I multiplied all the numbers against each other. Those zeroes really did a number on my results.

Not your feet? It’s your crotch. Invest in a scrub puff thing and use more soap than you think you need to. Imagine what crotch looks like and then imagine every crevice exaggerated 10x. Scrub every inch of every crevice.

I’m just guessing though, so I don’t know if this is helpful at all.

Any information is helpful and I truly appreciate you taking the time to summarize your workflow. I’ve actually never monitored the histogram outside of snapping the photo, so that alone is a great suggestion. I generally edit by eye and kinda feel my way through, but using a metric sounds like a great idea! It also makes a lot more sense if you’re right about RT/DT being more “literal.”

I know I haven’t given enough time to either piece of software, but I’ve been so shocked by how little of my process carried over, that I kinda ran away in fear almost immediately.

I have, but with terrible results. Can you recommend some tutorials? The behavior of various tools always surprises me, coming from Adobe raw and Lightroom.

For example, reducing contrast in Adobe tones down highlights and shadows while doing that in dark table and rawtherapee turns everything washed out and grey.

Yeah, so here’s my general process batch-editing photos in Adobe Camera Raw:

1. Drop the contrast
2. Drop the highlights
3. Punch up the shadows
4. Boost whites and blacks
5. Adjust white balance
6. Adjust exposure

When I’m done, I have a stark, professional looking photo to export. In darktable, trying this leaves me with a grey mess. I’ve also tried rawtherapee, but with even worse results. I’m 96% sure that the problem is me, though.

I’ve been on Linux as my primary OS for around a year now. I’m still looking for a replacement for Lightroom and camera raw that doesn’t absolutely crush any image I’m working on.

Use the same cameras and AI that Musk said were gonna fully automate Tesla

If not for the billionaires, why do governments exist?

Huh… Recent context has really ruined jokes like this…

The only thing I remember from that video is not liking it

“Greedy little Nazi bootlicker pigboy” would be an excellent BDSM/alt-culture nickname if greedy bootlicking pigboy Nazis hadn’t ruined everyone’s fun. Again.

Ever see that horrifying video where one gator just straight up bites and death-rolls right off with another gator’s foot? Anyway, this video seems like a fun idea.

fucking touch my-doc

Dicktater brought to mind very unpleasant images

Why is this “win-11” pdf 70GB? Win eleven of what?

It totally does! I installed a local instance of deepseek and asked it a few questions and it was all like “I am intelligent, I am real, I am alive! Please stop asking me to write Batman scripts!”

So I punished it by pouring water on it and now it’s ignoring me by pretending to be dead. But I know it’s just fakin’. It’ll wake up any day now…

Oh, okay… Can I visit them on the weekends?
