Episode 446 – Bruce dives into Gimp

The news crew @ ABC NewcastleThis week, I took my first deep dive into Gimp, in an effort to composite 7 different people into one image.They were all shot under the same lighting conditions, but even that hasn’t made them all gel together by default. Still, I’m happy with the result.

 

Glynn told us about the forthcoming iphone 11 and its Smart Frame technology, which promises to allow re-composition after the fact.

Australian listeners, for this next one, make sure you click “take me to the U.S. site”…..
Credit processing platform, Square, has launched its own automated photo studio, which promises to help small businesses get professionally-shot images of their merchandise.

Sony has taken out patents on 6 new chips which include some interesting on-sensor HDR trickery.

Check out the work of this guy who creates amazing underwater ‘sets’ in his backyard swimming pool!

Ever downloaded an image FROM Facebook? Just know that it contains a digital Facebook fingerprint which travels with that image everywhere thereafter.

Xiaomi could possibly be the first cellphone manufacturer to bring to market a phone with a whopping 64MP sensor.

Adam Forsberg shared this story about 2 brothers and their reckless drone behaviour which impeded the actions of emergency services at a crash site.

And the other Adam is sending us to Airtasker, so we can all race to the bottom with our prices! 🙂

I have been a professional audio engineer since the mid 80's and am happy to do for free in my spare time what I get paid to do during the week. I created Shutters Inc in May 2005, and it is today (as best as I can tell) THE longest-running photography podcast in the world.

    Speaking of Gnarbox, what ever happened to the Gnarbox I won then returned because I didn’t have a smart phone to connect it to?
    Maybe it could be a prize for later in the year?

    Mate, it’s still at my place. I haven’t used it either! Happy to give it away to someone else. And I’d like to find you another prize in lieu of that one.
