The One-Eyed Ornithologist (Aviculus unoculus) inhabits the woodlands of North America, exhibiting a peculiar behavior of hosting nesting birds during their mating season. This solitary creature, notable for its grumpy disposition and affinity for vitamin supplements, adheres to a strict sleep schedule, retiring early in the evening and rising well before the break of dawn, aligning its habits with the avian species it shelters.

About a couple of weeks ago I discovered that apart from all the wonderful things that Generative Fill can do it can also take care of halos and smoothen edges. I’d been working on a composite when I happened upon a common problem: rough edges and halos. Let’s jump right into this and deliver on the headline and I’ll talk about the implications and my thoughts about Generative Fill afterward. Now, I’ll show you how to do it.

Music is a big part of my life and I'm always surprised by how little it's a part of others' lives when I come across those odd meetings and gatherings where the music is inappropriately absent from the scene. I'd rather be complaining after such an event that "the music sucked" than have to endure time-space without rhythm and melody.

I’ve had a few conversations with people who are dead set against artificial intelligence at the helm of artistic creation, and they’ve expressed the same things to me. Some of these people are in creative fields and should know better, in my opinion. But the same arguments and sentiments persist about AI and new trumpeters will likely continue to take up the cause against it. I’m not making my plea to critics, for the record. And frankly, I don’t care about their stances against it. They’ve already lost the debate if history is to be trusted. I’m making my case to artists now who may be espousing these arguments and sentiments without having the benefit of a sincere evaluation of AI.

The worlds of production and post-production are on a collision course like two orbiting black holes that first met one another in the deep seems of intergalactic space. This is called a binary black hole. Eventually, they will merge as one and become more terrifyingly beautiful. This is what should happen when the worlds of production and post-production meet: they should take the shape of something magnificent, an artistic vision.

There are flashier beaches in Mumbai but Versova Beach is my personal favorite for photography and for a walk. With a wide array of subjects, from local and Koli communities to horseback riders, vendors, and fellow visitors, it’s a beach continuous with activity. There are also the methi farmers in the southern portion of the beach and the current Coastal Highway construction that’s reshaping the beach and local environment for the foreseeable future.
