>The Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust has raised concerns over what it describes as the unauthorised use of Ansel Adams’s name and work in an “AI-generated colour version” of his iconic photograph shot in 1942 Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico, which was recently exhibited and offered for sale at a major international photography fair.>In a statement, the Trust said the work “exploited Ansel’s name, reputation, and his most iconic image, while failing to identify any human artist responsible for its creation. The Trust did not authorise, endorse, consent to, or acquiesce in the ‘AI-generated colour version’ of ‘Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico’ exhibited and offered for sale by Danziger Gallery at The Photography Show presented by AIPAD in April. The Trust was not consulted or notified before the work appeared. Once alerted, we reached out to James Danziger in real time, notifying him of the Trust’s rights, and asking for the work to be removed. Correspondence shared with the Trust shows that, despite our formal notice, Mr. Danziger subsequently leveraged Ansel’s name, ‘Moonrise,’ and the AIPAD presentation while pursuing a proposed commercial AI colourisation venture involving other artists’ estates.”>James Danziger made a response on the Danziger website to Ansel Adams Trust's condemnation by not only mentioning that the image is technically in the public domain, but also wrote: "As for the print itself, while A.I. served as the starting point, the final image involved extensive human intervention, editing, proofing, and refinement over many months."
>>4512754>refinement over many monthsStill looks like absolute shit compared to the original kek
>>4512754Ken Rockwell keeps on winning
>>4512754> The work was offered for sale at the art fair in three differently sized editions of ten—for $6,000, $8,000 and $10,000. (The Ansel Adams Gallery, run by the artist’s grandson, offers prints of Moonrise for over $100,000.)lmao. who cares. the subjective nature of art (especially photo) means it will always be perverted by people looking to fill their pockets. they should have ken rockwell'd it some more while they were at it.
Surely that big mountain is his most iconic shot
>>4512794>The Ansel Adams Gallery, run by the artist’s grandson, offers prints of Moonrise for over $100,000.>paying that much for a copy of someone else's photoI understand wanting to protect the integrity of art through rights and pricing structures but surely there's a point where it just becomes greed? $100k isn't exactly an accessible price point.
>>4512857If they're making optical prints off an original negative I could understand charging a fuckton
>>4512849I agree, his big orange mountain shot is my favorite Ansel Adams pic, too
>>4513113you don't think cropping out the ken rockwell watermark may hae been a good choice?
>>4512754One of those photos which could only work in black and white.
>>4513114I bet you are fun at parties
>>4513117your shitposting sucks
>>4513113Worst photo I've seen on this board yet, is this why Ken is a meme? t. /p/ newfag
>>4512754Nice to see a bit of color in it, the original is so dark and depressing
>>4512754Some absolute tech nerd was the first person to pour all art into an AI model. IT fucking sucks that tech dorks absolutely desecrate art and music to enrich themselves. I'd like to choke each one of them death in a row
>>4512754Not only is the gallery owner using AI to copy Angel Adam's, he's profiting for himself and not paying any artists, fuck that guy. and then he's also lying about spending months on it, what a joke. Just Trump / Indian levels of shamelessness and venality
>>4513113Jesus fucking Christ this dude really thinks it looks good?is that why he's a meme?or is that comically overedited for a pun?
>>4513113ken rockwell as a slur has made me edit my photos less out of fear of making them look like his
>>4519262I am, too, scared that it's how it looks like. (my monitor is shit)I need advice cause I'm a newfag if you got any.
>>4519262>>4519274I’ve recently started giving my color photos a little chroma bumpI tell myself it’s because I’m moving away from a real-light purist and learning slightly idealized reality looks betterbut I have a nagging suspicion it’s just the age-related color sensitivity loss kicking in
>>4519286what, that's a thing??
>>4519288yes60-70yo boomers lose color sensitivity, low light vision, and visual dynamic range over time until they see in micro four thirds and think the shots from their $2000 om3 look exactly like real life with lovely realistic colors and more detail than was there to begin withfrom birth to your 60s you see in phase one iq180 visionremember this, and that there are old fucks on 4chan. they just stopped acting any different around 25-30.
>>4512863>optical printsWhy would this justify the price tag?
>>4513673You'll get it in a few years.
>>4519286>age-related color sensitivity loss kicking injust check your scopes bro
>>4512754Ruined. I'm a colorfag but colorizing is fake, gay, tasteless and kitsch (the bad type of kitsch). Involving clankers only makes it worse. "Keep Ted Turner and his goddamn Crayolas away from my movie" is a quote from the 80s attributed to Welles, and it only rings even truer today with everyone having access to technology that's even more destructive, cheaper and quicker.
>>4512792Ken knows the value of black and white. There's even some silver gelatin prints of his around.
>>4525596what should I be looking for
>>4513113reminder that he ises AI (and previosuly PS) to change basically all the skies in his photos. This one is patently fake
>>4512754>>4514132>>4525627So this is where we are at now? Just colorizing some BW photos with AI and selling the result?
>>4534912>he thinks art market became a scam only recently
>>4534912It's all so scummy and scammy, jewish in other words
>>4512754>The Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust His stuff isn't in the public domain?
>>4535054For some reason, you thought that posting this would put them on the moral high ground.
>>4535055Put who on a moral high ground?
>>4535056The ones defacing Adams' works
>>4512754ansel adams was a notorious ball gargler who loved giving head and eating cum loads while out on the trails for any walker that came back. the faggot of the paths they called him.
>>4535091Seething incel
>>4535091Damn he beat you to this
