This isn’t Photoshop or AI or whatever, it’s a real thing they actually used in space, called the “Stinger” to penetrate the nozzle of a satellite to capture it (I’m not making this up).

I think if Adobe were to port Photoshop to Linux (annoying subscriptions and everything - I‘m not asking them to change their business model for this) the only ones left who need to use Linux are conpanies who have a super elaborate setup for color-coding e-mails in Outlook and text templates in Word… https://mastodon.onlin…
no gen AI btw, all just by-hand-sloppy Photoshop

Solarization: Most digital photographers only know the effect as Photoshop filter, but here it's happening chemically in the darkroom... Created by extreme overexposure (here ~3x longer of my usual exposure time), the darkest parts of the image have become inverted, which in Kallitype then (temporarily) turns into these amazing orange tones, whilst the mids & highlights remain normal neutral grays, depending on developer used... During fixing and (especially) toning, the orange would…

In today's Coding Black Mirror episode: what if AI code generators get sped up to emit tens of thousands of tokens per second?
For now we're pretending LLMs are just sloppy devs and try to review the output, which is already exhausting.
When it gets to the point of being able to rewrite the whole project on every keystroke, source code won't be the source any more, but a discardable compiler output. Switching languages will be like applying Photoshop filters?
In the mid 1990's graphical software like Photoshop and Corel Draw became wildly available and easy to use.
Many thought it was the end for all info graphic artist because anyone could, now, create, all by themselves, their own atrocious colourful flyer in Comic Sans.
AI remind me of that now.
My current task for our #VFXPipeline is to accomodate Windows users in a Linux pipeline. Easiest option: give every Photoshop artist a Linux workstation for Nuke. Seems to be a common thing. But out of curiosity (and to be prudent with hardware) I‘m trying to get everything working on Windows. A constant source of sadness I have to say, worse than UTF8 strings in Python 2.
> I'd call it "vibe project management" where you just pretend to have a project plan. It visually looks like project plan. But factually it doesn't make any sense because it has been created with Photoshop for Powerpoint …

Und weil ich es länger nicht mehr gesagt habe: Die Aufgabe von Universitäten, Schulen usw. ist Konzepte und Fähigkeiten zu vermitteln. Die Aufgabe ist nicht: Produktschulung.
Wir bringen Schülys und Studies den Umgang mit Produkten von MS Word/Excel/PPT, iPads, … bis hin zu ESRI ArgGIS, IBM SPSS, Atlassian Jira, ANSYS, Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop/InDesign, SAP, … bei – weil „die Wirtschaft das fordert“. Und die Wirtschaft setzt die Produkte ein, die die Absolventys können.
