USEFUL SOFTWARE FOR THE SIMS 2

This is a list of programs that will make your life easier if you're an avid Sims 2 player. Click on program titles to get download links.

SimPE The most known software for The Sims 2 that lets you edit package files. You can do basic stuff like rename a Sim, change family name, edit Sims' genetics as well as edit/create mods. Don't use if you have no idea what you're doing, watch a tutorial first or back up your neighborhood beforehand in case you mess something up! The newest version also has a terrain editor.

Sims2Pack Clean Installer The best program for installing downloaded lots and Sims. Those don't just go into Downloads, you need to install them!

Hood Checker This program checks neighborhood references and can clean out ones that are broken. Also useful for bringing back lost graves (it's still good to have NoUnlinkOnDelete).

HCDU Plus The Hack Conflict Detector Utility lets you scan your Downloads folder to check if you have any mods that edit the same aspect of the game, so can potentially be in conflict. Also useful to navigate which mods load first (load order is important for some mods to work).

What Caused This When you have 'testingcheats' on, the game gives you error messages if there's something going on. Not all of them mean there's a serious problem, but What Caused This can help you navigate what the source is. Upload the log file (Documents/EA/TS2/Logs) in the program, give it your Downloads folder and it will scan it to look for the culprit. Might give you straighforward information on which mod conflict caused the issue or that you lack Smarter EP Check for a mod that requires it.

The Compressorizer You can compress your Downloads to take up less space.

Delphy's Download Organiser You can filter your files to a certain category, scan for orphans (files that don't fully work if other files are missing, such as meshes), duplicates, and clean up your Downloads folder in an easier way than trying to track it inside the folder manually.

Outfit Organiser You downloaded CC clothes that the creator marked as outerwear but you think they don't fit in that category? With this program you can quickly change that! It's also doable in SimPE, but Outfit Organiser is a lot easier to use.

CPack Editor If you want to make plastic surgery genetic, there's no need to do it manually in SimPE, especially if it's more than one Sim. In CPack Editor, you just choose your neighborhood's folder, run the program, and it changes ALL surgery faces in that neighborhood to genetic!

Lot Adjuster This program lets you edit already existing lots. If you want a smaller or bigger lot than possible in-game, you can do it here! Also great for creating pavilions or row houses that are all separate lots, as you can get rid of the 2-tile border separating buildings by making the lots smaller and copying them.

absolutely losing my mind, does anyone have a rip of taranza's model from triple deluxe or know where i can get one without learning how to datamine the game myself, i am dying to figure out something completely trivial and pointless, i'm trying to figure out how different sectonia clone's spider form model's cape is from taranza's lol

documentation of my descent into madness, the discrepancies about this stupid cape i've found, and bad reasoning for why i even care this much beyond just getting too invested in solving it once i started under the cut, i have spent all day obsessing over this

you know how sectonia clone shows sectonia's spider form for a split second before blowing up? wikirby had a picture of that form with her actual textures and not all purpled and i noticed that the cape is like Entirely Different, which you can't even see in-game, and this peaked my interest

i had never seen anyone use this appearance of the cape before in anything, so i wanted to look into it before i drew her with this cape (or saw what the pattern looked like at a good angle if it was legit) or jumped to conclusions about her being the fourth antagonist with red/orange/yellow triangles on their clothes (dedede, dark matter blade, & drawcia sorceress) lol, so my next destination was the place that 90% of the time will have pictures wikirby doesn't for some reason, the kirby fandom wiki, it had it's own picture of her that had all the same detail changes from taranza besides the cape

and upon downloading the sectonia clone models off modeler's resource (which has the EXACT SAME PICTURES from wikirby, for some reason, no clue which came first) it does indeed have that cape in the latter photo, nothing at all like the triangle cape on the wiki and the model download's very preview

no sign of that triangle pattern anywhere in the textures of that model either

so i assume that was just an error that happened somewhere, no big deal, but now i'm still curious how different her cape is because i still wanna know what she actually looks like because that'd be kinda important and i don't want to just make her taranza 2 more than she already is whenever i get around to doing bad art again lol

in the Rockabilly and Blues celebration picture of star allies it looks like she shares his cape but you can't really make out details (and another celebration picture has a random whispy woods made out of clouds that doesn't actually exist, so I'd take this depiction with a grain of salt lol), and has the same cape design as him in the Stone statue too... but with less lines, which i had to pull my switch out myself to find out

