You might have seen my post about creating Capture One scripts using ChatGPT. Even if you’re not familiar with AppleScript, you can use AI to write scripts for you. Yesterday OpenAI released GPT-4, and I’ve just tested it for writing Capture One scripts. The real difference is that GPT-4 can actually create a Capture One script from scratch. It isn’t perfect yet, and you’ll likely need a few iterations to make it work properly. Still, it’s pretty impressive. I’ve recorded a short video showing how you can create a script that sets a five-star rating and applies green color tags…

Hey! Two years ago, I moved to a new country and built a photography business here from scratch using my AI-powered image editing workflow. I’ve found a way to speed up and automate every aspect of image processing: from initial culling to auto-editing and AI-powered retouching.

So it’s not some theoretical stuff; these tools have proven to generate income. On April 27, I will share all the details of this workflow in my…

Recently, OpenAI has released a new AI tool, ChatGPT, that allows you to generate any text you can imagine: from marketing copywriting to programming code. ChatGPT is free, although you might need to use a bit of a queue to try it. ChatGPT was released just several days ago, but numerous use cases have already been published. People are building websites and creating apps just by using a code generated by ChatGPT. And that’s when I thought: How can Capture One users benefit from such a text-based AI tool? We can set up AI to write Capture One scripts for…
