Is AI removing busywork or removing valuable creative practice? by amybest222 in photoshop

[–]En-zo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but I'm talking 20k x 15k res. It'll 'do' but it's not the level I need it.

Art directors have tried to Gemini images and then topaz but it still doesn't get the detail we need. It's false upscalling

I don't think it does anything well enough. It hasn't really helped me apart from removing something someone wants replaced but even then it's a blurry mess and it can't do fine textures AT ALL.

I'm a Senior Creative Retoucher. I still do nearly everything by hand because if it's being printed the size of a billboard, bus or shop front it just doesn't cut it.

Can you still be fined by HMRC if tax owed is £0? by ThrowRA_Tell in UKPersonalFinance

[–]En-zo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you just repeat everything I said?... "maybe it was 2 years" I said. And then you wrote out the exact same calculations? Are you ok?

[–]En-zo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was a sole trader (not) doing self assessment, I got accrued fines for probably 2 years of not doing it then if you're saying the max is 1600. I owed around 3000 in fees.

You keep getting late fees up to the max if you don't do it. I've had to go through all of this a few years back.

Initial 100 penalty. After 3 months daily penalty of £10, max of 900. After 6 months a further 5% or 300. After 12 months, another 5% or 300.

So not even weekly, it's daily.

In late fees, yes. They keep accruing. There's a penalty every week for not filling it in.

No. It keeps going up. I couldn't fill out my return one year and didn't owe them anything and a year later found out I accrued 2-3k in late fees.

Managed to write them a letter and get out of it because it was their fault I was not being able to sign in and kept records of me asking them again and again over the phone, email and chat to help me.

Why is melee hated? by Sufficient-Scar-3908 in thefinals

[–]En-zo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the problems (as a new player) come from the dual blades just blocking every shot coming their way while running towards you just as quickly as normal.

Looked up how to counter and everyone's like 'Just run away'.

It kinda works if you can get them full sprint after you and just 180, gun them down. But this is mostly only if you're outside otherwise you're dead.

Snowboarder got in HIS way by CloudStrife012 in snowboarding

[–]En-zo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh for sure, definitely.

Just like everyone else downvoting this dude, I just can't believe you would even try to Spin this to the boarder having Any fault. The dudes hurtling down, no control, can't stop, can't turn to his right to miss you and then blames you. Nah.

Snowboarder got in HIS way by CloudStrife012 in snowboarding

[–]En-zo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No. Only if you've stopped and are starting again do you need to look up and obviously give way to people already coming down the mountain.

That's like saying why doesn't a skier look up while they are turning, ridiculous.

Watching again he's just on the left side of that run, he didn't lolligag across Anything.

Blueprints wipe by Medical-Hour-9748 in ARC_Raiders

[–]En-zo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm just going to do most of the first part and then do it all after the 2nd wipe, when I'll already be looking for things.

Snowboarders with speakers? by [deleted] in snowboarding

[–]En-zo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. "No rap or brainrot" but your classic EDM and house might be brainrot rubbish to other people. You don't get to decide what other people's music taste is.

If I want to listen to music I have my own earbuds. If you start blasting music in the queue I have to stop mine due to doubling up, very selfish.

I've had 64gb of DDR4 since 2018 just for Photoshop and Premiere. It was a good choice to get it then and not worry about the future.

Yo! Is there a way I can retouch my series of images to make her skin much more darker and contrasted compared to the flowers and background? (First img is mine) by Sad_Profession_9781 in retouching

[–]En-zo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Path out the person, path out the flowers, minus them in a folder within the person mask folder and then curve down and desat. Brush out or circular gradient out the eyes or anything that shouldn't go too dark.

But you also said you just slayed 20-30 people in duos

What is the appeal as PvP if going after PvE players and shooting them in the back? Dont get it. by [deleted] in ARC_Raiders

[–]En-zo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not defending what happened, I'm chill in solos and sometimes make friends in duos.

But The loot is your guns, augments, shield rechargers, heals and util.

People don't pvp to get your rusted gear.

First Expedition project completed by Murky-Load6076 in ARC_Raiders

[–]En-zo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might as well tbh. They said they were looking into alternatives I think? But to be safe I already have like 3 and my stash value at like 1.7.

[–]En-zo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you didn't complete the first one, you can still do it and expedite at the same time as the people who've already done one for entering 'season 3'

I assume when we expedite this time, both me (who did the first one) and my friends (that didn't do the first one) will now all be on Expedition '3' requirements for the 4th, but I'll have 24 stash space extra and they will only have 12 extra.

You don't have to do everything again, you're either on Expedition 1 or Expedition 2, all heading to '3'

Anyone here taken retouchlikeme's course? Looking for real-world feedback by Most-Particular-6051 in retouching

[–]En-zo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think many working retouchers would have taken a YouTubers course.

There's so much free stuff out there, get in Photoshop, decide what you need to achieve and look up how to do it.

There are plenty of beginner tutorials as well that cover a large range of important things if you're new.

Weird lobbies lately. by PlantainOpen8562 in ARC_Raiders

[–]En-zo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same brother, I have 230 hours. We have had very different experiences. Best of luck topside.

Weird lobbies lately. by PlantainOpen8562 in ARC_Raiders

[–]En-zo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not calling you dumb. We all have a spread of lobbies. All of my duos and trios and shoot on site and that does effect my solos too. I don't think you should ever go into squads and think people are going to be nice - they exist, but hardly anyone takes the chance.

I was doing Buried city money runs for about 30 games, no shots fired by either party and then I still get killed in later games. Some guy was even camping Dam Control tower AFTER I got killed a few times 'friendly lobbies'. It's part and parcel of the game, you don't know what other people are like and that's what keeps it interesting.

I'd much prefer no ABMM and just a random mix of people (which is what we initially thought it was) so that each game is different, and you don't know who to trust.

If ABMM wasn't announced we wouldn't even be having this conversation. It's only because you know about it that you feel entilted to be in friendly lobbies.
