"Pixel" always confuses me whenever I do web banner work.
I use CorelDraw x5 for my work. I usually prefer to use inches rather than pixels as inches are much intuitive for me. But when I do an "Inch to Pixel" conversion, i get confused.
In CorelDraw: 1 inch = 300px.
At AuctionRepair.com: 1 i...
There are lots of other questions on Graphic Design which partly cover this, e.g. What DPI should be used for what situations?.
However, I have become frustrated at the number of questions and answers which confuse the two terms. I think understanding the difference is important.
So here's a pl...
[Before anyone points it out, I've already read the answer to this question, and it was only after I read that, that I wonderd about my current question. So it's not a duplicate!]
I'm trying to understand the difference between PPI, DPI, Pixels, Dots and resolution. And so far, I've got a massiv...
But in this chaotic existential void that we call "reality" who can really say what a pixel is? Or pose a question that can truly be answered, at all? @joojaa @PieBie
Being totally professional, sexual toughts should be far away from a photographer during photoshoots. But it happens every now and then, either because the model is particularly sexy, or because the model herself knows she is sexy and like to tease the photographer (happens only with unprofession...
I was too slow because of that stupid photography question and just got around to posting my photo for today. Not sure how well it'll perform, I usually try to post between 8:00-8:15 my time. Its 8:50 here now
Now I'm getting downvotes by a guy that posted its a serious issue as he was getting aroused by bridesmaids before and tries to solve to issue be wearing something to cover his erection hahahahahaha
I still don't see how your answer is a Stack-level response. It's just judgement that leaves me wondering why you're writing an 'answer' instead of flagging the question.
Whether Russell is right or wrong, crazy or not, he could take his comments and provide an actionable solution based on real experience with similar situations.
@Ryan Like I said at the very beginning, "opinion-based" would be a decent close reason. And you say you find the question offensive, which is a flag reason.
I'm not touching on the content at all, just on how the Stack operates, what sorts of things make for good answers, and what kinds of responses other than answers are provided for citizens who find a question worrisome.
Its that it makes me worrisome that a proper response needs to be given IMO. The solution and what is bizarre to me about Russells' comments is to show maturity and restraint
Russell in his weird comments even says this. "I have found that age and experience have made this a non-issue." - Russell
How do you do that? What are some strategies? This is stuff that my 200-level life drawing class touched on with practical actionable suggestions more than you are.
And that class was seriously flakey.
I don't see how chastising someone for asking for help with a problem that really does need to be addressed is helping.
You're telling the guy he's got a problem. He knows he's got a problem, or he wouldn't be asking. So you're starting out by lecturing him on stuff he already knows.
Then you quote another answer's solution and comment on how it's useful.
Then you go off with a series of rhetorical questions on a topic that is really for the meta page and has no place in a mainsite answer.
And you conclude by saying the question itself is concerning.
Not the subject of the question, the challenge the querent is facing, but the question--which is hard to read, especially in light of everything coming before it, in any way except as a chastisement of the querent for asking the question.
I think it's also useful to note that if "work in a field that doesn't interact with the opposite sex until they learn restraint" is your answer, you don't actually say it.
They seem to be more interested in if the model is coming on to them. If they reword it to say that the answer would also be obvious, "Excuse yourself from the situation if the model is making you uncomfortable"
@BESW "You need to grow up and possibly change professions until then."

Thank you for being open to criticism.
So many of the Stack's guidelines on what makes for good questions and answers seem kinda draconian at first but they're derived from hard-won experience. I've found that about 80% of the time when a post is fraught with drama because of its topic, applying generic Stack Q&A guidelines helps drill down to what the problem is in general terms that don't need to deal with the specific topic in question.
Well my concern is Photo.SE is very lax to what is on topic regarding photography IMO and that question concerns me enough about women's safety that it needed to be said.
You're right my answer isn't really helpful though and more doing what I just said in chat --- telling the person to stay away from women.
I hope they close it but I honestly doubt they will
In this case, it sounds like the person is asking an artificially broad question (arousal during model photography) rather than asking about the specific problem they're facing (difficulty dealing with flirty models).
and the answer then is easy - excuse yourself from it if the model or anyone else is making you feel uncomfortable and telling them didn't change their behavior.
One of the hard-won learnings of the Stack is that artificially broad questions get vague answers that are useless to everyone, while good answers to extremely specific questions are often useful to people in many similar situations.
lol seriously im very annoyed....given the context of the session and what we discussed...to then suggest that I was shallow or something really upset me :(
I got an email asking me to change my Amazon password but I never trust those things aren't phishing scams. It seems legit because its not letting me login to Amazon now
Nah I got a deal, now its 14.09 but when I ordered there was link, "6 more at $6.00" or something like that so I ordered from that. Looks like that price is gone now.
its deep down on my list of things to get but its on there
I almost ordered filters yesterday but they won't arrive in time for what I wanted anyways so waiting until until probably November to order those
of course a big reasn for even ordering those is a trip I have to Northern cali coming up that I now don't know if I should really do. :| Wish I knew someone out there to stay with, looks like AirBNB will be around $500 if I want to stay after the conference
I have anoher conference in Texas the following week so was hoping to stay in Nortern Cali until hen instead of crossing back home first but would have to be able to afford 5 nights. Maybe can get company to pay for 2 but that still leaves me with 4 :(
I joined a long time ago but never ended up using it. Its not as popular now because so many jumped ship at the chance to rent their place on AirBNB instead but its still used. I hear there's other communities that have come up for couchsurfing now as well basically keeping the concept and community alive even if couchsurfing.com doesn't have their best interests at heart
What is the difference between points and pixels?
