Bull. Most of these 1/1.x" flies top out at under A4, not least because of quad bayer low res 12MP sensor, but also poor optics with heavy software correction and terrible DJI QC - a modern phone resolves much better. Mini 5 has a chance to be a little better because it has better corrected...

These numbers looks big to you and me but the reality is they are quite low. revenue != profit so well worth considering that too. Adobe is grabbing a bargain

I do as well, but my concern is the activation server can be de-activated, meaning you still won't be able to fully re-install, or worse it may need to phone home every few months or weeks already and I believe I saw signs of that.

I pretty much predicted over a year ago that either Topaz successfully pitch to adobe or go bust, probably on here in the archives... So this is happening. There is possibly some benefit to us as adobe users unless this will remain gated behind their most premium subscription tiers. On the other...

I wouldn't let anyone else use my equipment, at least the ones that matter. It has to be separate kit if you want to do it as a business. That's a good selection of high end gear so it is your call where you want to go with it

Ai can have whatever aesthetic you specify. With some limitations obviously. Now it just so happens that ai users prefer certain aesthetic, but make no mistake ai is capable of intentional low end content and socials reek full of it. There is no "authenticity" in having low production value and...

Different rules apparently apply to 0.1% top experts in the field and everyone else. I cant remember who said this and it definitely rings true here

Just thinking ahead to when I eventually get rid of my Synology... Do I get UGREEN or do something a lot fancier? Technically it should be feasible with a mac running *nix compliant OS, low power consumption and noise, and some appropriate RAIDed external storage. I am thinking of base spec used...

just hoping someone found a way to get rid of these nagging useless emails. My inbox is exploding with junk.

16gb is not too exciting depending on the size of the files you are working with and what you are doing with them. RAM has gone crazy expensive lately though. Your biggest move right now is getting at least a new midtier GPU and using it in the old PC. You can always take it to the next PC when...

Law and current primary level nhs are two examples i would be more than happy to see overtaken by ai
