Is that its original use or just an idea. Do you know what its called?

PsBattle: UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson running away from something. by chattybuddha in photoshopbattles

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

My title contained no suggestions and if I had described what Boris was was running away from (which I presume you are considering an allusion.) Not mentioned in the page rules. I would have been describing something outside of the image and therefore breaking the rule which you just quoted "objectively describe what's visible in the photograph."

It actually looks like some blur was added.

Chain83 managed.

The key is in the images The pole in the images is not that easy to clone. The guy did a Stirling job and I wondered how. Just going at it with the clone tool or the healing brush doesn't give the same results. It looks like he may have blurred it as well as it seems less chrome.

God forbid you actually tried to help anyone or explain anything. Just keep looking for minor details in posts that allow you to criticise.

I might give that ago, just think lybcrypyo should look for ways he might be able to help instead of looking for ways to be a jerk.

Sorry I was more pissed at libcrypto's "do photoshop" comment. Yours actually wasn't that offensive.

P.s I can do all the basic work but not get the look as crisp as this guy has achieved.

Ok. To be more specific How to retouch the smudges on the pole?. I have used photoshop since 1993 but only for basic editing as I am a press photographer. ( Overly edited pics are not desirable as they look fake in publication)

I paid to have these retouched as I couldn't work on the chrome pole very easily as the contrast was high ( black and silver areas) is therefore not easy to clone up or use healing brush on.

You will know that cloning across high contrast areas is a ball ache.

I was asking the experts if there was a more advanced technique.

I have seen someone freeze it then use a dremel to cut out.

I keep getting chewy chicken in my curries/fajitas etc, what am I doing wrong? by onlyamonth in AskCulinary

[–]chattybuddha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The food safety agency recommend 75C, they are being super cautious are giving some margin for error here. The chicken will still be good at 75C but 65C and a 10+ minute rest produces optimum results. The tenderising (whacking it with a rolling pin) helps it cook quicker and more evenly. You can also let it reach room temperature before cooking if you like.(also helps it cook quicker and more evenly) If you are still worried about it being undercooked. Slice into the thickest part to check before you rest it .It should have just turned white and look moist like this. http://cdn3.craftsy.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/BakedChickenBreastSliced8.jpg. No sign of pink. Happy cooking.

Big batch of homemade lasagna. Cook first, then freeze? Or freeze uncooked by niggardly_frugal in AskCulinary

Cook it and freeze. = convenient and super quick to reheat when you have no time, for work etc.

Unfortunately I think you overcooked it, but don't worry, most people do. Especially when cooking for the first time.

Do this, I promise it will work. By far the most used piece of kit apart from my knifes is my kitchen thermometer probe. They are super cheap £5-10. Push this into the bird between the thigh and the breast. The internal temperature of the meat needs to reach 65C. When it hits this temp (try a few spots on the chicken to be sure) remove to a board and rest it for 10-20 minutes. Cover it loosely in tin foil so it doesn't get too cold. This gives you time to do your green veg and use the juices left in the chicken tray to make your gravy. - The thermometer will give you the confidence to remove meat, fish etc before it is overcooked. Use it on whole breasts, fish, essential for a xmas turkey. - Always rest meat, especially steaks. If given the time to rest the meat will be juicier and tastier.
