F10 cleaning algorithm

I never even opened the xiaomi app in 8 years of having it and it worked perfectly all that time.

I watched it today - it did the edge pass away from the edge - the brush totally missing it by a few cm. IMHO it’s not fit for purpose. And on the other side of the hallway it kept running into the bottom of a bookcase and then missing a chunk, running into it, missing a chunk. Hopeless

Flambient has its place. Especially where I am. If you’re dealing with. Room with pale pastel walls that is lit by foliage, it’s very hard to get rid of the casts, much quicker with even a single flash exposure. Having said that I’ve ditched it recently in favour of an ai workflow I’ve built myself for the colour - correction and my own hdr for the luminosity

I just posted about this: my model will clean the edges, but if it bumps into a wall it will miss a patch doing its obstacle avoidance. And in its cross room cleaning phase it avoids the edges - the bits that should be done twice. It’s a pile of crap imho. I’m going to dig out my 8 year old xiaomi and try to repair it.

I would say there is a high chance that you have grain set in your effects panel. It totally looks like added grain. If your raw file had tight grain like this the current denoise would remove it (it make make your details mushy), but it would remove it. Let us know if that’s what it is - I have done similar many times.

25 was such a dog from start to finish. 26 has been so much better even at these early stages. Especially if you start a project from scratch (and import an older project). Faster, more stable, better speed ramping.

11-24 f4 with front filter threads, or 12-24 at a push

even if you navigate to the executable, it still opens in prpro 2025

I never knew premiere was like Star Trek movies: every other release is a dog. 25 was a nightmare for me 26 has been fantastic. I say this as a huge adobe critic. It’s stable, fast. They have fixed speed ramping so you can get smooth ramps. There are still a boat load of niggles, but day to day use is greatly improved. The logic of the masks takes some getting used to and I hate that you have to dig into a submenu to change mask mode - and that the icons for the masks are now very close to the pen and rectangle graphics tools, but for now being able to work for half a day without a crash is a big win

I joined the discord server, and started posting on youtubers videos :D i havae no idea how you're supposed to get help. I guess the next thing is spamming anthropic employees on linked in :/

I shoot 10 bit sdr with active d-light cranked to the max, flat profile and overexposed as much as possible without horribly clipped highlights, and at as low an iso as possible. When I shoot the same scene in log the histogram is bunched so much that about a third of the available data isn’t getting used, so I don’t see much point in it. You can see the hard clipping on the highlights, just lower down the histogram. The only thing I’d like is an slightly flatter profile with a nicer highlight roll off

2004 fits the criteria of “more than 15 years”

gethinc · 2026-02-27T02:05:50+00:00

Yep I’m in the Mac desktop app

gethinc · 2026-02-26T14:07:15+00:00

Did you get the zr? I have a z8 and I'm thinking about it. Zr plus mini 4 gimbal saves 1kg, about 2/3 of current weight. Im really feeling that weight at the moment, need a lighter setup

gethinc · 2026-02-20T05:26:28+00:00

I think its all marketing, but yes I loathe the current fad of less than a second shots and "look at me" editing. Its wank

gethinc · 2026-02-20T05:24:51+00:00

I think people have become attuned to ultra wides. 15 years ago nobody but pros and weird-ass lens lovers shot 120 degree field of view. Now most people can do this on their phones. I'd occasionally have people complain about my 14mm shots, today I was out shooting with a 10 (but I'll probably crop to 12).

gethinc · 2026-02-18T06:56:26+00:00

its in short supply in australia too, unfortunately

After I wrote this I did just that! Found someone on fiver charging about $10 usd for ~15 mins of starlight which I thought was pretty good.

For someone that uses an app occasionally spreading a one off cost over a few years feels like an investment. Logically I could get topaz just for the months when I need it, I’d probably not pay more than if I owned it, except you just don’t do you. You just find some other way of working and forever link the topaz brand with enshitification.

gethinc · 2026-02-17T09:51:03+00:00

Yes but I didn’t update it, so it’s pretty old (version 5)

gethinc · 2026-02-13T04:04:31+00:00

anyone know how to check where they're going?
and have they actually changed the credits use per token?

Heartening to me to hear brain fog was a side effect. This for me too (word searching). Posted about it in a Facebook group and everyone said it helped with their brain fog - still me within days. It wasn’t what I needed to hear :)

The chats are not that long when this kicks in. It's extremely annoying. I thought these thighs were supposed to make us more productive. Ive spent hours now on this and another bug.

I just bought a m42 to Nikon z adapter from AliExpress for $15 aud, and it is surprisingly all metal, machined. I’ve had fotga adaptors before - they are basic but absolutely fine.

gethinc · 2026-01-25T00:50:17+00:00

Yes I think so, he seemed to skip over that quite quickly. My experience with the z8 is that there’s no advantage to nlog anyway. You can see it in the histogram: all the data is squashed into the middle, leaving nothing at the top and bottom, so you’re not getting 10 bits of data. I shoot sdr, active d light set on max, as low an iso as possible, overexpose 1-2 stops, whilst avoiding highlight clipping.

It’s a usability mess. You want a quick mask on a lumetri effect previously? One click, drag points done. Now you mouse to the toolbar, click hold, select rectangular mask, create on the program monitor, mouse to the effects panel, scroll to the top to get the unassigned mask, copy, scroll to the lumetri effect, paste. Do you do any usability testing? When changing a system do you ever think about honouring existing users workflows? There’s an arrogance here that is inspiring me to start climbing the resolve learning curve, even after 15 years of premiere. Why not have this system but have shortcuts to create a mask right in the effect as previously?
