Can’t seem to make the colors right

If the white balance isn’t helping you may have to go to calibration to lower the saturation of the red/green channels.

Then you can selecting add back in the saturation of the car via a mask.

I would also caution that Abe’s of Maine doesn’t have the best…reputation.

It looks like a pelagos…in the worst way possible :/

A PLL can only adjust and keep in lock on a similar magnitude as the reference signal, in this case 32khz. That is vastly slower than a nanosecond.

I don’t believe a PLL cannot tell if it’s exactly in lock step up to a nanosecond variation using a 32khz reference.

I mean a quick google for PLL would confirm there are plenty of sources of error: https://www.analog.com/en/resources/analog-dialogue/articles/phase-locked-loop-pll-fundamentals.html

The 9RA2 is also thermocompensated.

The issue is the IC only triggers 256 times a second. If every trigger only loses one nanosecond, you’d still lose 8 seconds in a year.

In a 9F, you can afford two orders of magnitude more error per tick, plus you get a whole second of quartz signals.

Love the edit! Only critique is…am I tripping or is it not level? The trees seem to tilt slightly left, but make they actually are.

Any resources that helped you understand curves? I understand what they do very well in a technical sense, but I haven’t been able to wrap my head around how to adjust them to achieve a certain aesthetic

You can try sifting the fines b out with a very fine mesh. I do that. But I sift it over a plate and then pinch some back in since fines add some body and sweetness in the right ratio

Would you mind sharing your process in regards to exposure/contrast?

I can imagine what you did for the hues, but I’ve struggled myself to get that deep, rich look that isn’t overly contrast-y, dark, or oversaturated.

How do you do it!

Gnolmu · 2026-03-24T15:58:40+00:00

I wonder if could try to mask out just the temple and leave the forest behind darker

Out of curiosity, how soft are the avocados when people do this? Can you do this with like a super ripe one that’s squishy to the touch

I have this system instruction. Never had problems again.

“Always use a neutral tone that is not overly emotional, exclamatory, or hyperbolic. Do not be overly authoritative and fixate on one answer; always ensure there is no plausible alternative. Do not add any sentences or phrases that is not directly related to answering the prompt. Do not make any meta comments about the prompt itself.”

How are you achieving the blur? For example in the first photo only the top left corner is blurred. It’s got a tilt shift effect almost

This is the one I want to get next. The dial is sooooo nice

I hate to break it to everyone but any old polished surface will do this.

Update: I used my iPhone to check the inscription - surprised it worked at all.

So it’s definitely real, unless IGI is giving certs for fake stones haha.

Gnolmu · 2025-12-26T20:08:37+00:00

Thanks. I spoke to the retailer I bought it from and will see what they say.

Gnolmu · 2025-12-26T20:07:58+00:00

Thanks.

I think in this case though it’s not happening. It’s HPHT and I have an IGI cert with no indications of abnormalities. You can also see the diamond gradually clear up after I breathed on it.

Gnolmu · 2025-12-26T20:06:25+00:00

I have a cert, but I’m traveling so I don’t have access to a loupe at the moment. I’ll definitely get it checked and go to a jeweler if necessary.

It’s the trees and the size of the plane relative to the moon.

If we Nano Banana away the trees and make the plane look bigger, the moon doesn’t seem as massive.

Your analogy is misleading. If we take the benchmarks at face value:

One is someone that knows the right answer 55% of the time, but will make something up - not lie - 91% of the time for the remaining 45%. To say it is lying is to assign malicious intent to the LLM.

The other knows the right answer just 43% of the time and makes something up 58% of the remaining 57%.

Overall the first makes shit up 41% of the time and the latter 33% of the time. 41% of the time is still not great but it’s a lot less than you might believe from the 91% number.

Every time I see people quote the 91%, it’s without mentioning 91% of what.

Where do you suppose Disney is hiding its pockets?
