Hello! Is there an application where I can import IES files, generate polar curves, and also change the appearance of the graph for it to be more consistent with a company's branding?

The company has hundreds of IES files that need rebranding and it would take a long while to get through them all. I was hoping to edit them to look like the image on Slide 2, which was done on Illustrator, then export them as SVG or similar. For reference, I'm on MacOS.

Thanks!

Wearingeul Preface Fountain Pen <F> - The Glass Bead Game

I saw it online and couldn’t resist! I mainly collect pink pens and this one is just gorgeous. The marbling of the colors and the glitters is mesmerizing, I find myself just staring at it so much.

I haven’t played with it much yet, but the nib is smooth. It’s pretty weighted with the bulk of the weight coming from the cap. Feels comfy to hold and write with even unposted.

Comparison with other fountain pens on Slide 4:
* Kaweco Frosted Sport - Blush Pitaya
* Pilot Prera Iro-ai - Pink
* Pilot Kakuno Choice - Pink
* Sailor Shikiori - Yozakura
* Wearingeul Preface - The Glass Bead Game
* Platinum Plaisir - Pink
* Lamy Safari - Pink

Just got a few samples of Teranishi and Taccia inks and they look stunning! The tones of the colors are vibrant enough to be eye-catching but they’re not screaming in your face which I like. And the subtle sheen? Wow… My favorites are definitely Teranishi Gentle Green, Teranishi Night Time Soda, and Taccia Umemurasaki.

Swatched:
* Teranishi Guitar Opera Rose
* Teranishi Guitar Emotional Olive
* Teranishi Guitar Gentle Green
* Teranishi Guitar Night Time Soda
* Taccia Akasakura
* Taccia Cha
* Taccia Umemurasaki

Materials:
* Midori / MD Product A5 Dotted Notebook
* Majohn Dip Pen

I recently purchased Isntree’s new Yam Root Vegan Barrier Cream. This is a different product from Isntree’s existing Yam Root Vegan Milk Cream, which is an amazing moisturizer for people with dry and/or sensitive skin. I’m currently using it as a nighttime moisturizer to pair with my retinoid (Akleif/Trifarotene).

I spoke to the CS representative from my local retailer and they said it’s an upgraded formula from the old Milk Cream, but I’m not sure if the Milk Cream is going to be discontinued. They told me it’s available but just out of stock. Not really sure. Both products are still available on the Isntree Korea website. Could there be a possibility that they’ll expand their Yam Root line just like how they have different types of Hyaluronic Acid products?

DISCLAIMER: I haven’t used it extensively yet to give a proper review, but on first impression, the new Barrier Cream is slightly thicker and more opaque compared to the Milk Cream. When blended out, they feel somewhat similar. The difference isn’t drastic from what I can tell. Just not sure how this performs.

Just when I was about to reorder my HG Isntree Yam Root Vegan Milk Cream, it was out of stock on Shopee 🥲 Then I saw there are new yam root products. I’m not sure if it’s a reformulation or a repackage. I couldn’t find much info on the product page or on other sites. Does anyone else have info on the new yam root line?

UPDATE 1: Messaged the shop (Isntree’s official Shopee PH store) and they said it’s a repackaging. Can’t be too sure just yet because I haven’t checked the ingredients list.

UPDATE 2: Asked for the ingredients list. Here’s the response:

Hi! I recently purchased an A5 Hobonichi Graph Notebook with the regular yellow cover through a reseller, so I couldn’t confirm which batch of TRP they used.

I’m using this for ink swatches and so far, I’m seeing bleed through on the big swatches where the ink pooled. There’s no feathering, just regular ghosting in the writing.

I compared it to my 2018 Weeks which had the original TRP and there was bleed through but less drastic.

Did I get a notebook from the bad batch or this is just how the new TRP-S behaves? It’s my first time to swatch inks on Hobonichi so I’m not sure what to expect.

Supplies used:
* Hobonichi Graph Notebook A5
* Majohn N10 Glass Dip Pen
* Pilot Iroshizuku Inks (Kosumosu, Chiku-rin, Tsuki-yo)
