I have just been on my first visit of the year to Chester Zoo. One of the stops I always make is to the Snow Leopards. Nubra, the female, likes to lie on the wall at the back fence, which makes for a nice photograph except for the fence. Having successfully replaced the fence before, but more manually, I decided this time to use AI. The final result was a combination of both techniques, as I wanted the subject of the image to be my photograph, not a close approximation AI created. I uploaded my image and asked AI to replace the fence with a mountain view from the Himalayas. I then overlaid my photograph and masked out the fence. With a little adjustment and tidying up, I then had an image that was mainly mine but looked less like a zoo. Then, with a little editing to enhance the image to be as I remembered it, I had my final image.
