/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Regarding the title, what types of filters, effects, etc. do you use to brighten these dark TV/movie screenshots?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Just using the provided Android Gallery tools.

I don’t believe you. I can actually discern persons from PIC, you must have applied some sort of atomic flash or supernova at point blank range.

Some unstable trilithium, a stray sun, and a scientist escorted by his "droogs" may or may not have been involved. All I'm sayin'.

I assume that means you use a filter or something literally called "brightness". If your app offers an option called "exposure", try that instead. I tend to get more desirable results using that for brightening photos.

Unlike brightness, exposure is highly biased towards the highlights in the picture. In layman language, it will act as if increasing the amount of light in the picture, without much affecting the darker areas in the picture.

There's sliders for both, plus some presets in another sub-menu. It's reasonably comprehensive, except for sometime last year when they "updated" (read enshittified) the app by letting A.I. decide what element of an image it assumes I want to make into a sticker. Instead, now I have to crop out an object, go to a separate app (sketchbook), layer stuff, save that, then go back to gallery for any simple text or resizing. Really slowed down my posting reaction time.
