Street Abstract. Barcelona, 2014
Yep, it is coming vewwy, vewwy soon!
Imagine being able to select an object in your photograph, then lift it up, turn it any which way, and set it down wherever you want within the image. All the while, the object retains its texture, color and characteristics, and the lighting and shadows adjust as they should.
This could open up a whole new world of creative possibilities. (Not that we don’t already have a near-infinite universe of possibilities with our current version of Photoshop, but still.) In the above image, for example, maybe I could pick up one of those giant balls and stick it in the middle of the road!
Here is an interesting video (4:51) that will show you where we are with this idea of 3D manipulation. No need to fully understand some of the techno-geek terms she uses to get the point.
