Random Thoughts

Trying out CopyParty on my linux dev machine which is notoriously hard to access files on. So far it’s awesome.

A photo from my walk Sunday morning.

I should probably edit the size of these things down as they’re 50mp which is WAAAAAAY overkill and takes forever to upload.

There’s been a bug with this post in the app for the HTML rendering.

Is it fixed?

Ok, looks like the bug is fixed. I’ll have to export a new pkg and put it up on my server.

I’ve had Pixelmator Pro or a long time but I use Photoshop more. Adobe has increased the price of Photoshop and Lightroom again so I’m contemplating dumping it. Two years ago I made the decision to dump Creative Suite and go to Affinity apps. Affinity Photo is good but I’m more comfortable with Photoshop and Lightroom.

Here’s a photo that was editing using Photomator, the Apple version of Lightroom.

I should note that photo was completely black except for the lights. In Photomator I was able to pull everything up without it looking too overdone and HDR.

Why does that one young lady look so well exposed when other faces are dark? She’s standing in front of Ramone’s and is lit by the neon sign. If you notice other people in the background have a similar effect by virtue of being under Flo’s V8 Cafe’s lights. The one group just behind the girl happens to be facing away from the lights.

I’ve been encountering ftp issues after I uploaded the 50mp files. I reduced their file size then replaced them in the posts and picture uploader. That “kinda” seemed to work but I ended up manually removing and replacing them on the ftp server. They were exceeding the timeout limit on the ftp. This may be something specific to my host.

Anyway, that seems to have fixed the ftp issue.

Just beware if you’re uploaing images to scale them properly before hand.
