Photographer Uses DALL-E 2 AI to Make a Blurry Photo Sharp
DALL-E 2, an artificial intelligence system that can create photo-realistic images based only on a brief description, has been used by a photographer to edit his photos and is able to make an out of focus image sharp.
Nicholas Sherlock, sent the images edited with DALL-E 2 to YouTuber Michael Widell, who was rightfully blown away with the technology’s capability and went so far as to ask if the capability would be the “death of photography.”
The images sent in by Sherlock show an out-of-focus ladybug that’s miraculously sharpened by OpenAI’s software. To fix the image, he erased the blurry area of the ladybug’s body and then gave a text prompt that reads “Ladybug on a leaf, focus stacked high-resolution macro photograph.”
This ingenious method is using DALL-E 2 for something that was not designed for but it could become a powerful and important tool for photographers.
