Yes, I noticed that myself. I plan to keep experimenting with this photo to see what enhancements can be made. Ian #72

Just a pity the new tooled Ivatt tank has no push-pull option! (Will the old dapol Ivatt body fit the new tooled version?). Thanks Bob #73

I was never any good at staying within the lines in 'painting by numbers' #75

It's interesting that you're using Apple Photo for some judicious editing. I've done the same thing in Photoshop to take "noise" out of vacation pictures - for example I had a photo of St. Paul's Cathedral taken very early in the morning as the sun was coming up from across the Millenium Brdge. Unfortunately it looked like two tower cranes were growing out of the dome so I cropped those out. The latest version of Photoshop has what they call "Generative Fill" which does the same thing with AI, just a whole lot quicker. ![]() Look Ma, no cranes! #76

A possible anomaly in the chosen running numbers: if my references (incl the David Jenkinson book) are correct, 2P-010-307 BR Lined Maroon Brake Third - M20577M was a Period 2 Diag 1735... All the other BT number choices are P3 Diag 1907s. Happy to be corrected if you have information otherwise... #79
General Discussion / Re: AI Image ManipulationLast post by Greygreaser - December 10, 2025, 08:14:00 PMI'm currently 2/3rds way thru an OU photography course "Creating and sharing better images" - which explores the use of Digital Darkrooms and digital cameras. As an established 35mm 'operator' this has been mind boggling to find how far from reality one can actually 'push' a photograph!
Without using AI, which must have parameters or algorithms limiting the range of tweaks, there are ample opportunities to 'push' photos from their origin into another dimension. I'm using an iPad and the Apple photos controls but it's not limiting the scope to change images. You might need an Apple Pencil if you want to colour bits where the AI does this for you, however the pencil can be loaded with more precise colours from a large palette. It could boil down to 'horses for courses' as I can appreciate the coloured versions of B&W images and films as an improvement in the presentation. As the layout progresses I'll try and produce some improved photos to accompany postings - OU course ends in January '26 and layout activity recommences #80

The "British Railways" version is supposed to have the push-pull apparatus fitted. Just that the livery samples all used the standard body. Bob G | Please Support Us!
