Adobe Lightroom Vignetting

September 8th, 2009

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!

Why does Lightroom’s Post-Crop Vignette tool have to look crappy compared to the Lens Correction tool. The Post-Crop tool looks like the equivalent of going into Photoshop, painting with black over top of the image, and then varying the opacity. Vignetting by way of the Lens Correction tool in the ‘Vignettes’ panel is much more pleasing in my opinion. Rather than sticking some black over your image, it seems to affect the exposure level instead. This look is more akin to using Levels/Curves in PS, and then masking out the appropriate areas.

Why can’t we have the wonderful look of the Lens Correction tool, with the flexibility of the Post-Crop Vignetting tool?

Okay that’s the end of my rant. Peace!

Lazy Boy

August 15th, 2009

I am such a lazy blogger!

When I was in Cambodia, the plan was to blog about my experiences while I was there. That didn’t happen. Why? Because I am a lazy blogger and a born procrastinator. Maybe it was because I didn’t have instant access to the internet while over there. Nope. I have 24hr access now, but I still don’t put anything on this blog.

Oh well… it’s not like anyone is going to read this anyway!

On a side note, I noticed today that if I google ’sokhim’ my blog shows up near the top of the results. Yay!

I AM ALIVE!

June 19th, 2009

Hellllooooo…

I’ve been offline for a few weeks now and it has actually been quite a liberating experience. I’m having fun here in Cambodia. My base of operations has been my uncle’s (dad’s younger bro) house… which is situated right next to a prison! Meeting relatives that I have never met before has been wonderful. Everyone is extremely kind to me and they all take care of me because I’m such a wuss. My lower legs were covered with red spots that were assumed to be mosquito bites. It turned out to be some kinda allergic reaction or something. Apparently it is quite common with people who come here. My sister had the same thing. I went to a clinic, got a shot along with some meds, and I’ve gotten much better. The bad thing is that I am a big time scratcher and because of that I have quite a few scars now.

My buddies Carlos and Fancy made it here safely after some complications with their flights. Everything is more enjoyable when your friends are with you. I am currently in Siem Reap with my mom, two cousins, and Carlos+Fancy. We spent the day checking out the temples at Angkor, then hit the Night Market, and finished off with some grub on the street.

I’m just backing up photos right now and don’t know what else to write so… PEACE!

I promise to try and think of something interesting to post!
