Thanks for the reply.
I’m looking to replace my 2013 Mac Pro. I briefly considered the new Mac Pro, but I do data analysis, not image processing and I decided it didn’t fit my needs. I like the iMac Pro, but I’m waiting in the hope a new version will come out this year.
I’ve got a 16″ MacBook Pro runing OSX 10.15 and it seems stable to me. However, I’m still running OSX 10.14 on my Mac Pro because some of my special tools are 32 bit.
I’m curious, what are your thoughts about using the new Mac Pro for your work?
Hywel,
I’m really glad to know that every photo gets your personal attention. I don’t have the skill or experience to even do some airbrushing. On the other hand, if you ever think some AppleScripts might lighten your workload, let me know. AppleScript is an area where I have some useful competency. Programming is often a useful solution for repetitive work that doesn’t require human judgement.
If time or money were in greater supply, I’d probably go back over all the old sets and reprocess them to get full-sized versions of all the archive sets done as well. Unfortunately that’s very time consuming and the returns on doing so would probably not be a sensible business proposition. I might do that if I ever retire from shooting new stuff, but until then, the new stuff has to take priority!
Hum… If this doesn’t require specialized equipment, could you farm it out to volunteers? I have no idea of the complexity of the manipulations required. I suspect it’s more than just resaving images at a different resolution. On the other hand, if it is a process that can be reduced to an algorithm or procedure others might be able to help.
For example, I have a medium grade Mac Pro (late 2013) and a lot of disk storage. I also have Adobe PhotoShop CS6 and I’m very skilled at writing AppleScript applications to automate tasks requiring the use of multiple applications and multiple steps. On the other hand, I have very little artistic sense and only limited experience in using PhotoShop.
You might try an experiment with some volunteers: Send them a few images or a photo set with instructions and see what results you get. You might need a contract to protect your rights to the images themselves.
I just saw this for the first time. I got it off the archives. I don’t know how I missed it when it first came out.
Wow! That was really terrific. I amazed at Ariel’s abilities – choreographer, dancer, model. The “finished product” part was great. The behind the scenes portions were icing on the cake.
I can see that putting this together was a lot of work and probably a lot more work than most of your videos. Thank you all for going so far above and beyond the ordinary.
Are there any other videos like this that I haven’t seen? Are you planning any more? Please, please, please!
