Kate Middleton doctored photo: how technology is changing photography forever and why you shouldn’t always believe what you see

The Independent  

A seemingly innocuous picture released by the royal family to mark Mother’s Day, showing Kate Middleton smiling surrounded by her three children, has led to profound questions over how true photographs really are. Since the Moon is tidally locked to the Earth, it’s very easy to train your model on other moon images and just slap that texture when a moon-like thing is detected.” In a response published on its website, Samsung said that it did use artificial intelligence but suggested that the Moon in photographs is actually the real lunar surface. “When you’re taking a photo of the moon, your Galaxy device’s camera system will harness this deep learning-based AI technology, as well as multi-frame processing in order to further enhance details,” it said. That combines a host of images into one “fantastic picture”, as the site reads, swapping out someone’s distracted face for another, more focused one from another image.
