One day, she pulled up a picture of a galaxy in Photoshop and noticed some strange rays pointing out from its center. She’s classified galaxies, combed through pictures of insects on Zooniverse, and tried several other citizen science projects.

Who Are Stealing Images? – Ways To Protect Online Images Being ... (Intelligent Living)

Are you worried about images being stolen online? Find out what kind of image theft happens and how you can protect yourself from these illegal activities.

The engines will ask a few questions, and if you own the rights to the images, they will take action and take that content down from their engines within a few seconds. Most of the practical methods discussed in this article allow people to protect their data without their consent. The other option is to ask Google and other search engines to remove that particular content. However, there are multiple ways to limit the harmful use of that particular data. However, you can do it when you upload pictures on your websites. When you get a copyright license and point out that you have the license for a particular picture, no one will dare to use or even use your data without your consent. The first way is to hire a lawyer and send a legal notice. If someone is continuously uploading pictures that belong to you, it is essential to take some legal action against them. So, no one will buy it from you as they can buy it at a lower cost. If your creative work is for sale, don’t ever post pictures on platforms in the highest resolution available. However, as every search engine shows different results, it could be harder for you to know which is the best. The days are long gone when you were only allowed to find some data using text as input queries on search engines.

Can This Software Really Edit Thousands of Images Better Than a ... (Fstoppers)

All of us have spent hours editing a shoot or if you're like me, procrastinating editing that shoot. Spending less time editing and more time shooting is ...

Not only was it able to accurately edit images, but also replicate the individual style of each photographer. They were created from tens, if not hundreds of thousands of images edited by some of the most known photographers in the industry. But a preset is “dumb.” It will simply apply a look to your image, and it won’t consider the contents of that image. [Imagen](https://www.imagen-ai.com/?utm_source=FStoppers&utm_campaign=Article_Oct22&utm_content=BetterEdit), however, this is no longer an issue, as it can replicate whatever your style is and fix the image for you. Knowing that I already edited it myself, I was very interested in seeing how different it would be from what I did. Imagen is AI-enabled software that allows you to edit images with never-seen-before speed and reliability. To do this, I first took 5,000 images that I already edited and put them into one Lightroom catalog. This comes through in how I compose images, how I light, and ultimately, how I edit my work. The cost of such endeavors would simply be hard to justify. This is great if your images don’t change, but if you’re editing a wedding or an event where the setting changes all the time, a preset won’t be too helpful. The only preset you need to have to be a great photographer is your style. Spending less time editing and more time shooting is what most of us ultimately want.

Artist's AI images of much-missed icons are surprisingly moving (Creative Bloq)

From Freddie Mercury to Amy Winehouse, this is how late celebs might look today.

And on the image of River Phoenix with his brother Joaquín, one person wrote: "This one hits hard. One person commented on the image of Amy Winehouse: "It’s done so well she’s like not aged at all. He uses a multi-stage process employing several software programs to do it, including the AI-driven photo enhancer Remini and the popular photo editing tool Many people are amazed at the results of his process, but some question how realistically he's captured how old each star would look today. Not even worth it anymore to die young," someone else suggested. We've seen all kinds of incredible creative content produced using AI image generation in recent months, from photo-realistic portraits of people who don't exist to surreal genre mashups.

Google Distroless Images Achieve SLSA Level 2 (InfoQ.com)

Google announced that their distroless builds meet level 2 of the Supply chain Levels for Software Artifacts (SLSA). Level 2 requires that the build process ...

[Tekton Pipelines](https://github.com/tektoncd/) and [Tekton Chains](https://github.com/tektoncd/chains) in a [Google Kubernetes Engine](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine) (GKE) cluster to automate the building of images and provenance generation. [Aqua Security report](https://www.infoq.com/news/2022/01/aqua-security-supply-chain) found a 300% increase in supply chain attacks from 2020 to 2021. The recent [Google 2022 Accelerate State of DevOps report](https://www.infoq.com/news/2022/10/google-devops-2022/?itm_source=presentations_about_software-supply-chain&itm_medium=link&itm_campaign=software-supply-chain) focused its analysis on how organizations are securing their software supply chain. [Chainguard](https://www.chainguard.dev/) recently moved their undistro image, Wolfi, into [general availability](https://www.infoq.com/news/2022/09/wolfi-supply-chain/?itm_source=presentations_about_software-supply-chain&itm_medium=link&itm_campaign=software-supply-chain). A record of the provenance is also stored in the [rekor](https://github.com/sigstore/rekor) transparency log. Each time a PR is merged to the distroless [GitHub repo](https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless), the Tekton Pipeline is triggered building the image. Google previously released a [proof of concept GitHub Action](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/slsa-build-provenance-action-demo) that demonstrates producing provenance in compliance with SLSA level 1. Verifying the attestation for a distroless image can be done with cosign and the distroless public key: [busybox shell](https://busybox.net/)for debugging purposes. To achieve SLSA level 2 the team implemented a number of improvements related to the build pipeline for these distroless images. This improves on their [previous release](https://security.googleblog.com/2021/05/making-internet-more-secure-one-signed.html) which saw all images being signed with [cosign](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign). The smallest of the distroless images is less than 50% of the equivalent

Why Silicon Valley is so excited about awkward drawings done by ... (CNBC)

Why Silicon Valley is so excited about awkward drawings done by artificial intelligence ... Computer programs can now create never-before-seen images in seconds.

[Guides have popped up on Reddit and Discord](https://strikingloo.github.io/stable-diffusion-vs-dalle-2) describing tricks that people have discovered to dial in the kind of picture they want. Still, he warns that this moment in generative AI might end up being a "curiosity phase" closer to the peak of a hype cycle. [Lexica](https://lexica.art/?q=cdb52321-1abd-4809-8317-6ba971436401) catalogs Stable Diffusion images and the exact string of words that can be used to generate them. Some images generated by Stable Diffusion seem to have watermarks, suggesting that a part of the original datasets were copyrighted. Some investors are looking at generative AI as a potentially transformative platform shift, like the smartphone or the early days of the web. That has inspired users to tweak the program's code for their own purposes, or build on top of it. Artists tell him they use it in myriad ways that he couldn't have anticipated, such as animating Godzilla or creating pictures of Spider-Man in any pose the artist could imagine. "The impressive part, even for me, is that it's able to compose new stuff," said Boris Dayma, creator of the Craiyon generative AI. They usually have two main parts, one that processes the initial phrase, and the second that turns that data into an image. Deep learning uses models trained on large sets of data until the program understands relationships in that data. The VC firm predicts that generative AI could change every industry that requires humans to create original work, from gaming to advertising to law.
