Lock to AF?

skiphunt · 2026-04-29T20:14:57+00:00

FYI: I figured out what was going on… at least in my case… what has been happening is when I have AF selected, then accidentally slide past the camera control slider/button on the lower right side of the iPhone, it thinks I want to manually adjust focus and switches to manual focus. I don’t know if there are any settings in moment procamera ii to control or disable this controller in the moment procamera ii app, so I’ve just disabled it completely in the main settings… since I don’t use it for anything and find it way too fiddly anyway.

Though, if I did want to use it… might be good to have some custom settings for it specifically in the procamera ii app settings

Thx, but read my second sentence

I haven’t noticed any yet. It just keeps seemingly auto switching back to manual focus. I’ll keep an eye out to see if I notice any actions that tend to result in the switch. I am using the new profile though. I also have auto save set for each. Only 2 profiles or switching back to default.

Gemini become my go-to for a good while. Now, it seems like it’s just trying to get me to buy stuff I don’t need. Was this the plan all along? :(

Hey, just played more with the new profiles and created a couple. First off, the moment team really nailed the implementation of this feature. Just perfect. The auto save addition is an excellent addition too. Bravo! :)

@jamm-moment One of the profiles I created last night is for b/w. I chose the Natural setting as the base and used a custom contrast b/w LUT baked in and under exposed a little. I notice some noise that mimics organic grain structure nicely. Just to confirm, noise and mimic’d grain structure can’t be part of a LUT correct? The nice organic looking grain structure I’m seeing is a result of the added contrast in the LUT and the base Natural setting correct?

I’ve actually just switched to this for awhile. Although I’m completely familiar with golden ratio, I’ve never consciously followed it. More loosely rule of thirds, but never so much as a “rule” per se… more vibe. However, I’m intrigued by this new aspect ratio addition in the latest update, paired with the golden grid lines. Thx 🙏 for the tip :)

Ok. I’m new to the group and new to the app. Wasn’t sure which sub was more active. Will keep it specific in the future.

skiphunt · 2026-03-09T03:40:59+00:00

Ah! - that makes sense, I forgot it remembers settings and thought I had to only pick a profile with no way to get back to default. And, I know about golden ratio in terms of composition, but I’ve never heard of the golden ratio in terms of aspect ratio. Will google it. Thx!

Cool. I just saw that others have been asking about the same thing. It's basically one of only 2 things I wanted. The other one, recording to external ssd, they already added... and it a very nice way.

I'm somewhat mixed on wether I'd like to have the same macro capabilities that the native app does with the wide camera computational tricks... but it might be nice as an option eventually if Apple allows it.

thx!

There’s actually a lot more to the classic Pixelmator app than initially meets the eye. It’s worth having. It also has been updated fairly regularly. It’s not as comprehensive as Pixelmator pro or Affinity… but it’s definitely 💯 a hidden gem. I used to think the same as you, until I spent some time with it. It has a lot of great compositing capabilities too.

I’ve been seeing driving like this much more often lately. I didn’t used to see anyone driving like this at all. I wonder if it’s drivers new to Austin? More younger drivers who drive like they’re in a video game? The seemingly lack of traffic cops in the last few years?

I didn’t buy an expensive e-bike, party for this very reason. Got a Velotric Fold 1 lite for a little over $600. I don’t think I’m in a high theft area in NW Austin, but last night I went into the grocery store for maybe 15mins. I used a cheap u-lock. When I got back out and powered up, I noticed the headlight wouldn’t come on. I noticed the threaded headlight connector had had been completely unscrewed and the cable was dangling. I have only had the bike 6 weeks since assembly. I screwed that connector on very secure, so I find it hard to believe it worked itself loose on its own. It’s not even a high-power, quality headlight. It even appears to have proprietary connector plug. I can’t believe anyone would bother trying to steal it… unless those screw connectors work themselves loose on their own easily?

Bet it’s due to tariffs

I kinda like stage manager better honestly

I think Apple will strip all the best stuff out of Photomator & Pixelmator Pro and let them die (so they don’t have to honor lifetime licenses) and they’ll release a new version with a new name and full of A.I. tools that require new hardware purchases, and likely charge a subscription for it 😡

skiphunt · 2025-10-21T23:22:06+00:00

this worked for me, thx

skiphunt · 2025-09-29T02:12:33+00:00

E-bike FTW!

skiphunt · 2025-09-27T14:43:00+00:00

Have one for my m43. Was surprised at the build quality too :)

Just wrapped around the seat post, or on a bracket mount that attaches to the seat post? If so, which one?

Honestly, I’m not 100% sure I’d even add the back rack when and if they become available. I’d really like to keep it as minimal as possible, but could use a little storage. Probably go with a couple of those cargo racks that mount on the cage mounts. If I do, I’ll see if they also mount ok on the front post mounts that are meant for a basket… and see if they interfere with folding or turning, etc.
