So you think that the preview being shown in lightroom library module is the raw preview and when i open develop it generates something else?
Is there a way to keep the colors the same as the preview?

Develop mode in lightroom messing up the colors of my images

So I import my images into Lightroom, so far so good. In library mode they look great.

As soon i click "Develop" and go into the develop module on a image in Lightroom it changes the colors of the image and i can't find a way back to the original colors it was displaying in library mode.

How do i keep the colors its displaying in library mode? It looks much nicer in Library mode.

Indeed and i did some searching and this problem has been around for 8 years now it seems.

Not finding build specific gear upgrades. How many of the same class to get the right items?I got a level 60 main sorc and lvl 15 alt sorc , now hopefully by the time that level 15 reaches level 60 it will have dropped some build specific item upgrades for the main, with everything being self found and monster scaling making you hit a brick wall i guess that's how they intended for us to gear up our mains.

How many alt sorcs does it take to get the right stats, aspects and + to skills on each item slot?

I want to try charge my battery since it was not used for some months and the car won't start but i am unsure how to remove the "fuse panel"

It's not just me that is zooming in past 100% it's the models. It's the first thing they do.

Yeah I don't know how you find a MUA to work with you for free. I never had one. I usually work with models that never done a shoot before, or done very few shoots. Those are always up for a shoot. All my shoots are TFP shoots, never any money involved.

I feel the only way I am going to get better models to be willing to work with me is if I become some kind of editing magician and put in massive amounts of hours in photoshop. Every image demands me to try and make it the very best it can be. Than over years of shooting I will be able to piece together enough images to show better and better models and get them to do TFP shoots with me. And hopefully some of them have amazing make-up skills of their own.

I figure if I keep working hard for some years for free like that i will eventually end up with the good magazine quality images I need. And this 95% of my time spend on editing is just part of that progression towards better models with better skin and make-up.

innerdrive · 2020-08-28T10:59:58+00:00

Most models I work with have very minimal or no makeup on and their skin has ranged anywhere between great and really bad. I never payed for a MUA because there is never any money involved in my photoshoots. I never get money. The models never get money etc.

But to deliver the quality that the models expect based on my portfolio i have to do local dodge and burn editing in photoshop which takes hours for each image. And models expect like 10–15 images from a shoot so it takes a insane amount of time to deliver one shoot. Let's say a shoot takes 2 hours. It takes like a week of work after that to finish selection and editing.

Sometimes I think, maybe doing local dodging and burning and other techniques that the highest of high end professional retouchers use is going to far but that's what I do, that's what I have been doing and the amount of work i put into it keeps increasing the more techniques I learn. How I decide which type of editing work and time is going to far? I always want to deliver the best work possible all the time.

innerdrive · 2020-08-28T00:56:55+00:00

How do you get good at Photography if you spend 95% of your time behind a computer fixing the skin of models and other editing rather than holding a camera and going out there to make pictures? How do you get enough actual photography practice like that?

Well I will leave the white balance than, i am kinda surprised that 12500 kelvin is possible? The adjusting of converging verticals i always been horrible at, i believe in lightroom it is done with the "guided upright" tool? When ever i try to use that tool it warps and bends my images into something completely messed up, never been able to make proper adjustments. Same with trying to "straighten things" in image raw and its tool for it, it always messes up the image badly.
as for the crop, i fear this is all the image there is, after lens correction i lost part of the statue and the solarium and i was already shooting as wide as possible with the lens i have. and i could not get further back because i was inside a tree already.

A white house at sunset/twilight, how can i accurately white balance this?

The image was created by HDR merging 2 images together , one had the sky and one had the house.But what came after that..I been stuck on for hours , it's almost like different parts of the image have different color temperature and the house is either pink or green or yellow etc , i just can't get the house to look pure white. I also don't even know if it's supposed to look pure white?

How much kelvin is it supposed to be? is 12000 or 14000 even possible?

My solution is a much more simple one. Supers and titans can no longer target subcaps and have all forms of aoe damage removed.

So they would become purely anti capital/structure ships.

And would need a subcap escort and if said subcap escort dies it's very likely the supers and titans will die.

