    No, you don’t need to close the app, just taking it off the screen into the background will trigger Face ID auth (and you can’t see the contents of the app in your non-active screens nor your notifications either)

    Yeah, that really didn’t show off what it was able to do with some street lights 😂

    Not at all perfect examples but here’s photos of the same view (outside my window) with stacked, 1/8, 1/4, none.

    No cos it was chuffing freezing in the wind! However it’s just round the corner so I had thought I’d go back and see what the same scenes look like with them individually.

    Too much work, not enough photos… yeah black mist 🤦‍♂️

    This was a 1/4 and 1/8 stacked as i wanted to really see what it did and how it worked. Will try them separate now I know what it does (and doesn’t) do for the kind of photos I enjoy taking

    Not being a massive fan of sitting in front of a computer editing digital photos, I’ve still got a fairly large selection of filters for various things. Recently got a black mist diffusion filter, thought I’d give it a try with all the Christmas lights out to see how it worked. I’m a fan I think overall

    Which iteration of MacBook Air? I have been looking recently and I think it’s only the most recent M3 chip that can do dual screens, the M1 and M2 seem to only support one external display. Have you tried just using one monitor and seeing if that works?

    Prices and SSD storage all being equal, M2 with 16gb unified memory or M3 with base 8gb unified memory? Both 2024 release, so 2xTB and MagSafe 3 charging. Basic photo/video editing (not adobe CC) and general (personal) laptop usage.

    Wanting something that will last, but not break the bank (as a more generous than usual Christmas present for the SO). M3 is the newer chip but ray tracing and dual external monitors aren’t really needed, so leaning towards better memory…
