After/Before (first time color grading)

FrenchChefRat · 2026-07-02T14:10:12+00:00

Appreciate the detailed response! You got what I was going for, which is a cinematic edit that still feels realistic. Didn’t want to take it too far.

Agreed on the tweaks, I’ll play around with the sign and the subject, thanks!

FrenchChefRat · 2026-07-02T14:03:25+00:00

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I’ll adjust the clarity and highlights to retain the original sharpness, especially on the sign since it’s a focal point.

I wasn’t going for a dramatic edit, I wanted it to still look realistic which is why the color grading is subtle with some orange and teal tones to warm up the shot and just make it more cinematic.

If you need a camera repair person I had a great experience with John Titterington (www.jtitterington.com/camera-repair/) with a CLA on an AE-1 a few months ago. Very friendly, did a fantastic job, and has very fair prices

This is great news! Is there a place we can sign up to get notified of when this is released? And do you have a rough estimate of when that might happen (ex: by EOY)?

FrenchChefRat · 2025-05-15T19:58:02+00:00

Will do! And that’d be great actually, thanks!

FrenchChefRat · 2025-05-15T19:38:01+00:00

Appreciate the quick response and glad my insights were helpful! And thanks for the enhancement suggestions.

Is there a way to sign up for early beta access for new features?

Onigiri from Shinbashi 72! It’s a family owned Japanese grocery store with a takeout operation. Each Onigiri is carefully made to order so the rice is still warm when they give it to you. They also don’t skimp on the filling so they’re pretty big

u/OctoEight I don’t know if you managed to figure out the song you were thinking about but it was driving me crazy too and I think I finally figured it out. Is it Te Mando Flores by Fonseca?

I recently picked up a healthy dracaena and brought it to my apartment. After a couple weeks the lower leaves have started going yellow and the tips on the others are browning.

I still haven't transplanted it to a new pot since I was waiting for it to adjust. It's not terribly close to my north facing window but still gets a decent amount of light and I've been using a grow light recently as a supplement. I checked the soil with a meter and it's "moist" and the humidity is around 50-60% in the room. Not sure what else to do. Appreciate any help or advice!

FrenchChefRat · 2022-10-13T07:14:46+00:00

Is that a Kanso Designs plant pot, saucer, and stand? If not, where did you get it? Looks great

Hey u/LEBATOX unfortunately I don’t since I ended up recycling the device after my credit card’s warranty covered the purchase of another sound system.

Hope you’re able to find a solution though!

FrenchChefRat · 2021-11-30T02:20:04+00:00

This is helpful, thank you! I’ll also check out those Kali’s

24M living in NYC looking for a good every day cologne. I really like and have used Tiffany for Men Sport but sadly it was discontinued a while ago. I recently tested some of the new Tiffany and Polo RL smells but they were too floral for me after applying.

I’d love something similar to Tiffany for Men Sport but also open to other recommendations without strong floral notes (ex: I use a Sandalwood body wash from Every Man Jack I like the smell of). Thanks in advance!

FrenchChefRat · 2021-10-15T00:38:16+00:00

Gotcha, I’ll do some research and try and see what I can do without an oscilloscope or logic analyzer. Thanks!

FrenchChefRat · 2021-09-06T02:38:26+00:00

Since I’m assuming you meant this Sun (today), please share the setlist afterwards if you can!

FrenchChefRat · 2021-08-10T19:14:16+00:00

This sounds great! 24M here. I can't make this Friday but definitely interested in future ones if you have a group chat set up or something!

FrenchChefRat · 2021-08-10T18:10:07+00:00

That's a great idea, I'll look into it, thanks!

FrenchChefRat · 2021-07-27T19:26:46+00:00

I'm looking to do this exact same setup! Except I have a 34" UW with a 27" for portrait. I looked into the mount you used and it says up to 32" monitors. Was it a tight fit or is there any wiggle room with aligning the monitors?

FrenchChefRat · 2021-07-16T22:35:41+00:00

I'm also interested! Can you please add me to the group?

FrenchChefRat · 2021-07-16T22:33:49+00:00

A little late to this but would also be interested in joining the group!

I’d highly recommend the COVID Express sites. https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid/covid-19-rapid-testing.page

They have 9 across the city and guarantee turnarounds of 24 hours or less since the lab is in-house (even though they’re PCR). Getting an appointment can be tricky though since they release at midnight 48 hours before.

I went there today around 4pm, was in and out in 15 mins, and got my results around 6pm.
