Reviewer scorecard
“Not relevant for developers. It's a photographer's tool with AI enhancements.”
“Open weights mean you can self-host, fine-tune, and customize. ComfyUI + Stable Diffusion is the power user stack.”
“AI Denoise and Lens Blur produce results that previously required $2,000 lenses. Democratizes professional photography.”
“Stable Diffusion with ControlNet and LoRA fine-tuning gives artists more control than any closed model.”
“The AI masking and selection tools genuinely save hours of tedious masking work. Real productivity improvement.”
“Company instability and leadership changes are concerning. The open-source models are great but the company's future is uncertain.”
