Thanks for the comments guys but compared to you my photos are crap hehe. Love the photos in this thread. I need to keep learning.

I wouldn't be so quick to knock your photos :)

Though, I know what you mean, when looking at others pictures, I always feel like min are lacking, or over processed, or... something.

I've been a fan of yours for a long time. Since, pretty much 2001. The ol' Theme'ing Windows XP days. I don't know if you'll remember me, but I used to go my the name Xcert.

Great, I'll un-purple-ize it a bit, and finish the trees. I'm sure there has to be a better way than layer mask and brush, but I haven't found it yet.

I tend to take my photos about one step to far though. I was about to save, and then I randomly added that dark layer on top :rolleyes:.

Before saving I should press ctrl+alt+z a few times. :laugh:

I do love -Kol's images though, I have a bunch printed in my room.

If you're unfamiliar with photoshop, i would suggest using camera raw for your jpg's. If you go into photoshop preferences, then file handling and check open jpg in camera raw that should work for you. It's alot easier to find things and is very powerful. On the right hand side, near the top you will see buttons for different categories, if you click HSL / Grayscale then click the saturation tab, you can completely remove the purple and add more blue. Of course this can be done in photoshop as well, but i find camera raw has most things you need for photo editing and it's easier to locate. Hope this helps. You don't have to customize your images according to what we think, by all means experiment a bit and have fun! Here is a quick readjustment i made to it.

Thanks for the tip, I was wondering how to get camera raw open.

I do know how to do that much in photoshop though, and I purposely adjusted with the colour balance tool. IMHO the trees in mine look a bit "painted". I added a bit of magenta and red to the picture.

Do you like it with a more realistic colour as opposed to to the tinting I did. I was thinking overall it was good, I just needed to "un-purple" it a smidgen.

This is what the camera actually took (For a colour comparison):

Yeah the pic was good, it's just a matter of personal opinion. I think outdoor shots such as this should stick with a realistic color because especially being that this is a farm type scene, it has alot of really rich colors that can make the photo stand out. But again, just mess around with it and have fun, it doesn't have to look like mine, or what anyone else wants, just mess around and see what you can come up with. The only reason i commented on the original picture was because it seemed like the whole picture was washed out but there was alot of light on the ball of hay, so it didn't look natural at all.

Quick pic of my dog. Snapped it when she was waking up. Usually she is not this calm. She is always doing something that **** me off LOL. Love her. :D

Lol, nice pic KoL.

My dog acts the same. Miniature Pinscher... She's all over the place, jumping on the sofa and running everywhere. It's almost impossible to have a non-blurry picture of her :)

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
