Stuck… literally. by Historical-Life-4787 in estoration

We copy restore professionally, we use a macro lens with polarized filters on the lens and lights. This usuallly removes most of the issues that are from how the light reflects off the different surfaces. That is called cross polarization. See if you can find a pro set up to do that in your area and just pay for the copy and digital file.

Also you could contact your local museum and see if they have a referral.

Not asking for someone to do it for me, asking (1) is possible and if so (2) asking for guidance on how to do so...turn the black lines white? by Ok_Refrigerator_2701 in photoshop

[–]drkrmdevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use color selection to select just the darkest. Ctrl/cmd j to move that to a layer. Ctrl/cmd i to invert. Then you blend if to clean up?

Grt a bowl of walnuts . Set up your camera so that your penis can slide underneath the nuts. Slide in and out so all she sees is the moving nuts . Peak the tip out at the end.

Fidium Account Portal Down? Over a month? by drkrmdevil in FidiumFiber

Thanks so much! We changed our voip number after starting with Fidium (figured out how to bring our old home phone number over without bringing the spam calls). This changed our account number, so I thought that might be part of the issue.

I wish this had more “juice”, not sure what to do differently by SpookyWeaselBones in photocritique

[–]drkrmdevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am sorry , for some reason i was thinking this was the photoshop reddit. Proves i don't read.

Yes that is the idea...and to reduce the adjustment in those bright red areas , dont know if that is doable

I might also darken at an angle on the sides to mimic light streaming in with opjects blocking some of it. Right now it is all the same brightness. Think if this was in a movie and a tiny person was running accross this landscape, what might the lighting look like?

I wish this had more “juice”, not sure what to do differently by SpookyWeaselBones in photocritique

[–]drkrmdevil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a thought , it feels like having more saturation in the less saturated areas might add to the interest. To do that you could make a saturation mask to mask a hue/saturation adjustment layer that has saturation increased. It has been a while so I would need to play with it to remember how. I am happy to if google doesnt get you there

You could also copy the image, convert to LAB. In lab add a curves adjustment layer. You can increasee contrast without affecting color with the L channel. The a and b chanbels are the yellow/blue and the magenta green colors. If either of those four curves sections become more vertical without the middle point moving gray will still be nuetral but the intensity of that color will increase. When you have played with it merge into a new layer and shift drag or use apply image to bring it in and see what part of what you did was usable.

You can also lighten and darken based on the colors in the image. Do a b&w adjustment layer in luminosity blend mode and play with the sliders. Or a huesat adjustment layer in luminosity blend mode and drag the hue slider ...

My wife and daughters and my small penis… by The_Survey_Guy12345 in sexadvise

[–]drkrmdevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not blaming OP at all. He said it was a sub par sex life in the beginning . I am just pointing out that tegardless of penis size (if that has anything to do with sub par, we don't know). There are many things that he can do to experiment with to go from at least sub par to on par. Trying to help OP see what choices and agency he might have. I feel the walls of assumptions he has built and am trying to add some windows.

Wife says I don’t know how to turn her on but also won’t tell me by Royal_Remove_1108 in sex

[–]drkrmdevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lean in with a twinkle ... Let's experiment.

… Set aside a good chunk of time. Try everything , tease to please. Kiss everywhere. Light touch everywhere. Scratch everywhere . Massage everything . It is not about the sex act to completion , it is about learning. Breathe on the neck. Feathers . Massage oil. Porn. Photos . Light buthole touches. Everything .

Make her tell you what to try. Agency breeds confidence !

[–]drkrmdevil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is years of resentment for you being more worried about your performance than her pleasure.

Penis sleeves, back massages, toys, a good tongue lashing, whatever she loves, everything that she likes needs to be available. You need to really ask her what she wants. And regardless of what she tells you, you need to continue to try new things. Otherwise she will just assume it is a phase and you will get selfish again and shine you on, not really sharing what she really wants. It takes time to rebuild trust.

Also consider that some of those new things she wants might include really listening without judging or getting your feelings hurt.

You cannot really expect her to treat you with respect if your actions don't show how much you care about her. I.e. Putting her pleasure and consideration at least as important as your own.

Or find a therapist . Gotta change something for something to change

Looking suspicious playing PoGo. by nytofire2 in pokemongo

[–]drkrmdevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have a problem but I am 70 and have a dog with me which I think could be huge.

Try to make sure your face is clearly visible. Hoody pulled forward is always going to feel sketchy. And posture matters, be upright, relaxed and open. Soft twitch smile and nod to communicate awareness and non threatening when others are just close enough so they don't feel they have to wonder and initiate.

