This happened one day in the window well outside my office. I got banned from r/pics for posting it.

Thanks for your meaningful, informed, and helpful contribution.
Of course it’s edited. Pro tip: every image is edited. Nothing anyone sees is raw from the sensor. It’s all completely arbitrary. Even people who shoot film show edited photos, they just offload the editing to the film lab. Someone else is doing the processing for them.
Even direct from a digital camera to jpeg, the camera is performing countless transformations and adjustment s before burning to jpeg. See film emulations on Fuji cameras for example.
The entire point of photography is to present to people a compelling vision that feels the way you did when you saw it.
That being said, this is basic curve and a vignette.
Bro got caught and is trying to say everything is edited.

I guess some people thought it was AI, but just a cool moment in my basement window well.
Edit: taken with my iPhone several years ago since that’s all I had with me when it happened so quickly.

Bro got caught and is trying to say everything is edited.
wrote last edited by [email protected]I mean even your sentence is edited. Nobody forms a true thought without altering it in their mind. Talking is the art of representing the thoughts and atoms in your brain in the way we want you to see it. Literally everything is a lie. So lying is always morally acceptable. /s

The atla upscale?
wrote last edited by [email protected]Yep.
It's not the best upscale TBH.
Hence I brought up redoing it with some of the same techniques (oldschool vapoursynth processing + manual pixel peeping) mixed with more modern deinterlacing and better models than Waifu2X. Maybe even a finetune? Ban.

I mean, it's basic settings in like every fucking phone for the last 15 years? Get over yourselves - you aren't judges at National Geographic photographer of the year, it's a neat pic dude wanted to share.
Let people share neat things.

It passed this test.

Right? It's a standard color pass. People acting like it has to be RAW/LOG to be real.

I’m a photographer and imaging specialist. I’ve built capture systems and processing pipelines and projectors. Literally nothing is raw. But do go on.

If reddit was a thing before Photoshop was around, I assume they'd block not only that too, but stuff like changing hue, exposure, etc.

the ai witchhunt gets a bit silly, sorry you got caught up in v it. very cool photo!
wrote last edited by [email protected]I don't think its silly at all, even tho I think this image is real I still applaud the zero tolerance rule enforcement.
The reason this got removed isn't that mods are powertripping, its because AI is such a menace. Place blame where it belongs.

I remember trying to warn people on Reddit that their anti-AI crusades were going to hurt real people making real art, especially surrealists, and got banned from a bunch of art subs for being “pro-AI” as a result. Actually, they phrased it in far more hurtful and inflammatory ways, like “advocating theft.” Apparently caring about not hurting real human beings making real human art is “advocating theft.”
I don’t miss Reddit. That place was bad for my mental health.
P.S. This photo is beautiful and I’m happy you had a mind to capture it and share it. Thank you.
Nah fuck AI, this shit wouldn't be happening if people routinely respected the rule so we could establish trust and benefit of doubt.

raw should be the default phones take

I'm coming!
We trained him wrong on purpose, as a joke.

Hard dissent. First, Ban content not users. But even if you are banning users, just a quick detour through OPs history would have been enough to see it as a legit account, with a human behind it.. Plus, the picture surely has proving metadata, and detailed pixels.

You go that way. I'll go home.

So you don't have the original anymore?

wrote last edited by [email protected]I wish being a legit account headed by a real person were enough to guarantee AI won't be posted, but Lemmy is a testament against that.
