Hello, I just posted in the Completed Figures forum the pictures of my latest work Knight XIVc by Pegaso Models .
Referring to this, in this post I wanted to share with you an experiment I did while I was processing the pictures I took to the figurine.
My typical workflow includes the following steps: shooting (of course...) in RAW, processing of RAW file, conversion into JPG and resize the JPG for web publishing.
To process RAW images, I recently started woking with the program Luminar Neo AI by Skylum
Differently from other photo processing programs, Luminar New makes and extensive use of AI algorithms to process the images and build specific effects.
Some effects are common like sharpening and noise reduction, but there are other that are more sophisticated. One of them is called "upscale" which improves the resolution of the image, but it's one option to improve the face details.
Now, in general, in my photo processing approach I only use minor corrections since a faithful representation is key to me and the photos in the referenced post are of this type.
Just for testing, I decided to click the option of improve the face and... I was really shocked by the outcome. Take a look at the attached photo. To me it's incredible, the AI algorithm also created the bard hairs!
Of course this image is fake and I would never use for publishing, but I wanted to share with you this finding.
