Rancho Agave or Lucky’s? (2 Viewers)

[Rieguy]

If I had $25s...I think I'd agree with you (but can't ever happen). RA are stunners.

I'm with you and agree the $25 is a stunner; blurple is just such a top tier Paulson color. I'm Lucky fortunate enough to not have to discriminate between the two options though...

I still don’t know what witchcraft you practice to photograph blaze orange and have the colors show like that in a bloody home game setup.

Imgur, no editing besides cropping. If you look at my "live stacks thread" pics (example) they're the normal uploads and look like shit (relatively), unlike the below. Always a PM away if anyone needs help w/ that.

Oh look, 32 people who are wrong.

I suspect you have a really well lit room!

And to that point, I'm surprised folks spend as much as they do here on chips, but don't upgrade their lightbulb/lighting game. ha

I forget to use my imgur account sometimes. Top picture with added light, bottom with just light from the window.

You don’t seem like the DM helpful type tbh.

Wait, imgur sounds familiar…

Was the thick black plaque that distracting?

I just hate the effort vs posting pic straight from iphone. Need to upload, then get laptop, then find imgur account, then verify and captcha ‘select all streetlight lamps in these fuzzy pics’ then copy link blah blah blah.

(I don't have to go through all that you're mentioning but Imgur does suck compared to how they were a few years ago, but that's for a different thread I guess.)

Took some digging, but found a solution for phone without imgur.

Example - Image uploaded as-is, vs colors protected (see below note):

Images uploaded directly from a phone often carry a wider color profile (like P3 or Adobe RGB), which many forums don’t handle correctly. When that happens, the platform assumes sRGB and the result is a washed-out, muted image.

To preserve accurate colors, images should be exported in the sRGB color space before uploading.

One free option that works is Pixigy. While some features are paid, basic image conversion isn’t. You can re-save images as JPEG or PNG with an sRGB profile and upload them without color loss. I chose JPEG to keep file size down.

Overall benefit here is obviously images are hosted locally with PCF vs externally (subject to purging).

Test image iphone saved via pixigy app as JPEG

Info:

‘Normal’ original iphone image upload

Test 2: Too much crap in last post, side by side for all you image NITS, top is pixigy and bottom is regular.

Both these photo’s represent a cohesive set that on balance is better than the RA OGs.

 

[Kam]

They look the same.

 

[Cratty]

Did you select sRGB profile as I specifically noted or did you leave default as Display P3 as shown in your above image?

C’mon Kam, pull it together.

Listen, I just came here to buy overpriced clay discs.

And I read <=40% of your unhelpful instructions.

Cratty is the colour godfather, don't question him, just do whatever he says.

I feel about Cratty right now the same way some poor label printer guy in China did after 300 emails about a Tangiers color wheel. F’ him.

Edit:
1. First Pic - Regular iPhone upload
2. Second Pic - Pixigy app iPhone upload
3. Third Pic - IMGUR BBC code link
4. Fourth pic - Pixigy HEIC app iPhone upload
5. Fifth pic - Pixigy PNG app iPhone upload

Thank you cratters. This’ll do nicely, think I get to avoid IMGUR on the laptop and can do a quick pic resave via the Pixigy app on the phone.

 

[Kam]

For anyone else that wants to use this method and doesn’t want to read Cratter’s instructions, it’s the following options to save the image with the Pixigy app - and then upload as normal to PCF:

Now do imgur and see if really better

Need to see Imgur both before and after conversion with Pixigy

 

[Cratty]

Also, this might be a game changer for the burger pron thread.

Mmmm.

Interesting that Imgur is better than uploading directly, but not as good as the Pixigy/sRGB route. I assume imgur performs just as well though if the file is in sRGB first though.

Fun test regardless.

Are you saying the Imgur pic does not look better to you in post 107? Still looks clearly better than pixigy to me.

 

[Tonysquander]

And @Kam, I can bring Lucky’s to DiD if needed, no problemo.

I don’t see any difference in the pixigy and imgur. I’m viewing from an iPhone though.

Imgur is clearly more detailed/sharper looking to me, but looking at it on an iPad.
