Kia Ora, Reader!
Have you ever gone online, searching the internet out of boredom and then stumbled across images that even A.I won’t believe? It’s gone to the point where it’s even difficult to tell what’s real and what is fake.
W.A.L.T
On Tuesday this week, Matua Aina visited our class to educate us about the differences between edited photos or real photos, also showing us a video that basically explained the topic. He then pulled up a digital learning object, (if not, then I’d consider it as a tutorial on how we can modify ourselves) that talked about the steps of our editing background.
Our task was to take a head to toe picture of ourselves and use the ‘BG remover’ website. When inserting your desired photo onto this site, it crops out the background excluding ourselves, the name of the website basically speaks for itself. Our job was to edit ourselves in a setting like NYC or yourself standing in Paris, or basically wherever you’d like to be. It was a pretty fun challenge in my opinion!
The photos I took for fun!
Hereby are the pictures I edited:
That’s me in Sukuna’s lair, cool, right? It’s definitely real.
In addition, here’s another ‘totally not edited’ picture of me in my mansion with my pet worm!
(I’m aware that the lighting ruins the realistic look…)
What I’ve learnt:
Those were two of my snapshots that I’ve created! Hope you liked them. I’ve learnt that if you’re wondering if a picture is edited or not, say that you saw a UFO online, you can ask your guardian / parent and gather their current knowledge then do your own research about it like a real detective.
Now, if you saw those pictures of mine online, would you think that they’re real or fake? Let me know your thoughts down in the comments!
Thanks for reading.