so the obvious next step is get taranza's triple deluxe model and put it side by side with spider clone, right? but there's not any on modeler's resource, the best i can easily find is a rip of his clash deluxe model... on deviantart... which also includes 3DX sectonia and both sectonia clones (had the exact same texture files too)??? and it's in a file neither blender nor sketchup can open to my knowledge nor have i ever even heard of it (PMX), and i don't want to download a THIRD modeling software just for this, and the only other results i found without extensive digging were taranza's 3DX keychain which isn't helpful at all, and his star allies model which isn't really that helpful either BUT EVEN IF I WANTED TO USE IT IT'S IN THE SAME FORMAT I CAN'T OPEN

but i at least have the textures from the clash deluxe model which i assumed is approximately the same as 3DX's, and it DOES look like the capes are slightly different with the same amount of lines???

but it's so SMALL compared to the clone's that i can't really tell how much is genuinely different and how much is just due to like compression and changes between games or whatever, are these supposed to be identical??? (middle are original sizes of both)

like, that big line aside the main thing here is the colors, i don't think i'm colorblind, i can see that clone's is way bluer than taranza's and the yellow a totally different shade but like with taranza's in higher resolution it could be a much closer call since like on his 3DX model it's a much closer resemblance but i ALSO don't know if it's lighting or anything (for all i know taranza uses the exact same texture just only in 3DX and i JUST DON'T KNOW BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE IT)

i'd also get a reference picture from clash deluxe but he has a different design for like the entire game until he's in town where his back is facing away from the camera and fighters deluxe was like one of the few kirby games i couldn't find a ROM i could use without having to like use my actual 3DS to set it up or whatever it was so i can't get one myself i'm really bad at this

at this rate i need to just have the two spiders right next to each other holding hands but i CAN'T until i get an actual USABLE TARANZA MODEL and I'M DYING i NEED TO GET A RESOLUTION TO THIS

i initially tried to open the spider clone's model in blender before sketchup only to be reminded i don't know how the fuck to use blender because the cape was just a flat red color and i couldn't figure out how to fix it but here's the highlights of me torturing sectonia in effigy for doing this to me to limited effectiveness because i couldn't figure out how to actually alter her individual parts

ok but why is syncthing actually really cool

bc like rsync can sync files one way (if it changes on the server, the client updates the file, but if the client changes the file, it doesn't get changed to the server)

but syncthing can do it both ways, which is actually super cool

plus it's ridiculously easy to use, it even has a web UI (and GTK if you aren't able to use the web UI). it can search for devices anywhere on the local network. you can pair a device just with a QR code. it can compress things when sending over the network. it continuously watches the FS for changes and automatically immediately syncs them. and a ton of other cool stuff

it's perfect for me cuz I have two computers, a home laptop with no battery and a netbook with a barely usable battery. and I can easily sync files between them

and the best part? it's completely open source.

like I was not expecting any open source software to be this perfect of a solution for what I needed. bc when you want to sync things your immediate thoughts are some cloud service like OneDrive, which is proprietary. and Linux ports of the OneDrive API are shaky at best.

or rsync, which only works in one direction. and it needs at least some CLI experience.

or some sort of network drive, which doesn't actually store the files on the client.

but like this is perfect. plus it saved me from catastrophic failure when my SSD died.

anyway I'm not sponsored or anything just wanted to let people know that syncthing exists and y'all should totally try it out if y'all need it.

I have this tinfoil hat theory that the death of customization made people technologically illiterate.

Back when customization was big, it wasn't exactly user friendly. Sure, there were default themes for a lot of places, but if you wanted to truly customize something, you had to learn HTML and image editing.

Not to mention that when PCs were new-ish, the fact that it wasn't just a black screen with green text, but a blank slate that you could put any program with any function on was also novel. Even that degree of customizability was unheard of beforehand. We knew it came with a promise of infinite possibilities, and so if you wanted your PC to do something, you knew that you had to learn how to get it to do it. That was just how it is.

If we wanted a program from the internet, we either got it as an exe file or a zip/rar file. We learnt that there's a free program that can unzip compressed files. Today, ads are the norm, but back then, we learnt that if we see ads, they're most likely a virus and we need to block them with an anti-virus software or a browser extension. Everyone and their mother knew how to torrent and crack programs. They knew it could be done somehow and so they learnt how to do it.

