@dim6@BenGeskin The fact that it is using real photos taken by a real lens but digitally altering it is, for me, the absolute same as the sharpening upscaling filter denoiser filter that has been used for years, fake over « « real » » so I really do find it interesting personally
@dim6@BenGeskin I do not agree with that because my argument resides more in the analog vs digital conservation of photos rather than the interpretation of light aspect. Digitally, there are hallucinations made by various algorithms, especially on phones and nobody bats an eye..
@desunyan2@dim6@BenGeskin Cameras, phones and everything that captures light digitally interprets the photons using compression algorithms and other stuff. It is already a fabrication.. so manipulating said data using other algorithms isn't that inappropriate tbh..
@dim6@BenGeskin A digital photo is no different than a fabrication, there is not really anything less real about what you see above. I am a photographer btw
