@Ryan I was expecting your voice to be deeper :P

@Darth_Vader use a counter? I'm not sure what you're trying
 
4:42 AM
@ZachSaucier i am trying to target unique IDs for an animation. The animation works but i need to target whatever the digits are and a loop will not work.
 
4:55 AM
Figured it out.

Sorry, I figured you were asleep already

@joojaa no harm done
But I often see you quickly answer a Q in a comment. If you'd make those answers, they'd be in the right place to begin with, and could easily be edited if you're too lazy to do so :P
 
hello 'room
 
hey @Luciano
 
what to do with this type of "shopping" question?

Q: I am looking for this specific flower vector.

DEMETRAI am looking for this specific flower vector. Can anyone tell me where i can find it for free if it's possible ? enter link description here

oh, done
 
yeah, I'm not happy with the phrasing, but it's off-topic fer sure
 
@Vincent the balls some people have is truly astonishing
that's the same user that posted that horrible ALL CAPS question yesterday I think
 
10:10 AM
shrugs
@PieBie nope, it's not :)
But yeah, I have seen people more ballsy than that
some of them have been banned ;)
 
@Vincent oh, well I can't find the Q anymore, so can't check, probs got closed :p
 
life is too short to worry about bad questions
 
true, but still, asking people on a site to do your work for you is just horrible in my book
 
or worse, HOMEwork
 
there's tons of bad questions today...
 
10:21 AM
start downvoting :)
 
I have... many
 
This one makes me angry

Q: Software to create cartoon from picture

Mark SikoyoCan anyone please tell me what application can be used to convert an image to a cartoon like in this image: Or to anime art like this: I don't mean like Photoshop, Illustrator, or GIMP, I mean like an app that does that without the hassle of the a forementioned tools.

 
@Vincent completely understand
isn't this Q very, very opinion based? graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/74987/…
 
yes
I'd vote for it as such if that wouldn't mean hammering it close
 
10:36 AM
flagged it, but it cannot be closed as it has a bounty >_>
 
a bounty by the Asker. Bounties expire.
 
that is true :)
my bounty is still 4 days, but I can't give it to myself although I think my answer is best :(
 
@PieBie you can't do the ourobouros thing with your bounties
Hm. Why hasn't been synonymised with yet?
 
@Vincent I know, and I understand why that is. But still. I'll just let it expire then
 
If it expires, it goes to the highest score answer that is not yours
 
10:41 AM
@Vincent You'd think 'grid' would be the general tag, but it's 'grids' that has the info
@Vincent but we're evenly matched at 4 now ;p
 
I merged them. Adding will now automagically turn into
 
@Vincent I'd think it would be the other way around, but this'll do :)
 
Can always rename
(I hope :P)

morning all
 
hey Ryan
do you know of an easyish way to open the same file multiple times in Camera RAW?
the best I can think of is duplicating the file however many times then opening the duplicates, I'm wondering if there is a more elegant way
 
not sure you mean. Why can't you just open it?
 
hey @Ryan, @JohnB
 
hey PieBie
 
@JohnB what do you mean?
 
1:06 PM
@JohnB do you mean opening the raw file in photoshop after processing it
 
before processing it - typing an explanation
 
i think you hold alt or something when you click open and it opens it as a smart object
you can open it multiple times then i think
 
I've been playing around with luminosity masking per your suggestion, so my current workflow is to open the image in Camera Raw, adjust the exposure and stuff, bring it into Photoshop, then open it again in Camera Raw, re-adjust, bring it into Photoshop
 
okay, that sounds right. Whats the problem when trying to open it again that you are thinking about creating file duplicates
 
on the flip side, if I could have two copies of the same image in Camera Raw, it's more convenient for me to tweak at the same time
like this:
 
1:15 PM
One minute. See what I can find. I know what you're after can be done in CaptureOne and Lightroom without having to duplicate the file.
 
aha. Creating a duplicate on the filesystem isn't that big of a hassle, just wondering if I'm overlooking something easier
 
I honestly didn't even know you could open multiple images in Camera Raw like this. Guess its only possible from Bridge which I never touch really
 
from Photoshop I just do File > Open then select multiple
 
hmm I might keep looking but nothing immediately jumps out at me.
 
that's in Lightroom?
 
