I recently wrote about the hidden costs of using AI. It can become expensive, especially if you plan to use it often. How does Adobe's credit system work? This video explains it.
Using AI for photo manipulation and generating artificial images costs money. I wrote that in the previous article. If you haven't read it yet, here is the link to read the article anyway, or read it again.
The video below explains how Adobe's credit system works. It also shows how you can avoid using credits in some cases.
Most of the small things you do in Lightroom as part of photo editing are still free. Or rather, included in the subscription you have. These are also the things a photographer can use to their advantage.
However, if you create artificial images with AI, it is wise to be aware of this. That allows you to make the most of the credits in your account.
