Thanks :)

I was tempted to, but then decided to leave it as is.

Some really good tips in there.
But cleaning the lens?
Give me a break - this should be an automatic thing to do ever time.

My cam has a horizontal line, that helps to keep the picture leveled, so I don't need to do a thing.
Won't install lightroom, but that's just me.

One thing I will try is to bright up the screen and see, if there will be any difference.

All the other tips, nothing new for me, but for sure helpful for many!

Btw. this is a mobile shot

I just wish, I could use any of this for my mobile.
Maybe I can, I really have to go into the settings and see, what is possible --- until I can spoil myself with a new Olympus, after selling the farm  8)

If it matters ... it matters / Re: daz selling obvious AI crap
Easy explained, you won't train AI with AI crap, cause it can only get worse.
Some say, this way, AI will kill itself exactly this way, by training itself with itself, so in he end, the user will get useless crap answers and products and pictures --- well crap on anything.

It's sneaking it's way in at daz, at rosity and anywhere else.
It's just a matter of time, that the stores will become obsolete and the vendors as well.

Get yourself some Champagne and Caviar, sit back and enjoy the show  :))
A Coke and Popcorn will do as well  8)

Btw. if you know people, who would like to join here, you are free to invite them  :)

+ $173.64 shipping

Well, it seems, I have one more reason to sell this farm  8)

Daz Studio / Lights in daz studio
Centuries ago I bought a pool at rosity, a Poser product, so you can imagine, what that means for daz studio.
Lots of work


I changed a lot of materials (marble and metals, water and more) but most important and tricky was the light.
Used a mirror with emission settings, since it's a studio product, but the ceiling needed work.
First implied an emission shader (Poser didn't had it back then, don't know about now) the luminance with 2.900 was ways too low, so I pushed it up. Still not ready to render, and in the render settings I changed the Tone Mapping to a not so white white (0.80 for all 3 values) and the by default value 13 for Exposure went down to 10.
After the render I slightly changed the Curve Point a tiny little bit higher.

I like the outcome  8)

It amazes me, that no special settings on the cam are necessary to get such a result.
Let me say it with Spock: Fascinating!

If you would be a salesman for Olympus, I bet you would the best sellers from all!

Olympus has been my favorite since ever, got my first over 30 years ago.

About the photo, I really love the light, gives the wood a touch of cherry tree (or maybe it is cherry tree?)
Wonderful soft and clean, just beautiful.

If it matters ... it matters / Dr. Roman Yampolskiy - a serious warning about AI
Dr. Roman Yampolskiy

It's long, 1.5 hours and I stopped at 21 minutes to put the link in here.
The scary part about the video is not, what he is saying, but that I've said so from almost the beginning with public AI.

In one point at the beginning he is wrong.
There is a Sci-Fi taking AI driven robots with in.
It's The Orville
Quote
The primary robotic species in The Orville is the Kaylon, a humanoid race of artificial lifeforms from the planet Kaylon-1 who were originally created as servants by biological beings known as the "Builders." The Kaylon overthrew their creators after enduring systematic abuse and pain simulators, leading them to conclude that all organic life is inherently cruel and must be eliminated.

And man, were they after the humans to kill them all.

Well, not sure, if I can listen to the end today, already freaking tired, but this interview/podcast really got me on the hook.
