Image created with Midjourney that was altered with the Topaz Gigapixel AI plug-in, then the Exposure X6 plug-in (blow up), then the Luminar Neo plug-in (accent AI, noiseless, smart contrast, dramatic, structure, small detail, face light, iris visibility, iris flare, eye whitening, and eye enhancement), then numerous edits with built-in Photoshop tools and the Photoshop paintbrush, then the Luminar Neo plug-in (burning and dodging), and then the Exposure X6 plug-in (damaged wet plate photograph effect). Wet plate photography was widely used in the mid-19th century. It involves creating photographs on glass or metal plates coated with a light-sensitive emulsion. The Melting Reality series explores using generative AI to create surrealistic works. https://tinyurl.com/3j2pyzth
