A photo editing program writes me for years after a one-day trial.
"dear sir/ma'am" I don't know whether to pity them or resent their form-letter attitude, their endless search for my dollar.
So anyway, another year is almost gone, and what have I done with my photo-editing software?
Nothing.
I want a package that enhances like on all cop shows everywhere.
Abby Sciuto or her friend can magnify and clarify a small section of a photo, automatically, "instantly" (They actually take one or two seconds, to make it more realistic)
This is nearly the same as that crime scene investigator entering a room and finding a microscopic piece of detritus she then holds up to the tightly focused camera.
So it's effect, not real, but, can't they even attempt it?
You-know, AI the crap out of a blurry 1962 photo to remove blurry and add sharp?
O, and blow it up as big as in the movie "High Anxiety."
Unfortunately there are guys online who take incredibly huge photos of nothing as if it in itself is meaningful (it is not.)
They will, at the drop of a hat, launch into photography lectures and use special terminology....
I don't want such a photo program, and if I remember to, I cut my photos down to 640x480.
Sharpening blurriness never works.
The stuff I idolize is, brightness, contrast, color. and resize-ability.
The end
Well yeah, but to get the good stuff you scoop up the boring/bombastic...
The image was originally edited (I think) to prove a point, and in my very amateurish attempt
to clean up the file (*buffs fingernails*) you can actually see the section they edited (it looks a little like green smoke)
The above picture has too much green.
Then I turned down green and was left with too much red.
So I lowered the red.
It isn't perfect, but it's better:
Zilllllions grew up with tiny striped pictures (no not the picture, the stripes ... o nvm)
Add at least one more thing I like but very rarely use: Color curves.
Gimp (cuz it's free and Linux-leaning) comes highly recommended (or advertised, IDK)
Irfanview (It showed up, like some stray cat.)
It seems to do everything I'd want, but it is way too early to tell.
Nice kitty
Also *this* page showed up for googling cop-show photo enhancement.
Is it real, is it only special effects, is it (like on this link) just good salesmanship??
The photographer in the show you just woke up from falling asleep to,
buys a zillion dollar camera to photograph lizards catching flies with their tongue, at 200x resolution, from 1000 yards away.
Yes-yes, very nice, (how much was all that gear, how many donors did it take to purchase?)
The narrator mumbles on, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Not that you asked:
A whole slew of programs want to help your productivity, like real nice strangers wanting to inspect your property for unknown reasons.
OK so the neighbors are nosy.
But online programs might be more nefarious: What are you writing about, what are your spreadsheets for, etc? How can companies sell this information to advertisers to create more targeted advertising?
How can Trump and the USG weed out "undesirables"? add your own definition for "undesirable".
Well anyway, to continue being a small pebble in a really large pond, *I* think that online software is dangerous and stupid, and the patrol-software they use to protect stuff is especially targeted by hackers.
But I'm old, not trendy.
I rarely give out my home address, though I have to, sometimes.
I try to use software offline, which is nearly impossible (updates, templates, registration, proof of license)
Yeah-ok the world is a dangerous place, why make it more so? 3am jaunts to the store (OK so I'm not all that careful...........) carrying a gun on the 3am jaunt (now we're getting into tv drama dangerous)
Carry a "banana" says the commercial... Or JUST STAY Home!
Johnny can wait 3 hours for his whooping cough meds, ... OK Fine.
Just this once.
The guy in the video had a point, but he never got to it, I shut it down before it could finish.
It has a very confusing title too.
IDK, watch it, maybe it's good.
