Live Image Critique

Beta

Get constructive feedback on your photographs and practical ideas for improvement. Choose one of the prompts below to open ChatGPT and review either a single image or a group of images.

You can try ChatGPT without an account for a limited number of reviews. A free account may be required for continued use.

Each review considers:

  • Impact
  • Composition
  • Technical execution
  • Lighting
  • Creativity
  • Storytelling

AI feedback is a useful second opinion, not a replacement for live judging. It may occasionally miss something or reach a different conclusion than you do.

  1. The prompt is currently setup with the following weightingโ€™s for scoring.

    Impact. 20%
    Composition 20%
    Technical 20%
    Lighting 15%
    Creativity 15%
    Storytelling 10%

    Thoughts on whether this is the right mix ?

    1. Great idea, Stuart! To me, impact and storytelling are prime. Composition, lighting, technical aspects and even creativity are used to support the impact of a photo and storytelling. Just my 2 cents.

  2. I am a member of PSA’s Digital Dialogue which consists of 90+ groups comprised of PSA members who submit monthly photos for critiquing by other PSA members. There are approximately 6 members per group so the total number of photographers taking part each month is in the neighborhood of 550. The members of Digital Dialogue recently received a stern email from the director of Digital Dialogue advising us that we should, in no way, use Artificial Intelligence to write our monthly critiques.

    I happen to agree with this admonition. If we use AI in the RCC for advice, why do we need live judges? I would rather read a movie review from a live critic than from Ai. I guess I’m old fashioned, but as far as the Digital Dialogue groups are concerned, why be a part of the group if AI can give you advice? I’ve been involved with Digital Dialogue for over 10 years, and the members of my group have gotten to know each other’s tendencies in their photographs. There’s a human element involved that the director may be concerned about. I am frequently reminded of the Eloi in H. G. Welles’ “The Time Machine” when AI is discussed. I hope that’s not where we’re headed.
