Alex whispered, “Where have you been all my life?” He bought the full license ($39.90). For two weeks, it was magic. Then, during a time-sensitive boudoir shoot edit, SkinFiner started crashing Photoshop on export. Every. Single. Time.

Here’s an interesting, slightly cautionary story about — from the perspective of a portrait photographer who thought he’d found the perfect shortcut. The “Too Good to Be True” Night Alex was a wedding photographer based in Seattle. He edited on a MacBook Pro M2, and his least favorite part of the job was skin retouching. He hated the “plastic doll” look but also couldn’t spend 10 minutes per image with frequency separation. skinfiner for mac

One night, deep into editing a 3,000-photo wedding gallery, he stumbled upon — a plugin promising “AI-powered skin smoothing with natural texture preservation.” It worked as a standalone app and integrated with Lightroom and Photoshop.

He dug deeper. On Mac, the problem wasn’t the plugin itself — but . SkinFiner installs a helper tool for Photoshop communication, and macOS Ventura and Sonoma had started blocking it silently. No error message. Just a frozen progress bar. Here’s an interesting, slightly cautionary story about —

Hi Caesar,

Thanks for interesting post. Sure credibility of backtest on simulated data depends on how precise your synthetic data is and how quickly your signal changes.

For 1-yr momentum there is one story, and you may use less precise data, and for 5-days reversion – completely different story, and you need much better data to test this.

BTW, six figs. investment have OHLC data on volatility ETPs: https://sixfigureinvesting.com/2014/09/simulating-open-high-low-vxx-vixy-tvix-uvxy-xiv-svxy/, maybe you could use this to trade not on closes of the same day (which may be not that realistic, given wild nature of the instruments involved)

    I am aware of the OHL simulated data but the amount of error he decribes is too much for me. The main thing I want to make sure people are clear is that the data may or may not work for you depending on the strategy. Just be careful using this data.

    I can see when I am logged in as my WordPress admin but when I look at the site logged out I can’t see the search feature. I will have to look around and figure out how to get it back. Thanks for pointing this out.

hi cesar, did you build your own synthetic data to run your tests? i recently ran some tests using the data from six figures investing. although the results over the overlap period were qualitatively similar, good years were good and worse years were worse etc, quantitatively they were very different with variations of 40% or more at times. what do you think?

    No, I used the data from Six Figure Investing. I found that it really depends on the strategy whether one can use this data or not.
