CVEs and all, but I just can't wait for firmwares for cheaper modern cameras from Sony, Nikon and Panasonic getting hacked and modified too add features from more expensive models.
They're all firmware restricted to justify buying more expensive models, in one way or another way.
Being a bicycle geometry nerd I always look at the bicycle first.
Let me tell you how much the Pro one sucks... It looks like failed Pedersen[1]. The rear wheel intersects with the bottom bracket, so it wouldn't even roll. Or rather, this bike couldn't exist.
The flash one looks surprisingly correct with some wild fork offset and the slackest of seat tubes. It's got some lowrider[2] aspirations with the small wheels, but with longer, Rivendellish[3], chainstays. The seat post has different angle than the seat tube, so good luck lowering that.
This is an excellent comment. Thanks for this - I've only ever thought about whether the frame is the right shape, I never thought about how different illustrations might map to different bicycle categories.
I wonder which model will try some more common spoke lacing patterns. Right now there seems to be a preference for radial lacing, which is not super common (but simple to draw). The Flash and Pro one uses 16 spoke rims, which actually exist[1] but are not super common.
The Pro model fails badly at the spokes. Heck, the spokes sit on the outside of the drive side of the rim and tire. Have a nice ride riding on the spokes (instead of the tire) welded to the side of your rim.
Both bikes have the drive side on the left, which is very very uncommon. That can't exist in the training data.
This was bound to happen. I've edited stills in Resolve for years thinking this day would come. Resolve has supported DNG raw files (as long as they're not converted from funky sensors such as Fujifilm X-trans). But, it was always a bit of a hack.
Kind of stoked to see this release even though I've transitioned to a 100% open source photo workflow on Linux now.
IMO, most exciting developments in photo editing today happens in open source. But this is really something.
Damn, there really are no original ideas anymore. I have been working on essentially the exact thing that Spektrafilm is doing. I'll check that out to see how I can improve my setup.
I tried several times to get Resolve to take my DNG sequences for video (as produced by my Sigma fp), but it only brings them in with very broken and washed out lighting. No combination of settings I've tried either imports them correctly or gives me enough leeway to post-correct them into something usable. Lightworks can handle them better, but is a lot less flexible in color correction, and I don't want to deal with their subscription model.
I looked at more competent alternatives to Scribus for Linux and I must say VivaDesigner[1] looks pretty awesome. It's 149 € for the buy-once version. But I believe you have to pay for upgrades...

DNG support would be pretty awesome too.
