    I meant the before processing picture and the post processing picture should be included if we were to have a thread dedicated to manipulated photos.   By manipulated, I mean those using AI of any kind and not just touched up a little in Photoshop.  A lot of people do some light/moderate editing but AI takes it to an entirely different level.  A manipulated photo, IMHO, is not exactly "How your avatar looks today" which is the title.of the thread.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

     

    Then a new thread would be very good.

    Very appropriate.

    scatti del genere non si possono tornare indietro, sai quanti scatti faccio prima di ottenerne uno decente e poi so come posizionare la fotocamera e quali angolazioni prendere e credimi non è facile ma devi avere passione nel farlo

    Yes.

    I understand.

    A lot of work, but with passion too.

    is what I also believe

    Why do you believe that? Have you already had some kind of problem with the other person who made the comment about starting a new thread? 

    I believe a certain person to who you reply is sh1t stirring. We don't need that kind of problem on this thread.

    All my shots are raw as well.  I do.think it's a great idea to have a thread devoted to photo manipulations as more people seem to be getting interested in that form.  May the thread could include the raw shot as well.  Before and after.

    Yes, I definitely think it would be interesting to see the before and after. It would be a really interesting thread, would bring a whole different set of people into it I think too. 

    The lovely thing about this particular thread is it's very inclusive, all types of avatars are here, and most are raw shots. 

    (Below, three are mine all logged in at the same time which I wouldn't be able to do now, one is a cute friend who I haven't seen in a long while but who I miss very much. Nearly killed my computer, but just to keep this thread on topic and to show a little bit of diversity.)

    for one picture ? aren`t we exaggerating a little bit? what`s the matter with you? for one picture all the others I processed, so what? you`re not capable? that`s your problem

    I didn't read their post like that at all. Have I missed something, some spat between the pair of you or something? I honestly thought it would be a good idea to have a new thread started showing what is possible with AI software.

    As someone who just takes rough snapshots, and has never even used photoshop or gimp, I became quite fascinated with AI software last year, and whenever a photo has appeared in this thread that looks enhanced in some way, I'd quite like to know how it was done, but not on this thread as it would change the essence of this thread, which isn't really one where much discussion goes on, it's mostly just a place for everyone to share what their avatar looks like today.

    Granted, but now burps are twice as powerful and smell twice as bad.

    I wish everything in wrestling was real.

    Granted, everything in wrestling IS real, in that when someone in the ring is in a headlock, the entire audience feels it too, and when someone is thrown to the ropes, all the audience are moved against their will across the room. It's rocky but it's real! 

    I wish fireworks were entirely banned (it's out Bonfire/Guy Fawkes "celebrations")

    Granted, but you draw the energy from the nearest lighbulb and it doesn't last very long leaving the room half cleaned.

    I wish I was a talented musician.

    Granted, you are very talented at playing the bagpipes but no other instruments. 

    I wish no one and nothing in the world needed to fart.

    Custom requests, as per the wiki, must be company names of some kind.  

    Upon creation of a custom surname, the account designated as owner will be billed a US$500 setup fee plus the first annual US$500 fee. On each anniversary date, the owner will be billed US$500 to retain custom surname ownership. Last names must clearly be an organizational or corporate name, and distinguished from personal last names (surnames). For example, "Smith" is not acceptable, but "SmithCorp," "SmithInc," "SmithProducts" or "SmithConstruction" are. 

    I've just guessed a few names that have Cat as the surname, and they do look like they are all involved in some kind of club in world, with avatars that have different rezz dates, 2013, 2015, so my guess is they are all part of a company and have done just this.

    Granted, but it turns sentient after a week and demands ethical treatment.

    I wish these leaves would rake themselves.

    Granted, but they rake themselves into the middle of your living room.

    I wish I was in Tokyo at the Def Leppard concert.

    OUCH!! On a Friday night too.. That's like wasting double special time, than if it happened during a week night where you have to work tomorrow!! \o/

    A Narcissist just looks forward to wrecking your night! don;t let them in your head, they love that.. Cut'em short, they really hate that.. Them farging iceholes.

