quote of the day
“Think of how stupid the average person is, and then realise half of them are stupider than that.”
George Carlin
- i think at least 90% of people are average stoopidneverscared
- And often due to no fault of their own. Education inequality is REAL. I feel like calling people stupid will soon be the next 'you can't say that' scenario.Ianbolton
- true... its incomplete anyhow... if u high intel and low on emotion .. that makes bad aesthetics and vice versa... good humanhood aesthetics is based on thatneverscared
- balance of those two.neverscared
- I thought the shonky maths might get called out, but yes ian you’re probably right. Although I hope not. Forever stupid.MrT
- Haha. Me too buddy. Let's embrace human stupidity. Just try to be kind to one and other. Remember when people used to buy cigarettes with Asbestos filters? LOLIanbolton

Artificial Intelligence
Don't overlook the power of using ChatGPT or Claude to write scripts to use in Photoshop that go 1,000,000 beyond what an PS Action could do.
I picked up the Rizzcraft PS bushes from True Grit Texture Supply last week for my son's iPad, and got to exploring them in PS on desktop a few days ago. The brushes emulate Risograph printing and have weights of 10% to 100%. Also comes with a 79 color swatch library.
I manually created some sample color fills, 10"x10" at 300 dpi to use in my code-based art application I built over the past couple of years. Realized it would be great to have individual sets of all 79 colors at all weights.
Yeah, that would take forever manually, whether I reapplied the brush each time, or did a color replace.
Brainstormed with ChatGPT and it wrote a script that I can run in PS that takes the PSD I have open with the brush used to fill a transparent layer, gives me a dialog box to specify the weight to be used in a custom file name - Rizzo_[weight]_COLOR NAME.png - imports the swatches from an .aco file, and lets me choose the output folder.
It cycles through a color replace for all 79 colors, saves as transparent PNG files, and completely bypasses any manual save interactions in PS.
Took two minutes to do that to 79 colors. All I have to do is clear the layer, apply the next weight brush, and run the script again. Ultimately I end up with 790 individual PNGs comprised of each of the weights offered in the brushes. Won't take me more than 30 minutes I'd estimate. Doing it manually would take me more than a day of time I absolutely don't have.
THIS is how you use AI to speed things up and reduce the tedious time it takes to do so many things. It just take a little imagination and ability to explain what you want to do.

- Thats awesomeinstrmntl
- https://vk.ru/wall-1…robthelad
- What about having AI add support for .aco files to your art app? Then you don’t need the intermediate png files.pusherbot
- Also, Graintouch has some nice ideas for Riso emulation. https://iorama.subst…pusherbot
- pusherbot - Interesting idea. My app uses hex colors grouped as palettes, all stored in a DB. They render as solid color fills. This approach is a bit differentmg33
- To get the color interaction through different weights of the brushes, I kind of need those colors as images.mg33
- But... if it were possible to save a 10x10 svg of the applied brush - 1 image per all 10 weights - I can apply hex colors to that svg and not need the 790 imgs.mg33
- The only catch is... images get inserted into shapes, and I've got a full library of svgs, squares, triangle, etc. etc. I'd need to think through a major updatemg33
- that would let me choose svg patterns to fill shapes with, and apply the color from a palette. Will have to put some thought into this. Thx for the idea!mg33

The Guitar Thread
Joe Pesci’s Gibson Nighthawk
I recently helped out a close friend who is the nephew of actor Joe Pesci. As a thank you, he gave me the guitar on a sort of permanent basis. Not sure if many know, but Joe is a well accomplished guitarist and singer and goes way back to early days with Frankie Valli singing on street corners.
This particular Nighthawk was originally owned by Sammy Kershaw when Gibson gave him a few during the Nighthawk’s initial release back in ‘93. It wasn’t a popular model but it has its own charm and sounds really great.
Kershaw gave this to Joe as the two are close friends and Pesci was guest performing on country tours.
