Sometimes looking at your own art in thumbnail size will reveal that something's not quite right about it.

Recommendations (1/2):

• blobdrop (Linux specific) -- 'Just drag this file. From what window? no window, just drag this file.' . CLI DnD source (there are other apps, this is the only one that works for me). Add some xdotool sleep .25 getactivewindow click 1 to also automate the 'dropping' part of the process. My use: copy a file to the clipboard, drop it into DarkTable.

• DarkTable has been one of those rare 'oh, I've been doing things with one hand tied behind my back until now' experiences. Digital lighttable and darkroom. Yes, it's a photography app. The ability to just try out different crops, value distributions, and colorings, then easily compare and tag them has been really helpful for art. Shoutout the 'focus peaking mode' especially -- try throwing art you like at it and observing the patterns of color-coded edge strength.