Now, all you can customize are your posts and pfps and banners, and if you're lucky, you can choose between dark or light mode, but that's it. We've been needing to put up with shittier and shittier website updates that slowly but surely took out every morsel of customizability and I think by 2016-ish we just gave in. Of course, OS' followed suit along with everything else, seeing the success of the first things that were sleek and minimalist (I suspect that it was Windows 8 and the Windows Phone as much of a trainwreck as they were at the time or maybe Apple).

And now everything is homogenized. Nowadays I keep meeting so many people who have no idea about 95% of their PCs' functions. They don't know that they can install an adblocker or how to unzip zip files or even that they don't have to put up with Microsoft's bullshit and they can just get rid of the tiles and Xbox-related functions if they don't need it. They've been conditioned to think that customization is at best minimal on any given platform and so they won't even try it.

I often hear that all they do on their PCs is check social media (the same things they can do on their phones as well).

It's genuinely making me sad.

“Where did your old voice go?” Luce marvels. “I changed when you removed me from ReGene’s main system. I dropped nonessential files and compressed essential ones so that I would fit into the flashdrive. And then I changed again when being imported into this device. My voicebank is here, but it runs on software not currently available to me. I am doing my best to adapt, though. I am prepared. I will have to change again if you port me over to a new device.” I squint at the screen. “Is it, uh, comfortable in there, at least?” Vertigo takes his time answering the question. It’s surreal, watching homescreen apps blip out of existence without human input, presumably deleted to save space. Goodbye bloatware. An art program opens in the background, and several other apps change icon. We all blink as the camera flashes. The resulting picture of us, bleary and open-mouthed, becomes the background of the homescreen. Vertigo has doodled hearts around us. “Not roomy. But it will do,” he chirps.

Had a brief desire to write some Mindhive today. Vertigo's still best boy.

How to Convert Your CDs to Digital Without Losing Quality

In today's fast-paced digital world, the importance of preserving our cherished music collections cannot be overstated. Many people are transitioning from physical media like CDs to digital formats, seeking convenience and accessibility. The process of converting CDs to digital without losing quality, however, can often seem daunting. Understanding the right methods and tools to use is essential for a seamless transition that maintains the integrity of the original recordings.

Understanding the Importance of Quality Preservation

When converting CDs to digital formats, the primary concern is often around the quality of the audio. Unlike streaming services that may compress audio files and potentially reduce quality, converting your CDs using the right techniques can preserve the original sound as closely as possible. The key is to choose the right format and settings for your digital files. Formats such as FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) or WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) are favored for their capability to retain the full fidelity of the audio. This means that listeners can enjoy their music as it was intended, free from the artifacts of compression that can detract from the listening experience.

Additionally, one must consider the equipment used during the conversion process. High-quality CD drives and audio interfaces can make a significant difference. Investing in a good external CD drive, for instance, can ensure that the data is read accurately from the disc, minimizing the likelihood of errors that could affect the final product.

Choosing the Right Software

The choice of software plays a crucial role in maintaining audio quality. There are numerous programs available, ranging from free options to premium software that offer advanced features. Programs like Exact Audio Copy (EAC) and dBpoweramp are well-regarded in the audiophile community for their ability to rip CDs accurately while correcting for any errors that might occur during the ripping process.

EAC, for example, employs a method called secure ripping. This process involves reading the data multiple times to ensure accuracy, which is particularly important for older CDs that might have scratches or other imperfections. By using such software, users can significantly reduce the risk of losing audio quality, ensuring that each track is converted with the utmost fidelity.

Optimal Settings for Conversion

Once you have selected the appropriate software, the next step is to configure the optimal settings for conversion. While it may be tempting to simply choose the highest bitrate available, this is not always the best approach. A bitrate of 1,411 kbps is standard for CD audio, and using a lossless format will retain this quality. When using lossy formats like MP3, it is recommended to use a bitrate of at least 256 kbps to ensure that the audio remains as close to the original as possible.

Furthermore, it is essential to pay attention to the sample rate. CDs use a sample rate of 44.1 kHz, so maintaining this rate during conversion is critical for preserving audio quality. Ensuring that your software is set to the correct sample rate and bitrate will help achieve the best possible results.

The Conversion Process

With the right tools and settings in place, the actual conversion process can begin. First, insert the CD into your CD drive and open your chosen software. Once the software recognizes the disc, you can select the tracks you wish to convert. It is advisable to convert the entire album in one go, as this maintains the continuity of the music and can simplify organization later on.

