From 1973 to 1994, I made a living as an independent photographer before delving into IT, and it served me pretty well.
I got back into photography when I started working with CAF and counties today fully engulfed into the digital thing.
Back in the day I was pretty good in the darkroom manipulating film and prints. One could do a lot of corrections in exposure and contrast. The one thing you could not do is sharpen an out of focus picture.
Today’s digital software you can do amazing things. AI is creeping into graphic software. For as little as $100 I can get a plug-in to photoshop that does reconstruction to a fuzzy picture like what you see on TV.
My thought exercise Is why can’t this same technology be used in fixing all the bad recordings out there.
Nelson Pass created a little add-on gizmo that he handed out at a seminar that could at least make a recording acceptable. It was a second-harmonic generator. How that could improve anything is anyone's guess.
