I am scared for but also excited by adobe AI. Of course hands on has not been as impressive as the Adobe Demos.

I have previously written about the problems with Appel Photos new People and Pets and my dogs. It keeps tagging Indiana Bones photos (who is dead) to pictures of Pepper Pawtts over and over again. Super frustrating. It really needs the ability to add deceased and born tags. Or take into account keywords?
Well now I have a new problem that is seriously frustrating. I have been going through People and Pets and getting it all setup with contact info for my closets family and friends. Well as of yesterday it combined my wife and my father.
Now my wife is Kelly Lynn Pancho Walker and my dad is Kelly Deanne Walker. And I had them setu correctly and attached to their individual contacts. And they seriously look nothing alike!
And the best part is going through and telling it that my dad is not my wife doesn’t seem to transfer between devices. Over the past 7 days I have had to do the same thing on my computer, iPad and iPhone, and multiple times on some of the devices. And I keep going back and finding more photos of my dad tagged to my wife! In fact I have gone through my 10,000+ photos of my over 15 times and every time there is at least one photo of my father stuck in there, and usually more like 6-10! WTF!
And unlike old versions of photos where I could tag people myself, now you have to let Photos do it, so I have no way to retag photos of my father as himself! And he doesn’t show up as his own person. Again WTf!
Apple makes things simpler with less control for users, which is fine, at least until they don’t work! And then there is no way to fix anything! And this new feature is not ready for prime time, but knowing Apple I don’t know if it ever will be!
Honestly this is the simplest Apple Intelligence available for all compatible devices and if this is the quality, then I am scared of the quality of Apple Intelligence. This is a bug that should not happen!
Key wording photos has always been time intensive so Apple automatically tagging people is great, but not with mistakes like this.
All I can do now is wait see if my father ever reshows as a possible person, is I can tag him and have his photos show up as himself, but I doubt it will ever happen. Will 10 years from now, will photos of my father keep showing up tagged as my wife? It seems pretty likely!
I really do want Mononodes DCTL’s but am currently full time baby raising so I just can’t afford it, so great to see it done in slices as well.

I am a sucker for great timeline organization, so audio organization is just as important.
yup, Google search gets worse and worse every day. And this doesn’t even get into the problems of Chrome or GMAIL.
And they have made it so no one can afford to compete with them, so no startup can even try. Of course they have been declared a monopoly in their advertising so they need to be broken up, though I doubt either Trump it Harris would every consider doing it.
This is so amazing! Being able to draw and move simple items or even a camera to create Adobe Firefly AI images. This is the control that Firefly truly needs.
So we lost Indiana Bones more than a year ago and got Pepper Pawtts not long after.
And they are both the same color shar pei but honestly look nothing alike! Indiana was a meat mouth and Pepper is a bone mouth!
And I do extensive keywording in Apple Photos, but Apple Photos doesn’t seem to care about that and it insists that Pepper Pawtts is Indiana Bones. And no matter how many times I tell photos that Pepper is not Indiana it adds more Pepper photos to Indiana.
And I can find no way to make my own new Pepper face. You used to be able to tell photos this was a face but now photos is using AI to do it badly, and not all my keywords are even showing up. You have to wait for it to make a category for that dog.
Honestly photos needs birth and death date settings for pets. So it will know the pet or person is dead after a certain date and not to try and tag them after they die!
And you need to be able to select photos and tell Photos this is a new face, not relying on AI that isn’t very good to tag for you!
Literally every day Apple Photos adds hundreds of my photos of Indiana Bones to Pepper Pawtts, but she is dead, and it makes me sad every day. It would be nice if instead of just a, this isn’t Pepper Pawtts, there was an option to say this is Indiana Bones who has her own pet setting.
I hate how Apple takes control away, but replaces it with inferior methods, and they don’t think of things like dog deaths!
I commented on the post, as I am running an M2 Mac Studio on Sequoia 15.0.1 and Blackmagic Design Desktop Video 14.2.1 with my UltraStudio 4K and it runs just fine. And I didn’t have to try the terminal hack, it just worked. And I tested it in Adobe Premiere Pro 14.6.3 and it works just as it should. So it isn’t the Thunderbolt 2 adapter not working with a driver, or the latest driver fixed it.
I am so glad it still works too, as I am busy parenting and with a newborn unable to work right now, so I wouldn’t have been unable to replace it for a while.
This would be impressive if it just did the compositing, but the relighting is absolutely amazing! I mean changing shadows on an image, OMG!
Sure I am sure apple will figure a way to bypass this, but for now I them some money and will be using it for sure.
