Algorithms and machine learning models are ready to retouch your photos, but how well do they work?
In the photo Tim Coy shows me, his future wife Veronica is facing away from the camera, gazing out at the waters around Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Her back, and the hair peeking out from under her hat, are lit in late afternoon gold, and the warm light of the moment gave the sea a welcoming, turquoise cast.Bay Area photographer
Coy isn’t alone here. I have more than a few photos that are very nearly great, apart from poorly timed passersby or stray objects I didn’t see the first time. And since the day Coy took that photo in 2016, editing tools powered by algorithms and machine learning models have made scrubbing these things out of pictures almost shockingly easy. In some cases, all it takes is a few taps on a screen, and at their best, these tools produce images that look pretty true to the moment.
Here’s how these tools work and how much you can expect to pay if you want to algorithmically touch up your own, almost-perfect photos. But first:There’s no way for you, me or a computer to know exactly what the bench Veronica was sitting on would look like without a backpack on it.