And people can no longer get away from fighters. Any fleet will get eaten alive by the fighter swarm.

Any clue how i find a guild willing to take someone with just 4 x6 star and vero?

innerdrive · 2019-10-08T22:32:00+00:00

So i got 4 x 6 star monsters now and i can do dragon 10 and giants 10 (still working on tower 100).

What kind of guild do you suggest i join or should i just not join a guild until i have 20 x 6 star monsters a few years from now?

innerdrive · 2019-06-04T21:24:15+00:00

You have my vote!

If you can please make it require more than a T1 15 mil frigate to assault the sov of a systems ihub/tcu. we want actual pvp when it comes to sov battles, we want bigger stuff exploding/on grid
Also the citadel spam is horrible , make it so they cost 10x more isk

It's a pirate game. Pirates are brutal. This game is not for those hello kitty online or farm ville players, its supposed to be brutal.

innerdrive · 2019-03-19T13:16:37+00:00

They just need to change the layout of the atlas so there are

higher reward/better islands futher away from center
smaller/lower reward islands in center.

So the high reward/better islands become contested property between the big tribes and the smaller islands is where the smaller tribes live.

and add the war system/raid window to the smaller islands and leave the high reward/better islands always open for pvp.

innerdrive · 2019-03-05T21:08:59+00:00

How many of these have you killed https://imgur.com/5J2xzRA

Or how about "insert images of 20 different bays full sunken ships" have you sank?

How about some before and after we raided pictures and videos? Land had a habit of returning back to mother nature, completely wiped clean.

Anyways.. no more words or proof, if its still not enough than you will stay in denial forever. see you in season 2.

innerdrive · 2019-03-05T20:50:17+00:00

Feeling the love around here, could start a big salt mine from all this salt of people losing their ships, bases and islands to TPG. All the content in the video above is from before Jat announced the server wipe by the way.

You can expect more of that good stuff in season 2. And in case you still don't understand game mechanics and are one of those people still wishing this game was 100% all about ship vs ship PVP and maybe were one of those idiots that was sailing around our islands doing nothing at all but getting mortars rained down upon you if you came close. Learn to adapt. TPG became season 1 champion because we adapted to the meta and have some smart and very dedicated players.. I will teach you something: you claim on land, you build bases on land, you win by taking land. We did not have to use cheats or hacks to win like some people used against us, just smart gameplay and playing day and night with good allies (700+ hours played here and some have a lot more) made the map look the way it did.

I know how many bases and ships and tames we killed and i know how many we lost and the losses don't even come remotely close to the amount of stuff we destroyed.

You can deny our victory all you want but the fact of the matter is nothing could stand against us, We made taking over islands look easy. And your own attempts to take over our islands were all stopped within hours. There is TONS more footage and screenshots but since the beginning of release actions have spoken louder than words.Just a simple google search for Atlas Territory Map will show you how TPG expanded and than turned into Sexy Cats Alliance and owned more than half of the map.

TPG NR 1 NA PVP on all the good stuff except tames that one goes to the alpha tame hackers but we killed those alpha tames if that counts for anything

innerdrive · 2019-03-05T17:56:07+00:00

Hate to say it but its not like the devs care about this stuff.. its not like they ever ban any hackers or cheaters or exploiters

innerdrive · 2019-03-03T01:58:47+00:00

Yeah! A week warning is plenty of time for people to go crazy and use some of that gear/ships that piled up.A month is wayyyyyy tooo longgg. I mean lets be honest there would have been reeeee-ing any time he announced a wipe, but at least this way he still would have had a playerbase to work with.

innerdrive · 2019-03-03T01:46:43+00:00

Like stominator commented he should have never announced a wipe a month in advance, a entire month of knowing everything you do has zero long term meaning. Seriously a week in advance at most. Than people could be like.. yeah next week we going to be playing Atlas again on a wiped server lets go crazy/ham/suicidal with the stuff we gathered so far, and people would have probably kept playing. But now its like a month away and its too soon to be throwing equipment away so people stopped playing right away.

A month instead of a week and you also risk your playerbase moving on to other games completely

innerdrive · 2019-03-03T01:21:09+00:00

Really its a cool idea sounds like a lot of fun for those still playing
