A screenshot of the profile edit interface on Mastodon, showing a menu with an "Add alt text" option highlighted.

Not sure if this was rolled out on mastodon.social just recently, or a while ago, with all the other UI updates, but only noticing it now, and it is very nice!

Super important! Protect your kitties. Thank you so much to @gawdz0rz.bsky.social who took the time to put it all in #AltText so I could share.

This photo is a close-up description of a blooming Thanksgiving cactus that has also bloomed for Christmas and Valentine's Day, and now has a few blooms for Easter. The image highlights a vibrant red-orange flower emerging from the green, segmented stems. The flower has multiple layers of petals, with a bright pink and yellow center featuring prominent yellow anthers. The petals transition from a deep red-orange at the tips to a lighter, almost white or pale pink, base. The flower contrasts with the bright blue ceramic pot it is in.

Photograph of a small group of opened liverwort flower (Hepatica americana aka Anemone americana or round-lobed hepatica seems likely) emerging amid last year's fallen leaves and other brown vegetation. The small flowers top slender vertical magenta-purple stems covered in fine hairs and consist of purple-green sepals covered in fine hairs that support six very pale purple-pink petals that radiate from a center filled with a large number of white stamens with white anthers and lime green pistils.

Anemone americana (likely).

This early spring native wildflower only grows to ~2-6" (5–15 cm) so it's easy to miss. Apparently it does not produce nectar but instead attracts early pollinators w/ many pollen covered anthers.

Photograph of a trio of opened liverwort flower (Hepatica americana aka Anemone americana or round-lobed hepatica seems likely) with out of focus brown foliage in the background. The flowers top thin magenta stems and are arrange with one front facing flower directly above another with the third on the side and facing to the right. The flowers consist of purple-green sepals covered in fine hairs that support six very pale purple-pink petals that radiate from a center filled with a large number of white stamens with white anthers and lime green pistils.

My favorite early spring flower, liverwort (Anemone americana or Hepatica americana aka round-lobed hepatica).

One of the 1st spring native wildflowers, I found a large patch on Clear Creek Trail yrs ago & look for them there every yr.

Photograph of a swamp tree sparrow standing in a shallow clear creek with a light brown mud bottom. The sparrow is standing in the left frame and is facing right in profile with its head and body tilted forward to look down at the water. The bird has just disturbed the water's surface creating circular ripples that surround the sparrow and which reflect the blue sky and brown vegetation above in concentric rings of brown and blue. Swamp sparrows have tan to gray belly and chest feathers, brown wing and back feathers with white, dark brown and black markings and barring, a grey head with a brown mask that extends from the eye to the back of the head, a brown cap, dark eyes, a yellow-orange lower beak and a silvery-black upper beak, and brown legs and feet.

Photograph of an eastern phoebe perched on a branch with out of focus branches, trees, and patches of morning blue sky in the background. The phoebe is facing away from the camera but has its head turned to the left in profile. The phoebe's back and chest are brightly highlighted while its face is in shadow. Eastern phoebes have cream-white belly, chest and neck feathers, brown-gray body feathers, brown-gray wings feathers with dark and light markings and barring, dark brown heads, sharply pointed black beaks, dark eyes, and dark gray legs and feet.

Demure eastern phoebe.

Photograph of a northern flicker perched on a branch amid a tangle of branches with a morning blue sky in the background. The flicker is facing right in profile with its tail extended down, its head raised to look up, and its beak slightly open in song. Flickers have brown back and tail feathers with black barring and scalloping, yellow undertail and underwing feathers, light brown abdomen and chest feathers with black spotting, a prominent black bib, tan neck and face feathers, gray head feathers with a vivid red crescent across the back of the head, a long black patch next to the beak, a long slightly curved black beak, and gray legs and feet.

Northern flicker calling out.

Been awhile since I caught one. Think this pic if the best view of those amazing spotted chest/belly feathers.

If you're not sure how to add Alt text, check out the tutorial pinned to my page to see my method.

Step 1 "click edit profile" of a visual guide on how to add alt text to the images of a Mastdon profile step by step. A screenshot of the profile @MadeInDex@mastodon.social is used as an example with a red 1 pointing at the edit profile button.

Step 2 "edit profile", a screenshot of the profile @MadeInDex@mastodon.social is used as an example with a red 2 pointing at the profile and banner image buttons.

Step 3 "edit alt text" of a visual guide on how to add alt text to the images of a Mastdon profile step by step. A screenshot of the profile @MadeInDex@mastodon.social is used as an example with a red 3 next to the "Edit alt text" button.

Step 4 "edit alt text and press done", a screenshot of the profile @MadeInDex@mastodon.social is used as an example with a red 4 next to the input field and a red arrow pointing at the done button. Next to the done button is a red cheering stick man with raised arms and above the "Done" is a red X.

One highlight of the new Masto #update many people missed:

You can now even add Alt-Text to your profile & banner images!

A feature only very few apps have!

A photograph of the Grand Canyon which has been edited to appear it could have been taken at dusk. The image overall had the exposure shifted down, black point and shadows darkened, and clarity slightly sharpened. Two further linear gradient masks were added in Affinity's Development Studio. The first starts slightly below the upper edge of the frame and ends within the more orange-tone section of the canyon's side. The second runs from the bottom up into the orange-toned area. The upper mask was initially aimed at adding some drama to the sky with colour, but was extended into the canyon edge eventually. The white balance was heavily tinted purple, but left on the warm side. The result is deep purple at the top, but the canyon still has the interesting oranges that over saturating it pulled up. The white balance in the lower mask was shifted significantly cooler and the tint adjusted towards purples. Exposure and shadows were also heavily lowered. The development masks stack on top of any other edits made to the overall master image, but are gradients so the effects are most significant at the upper and lower edges of the frame in this case. The orange section is going to have some level of interference from the master edits and both mask layers as they overlap slightly.

First go at the #PostProcess #TonalShift challenge from @rjrock.bsky.social using the provided photo. Such a fun idea!

I edited using Affinity. After playing around a bit to see what colours I could get, I decided to go for a twilight/sunset effect. Details in #AltText

With posts going around about the Mastodon HOA, I disagree with some of the points made by some.

Should you join the Mastodon HOA and annoyingly "correct" everyone who doesn't do things the way you want them to do them?

Hell, no!

Will people do things in ways other than how you want them to? […]