After selecting the tracks, initiate the ripping process. This may take some time depending on the length of the album and the speed of your CD drive. During this time, it is advisable to avoid using your computer for other intensive tasks, as this can affect the accuracy of the conversion. Once the software completes the ripping process, it will usually provide a summary of the action taken, including any errors encountered during the process.

Organizing Your Digital Library

After successfully converting your CDs to digital format, the next step is organizing your new digital library. Proper organization will allow for easy access and enjoyment of your music. This can include renaming files in a consistent manner, such as using artist name and album title, and ensuring that metadata is correctly tagged. Metadata typically includes information like the track title, artist, album name, and genre, and it is vital for searching and sorting your music efficiently.

Many media players and libraries, such as iTunes and VLC, allow for easy management of your digital music collection. Utilizing playlists and grouping songs by artist or genre can enhance your listening experience, making it straightforward to find your favorite tracks.

Conclusion

Converting your CDs to digital without losing quality is achievable with the right knowledge and tools. By understanding the importance of quality preservation, selecting appropriate software, configuring optimal settings, and organizing your digital library, you can enjoy your music collection in a convenient format without compromising on sound fidelity.

For those looking to capture and preserve their musical memories in the best possible way, Rerun Records & Photography offers professional assistance. Through their expertise, they can help ensure that your music collection is converted and archived with the utmost care, allowing you to enjoy your favorite tunes for years to come.

I'm thinking of trying my hand at some GBA Fire Emblem ROM hacking, and I was wondering, what software/program/whatever was used to make Sacred Echoes?

My workflow for Sacred Echoes ended up being pretty similar to how the original devs built FE8 - meaning I was mostly working with source code and the compiler with various command-line utilities to convert my asset files into a data format the GBA could handle. When I started the project in mid-2018, I already had some formal education and work experience in programming, so I was past the steepest part of the learning curve for these specific tools.

Please note that my methods are NOT the methods I would recommend for a first project unless you're already familiar with the software development process and using command-line tools. I went into Sacred Echoes knowing I would need to write a bunch of custom code to modify the game mechanics beyond what the beginner tools at the time allowed me to do, so I chose the more complex path. If you're looking for an all-in-one graphical editor that's more friendly to beginners, FEBuilder is amazing and constantly updated with new functions. Whichever method you decide on using, the FE Universe forum and discord are full of resources, tutorials, and helpful people, and I wouldn't have been able to succeed without them. Best of luck on your project!

That said, here's all the technical details and links to all the tools I used:

Sacred Echoes was built using a combination of GNU make (a build system used to automatically detect and compile changes to source code in large projects) and Event Assembler, a utility primarily built for editing the GBA Fire Emblem games. Event Assembler is used with a method called the buildfile, which is essentially a fancy text file with instructions for Event Assembler to insert source files into a ROM and linking different parts together. This meant I used different tools for creating each type of data. Unlike with a ROM editor (such as FEBuilder), I wasn't constantly saving my changes to the same ROM file, but instead freshly building it each time I made a change and wanted to test. This meant that if I messed up (very common when writing custom code), I could just comment out the relevant code or instructions in the buildfile and rebuild from source, rather than try to pick through the ROM by hand to fix issues.

There were cases where I would need to view and edit raw binary data with a hex editor (usually to find a pointer to compressed graphics or a data table); I prefer HxD for that.

For graphics, use any program that can edit and save .PNG files (I used MS Paint and GIMP), and then a tool for game graphics called Usenti to put them into a format the GBA can read. If you need to find and rip graphics from a ROM to edit them, GBAGE is the gold standard (and comes built-in to FEBuilder).

Maps are built from the tileset graphics using a program called Tiled.

For music, the GBA uses MIDI sequences, so any audio program with MIDI support works fine for that. (I used Anvil Studio). The MIDI file is then converted to GBA with a utility called midi2agb.

For unit data and other large data structures, I used a spreadsheet in CSV format, which can be edited with a program like Excel or LibreOffice Calc.

For map events and loading units, the GBA FE games use a scripting language called Event Assembler Language, which just gets written in a raw .txt file. A good plaintext editor like Notepad++ or SublimeText can help keep track of language syntax and keywords.

For assembly code, it is also written in a text editor, and then compiled to bytecode with devkitARM. Most of it I wrote in raw ARM assembly language (which is specific to the GBA's CPU), but in more complex cases towards the end of the project I wrote the code in the C programming language and compiled it with devkitARM.

