So watermark the raw as unedited or something so you can verify it wasn’t your finished product. Don’t lock me out of being unable to see the actual moment of me and my family.

Ah well you actually give the option to purchase the RAW which I’m fine with. At least ALLOW me to have an option to have the RAW myself.
I appreciate you taking the time to explain yourself and I can see circumstances where a professional’s reputation and work quality are directly correlated with their future business and financial stability.
But I’d gladly pay a fee and I straight up had a photographer deny me family photo RAWs because they “never” allowed anyone access to those.
Ah this is perfect you can enlighten me then.
How are you a photographer trained in the art of capturing a moment with appropriate focus, lighting, timing, and framing providing a service to me?
By not providing me that moment in its purest form.
If I’m hiring you to photograph me not to be my digital artist. Or at least offer both.
By not providing the RAWs you’re literally providing a restriction in my access to the moment I hired you to capture.
If I designed a web site for you and then when you tried to move your hosting to someone else and said “Oh sorry that web site is only provided as part of my services.” And forced you to create a whole new design to host somewhere else. It’s quite plain to see that’s manipulative business practices.
In my view it comes from an insecurity of photographers that they can’t compete with photoshoppers but the reality is I’m paying you to use your skills to capture the moment correctly. Frankly idgaf how good your Photoshop skills are. Especially now with A.I. “authentic” photos will become all the more valuable to people.
I have met a few photographers who absolutely will not agree to that and it infuriates me. Must be some new trend of pro photographer influencer bull to hold your raws hostage.
So to any young kids who get into this “I am intelligent therefore depressed.”
I’ve been there and what I’ve found is that if you are like how I was. I falsely correlated analysis of the universe and the discovery of it’s harshness with how I was feeling and probably erroneously ignored my bias (because I was depressed) to focus on negative realizations.
It was my caustic family environment, my lack of individual freedom, poor sleep, poor diet that was making me miserable.
If you’re feeling this way you need to look into Mindfulness and why existence even in its brutally bleak appearance can be an enjoyable quiet morning listening to crickets as you wake up, or being aware of noisy air vent that sounds interesting, or even the curiosities of your own wandering mind.
Our experience of existence is relative to our framing. Emotional intelligence is learning to side step the current and enjoy observing the river.
This is fascinating to me. Do you have any links or suggestions for this workflow to learn more?
Ah man I thought you said it did go on too long and get bad. Show is amazing and I love it.
I agree it shouldn’t run longer than they can write good content for it.
Can somebody please just link the boobs
The problem isn’t that I want to be a centrist because I think it’s correct. It’s because this country is going to fucking shit with the deadlock on any kind of cooperation.
Constantly volleying for further extremes correct or not is why we can’t get a budget approved, why even with the ACA it got stripped to fucking Bits when the next presidency swung around.
The reality is you want to be bringing in more voters by being more palatable and not pushing them away by drawing a line in the sand for EVERY single issue. No I’m a better liberal! No I’m a better liberal look at me virtue signal.
It’s fucking exhausting.
Ranked Choice Voting baby! It’ll never fucking happen because it would work.
Completely new… seen partying with the existing cabal in 1990’s and also affiliated with the sex island pedophile ring that nobody ever got in trouble for.
Phew man what a savior of the country.
Agreed but can’t the same be said about pre-compiled binaries?
At least with a Dockerfile I can download the repo and make them image for myself.
Sure you could’ve downloaded the repo and compiled the binary for yourself but you still had to have all of the libraries setup correctly. It’s more about a codified build process that’s reproducible vs a “supposedly” working documentation on a git repo of make scripts.
Not at all true. Go inspect the Dockerfile. If done correctly you should be able to inspect the full container build.
Less relevant with Docker or FlatPaks though right?
I don’t understand the ambiguity of where to put your projects.
I’ve typically always put things under /opt/ TIL /etc/opt was where the config should go.
You say that however we might have stumbled on the groundwork for a GI. Because language is core to our evolutionary advancement. We needed language to build the mental constructs that then enabled logical work.
Imagine if an LLM was able to coordinate the usage of these “logical” AI’s like Deep mind etc.
ChatGPT already enabled Internet search and it’s better than if I asked someone to Google something for me.
I think the defenders of human intellect are heralding our language and thinking to be a much higher standard than for MOST people they are.
A chess champion might be executing critical thinking beyond normal comprehension but I’d say a lot of my interactions with others, my daily experience is just pattern matching the next thing to say or ask.
Hmm 🤔 that’s fair but I think more often than not it’s not what the photographer remembered of that moment but down to common practices with color curves and histograms in Lightroom or something.
I like your idea but I think it’s more of a post-render is more like what you remember.
However you can’t use your own editing skills to get the picture to how YOU remember it or want it when it’s already in someone else’s version.
Which fine. Like you never got to SEE yourself and that’s why you hired the photographer.
My issue is that I would be happier hiring someone if I didn’t have to use their awful makeup filter mode photos that don’t even look like we’re real people.
