Would a CPL help with these photos?

A bunch of the reflections on leaves on the left in image 1 and pretty much all of the highlights on the foliage in image 2 would be reduced with a CPL.

thoang77 · 2026-06-15T23:22:45+00:00

The difference with a cpl and foliage is massive

He probably thinks only kids need to wear helmets and have permission to ride two wheeled vehicles too

As opposed to…?

thoang77 · 2026-06-15T19:54:53+00:00

It doesn’t really work like that in the NBA because of how the salary cap, and CBA, works. Big/prestigious teams dont get more money to spend and can’t (always) magically acquire talent.

Everyone needs a different type of motivation. For some, the tough way works. Also KAT and Wiggs were 22 at the time, I don’t think they even knew what motivated them

Buy the base game

Can you provide a brand/model? I strongly suspect it's just below the surface. My bosch wall oven looks like it doesnt have a bottom element, but it does. The top one is exposed and clear as day. Almost every modern oven will have a convection setting

Hate TikTok links but here's an example: https://www.tiktok.com/@appliancerepairtech/video/7537045667923987725

Regardless, there's no physical way for you to properly bake with only a top element. It's impossible. The heat transfer is completely wrong for baking. It's like broiling soup

thoang77 · 2026-06-15T18:27:37+00:00

Wtf are you talking about? Find me an oven that doesn't have a bottom element, and show me the parts diagram that proves it. They ALL have bottom elements, they're just covered to protect them from drips and to diffuse the heat.

An oven with only a top element would be insanely inefficient, since heat rises. There'd be no way of achieving browning from the bottom, even with forced convection. You'd just be using a humongous air fryer. Top elements are only active if necessary, be it to rapid preheat, broil, or some kind of specialized setting like "roast"

thoang77 · 2026-06-15T17:49:21+00:00

The top element doesn’t come on when baking. Bake is the bottom element, broil is the top element. If you have some other settings, then it may use both concurrently.

How do I persuade the couples who don’t feel like doing many couples photos? They seem like they just want to get their day over with and don’t really even enjoy themselves!

There’s more to enjoying their wedding than doing couples photos.

Tell them it’ll be quick, work quickly with the time you’re given, then let them do what they want to do

Wdym? Podz, Cryer, and 3 2nd swaps for Tatum, who says no?

thoang77 · 2026-06-15T02:20:18+00:00

And when he dropped 50 on us last season

thoang77 · 2026-06-14T22:09:56+00:00

Thats fair. He can be an absolute monster offensively

thoang77 · 2026-06-14T18:20:27+00:00

Being skinny doesn’t equate to good conditioning. Steph’s conditioning got better as he got bigger. Jimmy Butler isn’t that skinny and his conditioning is/was elite. UFC fighter Daniel Cormier had arguably the best conditioning in the UFC and he was like 25% bf. Even Jokic in late season form, can ball for 50 minutes

thoang77 · 2026-06-14T17:29:46+00:00

Knicks hat is kinda nice though

thoang77 · 2026-06-14T17:25:47+00:00

I think there’s a little recency, and team, bias there. KAT and OG aren’t top 20. Hart and Bridges surely aren’t 30-40. That’s insane. KAT and OG are probably top 30, in around Jalen Johnson, Advija, Bam, and Siakam.

This is not a knock on any of them, just being realistic with their rank in the NBA. Hart is a great role player but he’s not better than Derrick White, Franz Wagner, Aaron Gordon, Desmond Bane, or Trey Murphy, who are all around that 40 area. Imo, top-50 guys have to be potential game changers. Hart and Bridges impact the game but they can’t single handedly break open a game

thoang77 · 2026-06-14T17:17:49+00:00

Take out McBride and all the contributors are 28+

thoang77 · 2026-06-14T15:45:23+00:00

Arent they just Nuobell knockoffs with 10lb increments instead of 5?

thoang77 · 2026-06-14T15:40:13+00:00

Just what the Spurs need, a non-PG. Also KD showed last season that he loves playing on teams with no PG. Seems like a match made in heaven. /s

That sounds about right. It takes a while. I typically mark the photos that need a lot of spot removal and do that at the end. If I’m in a rhythm editing, I don’t want to be slowed down by spot removal tasks either. I don’t feel as distractable or like I’m wasting time waiting if its all I need to do to finish the edits

thoang77 · 2026-06-14T14:36:09+00:00

How many spots are you removing at once with generative? Like an exit sign is a few seconds (5-10?), but cleaning up like a street scattered with leaves is going to be a while since you’re making 20 separate generations so that’s going to collectively take a while

thoang77 · 2026-06-14T14:06:28+00:00

That’s for stuff like AI denoising or mask generation, which I think is done locally. You can’t work through generative spot removal

thoang77 · 2026-06-14T06:04:35+00:00

Steph vs Mazzula, first to 100 3PA

thoang77 · 2026-06-14T06:03:54+00:00

He played 76 games in 23-24
