I smile at her with pride. "You're going to remove Helena from the portrait, aren't you?" I ask, and [Name] nods.
"Care to explain it to them while I work, Ty?"
I turn to the girls and clear my throat. "Modern photo-manipulation AI software can remove a subject from an existing image using face detection and recognition. The most impressive part is that it doesn't just erase people. It can rebuild the background behind them in a way that looks completely natural. It can even adjust the overall lighting, so a portrait that looks like it was painted at night can be re-imagined as if it were lit by daylight."
Eleanor's eyebrows rise. "Okay, so [Name] can remove Helena from the portrait and rebuild a daylight version of the scene. That's what you're telling us? And how exactly does that help?"
[Name]'s phone is already in her hands, her fingers flying over the keyboard. "Once I generate a clean, consistent background, I use it to scan the web for visually similar images. And if we're lucky enough..."
"If we're lucky enough...?" Eleanor presses.
"...we find it!" [Name] beams, turning the screen toward us with the results of her search.
