This European #BlueTit - Cyanistes caeruleus, Blaumeise - punk came visit our place in #Bochum, Germany, today. Shot with a #Lumix FZ300 at maximum zoom; light was difficult but some contrast and color adjustment with #IrfanView got this out of the JPG. #BirdsOfMastodon

An cool illuminated eye sign, raw and with #Irfanview auto-color adjustment.

Here's one I took either with the #Duaflex or the #Hawkeye, not sure anymore. It's really pretty nice and crisp.
You can see one effect of the simple lens in the curve of that trolley-wire support pole. I'm pretty sure in real life it's completely straight. This is a nice modern steel pole, probably 25-30 years old or so, on the #SCVTA (if it was an old wooden pole on the #SFMuni, I wouldn't be quite so sure!). The first version is the original, and has kind of low contrast. The second version is color-enhanced with #Irfanview. My bet is the negative is on the overexposed end (the lab sent me scans electronically, and I haven't picked up the negs yet).
But, decent results for a 75-year old (at least) low-end camera.

I've been wanting to take film pictures of my cats for a long time, but the old box cameras I've mostly been using focus at 10', so I couldn't really take proper portraits of them. I got a snap-on close-up lens for the #Duaflex, and with that, the focus is at 3', which is just about right. That's how I took the first two pictures. The second pair are from a #Voigtländer bellows camera, my first "respectable" #MediumFormat camera, which lets you focus and adjust speed and aperture.
You *can* make that kind of adjustments on box cameras, thought it's pretty primitive--though I kind of like that.
The Duaflex pictures were color-adjusted with #Irfanview (they are probably underexposed), the Voigtländer pictures didn't need anything.

Taken in a basement bookstore, under the courthouse/museum in Redwood City. Before and after auto-adjusting levels in #Irfanview.
(A long exposure, but it should have been even longer).

IrfanView

Unter Windows nutze ich gefühlt 100 Jahre IrfanView. Aber erst jetzt habe ich eine wirklich nützliche Funktion entdeckt:

Während man ein Bild anschaut kann man im Betrachter F2 für das Umbenennen drücken (bisher hatte ich dazu immer auf den Dateimanager umgeschaltet).

Oft habe ich für einen Presseartikel viele Aufnahmen, von denen ich nur einige auswähle. Da ist das eine wirkliche Erleichterung.

Experimenting with scanning methods some more. The first version of this image is using a flatbed scanner with a suspended battery-powered LED shop light. The second is with my phone and taking a picture with my phone, using the Kodak scanning app. In both versions I cropped and auto-adjusted with #irfanview.
The scanner version is definitely better. The fact that the phone version has curved edges is weird; there's a sheet of plexiglass over the film so it's definitely not actually doing that.
Neither my scanner nor my phone are particularly good.

Kodak makes an "official" version of my rigged-up lightbox-and-phone holder scanning thing (https://www.kodak.com/en/consumer/product/printing-scanning/film-scanners/6x6-mobile-film-scanner/). Results probably depend on your phone. If anyone's using this and getting good results, I'd be interested to hear what kind of phone you have.

From my latest batch of pictures on the #KodakBrownie. (This is a car from the Petaluma & Santa Rosa interurban electric railway, not was the #WesternRailwayMuseum, near Rio Vista).

I scanned the negative and inverted it in #IrfanView; I wanted to try this because if I can just pay for film and developing and not prints, it'll make this hobby a lot cheaper.

Hey, it's July 1st, so I guess this is my first entry in the #ShittyCameraChallenge (though I balk at the name since I really like this camera--but I think it qualifies since it originally sold for literally $1).

Wie cool ist das denn?!

Ich kann mittlerweile ein per #Wine emuliertes #Windows Tool unter #Linux als Standardapplikation für eine Dateiendung setzen!

Also das #Nikon RAW Format *.NEF jetzt direkt in #IrfanView mit passendem Plugin öffnen.

*Mind blown*

Mäh. #Irfanview via PortableApps wieder ein fehlerhaftes Update, wo die Konfiguration wieder fest auf einen Pfad auf der D-Partition des Entwicklers statt unter %Appdata% oder %LocalAppdata% festgelegt ist.

#Photoshop habe ich seit 2003 kontinuierlich verwendet bis zur letzten Version, die man noch als InstallationsDVD kaufen konnte.
Den Beitrag monatl. zu zahlen, ist aus vers. Gründen nix für mich.

Der letzte Rechner, an dem die Software installiert ist, ist mittl. in Ruhestand. So, als Billig-Nachfolger-Software verwende ich #IRFANVIEW.

Wie kann ich von einem Bild einen Gegenstand abschneiden? Ich vermisse die Funktion. "Bild zuschneiden" taugt nicht. Doof.

#Linux people: does anyone know of an app as good as #Irfanview, but for Linux?

To be more specific, does anyone know of an image viewer that will handle very old 2-colour #PCX files and (in an ideal world) #Psion PIC files? Because at the moment I'm having to boot a VM and run Irfanview, and it's getting tedious.

I've tried feh, gThumb... Even GIMP won't do it. It's like the world has forgotten this format ever existed.

Gibt es für #Linux einen schnellen (!) Viewer für #RAW #Bilder?

Unter Windows ist der #IrfanView mit RAW-Plugin echt schnell (ca. 500ms je Bild)

Preview unter Mac braucht etwa 2 Sekunden je Bild, das ist mir schon zu langsam.

Gibt's da was flottes für Linux?

Edit: #geeqie ist der Gewinner!
