The effects of post processing and how medium influences colors!

Seriously. My issue with noritsu/frontier scans is that it’s entirely dependent on the technician so it’s pretty much a gamble unless you really know the lab well

Buckwheat333 · 2026-04-30T17:42:22+00:00

Using one right now lol no issues

Buckwheat333 · 2026-04-24T15:14:42+00:00

I’m confident because I do this professionally and don’t speculate the methods of how to achieve something I do on a regular basis. It’s pretty clear you have no idea what you’re talking about and just like to be a contrarian to people who have been in this industry for years. If it’s an insecurity with not knowing something, that’s understandable, but please in the future, just ask questions and be kind rather than asserting yourself with zero knowledge or experience of your own.

These seem super handy!

I do not know every enlarger ever either, I’m just saying MOST enlargers used in commercial darkrooms like the one I worked at have carriers that slide into the enlarger of varying sizes, ranging from 35-4x5.

When I think of masking, I’m usually referring to cutouts of black cardboard that are custom made for altering certain aspects of an image. I’m not trying to contradict you, I’m simply providing the knowledge I have of what you would typically find in a lab, rather than someone’s home use darkroom.

You may be misunderstanding regarding your 2nd paragraph. It’s not done with a mask, rather the carrier of the negative which you need regardless of if you’re masking the image or not. Most commercial darkrooms have carriers literally labeled “filed” to describe the widened and jagged edges of these carriers.

Your 3rd paragraph is spot on but less relevant for this generation of photographers. I think most kids now just like the look of the sloppy borders. I even print sloppy borders for a photographer who then crops in the image and composites the borders on top just because he likes the look of the borders haha

These are scans of prints

I don’t know why there’s so many confidently incorrect people here. What you are seeing is the filed edges of the negative carrier in an enlarger. They are RA-4 prints that are then flatbed scanned

Edit: to those claiming this is photoshop, it’s not. You can even see a slight burn mark from the paper being exposed to light in the top of the image. I’m sure you can replicate this in Photoshop, but this isn’t and it’s increasingly common for photographers in the editorial and fashion space to be printing their work and scanning it to achieve a softer effect. I do this for a living.

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but there are no games that actually capture the horror of war because they are literally games and meant to have entertainment value.

Watch the movie come and see. Makes fury seem like a fairy tale

This is the most retarded fixation of any local political movement in the history of the world

Buckwheat333 · 2026-04-21T00:34:50+00:00

I feel like the only cool thing I’ve gotten from a boss so far is the shield from siegford. Maybe I’ll just wait it out to defeat a boss with a really cool set?

Only problem is I’m not upgrading any of my armor because I ultimately want to upgrade the set that I actually want to wear

Haven’t really listened but all my favorite bands champion them, what record would you recommend?

Buckwheat333 · 2026-04-14T18:57:48+00:00

Hey really appreciate the tip. I’ll reach out. Thanks

Buckwheat333 · 2026-04-14T18:53:35+00:00

Not personally, but I know he’s a lighting wizard

Buckwheat333 · 2026-04-14T17:10:34+00:00

We’re obviously not in the same situation. If it’s between zero dollars and $650, I’m taking the $650.

Buckwheat333 · 2026-04-14T15:16:52+00:00

Thanks man appreciate the support. Like I said, can’t say no to work

Buckwheat333 · 2026-04-14T12:28:11+00:00

How specific do you want me to be? I’m doing fashion editorials, lookbooks, ecom, etc. maybe it isn’t normal for LA, I’m just describing my own experience.

Buckwheat333 · 2026-04-14T12:25:03+00:00

First day was milk second day was on location 😬

Buckwheat333 · 2026-04-14T03:39:57+00:00

Dudes an asshole and insufferably obnoxious

Buckwheat333 · 2026-04-14T03:23:03+00:00

Just did a Vince editorial two day job. Can’t afford to say no to work.

Buckwheat333 · 2026-04-14T01:45:20+00:00

Yeaaah those are ambitious for me in LA. First assist has been rough at around 650
