A tip for (more or less) cleaning up jpeg artifacts:
Selective Gaussian Blur
Isn’t part of the charm of memes the shitty compression artifacts?
It is a metric to judge the age of the meme by.
Internet historians love em!
I was in a Glam/prog rock fusion band called Selective Gaussian Blur. We were positively atrocious.
Now that truly is a band name right there
At least you weren't negatively atrocious. That would be bad.
We did have SOME standards, after all!
Memes should be stored in vector format rather than compressed pixels 🙈
But what about photo based memes?
They should be stored in hard copy in a safe deposit box on the outskirts of Mumbai.
Also vectors
Vectors are funny, aren't they? The whole concept is just 🎶 where did you come from, where did you go? 🎵
Yes :3
Go on Facebook and edit a post to match this one. Then take a screenshot of it.
I wonder, is there and algorithm to check how many times an image was reposted solely based on the artifacts? 🤔
