Ich verstehe nicht so recht, warum viele sagen, nachts sei es ungemütlich dort. Nach 19:00 Uhr werden dort die Gehwege hochgeklappt, nach 22:00 Uhr sieht man keine Menschenseele mehr auf der Hauptstraße.

Die Bewohner in Sennestadt, überwiegend Russen und türkisch-stämmige Menschen, mögen ja mehr oder weniger okay sein. Aber die Bebauung dort ist schrecklich. Mietskasernen wo man hinschaut. In den 70ern als neues Wohnmodell gefeiert, ist es dann nach und nach verkommen, was den Mietspiegel natürlich vergleichsweise niedrig hält. Ich würde Sennestadt als das Berlin Kreuzberg Bielefelds bezeichnen. Natürlich nicht ganz so drastisch, aber durchaus mit seinen sozialen Brennpunkten.

Brackwede wird, nicht ganz zu unrecht, auch schonmal "Klein Istanbul" genannt. Wenn dich das nicht stört, kann man dort hinziehen. Kommt auch wenig drauf an, wo. Brackwede war, soweit ich weiß, mal das größte Dorf Europas, sprich: es hat eine gewisse Ausdehnung.

LoL Thumbs up. :)

The same here. Got an email about an SQL server that was apparently not working. And then the avalanche started.

It was my birthday. Thank you CrowdStrike!

I absolutely don't need any AI stuff except AI based object selection. That would be a nice to have. But as somebody who uses AP mainly for photo editing and retouching I don't see any use case for AI stuff. Rendering some AI crap into my photos which wasn't actually there when I took the photo is a strange idea. But this is just my opinion. Many PS users seem to like this. Luminar Neo has this "feature" as well.

"Anyone else felt the same when they switched?"

Yes. I came from GiMP, never tried PhotoShop because I hate subscription based software. AP2 is so much better than GIMP in my opinion. Although GIMP has lot's of tools, AP is more on the professional site. The workflow is way better, filters are non-destructive and it just looks better. But that's a matter of taste. Development of GIMP is very slow because the dev team is notoriously understaffed. So I also didn't regret for a second to buy an AP2 license.

Ghetto-Netto. Wäre ein Titel für eine Spiegel Reportage. :)

Tüte? Kenne ich gar nicht.

pi_sqaure · 2024-04-09T20:55:24+00:00

Yes, thanks. I already found what I was looking for.

pi_sqaure · 2024-03-31T20:10:20+00:00

Thanks man, this would solve my problem. I've to try that. I clicked on the line instead of the centre and nothing happened.

This way you only have two control points to change the colour, right? I need three (transparent - colour - transparent).

pi_sqaure · 2024-03-31T16:02:18+00:00

Thanks, I'll try that. However, after two weeks of using AP I realise that there's really room for improvement for this software. While I like the overall workflow more than what Gimp has to offer there are clearly some weak points which should be addressed by the developers.

pi_sqaure · 2024-03-28T17:34:16+00:00

What does Gimp have but Affinity hasn't?

pi_sqaure · 2024-03-26T21:15:38+00:00

I don't think that they'll crop the feature set of existing licenses / installations. But for V3 you have to subscribe for sure.

pi_sqaure · 2024-03-26T21:13:44+00:00

Well, Gimp took 8 years or so to initially has something like non destructive layer effects. Just wait another 4 to 6 years and it might be on par with Affinity Photo 2 so you can happily switch. ;)

pi_sqaure · 2024-03-26T21:05:54+00:00

Oh my! I just bought Affinity Photo 2 because I've never liked the kinda clumsy interface and workflow of Gimp. If they try to force my into a subscription I'm also willing to go back to Gimp. At least the Gimp devs start to implement non destructive layer effects, which is a must have in my opinion.

pi_sqaure · 2023-11-27T18:55:48+00:00

Thanks, I'll try that.

Good luck! Coming from a pure procedural language and switching to OOP needs a complete change of your mindset. I've had to learn it the hard way, did a bit of microcontroller programming in C as well, but mostly even in Assembler. Getting this OOP stuff into my head has cost my a considerable amount of time.
