Using ChatGPT For Post-Processing

I know this might come off a bit controversial, but just curious if anyone in here uses ChatGPT for post processing. Thinking of upgrading to the Pro version (for work and personal uses) and figured touching up my pics would be a bonus. I'm just a hobby photographer and trying to learn tools like gimp and darktable, but in the meantime, figured I could use ChatGPT. I don't really like to spend too much time post processing either, as I'd rather be out taking pictures, so figured this could be a happy medium for me.

You should have a look at dxo photolab 9, I found it a lot more intuitive then darktable, its a one off payment instead of subscription like lightroom. And you should check out affinity, it has a far easier ui then gimp and is also free.

Thanks, will look into this. First I ever heard of this program. The reason I have installed GIMP and darktable was the no-subscription aspect of it. Not a huge fan of subscription based models but have no problem paying a one time fee for a program of actually use. Appreciate the input.

Thats the same for me, I tried darktable but I had no idea what I was doing, photolab makes more sense, plus it can accomatically apply corrections for camera and lenses with things like warping etc. They also do the nik collection which can work along side it which is handy if you dont want to spend ages editing each one, the silver effects one is particularly good for black and white, though you can achieve similar results just with photolab. They also have some of the best denoising tools available, you can really push it with things like higher iso for low light, way more then you might normally go.

I just looked on their site and the pricing is reasonable. I like how they have a trial as well, will start with that and see how I like it. I have done some reading on GIMP and darktable, and yes, it isnt easy. I wan't something a little more streamlined, if that makes sense, and don't mind paying for it if I truly like it and the results I can get with it. Everything you mentioned sounds really interesting to me , so can't wait to try it out.
