Pressefotografenes Klubb clarifies KI rules
Club Pressefotografenes has decided to clarify and change the rules for Image of the Year 2024.
“All images submitted to the competition must be photographed with a camera and AI-generated images are not included in the competition. This also applies to the use of generative charging or artificial elements. This applies across all categories,” he wrote fotojournalisten.no.
Several smart tools can be used:
“Some AI-powered enhancement tools will be possible to use under competition rules, as long as they do not cause significant changes to the content, such as “Denoise”, which uses AI to sharpen and improve image quality. Regarding image editing in general, the rules are the same as before (§9 of the rules).”
“Images may not be altered except by accepted techniques such as cropping, brightness, contrast, moderate color adjustments, spotting and fading. Judges may request to be sent the original unprocessed files to assess whether image processing is within the applicable range.”
“Examples of tools that directly violate the competition rules are all AI-powered zoom tools such as Adobe Super Resolution and Topaz Photo AI,” wrote fotojournalisten.no.
