Here are a few pics I've taken this summer. The first four are of a storm rolling in overhead and I thought the clouds looked pretty cool, and the fifth is just a crazy orange sky we had one night! All of 'em were taken with my cheapo Sony DSC-P41. :p

...I should say that none of these have been altered other than being resized, we've just had kind of a strange year for weather here in Alberta. Hope you liked 'em. :)

I'd just like to ask, does anyone here use Photoshop etc to enhance your pictures?

I've messed around abit in Photoshop 7.0.1 but I havn't really got very far, any tips anyone?

RaiderOnline, BlobBlob and Armeck some amazing photography there (Y)

I tend to use PSP9 instead but you can do the same things in Photoshop. I usually adjust the brightness and contrast first and then maybe a bit of hue and saturation adjustment (the automatic function in PSP actually works quite well). If it needs it I use the digital camera noise removal filter which gets rid of some of the graininess but it tends to lose some of the detail. Finally I just crop it and put a border on if it needs it.

Just fiddle around in photoshop with some of the features like sharpness, colour levels and noise filters.

Here are some of mine :$.

What did you use to get that effect on the Shout Out pic?

The original picture which is in colour, was taken with a standard lens (18-55mm) at an outdoor concert during the night. So flash was used also, to get that effect I had a very tedious 1 hour or so with the lasso tool to basically trace her, inverse selection, and saturated the background :).

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
