This knowledge base is amazing! Your virtual self responded to my query about perspective with tips related to guide marks and vanishing points, even recommending a book on the subject. It feels like having the Waterfall City Library at my disposal.
Wow! This is super!! It had one weird response - I asked it if you had ever used a red lens or red filter to see values and it said you hadn’t… then I asked it how to practice values and it said “try using a red filter” hahaha! It did give me great advice about photographing paintings :)
I will 100% be using this again! Fun! Thank you!
Virginia, yes, you definitely have to take any answers it gives you with a grain of salt, but if you try a question a few different ways it gets there.
