a pixel out of place; snaps from the past

get to work fashionably late (just in time for lunch, actually), and open the good ol' spam-filled email.

it's also a good thing that the open source email client i'm now trying out has an adaptive spam filter, so a majority of the spam goes to a folder of my choice and doesn't clutter up the main inbox.

one email. last week's project again. client would like a little white dot expunged from a certain part of the edit. it's never been noticed before, email says; could we therefore address it?

as a matter of fact, it's always been there. it's actually a graphic element scaled down to zero pixel dimensions prior to scaling up to full dream bubble glory. but zero pixel size in the compositing software apparently doesn't equate to invisible enough, so the white dot. my feeling is that the little "blemish" is the least of anyone's concern, but client has now made it the q.c. to-fix of the moment...

...so fix do i. fiddle with some layer visibility in the timeline editor, hey presto! pixel banished.

which leads to save, export, and later, encode to playable dvd -- but the latter only when they ask.

===

now back to an old topic: drowned camera phone, or the pictures therefrom. now, i like pictures; though taking pictures with an eye for composition and all that currently escapes me. so my pictures are serendipitous little things, with very little forethought involved.

of late, going through the home hard disk, came across a few snaps i took with the phone during it's tenure with me.

forthwith:

there was one little image that i was looking for, somehow i can't find it at the moment - a little line of light across carpet, refraction from the office main door's glass panels.

when i find it, i'll post it.
