Sony app to edit photos with Dall-E 2

Dall-E 2 still at the center of creative projects with an interesting app project to be installed on Sony mirrorless cameras to take advantage of artificial intelligence to immediately modify the photos just taken with alternative variants in the name of the imagination. The freely usable open source software is called Quantum Mirror and was packaged by a photographer named Nicholas Sherlock, who has been exploring the potential of a.i for some time. in the photographic field.

We had already told you a few weeks ago how Sherlock had demonstrated how Dall-E 2 could be considered a phenomenal Photoshop-like tool to modify photos effectively by recreating landscapes, subjects and situations in a credible way and realistic. His new "fatigue" is an application that can be downloaded freely from Github and installed on Sony's mirrorless cameras - for now the older models such as A7, A7R, A7 II, A7R II - to open a new photographic horizon. How does Quantum Mirror work? You take a normal photo, then the artificial intelligence will act by generating five proposals by modifying for example some details, the lighting conditions, but also the shot itself: in short, you will get alternative points of view packaged by Dall-E 2 which will draw from the web archives to reformulate the photographs just taken, in a few seconds.

This project is still in its infancy and in fact it can create some conflict with the test versions of Dall-E 2 that are being released to those who have booked (this is how much the service costs), but it will become more stable and effective once the bees have spread. Artificial intelligences such as Dall-E 2 will certainly find more and more space in the photographic field, for example by helping to improve the composition in post-production, as well as providing a performing tool for even the most extreme changes using text commands (and, who knows, also vocal?) instead of having to act with the mouse on values ​​and manual edits.
