    This is already looking like a solid starting point! I find a lot beginners fall into the trap with over sharpening and making it to contrasty.

    With how dark the parts on the head of the bird I could see why you wouldn’t want to push the shadows too much but the shadows on the rest of the image could be brought down a bit more if that’s the look you would want to go for though.

    But that’s really the key point, how you want it to look and the overall feeling the image conveys. Making the creative choices and experimenting is going to help you find the right balance of colour correction and stylistic grade that will make your images pop.

    You are off to a great start already!

  • I thought AI was just like bad cgi I grew up with.

    This. To me this reads like Ai isn’t a problem just like bad CGI. Bad CGI still took human effort to make and didn’t destroy the environment to create. Ai is a toxic cesspool that is absolutely not just like bad CGI.

    That’s why it’s also important to understand and spread awareness of the technology and how it actually works and the things it affects vs only showing how to identify it.

    Op if you have issues with identifying Ai slop start with assuming anything that looks like bad CGI from back when is Ai, with the shiny skin, Pixar eyes and often perverse content.

    Here are some examples: https://youtu.be/w10ZHokfgek
