Nida Schuetlich Teaser

IMG_0469 _ed

Apologize for not updating the past few days. I have been just way too busy. There was a long weekend last week and I was out of the house the whole day during the weekend.

Here’s a ‘teaser’ picture of Nida Schuetlich from Shuraki Box 04. My PC is down again – yes, I am getting a new 500GB hard drive after Japanese class tomorrow and have been backing up my data. Damn those 320GB Seagate Barracudas. I have two (including the current one) that have died on me! Got to get them RMA-ed.

Just a note, I realized that Photoshop doesn’t seem to read my camera’s RAW files properly. After editing a photo in Photoshop and saving it as a JPEG file, the colors are duller and the effects are different from what I want – so I have to turn the effects up way higher than what I see in Photoshop, which is quite a bother. It’s probably my laptop’s (Acer) color management.

Healthy Food

Chicken

Chicken Nuggets anyone?

I’m glad that mom was watching Jamie’s School Dinners on TV just earlier on. It caught my attention and I stayed for about 10 minutes (Well spent) watching it. I didn’t know that Chicken nuggets had contained so much salt, sugar and some *unwanted* substances in it, and given if it was the cheaply manufactured ones, they may even add in other chemicals to ‘cover’ the taste. I’m not going to touch chicken nuggets ever.

Chicken Nuggets
A chicken nugget is a piece of
chicken, either whole or composed from a paste of finely minced meat or chicken skin, which is then coated in batter or breadcrumbs before being cooked.

I did a search on Jamie’s School Dinners and got to the site. It’s pretty interactive with a couple of nice links. I also found episodes 1 – 4 on Bittorrent. They can be found here . This means that I don’t have to stay up to 12am just to watch it :)
Jamie’s School Dinners’ about Jamie Oliver who busts a gut persuading schools to ditch the processed, ready-made junk the students are used to eating, and replace it with fresh, tasty, nutritious food, prepared from scratch every day. In other words, scrap Junk food and replace it with healthy, delicious food.
I hope I will learn alot from this TV documentary. I consume too much Junk Food :/

Shortcuts

Whilst on the channel today, a fellow channeler posted a danbooru link of a Shortcuts (manga) page. Reminiscence of that familiar manga, of which I thoroughly enjoyed.

 

^ This picture is not related to this post. Just here as eyecandy :)

Shortcuts 「ショートカッツ」 is a comedy manga by Usamaru Furuya, who explores the Japanese fascination with kogals (high school girls) in this collection of bizarre shorts. Released in two volumes and originally published in Young Sunday magazine, each volume contains approximately one hunderd ‘cuts’ spanned over one or two pages. Besides it’s primary theme of Japanese kogal and youth culture, it is tackled with the heavy usage of visual jokes, black humor and sex comedy.

    I had the same problem when I tried to use for the first time raw files on photoshop. Apparently Photoshop can’t read Sony raw files and some other camera raws so we have to download a patch so that it can read the raw files.

    Anyway, after touching up my raw pictures and saving them I noticed that they didn’t came out with the colors I wanted after saving them, this was because of the coloring mode I was saving the jpeg files, can’t remember exactly what was the name of the color mode you’re supposed to use so that the jpeg files look the way you see the raw on the photoshop, so you have to save each file with different color modes adobe98, pro photo color, etc… and choose the one you like best. Currently I only use Adobe Lightroom to touch up and organize my pictures.

    looking forward for the pictures :)

    the color difference must be caused by the photoshop color management (SRGB, Adobe RGB, etc.., mozilla only supports SRGB). if it’s your laptop, you will see the same color between adobe and browser, but different color when you see the image on different machine ^^;

    @Belela-san: I guess I’ll give Lightroom a try when I get back home later tonight. I am thinking it is the color management/modes.

    @ron~: Hm.. thanks for the heads up! ^^; Looks like I have to experiment around till I get the desired effects

    Have you tried updating the raw plugin and saving the files as PNG instead? It kinda helps although its hard for me to gauge colours as I am colour blind.

    Like these shots windbell, keep ‘em coming.

    And Firefox only supports SRGB? That’s news to me..

    ron~ is right, I think that was the mode that I currently use the SRGB. You probably want to use that one next time you work on your pictures

    Be waiting on the pictures!!!
    Pictures from a camera and photoshop. I had that problem too. But, like what Ron~ and Belela-san, you just need to make some minor adjustments and your okay…
