This is really, really cool technically, but I’m not at all sure how I feel about it ethically or artistically.

Left a comment on lj and then realised you wouldn’t see it there. :P

“Wow. I think the most interesting use was how simple it was to remove someone from a picture. Like the five people on a beach becomming three.”

Heh, yeah. I guess I should check lj now and again anyway.

And yeah, I know! Of course, once this gets to be common (and it probably will be–I think Adobe just hired the guy who invented it, so it’ll probably be in Photoshop before too long), photographs won’t be good evidence of anything anymore. Not that good photo manipulators can’t already do whatever they want to make photos show whatever they want, but this’ll make it so much easier, anybody can do it.

I only just left it today though so not to worry. I’ve just been catching up on everything now that I have internet access again. :)

Yes, I remember editing someone out of a picture for an icon and it took a very long time. This looks so easy. You could remove all evidence of you ever knowing someone from pictures!
