Is there life on mars?

yes

Running out of things to do but study...

come up with a tutorial yet?

nope

was thinking food touchup would be an interesting diversion lol

rarely hear much about it

@Ryan Oh, the futility of it all... youtube.com/watch?v=i1HkzfnPPoU

lol that music

haha i love it. those videos are terrifying though - there are carnivorous plants that can eat rats and birds

I'm pretty confused by a post and not sure if I want to help or not

why confused

pretty sure that's a dupe but it would be heartless to close in this case i think

Why is there a copyright. Why is it from 3 years ago. And why is it from a site that I can't find anything with this message, story, or the name Coby on

hmm i dont know but look here juriannematter.nl/en/jurianne

yeah I did. And I see nothing about a Coby or death in the family. Its very strange to me

maybe that's the only image the user has of it

Why would a handwritten note to their son have a copyright on it at all though?

im always a bit naive with these things... guess im giving the op the benefit of the doubt

And I can see country and the person isn't from Netherlands

can mods see extra profile info :O

we can see IP Address which tells us Country of Origin generally and email used to signup. As of about a year ago it started to log when Mods look at any personally identifiable information

oh interesting

so my real name is visible

I dont know. I don't look if I don't have a reason to

If its your email then yes

I thought John Pharrell was a good cover lol

i need to start using my site email...the other one is getting embarrassing for important stuff

I see John Pharrell and similar as email

of course you did once like my post on facebook and if memory serves it was a completely different name but I don't even remember what it was

I'm awful with names

@joojaa ^ you might like this especially some of the applets

@JohnB hey you're alive!

nice long weekend?

hi! yeah, got some solid climbing in, how about you?

got a few photos in and practiced a little water coloring but mostly uneventful. Was raining a lot here

Since you're back - what do you make of this? graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/77144/…

I don't get the copyright

ehrm yeah wut

no idea, that's definitely odd considering the accompanying story

Hello.

hey joojaa

what's the majority?

@JohnB hey

@JohnB hey

Ah. Speaking of Apple, I'm looking forward to the iPhone announcement today, specifically for how they're going to spin the decision to nix the headphone jack

@Ryan will look it up as soon as my computer is up and running

No jack thinner phone.

thinner phone bendier phone :)

Yes.

Titan Pascal? :D

Otherwise im happy to use a mac even if the hardware is a bit outdated

No a Quaddro 6200

@johnp you're right, I should get on a real Stock site to see if I can earn a little extra from it. That sunflower photo was viewed over 5,000 times yesterday and downloaded 36 times. I don't know how that will translate once in a bigger pond and with fees attached but might be worth finding out

Someone is being told by their printer to only use 100% K even in Photos. Sounds to me like they need a new printer.

hey @DᴀʀᴛʜVᴀᴅᴇʀ

or not :\

@Cai I feel like I should be able to figure out a method that could work on color background too. I want there to be a method anyways. Might play with it more later tonight.

still better to retype it for higher resolution, but that's another issue entirely

@Ryan a solid color background you could probably do (although still harder than a white bg), but if it's over an image then it's not worth the effort

it's not just about resolution though, you should really send type as type (see yoriks comment)

yeah I know. I did say in the first line, "I would retype it, you'll get much better results"

Yeh I know :)

Think I just solved how to do it on a colored background, not too difficult actually. Photo would be really hard

yep its easily implemented on a solid colored background as well

@Ryan Yeah no harm in trying

oh yeah for sure. I just refreshed the page. Its now been viewed over 8000 times and downloaded over 50 times.

ermahgherd

in less than 24hrs

yep

I didnt realize Unsplash got that kinda traffic

what do you think of this logo

those sort of critical commenters annoy me, in any case ¬_¬

I think its a little overly simplistic but I don't know much about the company or brand to know why they may have gone that direction

I agree, but as far as logos go it's quite clear and functional, and the concept isn't bad either - package delivery + kangaroo. it's those keyboard critics i hate

i want to furrow my brow viciously at them

I love it

@DᴀʀᴛʜVᴀᴅᴇʀ sadanduseless.com/2016/09/mean-kittens/#AhPtPTEE12JfOA3A.01 lol

@Ryan just useless. . .

