I learned many new tools to use.
Great webinar, will review the recording.
This presentation alone is more than worth the price of my membership. The show and tell segment was extremely useful. I’m excited to get started on imaging to add to my family history writings.
I have been doing genealogy for close to 20 years, and I take a lot of on-line classes to stay “up” on things, and this presentation was, w/o a doubt one of the best classes I have ever taken.
what a great presentation I really enjoyed it plus learned a lot.
Amazing! How many times have we wished that we could go back in time to see our ancestors’ world? This may be the closest we ever get. This futuristic technology is helping us to touch the past. I’m already thinking about my prompts! Thank you for this series!
Wow! This was a fantastic introduction to using AI to generate images from text and also to artificially repair photographs.
EXCELLENT WEBINAR!!! Definitely one to watch again and again too!!!!
