What? What is this? An update? Can't be. That's just crazy.
1. This image is like 12 times more saturated in Photoshop. I even bumped up the saturation as far as I could without getting pixellated artifacts, and it's still too dull. Part of the reason I stopped editing photos in iPhoto and started editing them in GIMP was because the color was much more true-to-export; I find it ridiculous that Photoshop CS4 is lagging behind my 2005 version of GIMP in this respect. Maybe there's a setting somewhere that I need to tweak, but I shouldn't have to!
2. The image in the pill was SO SHARP to my myopic eyes. I tried every permutation and combination of shutter speed, distance between my lens and the subject, and macro settings that I could think of. Still no luck.
On the bright side, the Chicago weather is requiring coats less and less frequently!

That's a long and skinny pill. My fish oil pills are shorter and squatter. But maybe that's 'cause the buildings around here are shorter and squatter. ;)
(Why are they especially good for you in Chicago?)
Because you're not a real Chicagoan unless you TAKE YOUR DAILY OMEGA-3s.
No, I don't know. They're not, really. The "omg" indicated that I was being ridiculous. :P
I'm OK with ridiculousness, in case the suggestion that pill shape is determined by "maximal unglass utility for the given environment" wasn't enough evidence of that. :)
But it would have also been cool if you'd picked some particular omega-3 property or health benefit that was especially useful for Real Chicagoans, like "makes you draw guts better" or something. :)
I'd fav it if I could.
I’m a bit late to the party, but re: (1): maybe you’re working in a colour space other than vanilla sRGB in Photoshop? By default, most monitors apparently do better with sRGB. So if you have an image in Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB, try converting to sRGB before posting. Just a thought.