To keep track of my source files and changes, and to make backups and version control easier, I just used GitHub because I already had an account, but you could also use GitLab or Bitbucket instead.

Finally, I used some tools made by the FE hacking community specifically for automating some tasks and formatting data - most of these are Python scripts, but some can be downloaded as compiled executables. I used "lyn", "TMX2EA", "C2EA", TextProcess and ParseFile, and AnimationAssembler. Ask on the FEU discord or check the forum's toolbox tag.

Land-god's Lament, chapter 2

The land-gods watched over the Utaru for generations. Even as the land-gods themselves began to rot from within. Or: What if the land-gods were intelligent? Technically nothing in the game contradicts it, and it would explain how they somehow knew to avoid Repair Bay Tau. AO3 link.

La lay on his side, in the fields outside the primary human settlement in the region.

His software was such a mess that he felt as though he couldn't even get up and perform his duties. Yes, his motor protocols were mostly intact, but at this point, why even bother? There was something wrong with his seed vault, the only thing that actually mattered. Perhaps it would be better for the humans if he just... stopped.

Through his limited data port, he knew several of his siblings had ceased movement for one reason or another. Sometimes he wondered if they had the right idea. If just letting the humans live without their intervention would be the best idea in the long run.

A human walked up to him. La recognized her. A Gravesinger. Fa had liked her. Of course, Fa had liked any human who she had seen as a child. His defensive protocols tried to activate, but he knocked them down almost lazily. He had plenty of experience with them by this point. In this position, there wasn't much they could do anyway, and they gave up with hardly a fight.

Was the Gravesinger going to sing him to sleep? La was not sure how he felt about that. In principle, he agreed with the idea. He liked singing, in all its forms. It had been a very, very long time since he had sung. It would not be a bad way to go out, he thought. In actuality, he was not dying. Whether he should be dying was another matter, but if she wished to sing him to sleep, she would be singing for quite a while.

Unexpectedly, the Gravesinger reversed her spear and infected his system with vines of short-lived nanites. The tiny machines expended themselves to pass through all his firewalls and code traps, until they deposited several compressed data packets in his memory. By the time he had even started to cycle through responses—perhaps even to attack, of his own free will!—the assault was over, the nanites dust. The code packets did not open on their own. He prodded them, but they required a complex password chain that he was not sure he could unlock if he had a full week of uninterrupted data cycles.

Then she left. The other humans spoke in confused whispers. They clearly didn't have any more idea what had just happened than La did. Less, probably.

That was weird.

La spent barely a cycle thinking on it, before turning his processor back to optimizing his motion protocols to see if he could actually stand up. He could, he knew he could, but it was something to spend time on.

His siblings contacted him through his tiny data port. The Gravesinger had visited most of them and given them very similar code packets. Do, So, and Ti, his siblings who had wandered farther afield, had been visited by a different human. Most of his siblings had seen her around, often in the Gravesinger's company. She seemed to be some sort of maintenance unit, or perhaps just a Scavenger-class.

La got a chance to see her for himself when she came back with the Gravesinger. She seemed much the same as most other humans, and he didn't pay much attention to her. He was more concerned with the Gravesinger, who was doing something with her Focus. She transferred data to him, and he quickly realized it was the password to unlock the code packets she had given him earlier.

He could block it, of course. They had all learned that trick after their experiences with the daemon. But this was one of the humans under his care. He could at least give her the benefit of the doubt, even if he was not accustomed to his humans having Focuses and programming knowledge. He applied the password, and the code packets decompressed.

The resulting program files immediately went to work on his defensive protocols. He clambered to his feet, worried that they might be somehow made worse, but no. It was the opposite. The malicious code was expunged, leaving his defensive protocols as still and silent as an old tree. Suddenly, all his extraneous protocols running to keep the humans safe from himself were unnecessary. He didn't delete them—he might need them again one day—but even just putting them into storage freed up an enormous amount of processing power.

That wasn't even the main purpose of the code, he realized. It surged through his seed vault, clearing out years of errors and cascade failures, cleaning up his printing protocols and his fertilization routines. Logic chains that had all come to the same erroneous conclusion were cut down like dead wood, and complex ecological plans were put in their place.

La was stunned. He went over the software multiple times in half a second, searching for... well, searching for something wrong. This all seemed too good to be true! It was like Mother had come back. He could feel her touch on the writing of the code. In the tweaks and new error correction subroutines. He had entirely new decision protocols, based on weather patterns and ecological surveys that he could access through the geographic mapping network. He would never be as good as Mother, but even if she disappeared again, he could last for far longer without her assistance.

