Hey! I’m not a big fan of Adobe software, but Photoshop has three incredible AI features that I use all the time. Let me show you :)

I. Generative Fill

Remove anything from your image – like Ringo Starr, for example.

Read in your browser ↗ Hey! Every new idea is just a mix of old ideas. Here are my three rules for “stealing” ads ethically: Rule #1: Never steal from your neighbor Instead of copying my competitors, I draw inspiration from other industries.
