both images processed in darktable, first exported to jpg, the other exported to 16bit tif, imported to gnu imp, dithered to 8 bits, then exported as jpg.
viewed at 1:1 zoom from a distance far enough that the dither artifacts become invisible the second image should theoretically appear to have more gray tones? i'm not really seeing it though. maybe the lx3 takes low bit depth images, maybe its my monitor, maybe this is just a bad image for it (the effect would be most obvious in gradients). actually, the dithered image appears to lose detail in the darkest shadows so ??? perhaps this is a dead end for now
into the 2400s

i really do think im good at "taking photos"
remembering why i was putting off editing the shots from this show, they weren't that great
been a minute since i brought out the Q
i have cleared backlog up to image 9X9P2019... out of (as of posting) 4006*. yeah. yeah. YEAH.
*many interim images are things i've already edited, and the majority of photos i take are not keepers
from sunday
chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga choo choo
can only see these images tagged to edit for so many months before i either gotta just edit or decide its not really worth editing
endless task
just put a piece of paper on top of the scanner and boom it fixes the light angle problem. still gotta remove the lights from the scanning head though it washes out the image .. and maybe gotta look into writing custom scanner firmware to actually control exposure cuz once those clouds went away i was just getting pure white captures (oh wait i could just make an aperture for the lens. lollll). this shot turned out nice though
