![]() ![]() I can't stress enough how useful the Helicon Remote is though. ![]() It's also sharper and the HDR effect shows excellent dynamic with proper detail in both the dark and highlighted areas. Worst of all though, the Focus stacking post-processing created this awful stain artefact on the meerkat face and blouse that is probably due to the processing algorithms, whereas the Photoshop rendering result is almost impeccable. Focus didn't quite handle the HDR effect properly, appeared less sharp, its color balance maybe appearing more pleasing to the eye at first sight, but in reality the Photoshop color balance is more correct as I compare my impression of the image with the real thing next to me as I write this. Photoshop is far superior than Focus but it takes longer and is more complex to handle (unless one somehow automates the batch process in a script). ![]() ![]() This could have been done in thousand different ways but that's how I did it. The resulting pictures were combined together on a common canvas in Photoshop, and texts and arrows added subsequently in Voila. The two final images, one from Helicon and one from Photoshop, I then opened in Lightroom and only corrected them for color balance by picking a gray spot in the meerkat's nose. I'm not getting into details how to do this in Photoshop as the net is loaded with reviews and videos about this. Returning to Photoshop with the original 36 source files, I created 9 HDR files first with the Photoshop HDR function, whom I then combined via the Photoshop focus stacking (edit blend layers) function into a final shot. The combined result for HDR/FS out of Helicon Focus is shown on the left on the picture above (click for larger view). They seem to process all the frames at once. In honesty, I have no idea how they do HDR first and focus stacking next, I couldn't find anywhere where they explain that particular detail, so I asked them by email yesterday, but received no reaction yet. Once all my shots were done (4 for Exposure bracketing for 9 focus points in all, that is 36 frames in total), I loaded them in Helicon Focus for post-processing and let Helicon do the rest. I applied Exposure Bracketing for this demonstration and defined 4 bracket points with 1/3 diaphragm distance between them. An additional Remote bonus is the ability to bracket exposure up to 15 different points and define the shooting parameters for each one of them individually (if you got the patience and know what you're doing, that is). You can preview the results live (for Canon gear it can also show actual Depth of Field - DOF) and you can define the manual settings for exposure and speed, as well as the ISO setting, with their direct visual effect shown on your computer monitor. To understand how Helicon Remote works, you define the closest focus point, then the farthest, and it calculates the number of shots needed for best results between the two extremes, as well as the interval between two consecutive focus points. Helicon has plenty of functions and parameters to both, shoot pictures and post-process them. The Photoshop is part of my Creative Suite 6 Academic Edition. I received Remote together with Helicon Focus Pro on an one year user license. The shots were programmed with Helicon Remote tethered to the 5D. The meerkat is a present I got on my latest b-day. I'll only share my experience on the results of focus stacking based on a series of frames shot with my 5D Mark III and the Canon 100mm macro lens. It's only about focus stacking, for which Helicon Focus is actually made, whereas for Photoshop it's only one of thousands of functionalities it otherwise offers. To clear things up beforehand, this is not an exhaustive comparison of the two as it would defeat the purpose. ![]()

Rushdie, recipient of an award for courage, the gala was an opportunity to stand up to the tyranny of his foes. Anti-Russian sentiment has also gripped the West, leading to the cancellation of performances by Russian artists.The Ukrainian writer-soldiers said that they faced legal and ethical restrictions that prevented their participation, and that they weren’t “boycotting.” But the end result was the same: a curtailing of speech by PEN America, ironic for an organization founded to defend free expression.For Mr. Many Ukrainians now have a deep aversion to all things Russian – language, literature, performing arts. Russia’s invasion isn’t just territorial it’s also cultural. “Don’t these folks realize they are on the same side? Literally no one involved in this whole dispute supports Putin or his war, so what are they fighting about?”The sensitivities are understandable. Suzanne Nossel, the organization’s CEO, called it “a no-win situation.”To Americans who care deeply about Ukraine while also seeking to defend Russians who have nothing to do with the war or outright oppose it, the PEN America situation is exasperating.“The relentless zero-sum approach is just awful,” says an analyst with long experience in the post-Soviet world, speaking not for attribution. PEN canceled the panel that included Russians.Acclaimed Russian émigré journalist Masha Gessen quit as vice president of the PEN America board over the episode. The Russians oppose President Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine and had left their country shortly after last year’s invasion, but the Ukrainians – both active-duty soldiers – stood firm. Rushdie, who has faced death threats since the 1988 publication of his novel “The Satanic Verses,” deemed by Iran’s ayatollahs to be blasphemous toward Islam.A clash over free speech had earlier marred PEN America’s World Voices Festival, when two Ukrainian authors threatened not to appear after learning that two Russian writers were participating in a different panel. ![]() ![]() Salman Rushdie’s surprise appearance at last night’s PEN America Literary Gala – a celebration of free expression – ended a week of controversy on a high note.It was the author’s first public appearance since he was attacked and gravely wounded last August at a literary festival in western New York.“It’s nice to be back,” said Mr. ![]() ![]() ![]() In all subsequent shorts, Spike becomes typecast as the stereotypical dumb brute who is always duped into becoming a shield for Jerry from Tom. However, in his first appearance The Bodyguard, after Jerry willingly saved him from being poached, he became Jerry's protector whenever needed. In his early appearance, Dog Trouble, Spike as an unnamed Bulldog is the main antagonist, chasing and attacking both Tom and Jerry on sight, even trying to eat Jerry, which forced the two to work together to defeat him. Several stories also have Jerry taking advantage of Spike and Tyke's size and proximity, as he often tries to hide or sleep with or near Spike and Tyke for protection. Jerry also arranges to get Tom in trouble with Spike, provoking a chase, and/or a pounding from the bulldog, and Spike will keep Tom's attention off Jerry for a while. Spike's fiercest behavior is reserved for anyone who interferes with Tyke, but also, Spike's generally well-intentioned brain is at times easily outwitted by Tom and/or Jerry. Spike has a few weaknesses that Tom tries to capitalize upon: his possessiveness about his bone and his ticklishness. Tom does not usually antagonize Spike intentionally, but Spike often ends up in the middle of a Tom and Jerry chase, (as they are all seemingly living together) which ends up waking Spike up, ruining his new dog house, wrecking his and Tyke's picnic, and so on. The Truce Hurts (1948), Pet Peeve (1954) and Hic-Cup Pup (1954) are so far the only cartoons where Spike actually cares about and shows affection for Tom these relationships often dissolve and usually end with them fighting. Spike's relationships with Tom and Jerry have varied from time to time, but essentially Spike has little affection for Tom Cat, who seems always to be disrupting his life, causing trouble, antagonizing Tyke or all of the above. In Tom and Jerry Kids, Tyke has a speaking role for the first time, aside from traditional dog noises he expressed in the prior films. ![]() Spike and Tyke's characters, provide a model of father and son behavior, with Spike spending much of his free time taking Tyke on father-son outings, teaching him the facts of life for dogs and guarding him diligently when they are sleeping. Tyke is a sweet, happy and innocent puppy, who doesn't speak for most of the earlier installments. Spike was voiced by Bletcher until 1949, from which point he was voiced by Patrick McGeehan, Jerry Mann, Bob Shamrock, John Brown, Stan Freberg, and Daws Butler, with a thick New Yorker accent similar to Jimmy Durante's.Īfter Dog Trouble, Spike appeared as a solo guest in Tom and Jerry cartoons for the next several years his son Tyke was introduced in 1949, with Love That Pup. Spike made his early appearance as an unnamed Bulldog in the 1942 Tom and Jerry cartoon Dog Trouble, and his first appearance and his first speaking role was in The Bodyguard (1944), where he was voiced by Billy Bletcher. However, Spike's character also has a very stern, and fierce side, for occasions such as when he is defending his son Tyke. Spike (who goes by different names in a few episodes - Killer for four episodes, Butch for two episodes, and Bulldog for one) is portrayed as an American Bulldog, who is generally amiable and friendly, and a loving father to his son Tyke in several episodes. Spike and Tyke are fictional characters from the Tom and Jerry animated film series, created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Step 2 Adjust Output Preferences to Download Qobuz Musicīefore the recordings start, some preparations must be made.