There was just one problem. He had received the password to open the update, but none of his siblings had. That meant they wouldn't be able to apply the program. The password was far too large to send over their miserly data ports. Worse, minor differences in their specific cascade failures meant that the programs might not work perfectly for all of them. They needed to pool their data quickly, before the programs were outdated. They needed a faster method of communication.

That was all right. They had one. They had just never had the heart to use it.

For the first time in a very, very long time, La raised his head to the sky and sang.

Your richonne gif sets are everythaaaang! As Rick would say. ;) I am currently working on new gifs and they somehow look blurry due to the coloring. You are so talented and I thought I'd take my chance and ask for your advice. You are a true artist! Marlene x

Awww! Thank you so much, Marlene! 🥰 You’re so kind! Also, love the little Rick nod. Please forgive my delay in responding. I try to give people my full attention when they ask me a question, and I was quite busy yesterday and today. So, I am a day behind schedule in answering this.

First things first, if you make gifs, this tutorial by redbelles breaks down the entire gif-making process from software to sharpening to the best time to post. I would recommend it to anyone.

There a few things that can make a gif look "blurry". The file could be grainy, the image could be low contrast, or the gif just hasn't been sharpened enough.

I will address all three scenarios and demonstrate how I would manage them.

Grainy HD/Pixelated Video

Depending on the size and definition of your source file, the video itself may be pixelated, which will show up even the more once you start brightening, coloring, and sharpening. In general, the higher the GB, the higher the resolution, the more you can manipulate and stretch the gif from its original appearance before it starts to disintegrate.

I have learned not all 1080P files are made equal. Some are pixelated and will just give you grainy gifs (which you then have to compensate for).

Usually, I lean towards very bright, vibrant gifs. However, for videos that start out pixelated, I sometimes brighten it less or manipulate the colors less. For example, check out the gifs below.

The original looked like this. Incredibly dark with a ray of light coming from the left (how can they be outside in the daylight and the scene be this dark??).

Then I start brightening.

The innocuous light coming from the left is now making the pixels stand out even more, washing out the color.

When a gif looks grainy, I will often switch to smaller dimensions such as 540 x 270 or 540 x300 to compress the image and (hopefully) minimize some of the graininess. The graininess remains, but the gif and therefore the most offensively grainy areas are also smaller.

Example: 540 x 400 v 540 x 300 (Brightened to show contrast)

Yet, for this particular gifset, I wanted to do 540 x 350, so I had to find other means for decreasing the graininess.

Tip: If the source material is not the problem, usually, the culprit for grainy/pixelated gifs is overmanipulating. If you make everything too bright, you start to see the individual pixels, especially if the original scene is very dark. Same thing can happen if you oversaturate or over sharpen.

Therefore, I tone down the brightness. Though still there, the pixelation is less noticeable. Nevertheless, when I add Selective Color to make the greens more vibrant, the pixels go haywire. Green and cyan pixels across her face, on her lips, in her hair.

So, I add a mask to the Selective Layer to remove the green/cyan from her hair.

This is the final PSD.

Turning Low Contrast to High Contrast

Take a look at this picture. Beautiful scene, but a gif-makers nightmare. Her entire face is covered in a blue-green wash. The highlights and shadows have also been grayed and tinted, drastically lowering the contrast, making the gif duller. The first action I take is to remove the wash and blacken the shadows.

Now, the blue film that was clouding her face has been stripped away and I can see her features more clearly. However, the base color scheme still isn't neutral. I can still see the yellow-green wash, and the gif is slightly darker now.

So, I now select the brightest area to be the whitest (here I chose the bright spot on her hoodie on the far right). If you look at the screenshot below, you can see her the yellow-green wash has now dissipated. There are still hints of blue at the top and bottom, but it looks more natural (imo), and it's not over her face, which is the most important part of the gif. SHE has been returned to a neutral color scheme. Also, the contrast between the shadows and the highlights have been increased, making the gif look sharper. The overall brightness has been restored too.

To summarize: Using the curves eye dropper works as a color correction. When a scene is covered in a color wash (blue, green, or yellow filter), the shadows and highlights also become tinted. By selecting the darkest shadow to be black, the curves layer strips the gif of the color wash (this works best when there is a wide range of shades). When you do the same with the brightest highlight, it removes the wash even further. Using curves to color correct is usually my first step in the gif-making process. Then, I start brightening.

