How has AI transformed photo editing?

Kim Komando 0:00
It used to take a graphic designer hours of work and major skills to fix one single photo. Now it takes you seconds with this AI tool. Nano Banana 2 is the best AI image model right now. It's built right into Gemini, Google's AI chatbot. So let's say you took a great selfie at the beach, but there's an ugly trash can in the background. Just upload that picture into Gemini and say, remove the trash can. From there, it doesn't just blur it out. It actually reconstructs what should be there.

What is Google's Gemini and its features?

Kim Komando 0:27
The sidewalk, sky, sand, waves, whatever fits. It was like that trash can was never there. You can get fancier and go big. Tell it to make the sky a bright sunset or add me as a surfer on the waves in the background. This is the stuff that used to cost you a Photoshop subscription and a YouTube tutorial. Now, it just costs about 30 seconds. For more tips like this, get my free newsletter at getkim.com.

How can you remove unwanted objects from photos using AI?

Next up, a call for my weekend show, the Kim Commando Show. Enjoy! As we head into spring, I've been looking for fewer distractions and more focus during my day, whether I'm working, traveling, or just taking a break. I've been using Raycon's Everyday Earbuds Classic, and they've become my daily go-to. The active noise cancellation blocks out background noise so I can concentrate on my calls, music, or podcasts. and the sound is crisp and clear. They've also added smart upgrades. Multipoint connectivity lets me pair with two devices at once. The ergonomic fit is comfortable and stays put, no matter what I'm doing. And I'm loving the cool mint color. It's fresh. Nice change from basic black or white. Battery life is strong, up to 32 hours, and a quick 10-minute charge gives me 90 minutes of playtime.

I also use awareness mode when I'm out walking my dog so I can hear everything around me. If you're ready to upgrade your earbuds this spring, go to buyraycon.com slash Kim to get 20% off. That's buyraycon.com slash Kim. Buyraycon.com slash Kim.

Kim Komando 1:50
Go now. Get 20% off. It's amazing. At buyraycon.com slash Kim. Amber in Kansas City, Missouri. You're up next. Hello there, Amber. Hi, Kim.

What are the benefits of using AI for photo edits over traditional methods?

Amber 2:02
Thank you so much for taking my call. Huge fan. Love listening to you every week. Thank you. So my question is kind of career related. So about four years ago, I started a second career in like software development. And previously I was in sales. I do have a bachelor's in computer science. Nice. And... I'm just not really into software anymore.
Kim Komando 2:34
You know what? It's very tedious. Are you coding or are you developing or designing?
Amber 2:41
I'm mostly like supporting and I'm like on the platform side, DevOps side of things. Yeah.

How can you improve your focus and productivity with tech?

Kim Komando 2:52
What don't you like about it?
Amber 2:54
Um, the constant meetings, um, the barrage of people messaging me every day. And I, I just feel like I can't get anything done on my own.
Kim Komando 3:05
What did you, what'd you sell beforehand?
Amber 3:09
Beforehand? Um, I sold, um, branded like, um, Like T-shirts. Oh, okay.

What are the advantages of using Raycon's Everyday Earbuds?

Unknown 3:18
Stuff like that. Can I back Amber up on the meetings? I have a buddy who works for a very large bank, and he's in the software development side of the bank. And he has five and a half hours a day of meetings.
Kim Komando 3:30
Oh my gosh, you're kidding.
Unknown 3:31
In an eight and a half hour day.
Kim Komando 3:33
I would go bonkers.
Unknown 3:34
I don't know how he does it. They have meetings about tomorrow's meeting.
Kim Komando 3:38
That's awful.
Unknown 3:38
It's insane.
Kim Komando 3:40
I won't have a meeting if it's more than 30 minutes. I won't blame you at all, Amber. That's it. So are you thinking like where you can pivot next?
Amber 3:49
Yeah, I'm looking for like Pivot to something IT related. I just, I don't have any friends. You're like my friends in IT.
Kim Komando 4:01
So that's why I've called you. Here's what I would do if I were you. Okay. You know, it's hard to find good salespeople. Did you like selling? Yes and no. I like talking to people. Okay. All right. So we're going to get you out of the meetings. But the reason why I'm pointing towards this is that if you could sell and if you have a background in IT, that instead of going in software development, let's flip it around. And you could get into, say, technical sales or solutions engineering. And so the best salespeople in tech are former software developers and people who understand it.