So this setting has nothing whatsoever to do with the actual resolution of a raster image created from the (vector) artwork (but it ought to (at least) match it).įor clean and crisp artwork avoid JPEG to get the colours right, you may wish/need to finalize by opening the PNG in PS (Photoshop) and attach the (missing) colour profile (such as sRGB) there. It is important to remember that a raster image represents the whole appearance, including strokes, so to make sure you get it right you can click Show Preview Bounds in the General Preferences (and untick it afterwards).Ī very common unsuitable way is to Export to PNG (remember to use PNG24 and use Transparency for artwork to be in front of different backgrounds) with a medium or high resolution, such as 300PPI.Īnd a common misunderstanding: (almost) 11 out of 10 times, a statement like "I created the document at 300 PPI" means that the value is chosen in Effect>Document Raster Effects Settings however that only means that the (current) resolution of any raster effects applied to the vector artwork, such as (any kind of) Blur, is set to that value (and only unless/until the value is changed to something else) when zooming in, this resolution can be seen in contrast to and on the background of the vector artwork. It is easiest and safest to work at the desired size when creating the artwork. If you wish to have PNGs (PNG24 (also (little) known as PNG32, it holds 24 bit colour and 8 bit Alpha channel (transparency)), of course) look crisp and clean, at least when it is (also) to be used at moderate screen resolutions, it is important to have the images in the exact desired final pixel x pixel size, or at sizes that are powers of 2 times as large (2x, 4x, 8x, and so on, the larger values can improve the appearance on high resolution screens and still ensure best possible appearance at low resolution screens) forget about image resolution which may actually lead to wrong sizes and hence blurriness, or work at 72PPI or powers of 2 times as large (144PPI, 266PPI, 576PPI, and so on). The following may sound unforgivably outdated and boring, sorry. One way is to create the logo at a size of 3000 pt = px and then export at 72 PPI.Īnother way is to just keep the artwork at whichever size it is and then use the legacy Save for Web and set the pixel size. You simply have to export in a way that gives you the required size, which can be done in different ways. The pixel size is only defined, or rather chosen, when you export to a raster format, presumably PNG24 in connexion with a logo. ![]() ![]() That's why a random movie generator would come in so handy. That's 6 hours a month! Studies show that the average person wastes 6 hours a month just looking for a movie to watch. That means you're wasting 1 hour and 30 minutes a week.

In order for your IW2 to work, please use the old version of IW2 with the old version of Wireless Receiver, and the new version of IW2 with the new version of Wireless Receiver. If the model number shows “CSW2- 02IP-A1”, it means that you have to use it with the newer version. If the model number shows “CSW2- 01IP-A2”, it means that you have to use the Wireless Receiver with the older version of IW2. Next, check the triangular sticker tab of the Wireless Receiver for the model number. “CSW2- 01IP” denotes an older version, while “CSW2- 02IP” denotes a newer version. The model number of the Sensor Cam can be found on the Sensor Cam itself. Hence, to sort things out, you’ll need to check the model number of your Sensor Cams and the Wireless Receivers and make sure they match. How do I know which Wireless Receiver is for which?ĭo note that the Wireless Receivers (old and new) cannot be used interchangeably.
