Creating a Bird in Flight Sequence in Photoshop (Zero AI)

Seven frames of the same black-headed gull, one composite, and no generative AI. I photographed it on the Canon R5 Mark II with the EF 400mm f/2.8, then put it together in Photoshop using Content-Aware Fill, Content-Aware Scale and one simple trick for spacing every bird perfectly. They’re tools that have been in Photoshop for years, and they did a better job than AI would have.