    I had something similar happen, but Mine was kind of in the opposite direction.. Someone TP me to their sim because they wanted to take some pictures today, but wanted me to come there so we could plan out the shots last night..

    All I did was watch them walk in some animation in circles around me, then every 5 minutes it felt like, I would see if they were still there  by asking a question like, So did you want to talk about the shots or lay out some backgrounds or something? Then get a short response like, Yes.

    Then after, trying to get blood out of a turnip for what felt like an hour in real time, They started to do some silly emotes where they slapped my butt or did something that was about touching me.. Finally I just poofed out of there.. I started to think to myself, It's Friday night, what am I doing here?!

    It felt so life sucking.. Out of all the preverts that exist.. I think the Snail Preverts are the most life sucking time consuming preverts of them all..

    I wonder what their impact is on the environment from how many bushes they have beaten around.. I wish they would just get to the point rather than work up the courage after an hour or so of acting like there is another reason we are there..

    All I'm gonna do is poof on them, What are they so scared of that they have to take an hour sucking up the life of others?

    Thank you, for all of that. Gives me strength.

    To make it worse, I had forgotten it was Friday night because I had changed my schedule around and had been working unpaid since 9am. 

    They just give you complete and utter brain fog these energy-stealing, immature, unfixable, unlikeable wretches. 

    Can't fix him, can't kill him, CAN use the ignore feature LOL (not on here, he's from real life but on Facebook) - he said to me "Let me give you something",... long pause ... and then gave me his phone number and I'm like, WTF am I supposed to do with that, because I need a record of this conversation because I cannot believe yet again I have gone and fallen foul of another narcissist. 

    Is it a disease that's spreading, narcissism, because they sure do seem to be popping up all over the place lately. 

    Pet delight: That it is Saturday, I have glorious quiet time, and plenty of reading material. I am actually relieved the bonfire party was cancelled this evening because of the torrential rain we've been having.

    And I have cake. The world is always better with cake :)

    If people could hide themselves, they'd be able to do far worse than offend by having their own opinions. In a public forum, anything said outside private messages should be viewable by everyone.

    Otherwise you'd have people trying to block the mods, the bullying would increase because people could hide themselves from everyone who might take issue with it or didn't know how to prevent it, and things would be far worse than anyone currently imagines them to be.

    In my experience, people who want to do everything in secrecy while having any kind of power over others are usually up to no good.

    Like everyone else who has been here more than a week, I've had some pretty bad days on the forums. There are people here who, in my opinion, seldom if ever put forth anything from their keyboards but pure excrement. But if I let that put me into some victim/abuser mindset, then I'm only victimizing myself.

    It's all just words. You can't control other people. They can say anything they want, and the mods decide if it's going too far.

    And this is exactly as it should be. welcome to reality.

    My current ignore list on the forums is at 0. And funnily enough, since un-ignoring everyone, nothing anyone has said has offended me in the least.

    The simple answer as to why?

    I think it should be obvious to anyone who can be honest with themselves.

    I used to have a zero block list too, until last year. 

    It's marvellous. I am grateful for the feature. It saves a lot of wear and tear on the scroll wheel of my mouse.

    That's not what I'm saying - nothing "up to no good" about wanting to stop someone harrassing you.

    You could use your same argument about' secrecy and power' over ban lines and security orbs.  There's every chance I'm just flying past your land and have no interest in what you are doing or what is inside your land, but when you get zero warning and teleported home without consent then surely that's an example of 'extreme control' far in excess of simply not wanting to have a specific individual(s) interacting with you?  Yet most seem to take that as a 'basic right' in-game.

    It seems like the only real choice I have is to stop using the forums - and I'm sure lots of people would be delighted to take that win.

    You have a choice to grow a thicker skin too, not to let people goad you, because you are coming across as someone who just does that.

    No one would give a hoot if you left the forum. They wouldn't notice or care. And they would find someone else to goad or laugh at.

    Just continue to be you, post if and when you want to, but get your head from up your own bottom and run around for a while, enjoy all that is on offer in world and on these forums.

  12. Granted - you are immortal, but only as this particular Second Life avatar, as a bot only. All the rest of your entities, including real life, have instantly turned into dust and blown away.

    I wish I had gone to bed two hours ago like I was meant to.
