Have taken a look into the posts data.
this the export of the forum post only contains your own posts everyone can distribute them here.
Bus this has some pitfalls:
If we got enough data together I will build an interface so everybody can decide witch of his post should be migrated and witch kicked.
Any comment?
I’m not sure why this seems like a good idea.
Any posting / comment of mine that I made to a ~20 year old (long forgotten) dpreview thread would be completely meaningless (and out of context) without the inclusion of the whole thread.
Conversations that took place on dpreview over the decades should be allowed to die in peace.
I don’t have particularly strong feelings either way, but am happy to contribute my posts to the archive. I strongly suspect we lack the critical mass to make such an undertaking useful though.
Many people left the forums years ago, and many are now deceased.
Below is a random (example) post of mine which is of no use here today.
From the Gallery I right click and view image.
I then change the URL TS940x940 to TS1880x1880 and save the 532.84KB image.
Open in photoshop (I work in RGB)
Duplicate layer (layer blending mode normal)
Work on top duplicated layer.
Select blur tool (soft edged brush + master diameter 10 + hardness 0)
Work at 200% zoomed.
Blur the entire edge of your cut-out (people) once... ride on the edge 50/50!
When finished...
Change layer to Luminosity 62% or Darken 92%
Experiment...
Missing fly-away hairs can make it look like a cardboard cut-out!
Your work is very good.
Greg.
you are right an interface to select useful threads is important.
To me it seems like an impossible task, but I wish you well in your endeavors.
