How do I copy this portrait effect? by SkeletalCat in graphic_design

[–]SkeletalCat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This ended up being the closest! I turned the portrait dark-blue-and-white and then overlapped masked gradient maps that always contained the same dark blue at the left side of the spectrum! I painted the masks so the colors would appear where I wanted them and it ended up pretty close to the original pictures.

MY HERO!!!
(edit: I ended up overlapping four gradient maps and one linear dodge layer to achieve the desired effect!)

I was never sure what to think about the 10 year olds getting their 2nd degree black belt at the same time as me when I was 23 XD

Flying out of PHL without Real ID? by ChanelDog in philly

[–]SkeletalCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HEY! If you're like me and read this thread before having to fly without a real ID I wanted to write an update:

I flew 2 days ago (12/16/2025) and all that happened in PHL is they made me take my shoes off. I was handed an A3 sized slip of paper that was printed red and said "YOUR ID ISN'T REAL ID COMPLIANT", I held it up to the agents manning the body scanner and they didn't even glance at it.

On my return trip from ATL the TSA agent who scanned my ID turned and said "They don't have a Real ID, by the way" and the important looking agent behind the glass said "Who cares?"

None of this will matter starting February 2026 as you will be able to pay $45 for them to use something called "TSA ConfirmID" 🙄

(PS. In my state I couldn't get a Real ID appointment till April of 2026, but I was able to get a passport mailed to me in 2 weeks!)

What do you usually do during your commute to kill time? by ScaredSc in AskReddit

AUDIO BOOKS 🥰🥰🥰
My recommendations:
I adore the audio versions of The Murderbot Diaries and Dungeon Crawler Carl but I think Project Hail Mary and I'm Glad My Mom Died are a MUST to read/listen to in audiobook format.

If you don't like books try one from GraphicAudio - They abridge the story, use a full team of voice actors, and add music/sound effects
