Off topic, but - Who tf is wasting energy and time to "enhance" screenshots of blockbuster movies? How is this "better"?

The un-"enhanced" image: https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/31476aec-faa9-428e-ae16-7c1cea4fd404.png

Movie: Shot and edited with the best equipment and software, all by talented professionals.

I don't even think AI was involved, probably compression + someone increasing contrast before uploading it to their Instagram @funnymemeslol page to make it POP

[–] ech@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

I've never seen compression make an image look like that. I have seen lots of garbage upscaling/"enhancing" do exactly that. The blurry smoothing effect and full-on alterations are dead giveaways. Notice how his eyes fully go from blue to brown?

Nah, AI was definitely involved. It is pretty standard for most social media posts these days, because it is so easy for even the most tech-iliterate person to click the slopbutton.

What is the movie?

[–] ech@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago (3 children)

The recent Road House remake. It's an ok movie.

[–] determinist@kbin.earth 3 points 3 months ago

Thanks. I avoided it. Probably still going to give it a miss. Thanks though.

[–] Marthirial@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

It is not a good movie but it is really entertaining.

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 2 points 3 months ago

Although a quite superflous one.

Maybe they wanted to make him a lil orange for political reasons? Maybe it's secretly a Simpsons shitpost.
