  • This recent/old endeavour proves formidable: how to learn ExtendScript and Photoshop’s Action Manager when there is barely any documentation?
    I am setting up my #Linkwarden in a better way, so I can safely store all these bits of info on #ExtendScript. This whole thing about programmatically changing a blend mode in Photoshop has rekindled an old fire. Now I am just looking for wood for the flame. #asca

  • I just vibe coded for the first time in ExtendScript and got away with a working code. Just took me hours of confusions, going back and forth between Copilot and ChatGPT.
    I mean, I really want to be able to toggle blend modes for brushes in Photoshop by pushing a button, so this will be worth it. #asca

  • Watching the course mentioned in my post Homebrew file organization, and mindset reminded me of how drawings graphics were organized into categories according to where they were in the printing process, as described in Walter Koschatzky, Die Kunst der Graphik: Technik, Geschichte, Meisterwerke (Herrsching: Ed. Atlantis, 1990).

    I think it is a thing to consider; although you could work with [Photoshop, Procreate, Sketchbook Pro] in such a way that you make multiple versions of files unnecessary: by working with layers in a smart way.

    I can feel that there is a something brewing in my mind there. Maybe this time, it won’t be another glossary or another book to buy?

    I need to schedule a few days for deep work, because this does not happen while online.

  • Homebrew file organization, and mindset

    Got myself the Mindset Mastery guide by Martina Flor on Instagram (she has a promotion for this file, I’ll link to the promotional post here, just follow her instructions to get it: comment “Mindset” below that post of hers, but also watch her video, you might get a kick out of it as well), and as I was ready to check out, I saw that she also offered a heavily discounted course on how to organize your work.

    Now, my current workflow for organizing my files is based on two things: naming the files in a useful way, and sorting them into folders by either topic (for camera shoots mostly, although I am getting away from doing that in favor of using Lightroom’s built‑in tagging features) or by software used.

    The naming template I use for everything aside from screenshots is something the author and photographer Velsz uses, as described in István Velsz, Lightroom Classic und CC: das umfassende Handbuch, 1. Auflage, Rheinwerk Fotografie (Bonn: Rheinwerk Verlag, 2018).

    I also started using Bridge heavily, since I started tagging my library, both the PDF, and the visual kind as well.

    I am looking forward to working with her course called “The Tidy Artist Mini Course”, because maybe I can improve on my workflow, and push it more towards where I need it to be: closer to sketch as basis for my work, not software used? Maybe? If that makes sense to you?

  • Pulled my #typography #keyboard off of the shelf, because I could not remember where the horizontal arrows on E1 keyboard layouts were, lol. I need to use it more often for writing online and offline. #europatastatur #e1 #e1keyboard #asca

  • Bought the CY_BORG asset pack, as well as the miniature expansion for Mörk Borg (from one of my trusted nerd stores), and I did see a Degenesis: Rebirth set lurking in one of the lower shelves as well.

    Soon. But not today.

    And the thing about miniatures is that they have rules : can’t be smaller than, can’t be larger than, should be around such and such a size, then comes genre and type, what you can use for sculpting, and so on.

    Design is a lot like this: a set of rules and limitations create a sort of stage or space for your actions and marks, because otherwise, you can do whatever the hell you want, which usually turns into not being able to do anything at all.

    Because at first, you create the universe.
