much as I despise AI.

We don’t do these things because they are easy, but because they are hard -JFK

AI has been digging through my website and getting as much info from it to use as it can and it pisses me off.
