Hacking Photography - one Picture at a time
We’ve already seen some cases of AI being biased towards lighter skin tones. But Google wants to turn it around and it’s now using an alternative, more inclusive skin tone scale.
Teaming up with a Harvard professor, Google is using and open-sourcing the Monk Skin Tone (MST) Scale. It’s more inclusive than the current tech-industry standard, making various skin tones included in search results.
Pinterest has just rolled out a new, AI-powered feature that lets you browse through beauty images by skin tone ranges. Visiting Pinterest is one of the handy ways to get inspired, so this new feature might be useful for beauty, portrait and fashion photographers looking for some creativity boost.
Everyone loves a good look. Lightroom makes it really easy to apply looks with presets, but if you want your look inside Photoshop, you are looking at one of two options: Apply a look in lightroom after the final export or take the time and effort to apply the look in Photoshop. Sadly, what only takes a click or two in Lightroom is world of pain in Photoshop.*
But Photoshop as a very powerful tool call Look Up Tables (or LUT for short – here is our collection) that you can apply as an adjustment layer. Those LUTs are similar to presets in the sense that they apply a look. But they are far stronger because unlike presets, they almost cause no quality loss.
