Facebook AI is now capable of ‘opening’ eyes in photos where they’re closed

TwitterFacebook

Facebook wants to open your eyes in photos where they’re closed — and now it can.

A pair of Facebook engineers have come up with an artificial intelligence tool that fixes people’s closed eyes in photos, a research paper published this week by the social media company revealed.

The 10-page paper likened the method to other photo retouching methods such as removing blemishes and red-eye corrections.

Although the idea is still in its research phase, it’s the first technology of its kind that “fixes” closed eyes in photos while taking into account uncontrollable variables like lighting. Adobe, the leading photo editing software, does not have the capability to do that yet. Read more…

YouTuber asks the internet *not* to Photoshop his pleasant honeymoon photo

TwitterFacebook

Back in April, YouTuber Jack Douglass (of jacksfilms) kindly asked the internet not to Photoshop his wedding photos. Of course, he knew what would happen, and it did: the internet Photoshopped his wedding photos.

Now, Douglass is back for round two. On Tuesday, he tweeted a lovely photo of his wife, Erin, from their honeymoon. He also tweeted a .png version of the photo with the background removed. 

“Please don’t photoshop our lovely honeymoon,” he wrote. “Just ignore the .png with no background.”

The most uncomfortable thing imaginable is a hairless Mario

TwitterFacebook

A horrible beast follows me in my dreams now.

Every night, I awake in terror, awash with sweat, heart pounding. I grip the bedding around me, trying to ground myself from the too-real horrors I just awoke from.

He’s inside my head now, an image emblazoned on my conscience that I can never escape. A beast so familiar and yet a complete stranger, twisted by some sort of cruel instrument that has left him nothing but a dreadful shell of his former self.

It’s-a-him, Shaved Mario.