1:21 PM
in Lightroom and CaptureOne there's "Virtual Copies" which I believe is what you're after
yeah
 
Snapshots, that thing I never touched
that should work fine for me I think
 
yeah not quite the same as Virtual Copy since you can't then change the settings in Snapshots but if it works for you then that's great
 
what settings can't you change?
 
nevermind I'm wrong again
 
well you showed me what I needed to search for, so thanks for the help :)
 
1:29 PM
lol sure thing
 
so for an image like that where stuff in the shadows is underexposed and the cliff face is a tad overexposed, am I on the right track with using luminosity masks to equalize the exposures?
 
I have a lot to learn about Lightroom and Camera Raw still. Having learned Photoshop first I barely touch them. Lightroom didn't even exist when I learned Photoshop
yeah you can do that
could also consider the channels. since the rock face is heavy in the Red channel and the foreground is heavy in the Green channel that would be another thing to consider utilizing
 
cool, will check it out
on a sunny day that is a very common problem when taking shots at the bottom of the crag so I'm hoping to get a nice streamlined workflow
 
for sure my advice though is to be subtle about it
 
1:44 PM
John's Daily Deals: Trade Gothic Complete Family $̶2̶,̶0̶8̶3̶ $299
 
that is quite the markdown
 
@JohnB do you know if there is a way to sort Unanswered questions?
 
buuut still way more than I could spend on fonts
@Ryan possibly, what are you looking for?
 
haha yeah it's too much for me right now too. I would get it if I was employed :P
or freelance
 
just wanted to see Unanswered questions with the most views and most votes
 
1:50 PM
for most views you'd have to go to the Data Explorer, most votes you can search for
 
how do I get to Data Explorer? How do I do the most votes even? :\
 
most votes with zero answers: graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/…
I'm checking if there's an existing Data Explorer query
 
how come if I change your search to "answer:1" it switched from Votes to Relevance?
and it shows me questions with more than one answer
 
possibly an oversight, that is annoying
I think that means "at least 1 answer"
yeah, for any non zero number it's a X+ search
 
Im just trying to find something interesting to either answer or bounty
can I specify a search to only show QUestions in the results instead of Questions and Answers?
 
1:57 PM
yeah add is:question
 
@Ryan you can add tags too, for example for questions with no answers in the tag 'Illustrator' use: answers:0 is:question [adobe-illustrator]
 
yeah I'm getting the hang of it got the query "theory is:question answers:0" right now
 
Here is a query for high traffic questions that do not have any positive score answers: data.stackexchange.com/graphicdesign/query/518875/…
hrm, that includes duplicates which is not particularly useful
 
you can narrow down the date range if you only want recent Q's
created:1m for example gives you only last month's questions
 
high traffic questions that are unclosed and don't have a positive score answer: data.stackexchange.com/graphicdesign/query/518878/…
 
2:05 PM
please don't discuss witchcraft in this chatroom
 
hahah
 
:P
 
@Ryan nice video
@Ryan is it too early to request shoutouts in your videos =P
 
@Darth_Vader hah yeah in a 60 second video I don't even shoutout my own site/channel
but happy to hear it answered your question
not worth a bounty but I might answer this one graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/3452/…
 
2:22 PM
@Ryan you should, instance promo
@Ryan I just thought it be a cool video
 
@Darth_Vader instance promo huh?
 
ys everytime you do a video and you mention your site it may lead to more traffic
 
I'm not really worried about that yet especially in the 60 second tutorials. In the longer ones I have my website in the corner of the video
 
sorry after working with sales people I've always though when you mention and watermark everything you do it could lead to more hits..
 
I've got various metrics in mind. Directing people to my website is really quite low on the list
 
2:43 PM
@JohnB why would game make a difference?
 
I've never seen texture files separated like that, is it common? I'm more curious about the game engine than the game
It's interesting that the images look more like C M and Y rather than R G and B
where's our resident 3D expert @GiantCowFilms
> The game in question is Toy Story 2 from 2003
wow :P
 
I don't know if they're RGB. I get different results but I don't usually do stuff like this so my process might not be right
Pretty sure I did it correctly though but my result is different from the expected
 
how did you arrive there?
 
