Pasted from the Reddit thread:

The colors don’t match what a human eye would see, but without going into a philosophy tangent, color is extremely complex and a huge part of what a human sees is your brain doing representations and mapping that isn’t perfectly represented in the physical object being observed. In this photo the saturation has been increased (versus a human eye) because it helps show the geological differences on the lunar surface. The reddish areas are high in iron and feldspar, and the blue-tinted zones have higher titanium content. Instead of thinking of the color as “real” or “fake” it’s probably better to think of it as a tool, to simulate if you were a super human with the ability to adjust saturation and detect metal composition with your eye. Usually when a photo like this is shared by researchers and scientist all this nuance and exposition is included, but then journalist and social media get a hold of it and people start crying “fake” without an understanding of what the image is trying to accomplish. TL;DR - The image isn’t what a human eye would see but it isn’t just art to look cool, the color and modifications have physical meaning and serve a purpose.

You don’t appear to be wrong.

No, I don’t fit the typical demographic around here except being vaguely techie. I’ve worked with Adobe products for years. The OP is spot on.

Following the Latin root, and it being singular would it not be Pawparazzo?

This is why you freeze dry them first and use a burr grinder.

You say that, but there’s a flip side to this. I’ve been in an abusive relationship where my SO was always a hair trigger away from a full on apeshit moment. You find yourself (regardless of your confidence) wondering if you’ve annoyed them and after a while, you flinch at any shift in tone of voice. It can be a sign of abuse, but not just in the way you mention.

That just sounds like fraud with extra steps.

My first thought too. This needs a Randall Monroe ‘What If?’ explanation.

According to my app monitoring: 1hr, 49min per day on average. Erk.

Possibly yes. Perhaps we can wait here until an actual artist comes along and sheds (hah) light on the matter.

I have seen this sort of minimal treatment work well for (human) portraits too.

Don’t know what this technique/style is but I love the bold, impressionistic (?) brushwork. There’s something about making as few, but confidently well placed marks as possible - while still capturing the essence of the subject and it feeling dynamic - that pleases me.

My bad I had no idea that was a song.

Barbie girls man. It was right there for the taking.