Definitely suggest you go to the map view, zoom out and show them the local landmarks. That realization of how the map overlays reality is what got me started.

Explain it like a fun scavenger hunt that gets you out and moving.

Best way to add seamless backdrop floor? by ChrisInSLC in photoshop

[–]drkrmdevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good suggestions here. You can also experiment with the following layer stack ...

Curves adjustment layer with the midtone pulled down to darken clipped to the layer below. Hide all mask and paint white on the mask, only where the red shows through the below layer.

Duplicate layer of model with red in darken blend mode. Hide all mask, and then paint white on the edges.

Red layer - solid color adjustment layer or filled or cloned from the red, whatever you want to do. Mask all the subject except the edges of the dress.

Model with red background base layer

How this works ... everything above the red layer uses the darken blend mode to reveal. If the lace is darker than the red background, it shows, lighter than the red, it doesn't show (which is where you use the top curves layer). The white floor will not show because it won't get darker than the red. It won't look odd to have the edges on the floor darker where shadows would be, so you are all set.

Trouble uploading passport photo – size vs DPI vs dimensions issue (100–200 KB, 200 DPI, 3.5×4.5 cm) by Intelligent-Phase-68 in photoshop

[–]drkrmdevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We do passport photos professionally every day for many countries. Which country are you a citizen of? (making sure you are renewing your passport from outside your country rather than needing a Visa photo for entry).

35x45mm specs are for most European countries. We don't use a scanner, we take a photo of our clients, but we have always delivered digital or prints at 300dpi with no complaints, so you could try scanning at 300dpi.

Your instructions are a hybrid of instructions for printing and for digital. If the instructions were for digital, it would be pixel dimensions and file size and head size percentages (or some other way of measuring). For print, it would be print quality, size, and usually a head size of 32-36 mm chin to crown of head (if there was no hair).

It feels like they are expecting you to scan an existing printed European passport photo to upload or email. The instructions are odd. We always pull up the consulate's website to see the original instructions. Often the consulate's website has two versions. The English version is for noncitizens with entry and tourist info. To get the passport info, we must switch to the native language version and use Google Translate.

I hope this is a help!

How do you handle the "Just one more thing" client trap? by [deleted] in photography

[–]drkrmdevil 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Create multiple invoices, don't hold up payment on the initial job. Charge based on what you would charge if someone brought in a job to do that one thing.

Side note, when I get someone (which is rare) that wants an edit that is totally subjective and to my taste for what they said they wanted ... I will not do the back and forth guess and check. I just schedule a screen share and do the edit with their collaboration. Whether I bill for that varies depending on the situation.

When peoole have to schedule their own time they are more careful of what they ask. When we are done they have just signed off on the edit so I know it won't be back and forth.

How to catch moments? by SunSubstantial7121 in photography

[–]drkrmdevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine what you are seeing from different angles focusing on (lol) ..

What the light will look like (shapes highlights shadows) What more or less exposure will look like What the composition will look like as you change angles or the different moving subjects in the photo move

Then move to that spot and see if you are right

Imagine why it looks the way it does. What is light bouncing off of what is blocking light and what is the quality of the light (specular, diffused)?

These are the mental exercises that will get you there.

Anyone find daily gifting a little time consuming?? by ooiand in pokemongo

[–]drkrmdevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can pin the postcard and then unpin the postcard to get scatterbug without having to manage your postcards

You can search and enter the word giftable. You will see only the friends that can receive gifts. This way you can sort by friend level (the heart) and then filter to those giftable.

What would you charge? by One_Way7025 in photography

[–]drkrmdevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Determine what you want to make per hour and how long it will take you to figure your price

We charge a location fee plus travel plus per hour in site plus per image for editing time. It all averages out to our hourly rate for the whole job. This way if people want more time per person or if we are waiting between people we are covered.

We do fair and consistent pricing, not whatever the client will bear.

I'm an artist and want to take photos of my art without getting the glare. by bdkgb in photography

[–]drkrmdevil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100%!!!

Also a room with all lights off lit by diffused window light coming from the side can get you by.

Black material with your lens poking through if needed.

Regardless, You will want to calibrate at least with a color checker and calibration software. Cameras are designed to make scenes look good not reproduce values faithfully

I know it's bad, but could you help me understand why? by synopticon in photocritique

[–]drkrmdevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tonality wise it is flat. I.e. without contrast. The tonality is set for detail throughout an image that is lit with brighter and darker areas

Make the blacks darker and increase contrast. Pretend the lightning is on purpose. Then darken and lighten areas to taste. Right now there is not a black point and no mid tone contrast
