![]() It's also a shame that LAN games are no longer supported in favour of allowing you to team up with your mates through Battle Net. Undoubtedly, single players will bemoan the rush-focused dynamic of the online game and cheated at having to wait another year or so for proper AI storylines/campaigns for the other two races. We'll see how the new Battle Net 2 pans out over the next few weeks, but the early signs for a busy and highly competitive community are promising. Take it online, however, and a different set of maps ensures skirmishes as compelling as most FPSs, with automatic searches for fellow players taking less than two minutes and a useful non-ranking phase to determine your abilities for future match-ups. The close-in perspective, with levels crammed with choke-points rather than the vast open spaces of the original, makes for a more frantic, linear experience that single players will find restrictive. Online is also the only place you can fully explore the capabilities of all three races, either in co-op mode or up to eight-player skirmishes, which also explains the basic look and feel of the game. In the levels where you're up against both alien enemies, you have to think hard about which defenses to deploy and which units to target first in the frantic firefights that ensure.Ĭrucially, Starcraft II has been designed as an online game, so much so that you can't play it at all unless you're logged into your Battle Net account. The one thing that hasn't changed is that perfect balance between the capabilities of these races, weapons and strategies. There are also interactive cut-scenes, set in various space stations or bars where the Firefly-style steam-punk characters interact or you can hire mercenaries, play arcade games and choose between weapon upgrades, including those of the other two alien races. ![]() Starcraft II looks amazing, and every level is crammed with detail – from clunking cranes to bubbling lava and passing wildlife – which all adds to a palpable realism that makes the likes of Command & Conquer 4 seem sterile and bland.

In the slow movement, a goatherd sleeps under a tree while the second violins represent “the murmuring branches and leaves” and the viola’s repeated notes represent his “faithful dog” barking (the “barking” is not in the sonnet, but rather an instruction written only in the viola part). The following episodes depict brooks, breezes, and a quick thunderstorm. In Spring’s first movement, the first tutti is the arrival of the season, while the first solo section represents the birds greeting it. They would have been keenly aware that the sounds they were making represented specific scenes. But in Vivaldi’s day the audience for his publications consisted mostly of accomplished amateur players, who could play the Four Seasons with as many players as could gather around the part-books, or as few as six, as the highlight of a social gathering. This is something that can pass unnoticed by the modern audience, which consists of listeners who aren’t looking at the music on the page. The sonnet verses are printed not only as prefaces to each concerto, but also in all the instrumental parts, in the midst of tempo and dynamic markings. ![]() Vivaldi included a sonnet for each concerto explaining what was going on, supplying not just descriptions, but performance instructions. The feature of the Four Seasons that drew the most positive and negative attention when they were new was the one aspect that was largely ignored when, after two centuries of obscurity, they started to get played again in the 1950s and 1960s: their pictorial literalness. Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) was as controversial and polarizing a figure in his time as Beethoven and Wagner in theirs. 8 (the title “Four Seasons” was not used), they were viewed as crazy modern music, or facile curiosities, or tasteless gimmickry, or the way of the future, and pretty much everything in between. ![]() Yet in 1725, when Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter were published as the first four concertos of his Op. There are perhaps 200 different recordings that can be purchased at the moment (reissues, anthologies, and excerpts make an exact count difficult), and it accounts for about half the 174 appearances Vivaldi’s music has made in movies and television, according to Internet Movie Database. ![]() Its strains are part of the sounds of modern life, heard on the radio and in department stores and elevators. This concert, and the concept behind it, came into being largely because Vivaldi’s Four Seasons has become profoundly embedded in modern culture. ![]() Your product is covered against power surges.If you sell your product, you can transfer the service contract to the new owner.Only certified, quality technicians will work on your product should you have an unexpected failure, providing you with worry-free repairs.No hidden costs or deductibles - you will not pay any additional money out of pocket for service.You can receive service as often as needed to ensure your product is working.Coverage begins the day after your manufacturer's warranty expires and terminates in the number of years as indicated for the Service Protection Plan you purchase.Functional parts and labor costs included as part of the plan in the event of a covered breakdown.

