There's all sorts of examples of good prints. Some artists did do their own prints for book publications, while others would focus on their medium of painting/sculpture and contract out to a print maker for showing reproductions of their artwork. I do think my research project on the...

OK, then please don't tell me Dürer only did wood prints because of Apocalypse, and I must be thinking about Goya Caprichos if I mention engravings. Dürer has well known engravings, and I'm still shocked you didn't know this (you were adamant he only did woodcuts).

No, I'm thinking of Dürer. 🙄 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melencolia_I You really don't know Dürer also produced engravings??? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_engravings_by_Albrecht_Dürer

Eh, no, Dürer is woodblock and engraving. You didn't know this? You think Melencolia is a woodblock instead of engraving?

I think there's a complication about online distribution also being from smaller collections. For example, I've seen that there's online images of Dürer come from Bridwell Library: which they do have some high quality generations of Dürer plates. Though, I just thought etchings would be one of...

That's cool....there's Dürer plates that haven't been digitally restored? Of course I love Dürer and Rembrandt for their prints (as well as Goya). I grew up in Asheville, which has the Biltmore House. The Vanderbilts were huge Dürer collectors, so it's a good place to go to see Dürer plates...

Yes, as stated, my background is illustration. I was drawing all the time as a kid. Have done way too much figure drawing. Here's one of the best gesture drawings I've done:

Just noticed this edit. I have found there is some learning curve about what area you should select for generative fill to work, and it might not work for a whole area. I also use it for photo retouching. Haven't tried AI for scans of prints/drawings. Since I'm an illustrator, I'd probably...

I don’t find that to be true for me: since I am used to a Wacom tablet I’m very fast with it (and Wacom has had more levels of precision as well as measuring tilt). And again have access to shortcuts (which I’m not going to a tool panel or menu). To each their own.

No it isn't. I'm not much of a 2D animator, but have been a 2D illustrator (as well as storyboard for 3D). My preference about the Wacom tablet (Intous, I learned eye coordination with blank tablet) applies as far as better stylus features and quick access to shortcuts.

Not 3D animation. It's one of the arts segments that's been mainly PC based. 3D animation was first on proprietary high end Unix based workstations. Then when PCs were going to 3D gaming cards, they quickly started becoming more powerful than the Unix workstations. I had an internship at a...

It's about segmentation that Apple does. The iPad is the only Apple device that has a touchscreen and supports a screen stylus. So it's main competitors, are Windows 2-in-1s and Chrome or Windows tablets. With 2-in-1s, you can have a high end graphics card that makes it the fastest...

Yes, and I’ve tried to use Lightroom. Found both limiting compared to full apps on desktop with Wacom (for example, can’t do HDR or pano merges).

I still think the limitation of the iPad is being limited to iOS (and I'm not the only one saying this). The iPad does not have access to actual desktop apps. Speaking as someone who has developed for iOS: it's not recently that there were only iPhone apps. It's been quite a few years with...

Not really sure why we need to engage with any use of factual science. Lets don a wire pyramid on our heads and be at inner peace. Really, just taking some deep breaths and meditating seems way more productive than engaging the *cough* member of trade.

If Apple ever gave it a full OS, it would definitely give all the PC 2-in-1s a run for their money. Better performance with Desktop Adobe and video apps compared to Surface Intel only CPU, and you'd get full audio apps like VOX. It with Magic Keyboard also would rival base Air...and be only...

The most basic way of resizing an image would be multiplying pixels with new pixels of the same values (so similar with audio as far as no difference compared to original). However, there's been quite a few algorithms used throughout the years-well before current AI (resampling an image while...

If you think that, then just stop responding here...no reason to keep feeding.

Forgive me for not reading every post in this ever growing thread....but I seem to remember a post from Castle saying the OP hasn't broken rules, may be playing us for a laugh, and best we laugh. My delineation for engaging science is if people claim CD quality isn't good enough, or what I...

It's really easy to sign up to a forum and stay dormant. I signed up on this site many years ago, was very active then about headphone signatures, and was "Headphoneus Supremus" before likes were a thing. At this day in age, where we have more conspiracy theorists promoting pseudoscience...

From what I can read, currently it's Spotify, then Apple, then Amazon. But all 3 might be considered equal as far as having slightly over 100 million titles. I've been an Apple subscriber myself: included in my cell plan. I also like that since speaker music I listen to is through Atmos...

I remember I responded to this quite awhile ago about how decimal representation happens with computer science, as well as rounding (and how this postulate is absurd). Would like to say it's interesting that this keeps repeating, but at this point.... Can't see how this supposed precision works...

Or that it's just one FR that only early man was exposed to when seeking a waterhole. In reality, its a series of natural EM frequencies distributed in the ionosphere. No scientific consensus about its effect on human behavior, but pushed by new age "holistic energy" crowd...

What's most telling: the cost of a daily manatee premiere screen is over $20 per person. Apparently all that goes to the studio/distributor and the theater gets its money for costly concessions. I decided I should try out a Dolby Cinema theater near me, and have pre-ordered a ticket for the...

I think what's neat about that movie is that the robots were all leg amputees: while it's hard for people with such disabilities to find acting roles...it's probably worst so that these effects would be CG. Bruce Dern is such a timeless actor: he also is a pivotal actor in Palm Royale (but the...
