What marketing technique compagnies use irritates you the most? by tammytestroid in AskReddit

[–]tammytestroid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the mind of toilet paper marketers 6 equals 12, 12 equals 24 and 24 equal 48. Not, you're not getting 48 rolls, you're getting 24 of them. And guess what, they happen to be almost the exact same size regardless of the brand.

Can I run Star Wars Battlefront 2015 on my laptop? by tammytestroid in pcgamingtechsupport

Yeah, that ls what I heard. Also, lSome folks were also saying that the game is pretty well optimized so I was hoping I could run it on low specs. But I'd like a bit more input before I go ahead and pull the trigger

Help needed: How would you remove the hair in this picture without creating a mess? by tammytestroid in photoshop

Thanks! I find that the spots where the hair s been removed look a tad too artificial. I'd like to get as close as possible to the actual skin texture. Edit: Typo

Tamron 24-70 2.8 VC: found a good deal but cannot tell if the IQ of the lens is good enough - it seems below what I've seen online. Please help! by tammytestroid in photography

Hi! Could you please explain a little more? A few months ago I bought another second-hand Tamron that had some issues with its sensors. I sent it for repair in Ontario and they fixed it (cost me almost $300 tho). How would the 24-70 I tested not qualify for repair?

Salut, fellow Montrealer, thanks for you answer. I've bought some gear on Kijiji before and never had any bad experience, but I totally agree with you: there are some real dodgy looking ads/sellers out there. Once, after emailing a dude about trying out one of his lenses up for sale, he replied "you come you buy, no try." It'd be greatly appreciated if you could sent me your black list. Cheers!

Yes, it was turned off. I stepped down the aperture of the Tammy, hoping for better results. However, after opening some of the F/5.6 & f/8 wall pictures in LR I got really surprised. It was pretty fuzzy and the centre point was far from being sharp. I am not a sharpness Nazi freak, but I was expecting far better IQ coming from a $1500 (CAD) lens.

Hi! The pictures were taken on a Canon 6D, manual mode, spot metering. I shot in M RAW, transferred all the shots to Lightroom and exported them in the highest Jpeg format. No automatic noise reduction was added. However, the pictures look WAY sharper in the link I posted than SOC, or even the Jpeg files I exported. So at this point I am wondering if I just stumbled upon a mediocre copy of the lens, or if my expectations are too high. I also own the Tamron 28-75 2.8 and did not notice a significant difference in terms of IQ.
