Project Garden Lens
Hello everyone,
I'm a professional horticultural photographer and have spent decades photographing gardens, plants, and flowers. Over the years I've accumulated an extensive archive of original RAW files paired with professionally retouched final TIFFs.
Many of the edits involve:
• Leaf blemish removal
• Insect damage repair
• Petal cleanup
• Foliage refinement
• Distraction removal
• Selective focus enhancement and visual attention control
What has me curious is whether an archive like this could be used to train or fine-tune a computer vision model to perform a first-pass botanical retouching workflow.
My goal wouldn't be to replace professional judgment. I'd simply love to reduce some of the repetitive cleanup work so I can spend more time behind the camera and less time in front of Photoshop.
Has anyone worked with a similar before-and-after image dataset for image enhancement or retouching applications?
Does this seem technically feasible, and if so, what type of model or workflow would you investigate first?
I'd appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.
Thank you!
