Title: Precision?
Post by: Jeremy Roussak on September 12, 2020, 06:11:39 am: Topaz AI sharpener can give impressive results. It can add apparent sharpness not only to the image, but to the exposure compensation.

(The screenshot is from LR, after a round trip to AIS; the actual compensation is -2⅔, of course).

It would equate to -1.587401141689588540762629837959780006406416839626989044763769087384468296718276323978109721256702049 , approximately.

The subscript positioning of some characters in the screenshot is puzzling though ...

I don't know how you get to that result, Bart: 53687/80531 (using just the first few numbers) is 0.66666. It's plainly just a rounding error, but I found it amusing.

You're certainly right about the positioning, though.

Post by: Arlen on September 13, 2020, 02:56:11 pm: It is pretty funny. And it does look somewhat like an exponent, as written; hence Bart's number.

Thanks Bart but for my weary eyes it's too much (or too many digits)…

I think the I stands for Imbecility.

The world has no need for artificial imbecility. As Eric Idle sang (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWVshkVF0SY),

So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth;
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth!
