![]() ![]() This is one thing that drove me nuts about Photoshop plugins I tried in the past - pretty much every photoshop plugin uses one or more “autocolor” adjustments in an early part of the conversion, but these adjustments end up “fully baked” in the output - there is no transparency to color adjustment is being applied, and no ability to change it in the early, crucial state in the editing pipeline. Whether evaluative or fixed, it should be easy to see and adjust exactly what it is doing. For instance, some tools enable you to use both an autocolor algorithm and a fixed film profile at the same time, which stacks the effects and leads to bad color.ģ. Whether evaluative or fixed, it all needs to be integrated into a single tool to avoid a “stacking” effect. “Evaluative” profiles (like AutoNeutral and AutoWarm) typically outperformed “fixed” film profiles.Ģ. This means i can convert batches of frames and only reprocess a few in NLP.Īnd yes! I did a ton of testing on “film specific profiles” a while back (ala Vuescan, Silverfast, ColorPerfect), and had a few conclusions from that testing that heavily influenced the design of Negative Lab Pro:ġ. Basically the defaults just work unlike SilverFast where you need to fiddle about choosing films and even in some cases editing profiles. This means i can convert batches of frames and only reprocess a few in NLP.Ī good job particular impressed with the colour cast removal / conversion in NLP. ![]() Basically the defaults just work unlike SilverFast where you need to fiddle about choosing films and even in some cases editing profiles. Youll need to disable that add-on in order to use GameFAQs. I’m particular impressed with the colour cast removal / conversion in NLP. If i was super diligent i’d save the raw HDRi format too but have decided not to buy the HDRi license required as wasn’t impressed with the demo and if i’m going to fiddle with the images prefer to use better tools - NLP / lightroom / Photoshop / Pixelmator With HDRi wasn’t that impressed with the Silverfast’s HDR software (its basically the same as Silverfast 9 AI but with an additional cost). In all these cases dust and scratches were an issue. I experimented with Sillverfast raw HDRi, DNG and tried Epson Scan and Epson Scan 2 without adding much value. I’m getting similar results with both but in general NLP gives me a more pleasing result. Seems a bit over the top but find negative to positive is a good point to set up the frames. My workflow now is scan negative to positive with Silverfast 9 AI and scan positive with iSRD for NLP both at 3200 dpi 48 bit TIFF.

![]() ![]() When you run the client, you will see a button to create an account, but it was not functional while I was testing, so you may need to create an account separately. You will also need a free, 21 day trial account and the static binary for the native client. Otherwise, hardware requirements are well within the capacities of any modern computer. Playing with the native client requires 3-D drivers, which may be enough to discourage some users. From this perspective, the release of the free client, while relatively minor in itself, could become an important first step in the advancement of free software. However, free software needs to use the openings available, and the fact that Ryzom has English, French, and German speaking communities means that the game is potentially international in appeal, like free software itself. With some 3500 users at the start of the Free Ryzom Campaign, Ryzom is dwarfed by games like World of Warcraft, which claims over 12 million users. Brown also suggested that online games that are also free software could serve as "a test bed for 3-D drivers." If a significant proportion of gamers can be convinced to use free software, Brown suggested four years ago, then the fact can be used by the FSF to "apply pressure on video card manufacturers" to improve their support for 3-D drivers for GNU/Linux, a notorious weak spot in free software. Gamers are always hungry for increased speed or improved graphics, with the result that the requirements for gaming have always been a major influence on computer hardware capabilities. Of course, the Ryzom code and client have no affect on other existing games, but they offer the possibility that GNU/Linux can at least offer alternatives.Įven more importantly, a free software presence in online gaming can be an important strategy in the advancement of free software. ![]() This is an opportunity to jump ahead from where we currently are." We've always played a game of catch-up, and whilst you can get all sorts of interesting games for free software, at this level, we're just not there. It's an area that's very commercial, and it's very hard for the free software community to fund. Online games like World of Warcraft can be played on GNU/Linux using WINE, or on Windows on a dual-boot system, the extra steps are probably enough to discourage many people from using such arrangements.Īs Peter Brown, the FSF's executive director, told me during the Free Ryzom Campaign, " "When it comes to the barriers that keep people from using free software, one of the major ones has always been gaming. If you have been around computers and free software for any length of time, you should have no trouble understanding why.