there's always a leading style, technique, or idea behind the process that happens before you take the photo. and that process can be explained, to a degree
it's not exactly a trans film in and of itself but it does use the those ideas at its core. it takes the vibes of the experience of being a trans person, and then builds a plot on those vibes
it's like a closeted trans film, hiding the true reason behind how it came to be. It had to be just broad strokes, otherwise it wouldn't have existed. Even today an outwardly trans film would have a very difficult time getting out of the "indi film with no budget not by choice, but becuase nobody wanted to fund it" hell
graphics person here - so what you want to get is krita or gimp, krita has better UI, gimp is more versitile. Or photoshop if you feel like uhh, borrowing it from adobe (don't give them money they have enough)
put them meme into the software or your choosing
now if you can find a tool that says something like "healing" "spot healing" "patch" or "clone stamp" you can use them to remove the text that's already there, all those tools work a little differently but can get you where you want to be, so play around with them and find your favourite
alternatively if that sounds too advanced you can brute force it, it won't look as seemless but it will get the job done. make a new layer, select a brush with soft edges and ~80% opacity, and then use the eyedropper tool (usual shortcut should be holding alt and clicking on the colour you want) and remove the text by covering it with the same colour that surrounds it. You'll notice how eventually the colour you sourced doesn't blend in, then what you need to do is grab a new colour that's nearby. Rinse and repeat until fully covered and blended
add text
if your text overlaps some parts of the image you don't want it to overlap you might find yourself wanting to erase a bit of it and not being able to. That's because the text is still text, fully editable. To change that you can either convert it to a normal layer (usually done by right clicking on the text layer and looking for something that says "convert") or (and that's the better option if you want to keep the text editable) you can apply a mask onto the text layer (should be a button for it next to "add layer" button), then as you have the mask selected draw with pure black over the elements you don't want the text to cover
i'm basing this mini-tutorial on photoshop so exact names and places of the tools you want might be different, but the process should be the same across most if not all image editing software
oh various ones! what i pick always depends on the lighting conditions, if the subject is stationary or moving, and the vibe i want for the photo.
i definitely prefer single thought out takes rather than rapid fire 20 photos with hope that one of them is the one (i don't shoot sports often). And overall i really like framing things with the foreground to give a feeling of depth to the photo. In post processing i focus on making the photos look like i remember them to have been, coloured by memory and all that, rather than try to recreate realism 1:1. i'm being kinda vague but my photos are mostly on my PC and i use lemmy on mobile so can't point to anything more specific, and tbf, a lot of my best takes are just patience and or luck
above all though, i like experimenting with how i shoot or edit :)
"oh wow your photography is so nice what camera do you use?"
._. photography is 80% skill and 20% gear and yet, i never get asked "what technique did you use?", it's always about the camera i use, as if this entry level DSLR is framing and shooting on its own
i've spent 25 years on this blue marble fascinated by space, and only recently discovered there multiple long orbit dwarf planets going around the sun??? that is so cool why is this not widely known!
ok? and i'm polish, i was talking about americans.
AI is not just ethically dubious, it'd also outright harmful for the already strained environment we live in. If AI stays - it won't be here for long, mostly because there won't be anoyone to ask it to generate giant hentai tits anymore
what confuses me a lot about america is how a lot of people will defend the AI's "right" to steal training data to learn (education)
when there's millions of students out there going into life long debt to go to collage, and none of the same americans are fighting for their right to learn for free
i googled if the directors' intention was to always put that idea in Matrix and they said yes so i'll to with that
