That’s a fair point. A number of photographic occupations are equally constrained to ‘leave the captured images unaltered’.
As a commercial photographer I was often required to make the customers product look as good as possible….quite the opposite scenario …and a not insignificant challenge in some cases. Lol
One customer, who made stainless steel packaging machinery, required me to create brochures of their 10metre packing lines which were sitting on a factory floor (often still being worked on by employees) and to exclude the workshop benches, girlie calendars, racking, people, tools and electric cabling…not to mention ‘reglazing’ the Perspex guards/screens which were ‘see through’ … so as to retain their transparency!
The vast majority of the work to realise their needs was the digital editing of the original photos. Many hours work.
I would argue that such specific detailed alterations would be beyond AI in its current form.
Byway of an example I trawled through my old files.
in the early years I took the photos but as the young sons of the owner came into the business they wanted to take their own photographs (to save money).
This is the sort of photo they sent…
