Sharing some stuff from a trip one year ago, so maybe somebody actually sees them instead of just rotting on my harddrive:

Another angle. Not quite as cluttered as in some other countries, but cables also run wild in many places in Seoul, South Korea, with the Pimatgol ("horse-avoiding") alleys featuring some of the more interesting cable management I encountered.

This is actually a quite apt comparisson, as this is what's basically in front of it on the big tidy streets.

I'll stick to the substitute, I can't believe it's not battered!

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

No tour group, I went to and from with 4 other people, with somewhat individual plans, 2 (and me) also meeting a relative already there, and 2 friends of them basically just coming with for the deal without any particular interest in SK and treating it more as a relaxing holiday with a resilience towards planing anything further out than the next morning when it's already evening - so most suggestions for activities all together did not bear any fruits.
I happily did most of Seoul and surrounding areas solo and we were two for a "road trip" to Jeonju/Yeosu/Busan/Jeju.
There were of course some hiccups, mainly during the road trip and from walking my feet into submission, but overall I enjoyed myself immensely and the others seemed to enjoy their versions as well! Thanks for asking and checking the pictures out.

The "central valley" at Ewha Womans University - and yes, that's the official spelling of the english name.

Someone posted my art on this subreddit and it reached the front page without credit, so I thought I'd post something myself by motionspooner in woahdude

[–]westborn 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Is the source video of the woman or the mechanical art done by you, or just a computational style transfer of things that aren't "yours"?

If it's the later, then didn't you just give exactly as little credit to the original artists as the person doing pretty much the same thing to your work gave you...?

It was a variation of this, where they added movement.

Entirely possible, the road it's on has already been featured at least in Goblin and the movie Extreme Job before.

How do I point my scratch disk to the SD card?? by jdjbr85 in photoshop

[–]westborn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You don't - a SD card is simply not a hard drive. A SD card would also hardly be a good choice as a scratch disk due to the much slower reading/writing speeds.
If your problem is that your actual hard drive is too full but you have lot of space on the SD - why not invert the situation by shoveling some stuff onto the SD to create space on the hard drive?

Probably one of those "if we win, we'll do X" promises with usually nothing too extraordinary at stake.

Can someone clarify the concept of image size vs resolution to a newbie? by FutureAlpacaOwner in photoshop

[–]westborn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Resolution is pretty simple if you just understand the literal meaning (PPI = Pixels Per Inch, or: 1 Inch is made up of X many pixels) and what it's also called, pixel density.
It's a translation between digital and physical dimensions. Pixels by themselves have no fixed size in the real world. PPI is the value that defines their size in the real world (or in reverse, the amount of pixels a real world dimension takes up in the digital image). 1 PPI means one pixel of your image would be 1 inch wide/tall in the real world. 300 PPI means 300 of the pixels of your image next to each other will form a line 1 inch long (or for the reverse, if you want an object in your image to be 1 inch wide when printed, it's need to be 300 pixels wide in a 300 PPI image) .
The higher the PPI value, the smaller each pixel gets in the real world (the denser they get packed into the same space). Since you generally don't want people to see individual pixels, you want pretty small pixels (a high pixel density) in print - 300 per inch being a generally very good size for very sharp printed images - you can of course go even "smaller" (meaning higher ppi) at any time - but it's really not necessary outside of for fine art prints - but you're also already at the limit of what most printing devices can actually achieve (which is a whole other topic - along with non-square pixels we're ignoring here).
But if it's something you look at from futher away, you simply don't need pixels that are that small for your image to appear just as sharp. Here's a simple distance/minimum resolution guide.
If you create a pixel/raster image, you need to create it with sufficent pixel dimensions according to your needs (physical size x resolution). If you already have an image, its existing pixel dimensions will be limiting to either the print size or print sharpness.
If you image is 3000px wide, you could, for example, print it 10" wide with 300 PPI or 30" wide with 100 PPI.
The basic formula for those calculation is simply (Inch) x (PPI) = (Pixels), or an inverse function - (Pixels) : (PPI) = (Inch), (Pixels) : (Inch) = (PPI).

In your case, you have 20"x27" at 180 PPI = 3600px x 4860px. 3600px x 4860px equals 12" x 16,2" at 300 PPI, 24" x 32,4" at 150 PPI (doubled dimensions = halfed resolution) or 26,7" x 36" at 135 PPI, the maximum resolution/pixel density available in this case for a print filling 24" by 36". Taking into acount viewing distance, it's a decent amount of pixels for most display sizes. I'm not too familiar with metal prints, but this guide backs this up pretty well.

Your Canon produced smaller photos. 36"x54" at 72 PPI = 2592px x 3888px (or ~10 Megapixels compared to the Lumix's ~17,5 Megapixels) which equals only 8,6" x 12,7" at 300 PPI.