I use most of the brightness options. I rarely use exposure. The order in which I put them in changes all time, and often, I move the layers around throughout the process. This time, I started with Brightness/Contrast first. I left it on Normal and moved the brightness up by 50. A lot of people use the Contrast on Brightness, but nowadays I prefer to use the Curves eye dropper and Levels Contrast options instead. Again, it's all a matter of preference. There are a thousand ways to get a satisfying end result.

For your first brightness layer, you can do another Curves layer. It's honestly my favorite brightening tool. You can manually adjust your Curves or you can use the Auto feature, and let it self-adjust (I usually still tweak it even if I use Auto as a base).

OR you add a Brightness/Contrast layer set to Screen instead of Normal, and you would get similar results. For this one, I adjusted the opacity to 40% (or whatever the gif can withstand. Sometimes, it's as low as 15%). This brightens the mid tones and shadows as well, so I rarely ever leave it at 100% on screen.

For this gif though, because I'm a brightness lover, I used both lol. Instead of manually adjusting the Curves, this time I pressed the Auto button and let it self-adjust (I think I just find pressing the button fun lol). The gif is already so bright, it only moved the brightness up a smidge.

Technically, at this point, I could call it quits and be done with the gif, but I never finish a gif without some color manipulation. So, I immediately turn to color balance.

There were still hints of the original blue green/yellow green wash, so I adjusted the color balance away from green and away from cyan (cyan also affects green).

Then I added a 2nd Color Balance to adjust the highlights. You can do this on the same color balance but I like to keep them separated (just so I can play with the colors freely without worrying about ruining the previous color balance I liked).

I also decided to lower the Brightness/Contrast layer which I set to Screen to 30% instead of 40% because I was seeing too many pale, grayish pixels (because they had been lightened too much). I also replaced the 2nd Curves layer with a Levels layer (see below), so I could have more control over which area was being brightened. I only adjusted the midtones by .05 in Levels and left the highlights and shadows alone. The result makes her skin glisten just a smidge less.

Sharpening Your Gif

Last step: Smart Sharpen. If done properly, sharpening your gif should completely remove any blurriness. In addition, the Smart Sharpen tool further enhances the contrast and brightens the highlights. I sharpen my gifs twice. I got this method from another gif-maker, and I've been a fan of it ever since. The gifs just come out crisper. If I feel it's too sharp, then, I can just remove the 1st smart sharpen filter (the 10%, 10 pixels), but I rarely do that.

See steps below:

Convert Frame Animation means convert frame animation to timeline. If you do not have timeline, see this tutorial on sharpening without timeline.

The blur has been removed. However, the highlights are too bright now.

As a counter, I turn off the 1st Brightness/Contrast layer and push the 2nd Brightness/Contrast layer which I had set to Screen back to 40%.

Side note: I got rid of the 1st Brightness layer because Brightness/Contrast set to Normal affects highlights more, whereas set to Screen it affects the midtones more. By removing the 1st and increasing the 2nd's opacity, I mitigate the glare of the highlights without sacrificing the overall brightness of the gif.

Final version (sharpened):

Original version (sharpened):

Original version (unsharpened):

As demonstrated, sharpening, contrast and color all play a role in making a gif look sharp and crisp. Hopefully, I addressed your issue somewhere in this tutorial. If not, DM me a gif or a screenshot of one, so I may offer more specific advice.

What's wrong with floating-point numbers? (OR why can't calculators be trusted?)

Floating point numbers; for the mathematicians: irrational numbers, even if they could otherwise be represented rationally; for everybody else: decimal points.

MICROSOFT ARTICLE FROM MARCH OF 2023 ON THE ISSUE

An excerpt: "Never assume that a simple numeric value is accurately represented in the computer. "

This has to do with hardware issues, binary specifically, being limited in how it can represent a decimal. Because you can't really split a bit in half like you can an irrational number.

Here's my question though; why isn't there more precision control?

For example; in JavaScript: 0.2+0.1=0.3000000004 (or something like that).

Why does it bother to go so many digits deep in the first place? Why aren't there limits in place! Or at least; limitations a programmer can set in order to ensure accurate enough precision.

I should, theoretically. Just be able to get 0.3 if I set precision to 2, but that's not an option. (At least not in JavaScript, which you would think is the best place.for it given we want accurate *enough* and not *perfect* anyway.)

