Can others edit my Photos
Photos NOT OK to edit
I like making composites for the grands and still make some from scratch. The AI tool is very helpful in getting a good starting off point. This one took a lot of finishing in PS. Just getting the first background image took about 25 tries and changing keywords. Finally got one that I could work with that fit my vision.

1. The starting off point with the AI background

2. The Final image

3. Layer panel. I merged into a new layer as I edited. Sometimes I do not do this step, but going into Nik filters the AI layers needed to be merged. AI was useful to swap out a building to trees.

You're shortlisted for TPF "AI Guru." I'm an agnostic on its use generally but ride the brakes a bit with photography. All for it widening your enjoyment and further development of a technique you're already good at.
Guess I keep in mind an image from an early digital days PopPhoto magazine: two silhouetted kangaroos admiring a sunset over Lake Titicaca.
Probably play with it during the dark months here on a portrait project.
 
Not bad. Looks a little like the stuff I do all day at work although 90% of mine is fixing old photos.
 
Saw this earlier, nice example of how AI can integrate with your work flow. I was surprised I didn't see any LUT's in your stack.

Best time to play in PS is the dark winter months. That is when I usually watch online classes.

Do you do any colorization of old photos?
Looks like you need a boat to get to work today with Schillers lake ;)

I use LUTs as a final layer occasionally. My go to is Nik's cross processing filters.

Interesting, I used Nik several years ago, didn't have any problems with it, just drifted away from it. Both LUT's & Nik require an understanding of how and when to use, so it becomes more a matter of use what you know.

Oh yeah, took an extra hour to get to work today (normal drive is 25 mins).

I colorize quite a bit. Here is one I retouched as BW and then colorized.......

Wow, good work.

There are some truly good aftermarket manuals and online tutorials for the orphaned Nik plug-ins. I run Elements and these on my travel/beater laptop--no complaints for mostly online purposes.
