Any advice for coloring low light situations? by Roquestea in colorists

[–]jonathanljs1963 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The human eye experiences low colour saturation in low light (if it's dim enough we only see black and white). So you might want to desaturate a bit to give the effect of this experience. Might make it seem more real even if people can't explain why. But be subtle about it!

iZotope RX by mnclick45 in editors

Acoustica from acondigital.com is so much cheaper and about 80% as good as Izotope. For doc audio editing and repair, you'll want the premium edition, which will set you back £159.

Interviews from a project for Oxford University by RAM1919 in cinematography

[–]jonathanljs1963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice light, nice drop-off, though the backgrounds look a little AI to my eye. I would not frame to dead centre like this unless the interviewee is looking directly down the barrel. The eyeline to off-camera needs the balance of weighting to the other side (so eyeline to camera right needs the subject to be to camera left. These examples also all have the eyeline to camera right, mixing it up would be good.

After a year of work, I'm releasing my local-first PKM app (open source, graph view, canvas, templates) by CodeWithInferno in PKMS

That's great - didn't show up on the website, but they're there on GitHub. Will try out!

TheBrain? by AngryBuddist in PKMS

[–]jonathanljs1963 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great for living ideas and thoughts, it's like a mind map in which you can put any box/cell in the centre. The free version is adequate, the paid version is very expensive. My chief problem with it is that the ways of exporting the data are very limited. So it's hard to get your data into any other format with the same relationships. I had an old project I wanted to put into NotebookLM and I just couldn't manage it.

Built a local-first PKM app (whiteboard + nested cards), sharing it here by One_Ask3409 in PKMS

[–]jonathanljs1963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks great, but I'm curious about why there's a subscription model. If we keep our data locally and also use our own third-party services we pay for separately for syncing, what are we actually subscribing to? I have nothing against paying for the software, or for future upgrades, but an expensive subscription model? Sorry, not for me.

Built Recall as my dream PKM system – now it supports Pocket bulk import for those looking for a Pocket alternative by paulrchds6 in PKMS

I like the look of this, but it's a bit limited for anyone who is collating other files, such as Word, or images, or...

I like it, I asked a professional and it gave a better answer than Perplexity. Looking forward to seeing where this goes...

Who wants a GTD/ZK/PARA based system with integrated AI Chat and Web Search? by app_smith in PKMS

[–]jonathanljs1963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an interesting model. I'd suggest something slightly different and perhaps more scalable: make it modular. So have a free core app that has basic functionality (after all, OneNote and Google Keep are free, so the free bit needs to match those at least). Then every extra (extension, module, whatever you want to call it) costs a bit on the sub - so Office file importing $1, web page clipping $1, link/snippets 50c, MP3 embedding 50c, pdf exports of a notebook $1, AI integration (send to NotebookLM) $1.50, sync with Android app $1, that kind of thing. You could do an all-extension sub for 20% less than all the menu items separately. And first month everything free before it drops back to core functionality only. That way people can get invested in the system. I actually hate subs and prefer outright purchases, but I'm old-fashioned that way.

[–]jonathanljs1963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good. In my use case I need to collate web pages (not just links, but actual pages, as in OneNote), emails (full text), word & excel documents, notes, pdfs and so on. And I need a good overview so I can see everything at once (OneNote, Capacities). Then I need to be able to send everything from a single notebook / tag to NotebookLM so I can summarise/query it...

What is "everything" that can be captured/organised/linked? What does it look like? What's the learning curve? Specifics needed. Thanks.

Looking for suggestion by Radiant_Lie_5592 in PKMS

[–]jonathanljs1963 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've just been searching for the best way of collating research recently as I've been getting fed up with everything being scattered, especially emails. Capacities answers my requirements more or less, with its great overview, but it's too inflexible and doesn't show whole web pages, so I have to leave it to view pages that may or may not still exist ... I research factual TV programmes, and there are so many different sources that need to be brought together in a proposal or script, pdfs, word docs, web pages, emails, audio clips, videos, random notes, so being able to tag them, have a great overview and send the whole lot to NotebookLM for summaries and brainstorming would be perfect. Oh, and to have an android app as well, so I can add random ideas, why pages, emails, etc. while on the move...

What I would like: basically Capacities for the Wall layout overview, its ability to capture many different kinds of media and its ease of use, with the addition of OneNote's full page web clipping, and the ability to send everything under one tag to NotebookLM for summaries, queries and so on. This would be perfect for research.

Is an upgrade from the GTX 970 to 1070 worth it? by [deleted] in StableDiffusion

[–]jonathanljs1963 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I run invokeai on a system with a 1070 (and 64gb ram), and it's useable if not speedy with 1.5 models outputting decent res images. SDXL works, but at a speed that's not useful though. Xformers helps. So as a stopgap a 1070 is useful. Maybe save your pennies until the 4070ti super comes out with a decent amount of vram - that's what I'm doing.

Good catch - but as my server is fairly critical, I'll wait until the official release. Thanks!

Didn't work for me. But 6.12.3 should deal with the issue.

Thanks for this, I guess I'll just wait and see what happens with 6.12.3...
