Picasa and artificial intelligence for image processing.

[socraticquest]

Hello,

Has Google considered applying artifical intelligence in Picasa i.e.,
Picasa's RETOUCH feature?

Any recommendations for downloads of other image editing programs that
apply artificial intelligence?

Thank-you

[More Info]

There is an old program I recall testing one time, called PhotoGenetics,
that did something similar to AI. In that it "learned" your preferences. By
presenting you with several randomly altered images and you selecting the
one you found the most pleasing. It would eventually target exactly what
changes you desired. I don't think it's been updated nor supported since
about 2002. It worked rather well, from what I remember. It was an
interesting approach on how to make an image look better.

A quick Google shows it still exists on shareware servers, but whether or
not you can register it is probably anyone's guess. You can however hunt
for old key-generators for it if you are interested in exploring and
continuing to use what it does.

PhotoGenetics does not seem to be receivng further support. I'm not
versed in tracking-down old key-generators. Any additional
recommendations for image-editing software that applies (AI)
artificial intelligence?

It seems that with a growing number of image-editing programs, it
seems that (AI) would be applied. I use Magic Inpainter and it does a
good job at automatically retouching color photos. I doubt that Magic
Inpainter applies (AI).
