Phun with Photos
In the previous post for the monthly featured Flickr photo, Enhanced Chess Art (March 2025), I asked and answered,
Why put 'photos' in inverted commas (' ')? Because I didn't understand how they were done.
That could just as easily apply to this month's 'photo', shown below. At first glance it certainly could be a photo, but the first clue to the contrary was the unnatural arrangement of the pieces on an 8x7 board.
Playing chess keeps you fit! // This is an AI image...

The second clue was in the title: 'This is an AI image'. So how was it created? Here the first clue was the start of the description; it said,
ChatGPT generated this image based on a text description that I had entered.
The second clue was a tag that said, 'Luminar Neo'. What's that? Wikipedia to the rescue in Luminar Neo (wikipedia.org):-
Luminar Neo is a photo editing software application developed by Skylum (formerly Macphun) available for Windows and macOS. [It] was released in February 2022. It works as a standalone application and as a plugin for Adobe and Apple products.
Macphun? Thus arose the title of this post.