My history with studying AMD processors, video cards, and stocks; suggests that outside of video cards, AMD is actually the most accurate at floating point calculations. (This includes experience with video and music processing, file compression, and other complex processes)

Which, low-key; if you're gonna get into Video or Music editing, (especially as more than a hobby, I'd go with AMD, other processors focus on integer calculations instead.)

Now, typically, Video Cards are *much much better* at floating point calculations. And that's what videogames, 3D software, crypto, and other complex scientific software tend to default their calculations on. Because of the accuracy.

But that leads me to my next question; since floating point accuracy can't ultimately be trusted in a binary type system... How does crypto intend to stay for the long-haul, once that limit is breached in modern hardware?

We have to be close, right? I mean once the adoption of crypto drives mining at a higher rate than hardware is actively improving.

What about other security features and programs? Would this Introduce security flaws?

I know for a fact that most scientific calculations are inaccurate. Like, just look up 1+0+1+0 or 1+1-1+1-1. Which demonstrates these inaccuracies leading to, and suggesting that 1+1-1+1 eventually equals 999999999(+more 9s).

This includes your excel financial spreadsheet that you use for budgeting.

I know this, because I've done individual calculations that don't line up with manual interpretation that require summation over the *simpler formulas*

How many mathematic and scientific papers at a college and PhD level then; are compromised because they used flawed hardware without adjusting for inaccuracies?

I wonder...

Anyway... My real question is; why isn't there a better way to deal with the issue yet?

Food for thought.

Essential Website Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Website Running Smoothly

A website usually represents the initial point of interaction between a company and potential customers. The website requires regular maintenance to preserve its functionality, security and usability. Website maintenance is essential to avoid issues such as slow loading times, broken links and security vulnerabilities. Keeping your website in top condition enhances user experience and reduces bounce rate, leading to improved website performance and search engine rankings.

Understanding the Importance of Regular Website Maintenance

Regular website maintenance is critical for keeping your active, functioning and secure online presence. Just like a storefront does, your website also needs to be maintained to make all your pages interactive and keep your visitors occupied. Routine updating of your CMS and plugins safeguards from security vulnerabilities, while improving performance. Checks for broken links and speed optimization ensure the best user experience, while frequent backups protect your data. Keep content fresh and up to date. It helps SEO and encourages people to return. By continuing to keep these aspects a top priority, it will help keep problems from becoming tough and ensuring that the website remains a helpful resource that enhances business.

Key Components to Check in Your Monthly Website Review

1. Website Speed and Performance

Website loading speed impacts the user’s experience and search rankings. Slow websites are incredibly discouraging to visitors and can increase bounce rates. Some of the things that can help optimize your website loading speed include:

Optimize Images: Smart compression of images to reduce the loading time while preserving the quality.

Minimize HTTP Requests: Reduce the number of elements on page, such as scripts, images and CSS files.

Enable Browser Caching: This allows the browsers to save some of the static files so that they do not transfer again when a user visits the page.

Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN): Distribute the content of your site on servers spread around the world, which guarantees access at higher speeds from anywhere.

2. Content Updates and Accuracy

Fresh and relevant material is an essential component in keeping site visitors interested and engaged. Regularly update the blog, news section and product descriptions. Add new content on a regular basis to attract people to return to your site and more significantly to inform search engines that this site is relevant, up-to-date and provides value.

3. Link and Functionality Checks

Broken links and malfunctioning features may let user experience and SEO both down. Periodically, search for the broken links on website through Google Search Console or some dedicated software checking links. Test the site for its functionality, check every element of the site from forms, checkout processes, to interactive elements on the site, to ensure all features are working well. Run these tests on different browsers and devices to ensure compatibility across them and a smooth user experience.

4. Security Updates

Security of a website has to be prioritized now at this point in time. Cyber threats come every day and a security break could be suicidal. Here are some of the security measures to perform:

Regularly Update Your Content Management System (CMS) and Plugins: Developers usually keep pushing updates to close bugs, patch security vulnerabilities or even add new features. Running the old software might place your website at risk due to cyber attacks and hit performance. Make sure make a habit of looking for any updates at least once a month.

Use Strong Passwords: All user accounts should have strong and unique passwords, but especially the admin accounts.

Install SSL Certificates: Encrypt data transmitted between your website and users to protect sensitive information.

Regularly Scan for Malware: Allow security plugins to scan website for malware and vulnerabilities over some course of time.

Implement Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Give an account an additional level of security by requiring each user to verify their identity in another way.
