Les gens qui clôturent leur expression d'opinion par « ce n'est que mon avis » ou « ça n'engage que moi », est-ce que c'est une tentative de fausse modestie pour paraître sympa ou vous avez vraiment cru que les autres risquaient de confondre votre opinion avec une parole d'évangile ?

Inventing a new view to explain filmic curve as a scene -> display range mapping zone by zone for next #darktable. It should make it easier to get.

2017 : analog photographers are like "A digital capture doesn’t require anywhere near the skill-set of transparency film" [1]

2018 : T. Sobotka, G. Espertino, myself and others hammer that gamut escapes, yellow sunsets and halos around edges are inadmissible but no fatality if you retouch in proper color spaces. Remains to learn.

2020 : digital photographers are like "Kodak Portra is so much easier and nicer than having to deal with digital color management".

🤷‍♂️

It took me only 2 hours to synchonize again a Blackberry OS 10 with Google accounts after changing password.
Sigh.

Joyeuse fête du nationalisme pas cher, du défonçage de Champs-Élysées, du cramage gratuit de pétrole pour se souvenir de l'homicide d'un roi en chantant un hymne glorifiant le meurtre dans un pays où l'insurrection a été interdite en 1993 et où manifester pour tes droits finit à l'hôpital grâce aux chiens de garde du capital.
Honte d'être français.

Hey geeks, if you are bored, I have a project for you : create a social network for books & papers, for people to share and maintain lists of stuff read or to read in the future, index bibliographies for later use, with critics, reviews, cross references, genres and themes, and BibTeX/DOI integration when applicable.
Enjoy.

Abandon du projet de loi visant à rendre non identifiables les forces de l'ordre

Bah oui, enfin, laissons les tabasser sans conséquences.

Whenever I read an opensource coding monkey getting all excited about Lab, CYMK or HSL for image processing. (Picture by Darix)

I would like people to understand that #photography is difficult, and so is #retouching, because color #perception is very unintuitive and does not agree with light #physics.

Anyone saying otherwise has something to sell or has someone doing the heavy lifting for them.

The only remaining question is "is it worth it, for you, to learn this difficult craft ?".

I can't answer for you, but know this : as any art or craft learning, it will be hard and you will need courage.

Ooops. I did it again. Backported filmic v4 colour science to the channel mixer and added a more accurate white balance adjustment in it, with gamut mapping options, so you get all your camera colour calibration in one place to start a clean editing pipeline :

#darktable #colorgrading

So, the owners of these Linux/FOSS news websites loaded with GAFAM and ads trackers & cookies, who are they ? What's their deal ? How do they sleep at night ? What do they see when they look at themselves in a mirror ?
I'm interested.

#darktable filmic v4 is on the way, with a new highlights reconstruction/blurring feature operating in RGB wavelets space : https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/pull/4800
Make your digital image organic and poetic with film-inspired color science.
