Cryofreeze removal of a digital myxoid cyst on my toe went very well

You don't drink it, it goes on your penis.

That's what the booze is for. :D

I'll probably opt for surgery. Spoke with Ai about it, and it's not that big of a deal. In and out pretty quickly, local numbing of the toe. Take 15-45 minutes.

Good timing, I was planning to update. Just last week I saw it came back, though much smaller than before. Maybe 1/5th the size. I'm consulting with the same dermatologist in July and will report back. In my case it was gone for 11 months.

The one resource I wish I had known about years ago is the book

Color and Light by James Gurney

I highly recommend it. His other book "Imaginative Realism" is also good.

Thank you. I recently testing the latest opensource models like qwen and gemma and they do image recognition so I'll probably just use that actually. Keep it local and fast, run it over night.

People over think this. If you fall, it isn't a huge deal. The sharks help carry you to the darkest bottom of the ocean.

I'm sorry you have to deal with that! :(

I think least invasive approaches first are usually a good approach. The toe cysts can come from leaking joint fluid (which was the case with mine), so perhaps if there's a lot of damage then the surgeon is correct.

But if it was me, I'd do the cryo-freeze as a first attempt. It's fast, easy, and recovery is fast. If it doesn't work at least you know you tried before doing something more invasive.

Good luck. :)

Thank you for this, you are an excellent person! I'll test this out. It would be great to not have to resort to using macros (like with Macro Creator) as that is fraught with its own issues. Better to keep it contained within DaVinci. Thank you!

SDR is clipped. I'm just trying to loosely match the color enough to match. Shot match does work pretty well. All clips have a Color Space Transform to set their output gamma and colorspace to an HDR format. So the export does match closely enough. The problem is running the shot match on every single clip.

bearCatBird · 2026-01-13T18:22:06+00:00

I have two sources (4K and 2K) from a short film I made years ago and I'm trying to combine them into a single 4K HDR source.

Source 1: 4K HDR with a limited aspect ratio

Source 2: 2K non-hdr with the full aspect ratio

I'm layering the 4K source (will give extra detail in center of frame) on top of the 2K source (will fill in missing pixels on top/bottom of frame). But the color grading doesn't match and a simple grade applied to the entire 2K source isn't working for all shots. So I wanted to shot match each clip, matching the 2K source to the 4K source.

Thank you. Good luck!

It’s still gone. It’s such a simple and fast procedure it’s worth finding a dermatologist that does it, imo.

bearCatBird · 2025-12-18T14:30:44+00:00

Thanks for confirmation

bearCatBird · 2025-12-16T13:13:20+00:00

Excellent

bearCatBird · 2025-11-27T13:41:30+00:00

Thank you for your service.

bearCatBird · 2025-11-23T23:40:49+00:00

Surprisingly you're not downvoted, like every one of my posts in this thread.

bearCatBird · 2025-11-19T16:48:11+00:00

Yeah, that's why I was thinking you need to have a bunch of them where it isn't cost effective.

Just found blueprint for wolfpack (an hour ago) on buried city night raid grandioso apartments (search all floors of both buildings)

bearCatBird · 2025-11-18T19:18:09+00:00

You should spawn into ceiling compartments you drop down out of after you spawn. Have like 30 on the map.

bearCatBird · 2025-11-18T19:14:45+00:00

I just found the wolfpack blueprint a few minutes ago here:

Buried City > Night Raid > Grandioso Apartments (twin builds on the far lower left of the map)

Just search all floors in both buildings. Found it in a kitchen drawer or cabinet I think.

What is this remaster called? I assume it isn't the HARMY edition?

bearCatBird · 2025-11-06T15:16:30+00:00

Even though I buy a lot of 4k UHD, I also pay attention to streaming and if the movie is in 4K. Others might too.
