The Landscape Mixer tool is one of Adobe Photoshop’s new range of filters that uses artificial intelligence to automatically alter your photos. This filter takes elements from other landscape photos and mixes them in with yours. Here, the filter has mixed in a sunset mood from another photo and added a long exposure look to the sea to give the choppy waters a misty quality.
Like most automated AI tools, the results are impressive yet far from perfect. The leap in technology here is truly staggering; the ability to automatically recognize the different parts of a photo and then splice
in another landscape is genuinely impressive. However, while marvelling at the technology, you’re also likely to notice plenty of dodgy patches. Aside from the image looking very low res and low quality afterwards, the effect can have an adverse effect on important details.
Here, the application has changed the rock formations that are integral to the scene. But with a few simple layer skills, it’s easy to take the best parts from the filter effect and mix them in with manual enhancements of your own to create an improved image.
