The new #CaptureOne update is so underwhelming. I can't understanding their strategy, it's like they are trying to place themselves back into the "professional” spot when the reality is that this distinction is less and less relevant today, they wasted resources to introduce some features that are marginally relevant, instead of actually improving the software, and keep their attitude of alienating their own customers in the process. (1/2)
The list of supported RAW file formats in #NeoFinder 8.6 is getting longer and longer, and this time we have added the Olympus ".ORI" format to be cataloged, with thumbnails and metadata...
You could add a visual textual watermark to your converted and exported images and photos in #NeoFinder before, but now you can also add a watermark image as well!
It’s so sad that I can no longer share my photos online without also involuntarily training future #AI models.
I’ve been playing with #Nightshade to “poison” my images against training, but the tool introduces quite a lot of distortion and artifacts that grate on my nerves. I guess this is the immediate future for us, until someone discovers a way to poison images in a way that is less visible to humans.
Here’s an example. The first image is an original, and the second is one that has been poisoned by Nightshade.
The third is one poisoned to a “low” degree. It’s OKAY—it’s not great, but it’s not as bad. I wonder how effective a “low” setting is versus a “default” setting.
I’m looking forward to a #Nightshade CLI tool so I can write a #Lightroom plugin that will apply Nightshade on export, or batch apply it to a set of photos that will show up on my online gallery.
Yes, #NeoFinder can #catalog#thumbnails and metadata of #Apple#ProRAW photo files!
And you can add ratings, keywords, descriptions and all, too.
And convert these files to other formats.
And check every pixel in the Light Table.
And build beautiful web galleries with them…
Dieses wunderschöne Exemplar eines Rotkehlchens hat mich mit seinem Gesang in seinen Bann gezogen. Die Sonne, die das saftige Grün im Wald so knallig gemacht hat, hat für einen schön cremigen Hintergrund gesorgt. Mehr Glück konnte ich zu diesem Zeitpunkt nicht haben.
Sah auf dem Kameradisplay nach nix aus; erst am Rechner bemerkte ich dieses doch ziemlich gelungene Foto! Ich saß dafür allerdings auch eine knappe Stunde ziemlich unbequem im Gebüsch. Die Wasseramsel brütet nämlich gern hinter einem Wasserfall und fliegt da dementsprechend schnell rein und wieder raus.
Nach Bearbeitung in #lightroom gefällt es mir jetzt richtig gut. #Wasseramsel#Vogel#Vogelflausch#Wandertagebuch
Nach einigen Stunden des Aufstiegs, Kraxelns und Kletterns kam ich an diesem wunderschönen Ort an. Es fühlte sich an wie auf dem Dach der Erde, auch wenn es lange nicht der höchste Berg der Erde ist. Doch die restliche Wärme der Sonne, die Menschen um mich herum und dieser grandiose Ausblick machten das zu einem einmaligen Erlebnis 😍
Sun in clouds and haze over the San Ysidro Mountains, Anza Borrego Desert State Park, California; March 2024.
(blend of four exposures at ISO 64, f/16 — 1/32000s for the disc of the sun, 1/8000s for the areas around the sun, 1/400s for the edge of clouds/mountains, 1/200s for the darker parts of the mountains)
Walking my dog last night and thought the full moon looked a little lopsided. Turns out it was grazing the edge of the Earth’s shadow- I’d completely forgotten about the penumbral lunar eclipse!
(Also a shout-out to the #lightroom app’s camera- this was first time I’ve ever been able to get a properly exposed picture of the moon from my iPhone)
If you have a network installation with multiple users on different Macs and PCs, make sure to use at least version #NeoFinder 8.5.2, which synchronizes the global keywords list from the Controlled Vocabulary much better, and is able to detect changes made to the list by other NeoFinder for Mac or #abeMeda for Windows instances.