3:02 PM
took the Red channel from the Red tile. The Green channel from the Green tile. and the Blue Channel from the Blue tile and combined them
 
smart
 
I was researching similar for 2-Strip and 3-Strip color grading in Photoshop but that uses CMY -- ditspot.net/3-strip-technicolor-look-in-davinci-resolve
 
3:26 PM
free house till the 19th
party at mine :3
...not.
you guys will be my only contact with the outside world ;(
 
4:01 PM
@JohnB Hello, the bovine has been summoned!
My guess for that image is that other channels are being used to store other data, so you need to split all those images into their RGB componenets and see which channels are useful

Anyone opposed to hammering this? graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/75094/…
 
 
1 hour later…
7:36 PM
@Ryan four downvotes I say why not
 
@Darth_Vader Unclear reason or Too broad reason?
 
broad I would
a script and an action are two different things
 
done
 
oh the power
 
I really think I'm going to get that Windows Laptop. Such a scary thought after all these years to go back to Windows on my home computer
 
7:51 PM
which one? I ended ordering that 300 dollar one from Best Buy
 
8:23 PM
@Ryan that's expensive to me but Im biased to Mac
 
uh what? how's that expensive compared to a new mac
 
depends but I think with an quarter time frame you've talked about a tablet, monitor and desktop so I dont know what your goal is.
 
well for one thing you completely avoided how its more expensive to you compared to a new mac
I plan to get a monitor as well still but it has to be put on back burner probably until like Tax Return 2017 cause I wasn't expecting the tutorial videos to be so hard on my laptop's processor
I might get a monitor sooner anyways but unfortunately a new laptop jumped to the front of the list as a result of the constraints Im facing
 
what model are you thinking for the yoga
 
Any of them really. I don't see any P40 Yoga that's more expensive than a comparable Macbook
 
8:30 PM
i was all for mac purely cus of the transition to affinity suite but now i dont think ill bother
 
oh woops thought that was Darth responding
 
let me know how it goes
ill be upgrading in a few months hopefully
 
still trying to find out how much of the sRGB it covers natively. Reading different reports. At home since I plan to still get a monitor in the near future its no big deal but until I get that monitor and when I'm traveling it would be nice if its at least decent
now Im trying to figure out why @Darth_Vader says its expensive compared to Mac
 
@Ryan still reading but good to know. You've been across the board so trying to understand your intent
@Ryan compared to all the talks I was unsure what you wanted. We've discussed several options and I thought you said a week or so ago you were buying a monitor. I guess you didnt.
 
15 days ago I finally made my first tutorial and discovered its taking 3 or 4 hours to process the video on my old laptop. That's not acceptable so my plans in the immediate changed
 
8:37 PM
but for real estate size and RAM I still think an iPad would have been better. Though I typically scout macsales for a used so it isn't a major hike on price
 
the Thinkpad P40 Yoga is a laptop not a tablet
 
@Ryan ah gotcha. lets run a test.. You have an ipad yes or no?
 
its got a dedicated graphics card and Wacom AES built in
not really (technically someone gave me an old one that I've never even turned on)
 
is portability important?
 
not the most important aspect
 
8:40 PM
the wacom digitizer will be nice :3
what are the pressure levels?
 
2048
 
oh i want one now
i said id get a slimmer laptop after this one (mine is very hefty) but im not sure how important it is now that im not dragging it to college everyday
 
I'm still trying to understand why Darth said its expensive though. I've got the Mac site open and the cheapest laptop with an i7 would be the 13" MBP upgraded to i7 at $1,599
 
i think for the next one, ill be focusing on display, ram speed and probably go for faster core i5 instead of an i7. i'm now on a low i7 and i guess i dont use too many apps at the same time
 
I don't know what I'm missing
 
8:46 PM
he's just trying to lure you to the dark side :P
that was the fastest week trial of cc ever ;( guess ill start tomorrow for a month
 
9:06 PM
 
9:22 PM
I love when JavaScript passes testing..
@Ryan you have macsales open?
eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/4II7CXXD8GD and upgrade the RAM to possible 24gb you are about 500 less than what you purposed at the top but that is up to you. If you're not trying to go portable you can use the other 500 for another monitor or tablet.
 
9:40 PM
I said new. And that thing has an i3. That's slower than my current processor
 
9:52 PM
ah, ok
 
10:10 PM
@Darth_Vader what should be done with questions like this?

Q: Convert Clipped Item Into Normal Path In Inkscape?

user56336I created a demi-circle with the clipping feature, but it shows up as a group of two items. Like this: But i just want a normal path, could i do this anyway?

it's a misleading question, as for the OP's situation the answer is not what they asked. In other words they didn't understand their app/problem well enough
should it be edited to fit the answer?
