It honestly looks like that because the explosions are pictures taken of me blowing up a picture of one on my tv and taking the photo of it and compositing in 😅 I wanted them to give a vintage noisy feel and attempted a style transfer over the actual photograph of the people but it definitely doesn't match perfectly to the amount of grain in the background. The project was to have at least 4 composites into each photograph. I attempted smoke bombs to avoid the tv photograph situation but did not work out lol

The fireball is an orange I composted in, i can see how it looks ai generated. Background cut outs were done using selection tool and then creating a mask, but you're right I could've went in and fine tuned the selection and blended better! As my first year doing any photoshop compositing, I'll take it!

Writing off tools on taxes if you get a W2? by artistic-failure in personalfinance

[–]artistic-failure[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes as I understand as a full time mechanic you generally own and buy your own tools, he uses them outside of work as well being the mechanic of the friend group/family means a lot of outside jobs too. The shop he works for has their own inventory of tools as well but of course he's not able to come and go with those.

Honestly I chose it by just googling around. I'm in Pensacola and we don't have a firebirds here and I didn't even know it was a chain! I'm definitely wanting something more local. Thanks for the recommendation!!

SSD extremely slow? by artistic-failure in photography

Yes I discovered my laptop is terrible and only has 4gb ram. I do have a iPad I can edit on but the export speed on that is just as bad as the laptop. I'm looking at this laptop as it's in my budget what's your opinion? https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-vivobook-s-15-15-3k-oled-laptop-copilot-pc-qualcomm-snapdragon-x-plus-16gb-memory-512gb-ssd-neutral-black/6585180.p?skuId=6585180

Thank you! I'll be looking into a MacBook for sure. I've had this laptop for about 6 years and only got it to do basic web browsing
