So much happened last week in FOSS: new releases of Gradia, RapidRAW, and displaycal; @GIMP is getting SVG exporting and in-app notifications, @Krita is getting color management support on Wayland, @Blender just got another major corporate sponsor. Unnoticed earlier development: the Surge XT project has an OB-Xd fork as a new arrival

This video was blocked by Bloomberg with a probably fraudulent DMCA claim. I mean it would be too bad if it would get a lot of views now that it is back?

Our orchid is blooming again. It's been at it for 11 years!
This time I decided to play with focus stacking to get all the flowers in sharp focus, while keeping the background uniformly blurred. It came out a little *too well*, almost unnatural. But it was a nice experiment.

Thanks again to @patdavid for the instructions https://patdavid.net/2013/01/focus-stacking-macro-photos-enfuse/

Adobe is now processing all your PDFs in the cloud, by default. The setting to “Enable generative AI features in Acrobat” was on, and I didn’t know it until I opened a document and Adobe asked me if I wanted a document summary. It’s annoying to have to click “No,” so I opened settings to disable the prompt.

THE PROBLEM
I sign Non-Disclosure Agreements for many of my clients. Adobe is a potential leak of protected information. I don’t know what Adobe does with this information. I don’t know what they store, or for how long. I don’t know what country (or countries) the data is stored in. I don’t know what LLMs are trained with this data. And I don’t need to know. What I need to know is that they won’t use default opt-in as a legal excuse to wiretap my information.

I recommend that you check your Adobe settings on all devices, for all Adobe accounts.