@DᴀʀᴛʜVᴀᴅᴇʀ lol but they're so cute

How was your long weekend?

long

Ah I've had that a few times, its not fun when you have to look at monitors after

Feeling better now?

@johnp think this will be my next tutorial graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/77141/…

drocs? drugs?

ya for pain

that's horrible @DᴀʀᴛʜVᴀᴅᴇʀ . I guess all you can do is try to keep your eyes hydrated. You can get an eye bath or mist spray that should at least prevent the problem from worsening

@Ryan looks like a good idea. that would be useful for removing paper textures also. you gunna do freq. seperation?

I use an ice pad for the swelling and laid down Friday and Saturday

@johnp you'll find out tonight! (or tomrorow if I don't finish tonight) :P

well glad you're feeling better :)

knew you'd say that :P

are you still working long shifts @DᴀʀᴛʜVᴀᴅᴇʀ

I already did it at work and I like the results

ya

I want to close that resource question, lol

we've got a few new members that seem to be fairly beginners. I imagine that's where some of the upvotes for it came from

but by all means if you want to close it, I wouldn't lose any sleep haha

...nevermind that I don't have any sleep to lose

what meanz....*sleep* ?

@Ryan This dog obviously isn't being vacuumed enough facebook.com/thebasicdoglife/videos/1056159841136897/…

arg, Apple's just announced wireless ear buds have a 5 hour battery life

gotta pass on that one there, Apple

surprised at that. would that be low on average for wireless earbuds these days?

lower than my $30 no name brand at least, and for $160 x.x

owch

any word on new computers from them????

otherwise i'm going Windows I guess

nope, iPhone 7/+ and a slightly upgraded watch

hehe

oooh I just discovered there's Giant Sequioa not far from where Ill be in northern cali. I didn't think I was going to get to see any

typed how old is - for that on google and how to grow a giant sequioa was suggested lol

ah yes growing a 3,000 year old tree. very practical

ill add it to the bucket list

So happy with how I pulled that one out of my brainhole

oh cool

colours have shifted a lot though

did you polarize the bright reflections somehow

colors have barely shifted

the brightness is more what changed because I had to for all the loss of contrast. The stucco was providing basically ISO noise. Had to somehow make up for its removal

yeah i meant that specifically

i like the hues in both versions

this is closer to how it would be without any shifts

imma give it a go too

ironically i feel like ive been using photoshop less since i subscribed to cc...¬_¬

and no I didn't use any polarization

figurative polarizing i mean :P removing the wall texture

mmm the colouring pencils i want are about 220 usd lol

until i can afford them im gunna get a cheapy chinese brand...

id love to work for caran d'ache just to have nice stuffs. or marry someone from there lol

i never heard of Holbein till now either

Uploaded the stock photo around this time yesterday. Its now been viewed a little over 13,000 times and downloaded 77 times.

let's say even a tiny fraction of those had to pay for a license of about 4-10 dollars for it...7x8 dollars....56$ :P

yummy money lensey screeny time

think about it Ryan, you have the editing skills and take some nice pics, why not try

Yeah I need to look into the different sites and get on one probably. Started looking at work but been a very busy week for me

And I just uploaded a photo I really like and seems like it was a terrible time to upload, only 4 views so far but oh well. I'm not deleting it again just to fish for more views

Uploaded to Instagram that is. I've had the best response on sunday evenings

i havent used stock photo sites in yonks but i had some credit on deposit photos which i thought was good for my kind of market i guess

i dunno if istockphoto is strict

I just need to research and figure out which to get on and sort out any legal requirements. Like really figure out what photos that involve people require a model release

I know crowds don't but not sure exactly what constitutes that

aye, there's a lot to research in the case of people pics. The floral shots would be nice to start with

the bokeh on your lens is quite nice btw, it's not noisey and has a nice shape to it

Used camera and used lenses, I just don't mind and even enjoy shooting manual. I wouldn't be able to afford the bokeh I get if I were shooting with fancy new lenses

oh wow, very cool. dont really see butterflies like that around here. though i dont leave the house lol. yeah the old lenses are worth it

i was embarrassed to learn about zone focusing recently. pretty sure i did know about it once, and forgot!

doesnt help at night though when you cant see the printed numbers

I never got very good at it but if I shot film I'd try it again
