I am no longer using Twitter — For many years I found Twitter the most positive, supportive, intriguing social media platform. So it really is very sad that in such a short space of time it’s transformed into something so radically different.

I’m doing a talk as part of Westminster Photo Forum @westminphoto next week on my cultural heritage imaging and art practice. Weds 20th Nov, 6.30pm, Regent St Campus. Free. Open to all. No booking required!

Had the great honour of capturing the first ever National Gallery All Staff photograph. Celebrating 200 years of the National Gallery, the sun came out and over three hundred members of staff congregated in Trafalgar Square for the picture. Photos © The @NationalGallery , London

Last night I presented the work of the @iiif_io 3D Group to the @AcademySwf USD Working Group. There's lots of shared aspirations between these projects & I hope we can help each other along. Slides here for anyone interested: docs.google.com/presentation/d… #GLAM3D #interoperability

PhD studentship opportunity at Imperial College London in collaboration with the National Gallery, focused on the use of machine learning for registration, mosaicking and resolution enhancement for imaging data from artworks. See here: findaphd.com/phds/project/r…

@martin_brink Hard drives. Fast SSD’s for my local storage, plus a Time Machine backing up everything local. Then X2 slow but cheap spinning disk drives stored elsewhere for redundancy. Nothing on the cloud.

Photographers and digital artists, how are you storing your data in 2024? All cloud? Combo?

Museum imaging people 👋 Is anyone still successfully using Platypus software (either the standalone or photoshop plugin?) for reducing the visibility of cradles in x-radiographs of paintings?

@rob_ball Just figured it out - it’s Ctrl + shift and click in the curves tool, while the RGB curve is showing. That’s on a Windows PC at least 🙌

I used to use a great feature on photoshop a lot, but forgot exactly how it was done. You would hold a key and use a pipette, then click on an image area in the curves adjustment and it would put a point on the curve on the R, G and B channels separately. Anyone?

Are there any commercial services who offer full-spectrum conversions AND bayer CFA removal for silicon sensors? Or is the CFA removal considered too risky to be commercially viable?!

@tmtn @DEJPett @Renee_Dixson What I’m looking for is an example of structured light scanning to feature in the 11th edition of this book, in a new chapter with the working title ‘Introduction to new digital outputs’.

@tmtn @DEJPett @Renee_Dixson Would love to know more about this. Thank you all

Who’s got a beautiful example of using structured light scanning for a project that they might be interested in having featured in a book?
