I think the image looks a bit flat. There’s a setting in Darktable for Chroma, maybe bump it up a bit? Play around with that. I usually have to give it a hefty bump on my animal shots, or else they just have this flat-grey feeling to them.

The way all the colors are around the person really draws the eyes in.

I judge your monitor setup favorably

Please don’t ascribe emotions to me, as I don’t ascribe emotions to you. I do not foam at the mouth over anything EA says because I don’t listen to or care about what EA says; I don’t play EA games.

Just as a bit of a sanity check for both of us, can you tell me what Wube’s reasoning is?

It seems to me that, if you’re not willing to read their reasoning for it, not willing to pirate it, not willing to play the free demo, then you’re not actually interested in playing Factorio. You’re just here to start shit.

His episodes are just him being right over and over and us refusing to listen

Did you vibegraph those lines?

You know they wrote like a whole article about why they don’t put it on sale and it’s not about it being ‘beneath’ them?

You know they’ve gone on record and encouraged piracy, and they have a free demo if you’re still not convinced to just try it?

No it has not

It is speculation from an unauthorized reseller who is guessing.

Yes, haha. It’s been fun taking close-ups of random things and looking at all the things we can’t normally see.

They were told they couldn’t shoot them once they were in the water, so…

My workflow is importing my whole SD card to Darktable after a shooting session, which is somewhere in the hundreds, infrequently nearing a thousand. It grinds to a halt until it’s done importing, and slows down significantly when I’m doing a lot of processing to a single image, but it has never ever crashed or really threatened to crash.

I use the Flatpak version.

What unholy incantations are you performing in Darktable for it to crash?

If you liked that blurp and want more, Exurb1a wrote several (vaguely connected) books on the matter. I cannot tell you anything more without spoiling it.

I wrote a whole message for you and it was there and then it wasn’t. I don’t know what to tell you besides that.

well if you’re gonna delete my responses to the guy who replied to me I’ll delete the contents of this message too fuck you I’ll ruin the whole conversation

People are downvoting this because they don’t want to acknowledge that they live in a selfish shit culture that values and rewards hoarding wealth above all else, the precursor condition to enshittification of services. You might not personally, downvoting person, but don’t be blind to the world around you. It will only get worse until you acknowledge it.

I understand the physics of the situation, but I don’t get why none of the reviewers have pointed out that strange pixel artifacting, which is really the thing I’m most bothered by. I can deal with a noisy, low quality image, but it just seems like there’s some broken post-processing going on.

Thanks for Nothing!
