I make mostly (but not exclusively) B&W images (at least for my fine art work). Is it worth using a dedicated monochrome sensor?
Most digital cameras are designed to record color, using a special mask in front of the sensor called a "Bayer filter". This allows color information to be derived from the raw sensor output, which otherwise would just record brightness. But the Bayer filter can also reduce effective resolution of the image a bit.
@mattblaze@reinoudk It would be nice if cameras has B&W color filter simulation. It's not like all B&W is the same... and here, a monochrome sensor may just complicate things?
@mattblaze@reinoudk Yes - but it might be nice if they could also preview color filters - like a red filter for sky contrast. Then again, as you say: it's all in the color picture, and I think it's fine to do this sort of thing in post. Film photography would have also had a color preview (!).
@CStamp@mattblaze@reinoudk Absolutely! But whether it's important to shoot in this or that mode is, I think, up to the artist.
You could stick color filters in front of a color camera, and use B&W preview - and it would end up being much the same as doing it with film photography, with more modern tooling.
@dan131riley@mattblaze@reinoudk yes - my old little Canon 1000D could do it on Linux, but model support can be an issue with the required tools. i used that setup for macro, and it‘s also very cheap. 😁
Okay, #fedipower, ich brauch mal nen Labeldrucker.
Anforderungen:
Eigene Tastatur/Display, mit der ich ohne weitere Geräte Standardlabels drucken kann.
Kann per USB angesprochen werden, um Standardlabel oder Bitmaps von Linux zu drucken (CLI tooling oder einfach nur ein USB-Serial-Socket + Protokollspezifikation würd mir reichen).
Kein DRM auf Tapes und keine Anzeichen vom Hersteller, so was einführen zu wollen.
Wegen 3 seh ich nur Brother, dort aber nix, was 1 und 2 kann. Gibts da noch andere?
@anathem ich habe da was von Brother - einen E550W. Hat mit Koffer auf 10 Jahre gerechnet nicht wirklich krass viel gekostet. Hat ein Display und eine Tastatur, und kann bis 24 mm breit mit abschneiden und anschneiden. Fremdbänder gehen auch - kein Problem. USB geht auch, aber es gibt dafür auf Linux keine gescheite Software - aber eine benutzbare Python-Library. Kleinere Modelle: selbes Ding mit weniger Features. (Rating 4.3/5 - es gibt zwei drei Software-nonfeatures, aber nichts schlimmes)
@anathem Uff. Da scheint sich was verändert zu haben. Es gab da mal nur eine. Müsste ich auch erstmal wieder durchprobieren. Sowas endet leider oft in custom… aber sonst bin ich mit dem Device ganz happy.
Es gab einen Journalisten in der HU, der beim Polizeieinsatz dort von hinten zu Boden geschlagen wurde (und noch mehr), es gibt ein Video von ihm dazu.
every compiler project expands until it creates its own version of TableGen. after that it is swiftly replaced with something that is "not as difficult to use", and the cycle continues
When I went to school, it was a useful skill to fix cable breaks on headphone jacks by cutting the affected part away and solder the ends together. I did it many times for my headsets and for friends. Time has changed. There is no mechanically stressed cable anymore and now headsets are replaced when the battery is too old to work for a day.
@nitram2342 or when one of the vendor bugs hits you. or when the neck cable breaks. or when it has too many Bluetooth exploits. we have an x-ray - it can see those breaks sometimes, but it‘s hard to see with mesh cable.
