아웃페인팅으로 사진 프레임을 자연스럽게 확장하는 기능이 정말 유용했어요, 다만 배경 생성 예제가 조금 더 많았으면 했습니다.

Las técnicas de retoque con IA agilizaron muchísimo mi edición, sobre todo limpiar la piel sin que se vea artificial. Lo de expandir el encuadre con outpainting me sorprendió por lo bien que queda. Me hubiera gustado un poco más sobre fondos personalizados, pero en general muy recomendable para fotógrafos.

Давно хотела разобраться, как нейросети реально помогают в ретуши, и этот курс закрыл все вопросы. Больше всего понравился блок про удаление мелких дефектов кожи и волос — показывают на живых фотографиях, а не на идеальных примерах. Outpainting меня просто поразил: расширяешь кадр буквально одной подсказкой, и получается естественный фон без швов. Отдельно понравилось, как объясняют замену фона так, чтобы освещение совпадало с объектом съёмки. Материал подан последовательно, без лишней теории, сразу практика на реальных снимках. После курса я пересобрала весь свой рабочий процесс обработки фото.

Llevo años retocando fotos de forma manual y quería ver qué tanto podía ayudarme la inteligencia artificial en ese proceso. El módulo de retoque de piel y detalles pequeños me pareció el más útil, con trucos que apliqué de inmediato en fotos reales de clientes. La parte de outpainting, donde extiendes el encuadre original con IA, me sorprendió por lo natural que quedaba el resultado. También enseñan a generar y cambiar fondos completos sin que se note el montaje, algo que antes me tomaba mucho tiempo en Photoshop. Mi único pero es que un par de herramientas mencionadas requieren suscripciones aparte que no se aclaran del todo al inicio. Aun así, cambié bastante mi flujo de edición después de este curso.

الدورة علّمتني كيف أستخدم الذكاء الاصطناعي في تحسين الصور وتنظيف العيوب بسرعة أكبر من الفوتوشوب العادي. جزء توسيع الخلفية (outpainting) كان ممتعًا جدًا وفتح لي أفكارًا جديدة للتعديل. الشيء الوحيد أن بعض الأمثلة كانت تحتاج شرحًا أطول قليلاً.

Retuş kısmı harika, arka plan değiştirme biraz karışık.

Aprendí a cambiar fondos y hacer outpainting con IA de forma bastante rápida, aunque me hubiera gustado más práctica con retratos difíciles.
