Rant: I spent a whole weekend fixing blurry photos before I found a fix

Six months ago, I had a batch of 200 photos from a family trip that were all a bit blurry. I used to spend hours in Photoshop trying to sharpen them one by one, and it never looked right. Then I tried an AI photo editor that just had a 'fix blur' button, and it cleaned them up in maybe ten minutes. It felt like magic, but also made me wonder what else I'm doing the hard way. What other boring photo jobs have you guys handed off to AI tools lately?

Feel your pain, did the same thing last month.

Heard about my buddy who was manually removing people from old group photos for his mom's album. Took him forever until someone showed him an AI tool that just zapped them out.

Used to think AI tools were just a gimmick for people who didn't know how to use real software. Then I had a stack of old scanned photos with dust spots and scratches everywhere. Spent hours with the clone stamp tool getting nowhere, then ran them through an AI denoiser and it cleaned them up in seconds. Changed my mind completely, sometimes letting a machine do the boring grunt work just makes sense.