įor one thing, a lack of native games is seen by many as a major reason that GNU/Linux is not more widely used on the desktop. The Free Software Foundation (FSF), which pledged €60,000 to the unsuccessful Free Ryzom Campaign, has also been supporting the release of the code and the native Ryzom client. This code release opens the opportunity for other free software online games, but the Ryzom client is the first result. The news follows the announcement in May 2010 that the source code for the end-user client, content creation tools, and server were being released under the GNU Affero General Public License, and the artwork, including some 20,000 textures and 3-D objects, under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license. It's news that you don't need to be a gamer to appreciate. Now, four years later, after a convoluted history, the dream of the campaign supporters is coming true: Winch Gate, the current owner of Ryzom, is releasing a native GNU/Linux client, and announcing a contest to celebrate the fact. When the Free Ryzom Campaign failed to purchase the online role-playing game Ryzom, organizers promised that their effort was just the beginning. ![]() They won two Grammy Awards for that project, in the first year that the Grammys rewarded videos. In 1984, the band continued to take advantage of the music video craze, releasing a video album that collected their music videos to date. The 1983 album Seven and the Ragged Tiger generated three more top ten singles, including Duran Duran’s first #1 hit, “The Reflex.” ![]() With that success, Capitol issued a re-release of Duran Duran, and the newly added single “ Is There Something I Should Know” climbed into the top five. That worked the album climbed to #6, and “Hungry Like the Wolf” became the group’s first big American hit. Their 1982 album Rio didn’t sell very well at first, but once Capitol realized that dance mixes of the songs were doing well in clubs, they remixed much of the album and re-released it, now pushing it as a dance album. They tried to push them as part of the “new romantic” movement, but that hadn’t yet quite caught on here as well as it had in England. The band’s American record label, Capitol, didn’t really know how to market Duran Duran at first. The MTV success turned the band into teen idols at their peak, you couldn’t look at a newsstand without seeing one of their faces on a teen magazine. In the early 1980s, MTV wasn’t yet available in all parts of the United States, and the band’s earliest success on American radio, tracked almost perfectly with the expansion of MTV if a city had MTV, the local radio station would be bombarded with requests for Duran Duran. The music video was still a new format, and at a time when many were bands were shooting cheap videotape footage on the band performing on stage, Duran Duran was hiring film directors and traveling to exotic locations to film mini-movies with actual plots they filmed their videos on 33mm film, which made them look even more glossy and expensive. Video was a huge part of Duran Duran’s early success. ![]() We’ll follow that up with a brief summary of the web design specific benefits you may be able to get out of alternatives. To that end we’ll start every section with a bullet list entitled “Use in Web Design” so we can see why we’re talking about the tool or service in the first place. We’re also not going to talk about every possible benefit a tool or service might have in comparison to Google, just those specifically relevant to web designers and our clients. There are many Google based tools you may currently be using indirectly in your web design work, such as office software or email, but to avoid getting off track we’re focusing on things you might implement directly into a site or use during the actual web design process. We’ll be going through some of the Google products, services and tools used in web design, talking about why alternatives can be of benefit in each case, and exploring the most compelling options capable of delivering said benefits. Rather, it’s to refresh our knowledge of all the other very useful tools and services also out there on the wide web. Of tools and services, because undoubtedly every one of us has found them toīe very useful across the years. Note: the purpose of this article is not to malign Google’s collection It’s only prudent to be aware of all the options we have to choose between, or we might find we are missing out on some of the best the web has to offer at any given time. Even if the tools and services provided by Google are the perfect fit for your needs today, one thing web designers all know at this point is that the online world can change quickly. However, as with any set of tools, it is always worthwhile knowing what additional choices are available. We typically spend a good amount of time thinking about optimizing our content for Google’s search engine, testing our sites in their Chrome browser, hosting our videos on their YouTube platform, using their web font service, and so on. Google is essentially at the center of the web as we know it, meaning it is in turn at the center of many aspects of web design. Compared to lead or zinc plating on battery terminals (materials that can act as resistors), the brass lets your batteries work as efficiently as possible. ![]() This product stands out for its impressive ability to balance structural integrity without compromising electrical flow. Made out of brass, the stainless steel fastening tech prevents issues with corrosion and connects to most standard post batteries.
