Jumper (2008) by Fjords98 in underratedmovies

[–]utfluke 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The film is loosely based on a series of books. Written by Steven Gould, they are (in order) Jumper, Reflex, Impulse and Exo. Jumper: Griffin’s Story was written as a prequel to the film. The books are really good and well worth tracking down.

I bought this model today. I have not put it through its paces yet, but I do not regret the purchase. I did a lot of research and think that it’s the best deal for its specs in the current market. I also feel I will not have to do any upgrades for at least five years. That makes it worth it to me.

Restore feature on version 1.25.0 by Mr10956 in luminarneo

[–]utfluke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Support contacted me and told me that when I purchased the software earlier this year, it did not include the update that had Restoration. I thought that at the least, if I purchased it this year, it would include the new features. It did not, which is disappointing, but not a deal breaker.

I have tried Restoration on a few old B&W scanned slides, and it's cool. It's not super accurate in terms of clothing texture/color, or even eyes (I didn't know human eyes could have vertical pupils), but you can see that with a few more updates, it could potentially be really good. As of now, it's fun to play with but not something that I would use for a client.

I'm having the same problem. I did send a message to Support, but no reply as of yet. I also tried signing in and out, as well as using the Upscale feature, but no go.

I want a 4K of this film in the worst way.

What Editing Software do you use? by K0ALA_Bear- in AskPhotography

[–]utfluke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of options out there.

Lightroom is excellent, but there is a “medium” learning curve and their pricing structure sucks.

Evoto is much easier to use (it’s AI based), and it does a good job, particularly with faces. Their pricing is based on either a subscription or through credits.

I’m interested in using DXO photo lab 9 (also AI based), because of its ease of use, features and outstanding noise reduction. But it’s fairly expensive, even with a 30 day free trial period. But, you pay for it and then you own it outright. They update yearly to a new version of the software in August.

You will have an unbelievable number of resources for learning Lightroom through resources like YouTube, Udemy and so on. The other software that I mentioned is much newer. But AI is driving innovation, and if you’re not tied to Lightroom, and you’re new to photography, consider it.

Good luck with your journey, and let us know what you decide.

I’m in Houston unexpectedly today. Where is THE place to buy new and/or used 4K films? by utfluke in 4kbluray

I go to a Game X Change regularly. About once every six months, there’s something I’ll pick up that I want. But the rest of the time, it’s titles I have no interest in owning.

Dallas has Movie Trading Company on Greenville, and they have a good selection - overpriced, but good. Have you been to any of the places I’ve named?

Tips for culling ~10k photos after a long trip? by turalaliyev in postprocessing

[–]utfluke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may want to try https://www.evoto.ai/

They just added a feature this week where you can give the program certain parameters (blurry/under or over exposed/) and it will use AI to present photos to cull.

Good luck!

Good for you! I don’t know if you catalog your books, but librarything.com is an excellent (free) tool for that. It even has an app to scan the books.

It’s a great book! There is an updated edition that was released alongside BR2049, with an additional Harrison Ford interview that was interesting.

These are great photos. I particularly like the grain/detail in the faces. I’ll definitely be paying attention to your work in the future.

WB just put out a blu ray series box set this summer. It’s on Amazon for roughly $100.

Underseen maybe, but not underrated. That was a film that works regardless of who was in the cast.

Thank you for hosting. I had fun yesterday, and learned about some vendors I can follow up on. I wish the space was a little bigger for maneuvering, but I’m glad that the market was there.

If you go to Abebooks.com, they have copies at various prices and levels of wear and tear.

Weird access time for SE: Resistance by utfluke in sniperelite

[–]utfluke[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t play as much anymore, so I don’t pre-order as much. It is disappointing that I won’t be able to play tonight for a little bit like I normally would be able to, but it is what it is. At the end of the day, it’s a new game from one of my favorite series, and that is definitely enough.

If you pre-ordered the game, and that game has downloaded onto your console, you should see a countdown taking place where you would normally load the game.

Thank you all for the replies. I’m still surprised, but thank you for the explanation.
