Adobe casts doubt on claim ‘automation by Photoshop’ was to blame as network apologises for image shown during bulletin

The Victorian upper house MP Georgie Purcell has lashed Nine News in Melbourne for using an image edited to make her breasts look bigger and expose her midriff, which the network blamed on “automation by Photoshop”.

But Adobe has cast doubt on Nine News’s claim about its software, after the network broadcast the image during Monday night’s bulletin.

The program’s news director, Hugh Nailon, apologised to the upper house Animal Justice Party MP on Tuesday for the “graphic error”, and blamed “automation by Photoshop”.

“Our graphics department sourced an online image of Georgie to use in our story on duck hunting. As is common practice, the image was resized to fit our specs,” he said.

“During that process, the automation by Photoshop created an image that was not consistent with the original. This did not meet the high editorial standards we have and for that we apologise to Ms Purcell unreservedly.”

But in a statement on Tuesday afternoon, a spokesperson for Adobe said use of its generative AI features would have required “human intervention”.

Oh yeah. Totally automated. I forgot Adobe had a button you can click that made womens boobs bigger.

Hahaha and here I am trying to think what was the prompt used “make them bewbs bigger” 😂

It's the "Boobinator 9000." It's enabled by default in all Adobe software. You have to go into settings and toggle it off.

Adobe? No.

Some mod for video game girls? Yes.

This is the tool they're blaming

https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/generative-expand.html

Which absolutely could do this.

Edit: to clarify, you can use this tool to generate clothes. That's what they did, starting at the bottom of her bust. Look at the differences in the fabric. It's very clear where the generation starts.

I don't think so, generative expand does not mean "make parts of the image bigger", all it does is create content around a selection, the link you provided explains it :

Sometimes the canvas you’re working with just isn’t the right size — you need space to add text or want to transform a landscape into a portrait. With the Crop tool and Generative Expand, powered by Adobe Firefly, you can seamlessly resize your image to fit any need.

Magically add more background. Once you’ve gotten the crop just right, click Generate to immediately fill the empty space with newly generated high-quality content that naturally blends with the existing image. Go from a few leaves to a whole jungle in just a few taps.

So it could've created the mid-drift, maybe, but not enlarge her breasts.

[–] Assman@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

Everything below the bottom quarter of her bust is generated. I don't know why they did that, but it's pretty clear looking at the fabric which parts were made up by ai.

For some reason I'm reminded of the LGR Blerb video about Photoshop's Neural Filters.
