Okay, so today I messed around with something called “garcia-rodriguez.” Honestly, I’d never heard of it before, but it sounded interesting, so I figured, why not give it a shot?
Getting Started
First things first, I needed to figure out what this thing even was. A quick search told me it’s some kind of image processing technique. Seemed complicated, but I wasn’t scared off yet.
I found some code examples online. I’m not going to lie, it looked like a bunch of gibberish at first. Lots of weird math-y stuff. But I’m stubborn, so I started picking it apart, piece by piece.
The Process
The basic idea, as far as I could tell, is that you’re taking an image and doing some fancy calculations on the colors of each pixel. It’s supposed to help with things like color correction or something, but I was mostly just focused on getting something to work.
- I grabbed an image. Just a random picture of my cat, because, why not?
- I copied and pasted some code. I know, I know, that’s not the best way to learn, but I was just trying to get a feel for things.
- I tweaked some numbers. There were a bunch of variables in the code that I didn’t understand, so I just started messing with them to see what would happen.
Results (Sort Of)
Honestly, after a lot of trial and error (and a lot of errors, period), I finally got something that looked like it did something. The colors in the image were definitely different, but I’m not sure if they were “better.” My cat looked kind of… radioactive.
I’m definitely not an expert on this “garcia-rodriguez” thing yet, but it was fun to play around with. Maybe I’ll try to understand the actual math behind it someday, but for now, I’m happy with my slightly-glowing cat picture.
It felt good.
