see my comments in todays battery question.

And I have always used aftermarket... Voltage is the same... size is the same... a big cost difference. Last as long? Probably, made in the same China factory. Chief EW ...Elitists will waste your money.

PS: the new chargers with LED fullness indicators are great.... packages of 2 batteries and a charger are good deals.

Great Tutorial.

Mr. Google gave me many references on the "displacement filter" Live and Learn

"Breaking News" is the Today-Byword well worn out... And, scientists are Terrified by new findings. I am a scientist and have never been terrified by results... calm passivity is our observational nature.

During the Clinton era, we had a new word to see daily... Gravatos. News commentators learn new words and wear them out. Well, I doubt they know the meaning! Gravitas definition: seriousness or sobriety, as of conduct or speech. Well better than flip-flop. LBJ was effective... but I h**ed to hear him speak... why did he use stupid analogies?

I am waiting for the Supreme Court to say BREAKING NEWS "P**********l Immunity is The Law of The Land." OK, Biden sends in the assassination squad to k**l the conservatives on the court. "Appointed for life" ends quickly with their acceptance of the Second Amendment. That is a quick winning argument it brings the problem home ...

Linda... alcohol, a rocking chair, old 1940s movies, and a Lap Cat**, will be calming... Humming helps too.

Exciting photos we become the bird and experience the different settings.

You used the word neo... Same bird in different environments... similar patterns [bird] ... that may be seen in unrelated widely separated environments. " a new and different form of something that existed in the past" Is that what you meant? Why the word Neo...

"neoevolutionism, school of anthropology concerned with long-term culture change and with the similar patterns of development that may be seen in unrelated, widely separated cultures.

If not why the word NEO?

With my hand I cut the photo in two ... the left side is an epic battle between Blue and Orange!!!
As others have said, WOW~!!!!!!!!

I think this belongs in the Post Processing section or the Main.
But: I have been with Topaz before it was Topaz. My problem with ON-1 is that I purchased Resize in 2018 and to update would have meant a yearly fee. 2018 is lifelong. Does that extend to all things? I am not sure... but the bitter taste lingers.

I have the AI but also kept my Topaz pre AI ... I find that while auto AI is quick and easy... that manual control is at times a better problem-solving choice. I especially like Topaz Clarity for contrast and color adjustment ... each is broken down into stages of tweaks.

This shows the character of a horse better than a detailed photo... I very much like the shading and color change of the background lower right.

Very effective... Well done. I am sure you are getting faster and this shows you have come quickly to great sketching.

Looking back to my painting days in the mid-1960s, I was careful about getting oil paint or charcoal onto the carpet ... no one would notice if you spilled a few photons.

Sorry Linda your photo created a feeling of nausea.
It did what was intended.. so..

MY REACTION TO LINDA'S VERTIGO

Say What!!!! My view is that only the lower half with the animal perched in the tree looking down in puzzlement is the story. Who cares about the height of the trees??? CROP TO THE STORY.

Great artistic work ... but makes me wonder, if you were to try actual charcoal and chalk my bet is it would be marvelous for your ability to be displayed...
ya, I know I am old-fashioned and am dated as prehistoric BC era ... BC meaning... Before Computers.

Some day AI will use her as a model for a Pseudo Robotic Woman.

Oh to be young again....

There are times when less is more, this is one of those times.
