Nice! I'm pleased to say my S23U holds up to editing lots of huge photos without getting too hot, so I'm stoked with that.

I also use a Tab S8 (did you mean Tab S8 series btw?) and it performs well too.

Do you pay for youtube premium?

[–] mikestevens@lemdro.id 1 points 1 year ago

Well, yeah, but right now lemmy is pretty convenient. No instances are asking users to pay or donate, and obviously many people would sooner flee to another instance than accept the idea of paying for the service they use. But that can't work for an actual business.

This is the level-headed reply I was hoping for.

[–] mikestevens@lemdro.id 2 points 1 year ago

Must admit I'm perfectly happy with the free tier of feedly.

Same. Had a P7 Pro for a couple of months and moved to an S23U as soon as it was released. Phenomenal phone.

Yeah, that makes it a pretty unappealing phone imo. Two years of version updates and no option of moving to a rom afterwards... That's a big ol' nope.

Hmm, I don't think so. I admit I'm struggling to recall though, already!

[–] mikestevens@lemdro.id 8 points 1 year ago (6 children)

That's awesome for that very important feeling of security, but man it sucks when you get to two years and realise your phone won't be getting any better. I guess some folks don't mind that, and of course there's also ROMs as a solution, but still.

Same! Super pumped.

Great shots. And I see you're a fellow Aussie!

I use a few different apps, depending on what I'm aiming for.

For any photo that I want a nice elegant result with, I'll use Lightroom. I have an Adobe subscription through my employer, so it's an easy go-to for me. The fact that it syncs all images and edits with desktop through the Adobe cloud is a really nice way to do some edits on my S23U while I'm out and about, and then finish them later on desktop. My final steps are usually to open the photo in Photoshop for the sort of cloning and generative stuff that Lightroom can't yet match on either desktop or mobile.

If I'm making any silly images for my kids or socials, I'll use InShot, which I have an annual subscription for. It's got a lot of great tools and sticker sets, so it's fun to work with. It's great for video editing too, if perhaps not quite as powerful as Capcut.

Lastly, I use Canva for things that need a little more control over text, as it does a better job in that arena than InShot (although far from perfect).
