Also seeing a lot of bloodshot eyes, which I attributed to I guess binge drinking, until I came across a shot of someone whom I know has been ill off and on for months after repeated infections. Googled it — conjunctivitis is a side-effect. Fortunately, a little rubber stamping, a little hue and saturation, and — good as new

Someone in my Mastodon feed recently asked, if it's alright to edit photos they take before publishing them? Forgive me for not finding that toot to reply to, but, as a hobbyist photographer myself, I feel compelled to respond regardless;

The TL;DR answer (applies to most cases): Absolutely!

The longer answer is, that unless you're trying to demo, review or give opinion of your photographic equipment or editing software, or you're pressed for time and you absolutely have to publish as soon as possible, then it's IMHO basic courtesy towards your readership to at least edit for:

  • intended (orientation, aspect ratio & cropping, straightening, perspective correction,...),

  • (correcting unwanted lens aberrations, adjusting contrast, levels, sharpness, noise reduction,...) and

  • (white balance, saturation, hue, tint, vibrance,...).

How to apply these will depend on the purpose of your photo. If you want to document a scene, keep to minimal editing that will try to match what you saw with your own eyes when taking the photo. And if you want to be artistic and experiment with creative photography, then anything goes (but be bold about it!).

And once you're happy with those adjustments, also don't forget to consider its dimensions and file size (resolution, compression, file format,...) before uploading it. There's no point in uploading, say, a 24 Mpix image (common sensor size with cameras) to a website that will only ever display it at up to resolution. It will also render better since it won't go through website's or web browser's rescaler and there's less chance people will "appropriate" your work for their own use without attribution.

There's a lot of software out there, many of them completely free, that can do all of this more or less acceptably with a single click, then, if you have the time and know-how, you can fiddle with intended look from there onward.

If you regularly publish photos, you MUST do at least these things described above. Anything else is lazy, sloppy, or careless!

I love restoring photos. Here's a touched-up old printed magazine photo of our Amiga game development team (I'm the one on the left).

After touching up and colorizing an old photo of my mother-in-law, I decided to add a photo restoration service section to my portfolio:

Well, my original plan for today was to work a bit on some photos with a new app. I got sucked into fixing my instance instead, but it seems to be working now!

Except some follows are taking forever, but now I _think_ that's from the remote servers. I hope, anyway.

Well, I'm either gonna play around with ramble.moe and make it not-an-nginx page or actually do what I planned to tonight.

Liking mastodon so far though! Thanks for all the good, fun content so far!
