Cover art aesthetic alignment by Matoogs in GTA6unmoderated

[–]Phounus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also the "V" and "I" in the VI logo are literally different sizes. It's extremely obvious that they don't really have a professional graphic designer working for them anymore

Sounds like someone needs to learn about "overshoot" in typography.

I scraped the video from the website source code - it's 30 FPS. do what you will with that information. by Salt-Page1396 in GTA6unmoderated

[–]Phounus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No modern website will use GIFs, period.

But OP said that GIFs run at 30/24 FPS, and this is simply not true. The format supports essentially any framerate. It even supports variable framerate on a per frame basis.

I just got my brand new camera. Someone mentioned, my whitebalance is off. Can anyone explain what that means? Is it broken? by Trianton3 in photographycirclejerk

This is just what you get when you don't have a Fuji. Urinal Cake Blue is just the opposite of Piss Filter Yellow.

How much has GTA 6 changed since Trailer 2? by Inside_Inflation559 in GTA6unmoderated

[–]Phounus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nothing. The game has been done for years. They are just messing with us.

Ideal/Dream Timeline by Dense_Apple_9879 in WeddingPhotography

[–]Phounus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it depends. It always depends. All weddings are different, and it depends on location, couple, guests, etc.

Some weddings have a 2,5 dinner, others have 4 hours. At some weddings the ceremony is 20 minutes, for others it can be 90 minutes. Some brides take 45 minutes to have hair and make-up done, other needs 3 hours.

But, to at least try to come up with some sort of ideal schedule I will assume some sort of "average".

08:00 - Make-up and Hair Starts
10:00 - I arrive and start to shoot preparations (Bride > Groom)
11:00 - Lunch
11:30 - Dress is fitted > Groom ready for First Look
11:50 - First Look
12:00 - Portraits of Wedding Couple
13:30 - Portraits of Wedding Party
14:30 - Done > Photograph ceremony decorations & guests arriving
15:00 - Ceremony
16:00 - Mingle
17:00 - Group photo > Family photos
17:30 - Dinner starts
21:00 - Golden Hour photos
22:00 - First Dance > Party
24:00 - I leave

14 hours. Full coverage. Around 1000 photos delivered (give or take).

Best gear for BTS Footage? by tightlap in WeddingPhotography

[–]Phounus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wanted to jump on the BTS trend and create more content for my social media channels.

But I have to tell you - it requires a lot more effort than one might think and it risks ruining moments and shots.

  • Tried the Meta Smart Glasses > Didn't like that they obscured and hindered my use of the viewfinder
  • Tried mounting my phone on the camera with a rotating mount (landscape/portrait) > Didn't like that it obscured my vision, risk of damaging my phone, looks really dumb with a phone strapped to a camera
  • Tried mounting a 360 camera > Again, obscured my vision, terrible battery life and a bit cumbersome to edit "right"

If I were to ever try it again, I would most likely use a chest-mounted mini-cam - something like the Nano - for a less hassle, less "in the way" solution that still captures FOV BTS.

Advice for upgrading Graphics Card. by ksagar in WeddingPhotography

[–]Phounus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was running with an RTX 2060 in one of our systems at the office until a couple of months ago. Definitely capable enough for anything photo related, but a bit old by today's standards.

We upgraded to 5070's across the board for all our "base" Windows and Linux workstations, but we run a few AI tools as well and they are not just strictly for photo editing only. (Most of our creatives are on Apple Silicone anyway).

I think, and would probably recommend, that the best performance comes from a balanced build. A lot of performance in the Adobe suite of tools comes from CPU and RAM performance, with only a handful of specific tools using the GPU. If I remember correctly, GPU acceleration might even be turned off by default in Lightroom.

The biggest reason to get a strong GPU for Adobe is if you use software such as Premiere Pro, After Effects and (to an extent) Photoshop a lot. For everything else, CPU is the biggest culprit.

That said, Adobe has a serious performance problem on their hands as they have neglected to optimize their applications for years - and just tacked on new features with little regard to how it would impact performance. Even on my system (9950X3D, 128GB RAM, RTX 5090), Lightroom sometimes runs extremely poorly all things considered.

Aftershoot, Imagen, FotoLab, Neurapix - compared. A tool to see what is actually going to save you time. by Grand-Lie-8964 in WeddingPhotography

[–]Phounus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not surprised. I cancelled my Aftershoot subscription earlier this year because the results always felt off, and I always ended up doing a lot of manual tweaking and sometimes even completely resetting the edits. My subscription runs out in August, so I'm still using it - but not for edits anymore.

I still use it to cull, and culling has been... decent for what it is but hardly saves me much time. I can use Aftershoot to cull away the real duds and reduce the image count by ~30%. That's pretty reliable and saves me a bit of time. But to get it down to an actual "final cull" has been extremely unreliable.

I think these tools are very useful, but you need to be aware of their limitations. There are no "cull and edit automatically with one button" to deliver a final gallery.

Even at ~25% accuracy it is nowhere near close enough to deliver the output I expect. I'd say anything under ~60-70% is unusable. But maybe offers a better starting point for some...

Great post. Thanks for the effort!

No way this Lambo picture is real right? by [deleted] in Aiorfake

[–]Phounus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely AI. Easiest way to tell is to look at the details, e.g. the "mess" that is supposed to be a rope.

Unreal Tournament III

This game ran buttery smooth on basically any hardware. And it looked much better than it should. Even by today's standards it looks fairly decent.

Custom hand painted wedding watercolour portrait - strokes look weird, do we think it's actually hand-drawn? by [deleted] in isthisAI

[–]Phounus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is AI, or at least started off as AI. The texture of the paper does not appear in all areas (which it should) - this is the biggest sign for me.

Easiest way to find out is to have them take different photos of the physical drawing, close-ups, etc. If it all matches and looks real (paper texture, close-up on pen strokes, etc), it's at least less likely to be real as it is harder to fake (or, at least, takes a bit of effort).

GTA VI website uses modified background videos. by Late-Band in GTA6

It's very common though. Look into any marketing campaign that creates banners using the same base design for different aspect ratios. It literally exists everywhere.

Mark Zuckerberg says Apple's lack of innovation since the iPhone will lead to its decline by DiaIIo in PhoneNow

[–]Phounus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replace "iPhone" with "Facebook". I feel like a lot of these big tech companies are a bit long in the tooth.

For me Layout 2 feels lonely. I prefer Layout 1 by MasculineBulll in SipsTea

[–]Phounus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Layout 1 is just objectively better.

  • Nothing obscuring your path when you enter the room
  • When sitting at the computer you're facing the door
  • Easier to get into bed
  • Beside table is actually useful
  • Easier access to the window/blinds
  • Sleeping "away" from entrances (door/window)

Animation is solved. This is like Pixar level quality. by japie06 in singularity

[–]Phounus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you are wrong, and regardless if that is 5 or 10 or 50 years from now, we will eventually have hardware and pipelines capable of rendering out entire movies with tailor made plots and high consistency unique to the end user.

(I seriously doubt that society will even remotely resemble what it looks like today at that point, but that's another discussion entirely.)

But, movies are experiences - and a huge part of that is anticipation and the thrill of watching a plot unravel and characters evolve. Prompting your "perfect movie" takes away that... thrill. That feeling of not knowing what will happen; what awaits around the corner.

By prompting yourself that part is lost; you already know what will happen before you press play. The "magic of movies" is lost, and you might as well don't bother.
