  • Haven’t found Any paid or non-paid software for Android that would have rating/grading of photos.

    Asked on Lemmy, tried almost every editing app there is.

    Lightroom is the only one, and only with subscription, where you could do this.

    Not FOSS alternatives for quick editing are Snapseed and if you have Pixel — Google Photos app.









  • It sea4ches in different languages, but there is no way to force language of the results. Instead, ot tries to be “smart” and uses languages of the region. So it has the same problem Google and Bing does: giving you results in random languages outside of language region (or in multi-lingual regions), even when request is explicitly in language A.

    There is a feature request to implement this setting, but not much hope to have this soon.

    On this note, if someone knows of a search engine that allows specifying language of results, please let me know :)










  • This piece of interview with Roger Corman on Joe Dante’s work on trailers is my fawourite:

    "Were there any elements that you had to tell Dante to tone down?

    Not really. There was one memorable moment when Joe showed me a trailer for a picture just before lunch. I said, “Joe, it’s alright, but it isn’t quite as exciting as I would like it to be.” He said, “Let me work on it through lunch.” I came back after lunch, and it was exactly the same trailer, trimmed a little bit, with an exploding helicopter. I said, “Joe, that’s an exploding helicopter from a war picture we shot in the Philippines!” He said, “Well, don’t you think it helps the trailer?” It did. It was great. And I thought about it for a little while, and I figured, there’s no law that says every scene in a trailer has to be in the picture. So we left it in. After that, whenever Joe had a dull moment in a trailer, he would add the exploding helicopter."
