All of The Enloe Trials photos were unfortunately archived, and over the past 12 months, I have been restoring them - so the chapters are back online.
In addition, I've taken this opportunity to clean up some photos. All in all, probably about 50 photos have been updated across the 20 chapters. Usually with facial expressions to help convey the tone of the scene I was trying to share, and in some cases, more expansive environments to help illustrate the scenery that I could not accomplish before. Much of this has been aided through AI technology, with creative editing.
I'm trying to be careful to not overdo it, and make it appear as natural as possible. I don't believe they will be too jarring; some may not even get noticed.
Here is one example of where Rykrof is stranded on a junkyard planet... I always felt the scenery looked too tight, so a few shots have expanded, such as this...
BEFORE
AFTER
This took a lot of trial and error and prompts, and I still touched up the AFTER photo, updated lighting, etc. But wow, the depth I was able to add to it really made me feel more immersed into the setting.
I know some people are very much against AI technology, and I'm not always a fan of it myself. I'm just trying to use it as a tool in specific situations where I just don't have the skills or resources to convey my ideas digitally or with practical effects.
This is a huge turning point for me getting these old chapters back online. I feel inspired again, so more news will be coming soon!
