Ah .... I wasn't talking about you I was replying to the first message by tipaf or what ever his name was.
If I was responding to your comment mine would've been indented (like this one should be :)) and would've been titled re:re:ugly (as opposed to just re:ugly )
Oh and I don't think I have ever voted anyone's art work down.
I can understand why you are annoyed if you thought I was talking to you but I can assure you I wasn't. - Apr 24 2011

Wallpapers Ubuntu by mmachado53 4 comments

How the hell do you figure Ubuntu is commercial
Oxford definition of commercial:
Pronunciation:/kəˈməːʃ(ə)l/
adjective

1 concerned with or engaged in commerce:a commercial agreement
2 making or intended to make a profit:commercial products
having profit rather than artistic or other value as a primary aim:their work is too commercial

I fail to see how ubuntu fits this.
Is it because canonical supports it? (the company that is lucky if it breaks even each year) Does that mean Fedora is out because it's sponsored by Red Hat and also Open SUSE sponsored by Novell, and possibly even Debian since Ubuntu has donated funds?
And so what if Ubuntu converts windows and mac users, is this not a good thing?

Your second point is twisted logic, a fallacy, he is not suggesting all gnome users are ubuntu users but ubuntu uses gnome (else it's kubuntu, xubuntu etc)
so it does fit in on gnome-look.

Anyway petty arguments aside, I think it's a fine collection of wallpapers I voted up.

(And I know I'm just feeding a troll here, but hey there's only so much crap I can stand reading from one person) - Apr 20 2011

That's a cool picture, nothing wrong with the quality my end, it actually has a much higher resolution than you've quoted.

If you want a higher quality preview you could scale the preview image to preview size, maybe 480 x 300 or something that brings it under the 300kb limit. Just an idea, hope it helps. - Jun 05 2010

Thanks I've been learning from the HDR zen master: http://www.stuckincustoms.com/hdr-tutorial/
I've been able to apply it to Linux, for example instead of using 'topaz adjust' I use FX-foundry in GIMP. - Jun 03 2010

LOL. That's why they look so similar!

My HDRs can be pretty hit and miss, half the time they don't look to good, noise reduction software can do wonders, I use Noiseware Pro with WINE, Digikam has a good noise reduction feature I think it use's noise ninja. - May 24 2010

Thanks.
I use Qtpfsgui, I tried one named luminanceHDR on ubuntu but I couldn't save my work, I've tried photoshops HDR (running through wine) but it's rubbish.
I usually tone map to Mantuik and Fattal formula and combine them in GIMP, Fattal layered on Mantuik, then I change the layer mode to what looks best. Sometimes I use Drago tone mapping.
This wall was in a quite dark room so I needed HDR to show up all the graffiti.
