Trying out the Affinity 2 Beta, which has NPU support for a couple new plugins. The object selector is CRAZY fast...

@[email protected] very impressive, and very scary for any graphic design or former guru's who can now see their art/skills diminished and undervalued with every iteration of these programs.
@Overlander_[email protected] Naw. Subject selection has always been a tedious chore. No one's artistic skills are being challenged in the market JUST because we can identify a subject and draw a border around it a little faster. ๐
@[email protected] Yet ๐ซฃ
But I take your point ๐
@Overlander_[email protected] Oh I'm with you on generative AI slop, but I will admit to enjoying the output of NPUs since the Huawei Kirin chips back in the day.
THat's how we got cameras that could identify subjects, then later we got Sony's amazing eye tracking autofocus, and now subject detection in photo editing apps.
That kind of on-device practical NPU performance is really interesting.
Making soulless "art" out of prompts? A lot less interesting...
