Episode 414 – Hi-res Glynn
This week, we’ve moved from Skype to Source Connect for our long-distance podcasting exploits. Personally, I think it sounds HEAPS better. Love to hear YOUR thoughts.
This week, I’ve been exploring the incredible power of Masks in darktable, which allow you to do luminosity-based selections, hue-based selections…. all sorts of fun stuff. I posted on my photography blog about how I was able to recolour the car in this image using a parametric mask that just targeted the hue of the paintwork.
Of course, all the buzz this week is around Photokina.
Interesting side note: You and I know where Photokina takes place. But try finding any reference to the actual city on their website! It’s there, but you sure have to dig to find it!
