A few days ago, Lutherans celebrated Reformation Sunday. I was dressed for it, wearing something red in honor of the day. I also wore my Lutheran rose symbol earrings. No one saw me, since I attend church on line.

I was concentrating on the excellent sermon by a visiting pastor, when I was distracted by his laptop in the pulpit. I took a quick photo of the screen so that I could put my mind back where it belonged. I found it most amusing that Martin Luther was peering at the congregation from his picture on the back of the laptop (upper left corner). I showed my photo to grandson David when I saw him later, and I asked if he would agree that it was Luther. I didn’t trust my eyes. Yes, he said it looked like the reformer himself observing everything. Here is the photo with the pastor’s face blurred, because I didn’t ask him for permission to use it.

I was rather excited about the photo, because it was the first time I used AI. A few weeks ago, I asked niece Kathie for suggestions of things to play with, since she uses AI in teaching. Blurring a photo seemed a good place to start.
I never even though about using AI to alter a photo. Look at you being so tech-savvy!

I was bumbling about, but it was a start.

I didn’t realize you could blur a photo with AI. I see people put a smiley face smack dab on the face which looks a little odd. This is better.

I figured AI could do it. It did.

AI is pretty smart although I wanted a birthday cake with candles for my post about Smokey the Bear’s 80th birthday last year and I asked AI at WP to do it and it didn’t say “Happy Birthday” in English. I had fun with it for my scarecrow post (of me turning into a real scarecrow) last year.

Curiosity makes me try things. If the blur hadn’t worked, you wouldn’t have read about it.

So many new things going on…changes every day… exciting times!! I use Photoshop for most of my photo editing. It’s rather pricey, but I have an older version (Photoshop 7) which is ancient but will do about anything I want. There are slim versions that can be had for free in the app stores.

I had a slim version of something, but it is long gone.