We can get caught on the software replacement merry-go-round just as easily as we can get caught on the gear replacement one. These may, or may not be, the right choice for other photographers. I happen to use a combination of 4 software programs. The key is for each of us to use whatever software program(s) work best with the gear we use… and with our photographic approach. As is often said, everything photographic comes with some kind of trade-off. Just like there is no such thing as a perfect camera, there is no perfect software. Knowing how to use the software program(s) we have is far more important that what those programs actually are. I’ll try to cover the most common issues about which I’ve had questions on this blog, as well as in personal emails. Given that I added Topaz Denoise AI to my regular workflow late last year I thought an update article may be of benefit. Since I started this blog many readers have posed questions about using multiple programs.

Over the years I have updated my version of DxO on an intermittent basis. Photographs have been added to serve as visual breaks. In 2020 I added Topaz Denoise AI to my process in post. I’ve been using DxO software in conjunction with PhotoShop CS6 and the Nik Collection for an extended period of time. About 8 years ago I started using DxO OpticsPro 8 as my main RAW processor. As regular readers will know, I’ve been using multiple programs in post for many years now. This article discusses some of the potential benefits and challenges when using multiple programs in post processing. One can choose between 3 saving options (subfolder, original folder and any folder of choice) in the Split mode merged files are saved in the same folder. The program features an in-built PDF viewer that lets the users preview files prior to applying any changes. This can be set in the "Pages" column while in "Merge" mode. In the "Split" mode it's also possible to set the prefixes for the filenames Icecream PDF Split & Merge supports selection of separate pages and intervals of pages for merging. ![]() In both "Split" and "Merge" modes users can set permissions (editing, printing, copying), password, title and author values for the output files. User can choose one that meets the requirements, use the Preview button to make sure everything looks fine, and even merge the output files back together if the document got split in a wrong way. There are 4 types of splitting modes: "Into single-paged files", "By groups of pages", "Delete certain pages", and "By page ranges". Simply enter the right password for the file before processing it. The program is capable of both splitting and merging of PDF files that are protected with the passwords. Also, Icecream PDF Split & Merge doesn't set any limitations for imports in the Merge mode, which means user can merge as many files as necessary within a single session. The program offers several convenient split modes that let users successfully complete different types of splitting tasks.

You can see quickly what AfterShot gives you, and where Lightroom fails. On AfterShot’s website, there is a comparison of AfterShot Pro 3 against Lightroom CC and Lightroom 6. And you can use lightweight software like AfterShot Pro 3 and Lightroom for culling and local adjustments. You might use the heavyweights for layers, masks, focus stacking and other complex edits. In the end, you may possibly use both types of programs. Although, the first three have introduced some more advanced features you find in Photoshop like masks and layers, and the last two listed are free. I prefer a faster workflow compared to more complex adjustments, too.īecause of this, the main competitors of AfterShot Pro 3 are Adobe Lightroom, ON1 Photo RAW, Darktable and Rawtherapee. ![]() The lightweights go for speed rather than advanced editing. Corel’s AfterShot Pro 3, Adobe Lightroom and ON1 Photo RAW fall into this category. They process images faster than a butterfly moves but lack the more complex post-processing tools. Photoshop and Capture One are great examples of these. There are the heavy hitters, who have all the advanced tools but a slower workflow. And looking at the many different ones out there, it’s easy to see how they both fall into one of two groups. AfterShot Pro 3 and Lightroom are image-editing software. ![]() ![]() Avoid placing it on the floor, in a corner or in the basement.

Logistical and environmental tips for improving internet speed Music streaming services like Apple Music and SpotifyĢ.Video streaming devices that run Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube TV, etc.Having devices on ‘sleep’ or paused will continue to use internet bandwidth, so try to shut them down completely whenever possible. Turn off non-essential devicesĮnsure that all devices that are deemed non-essential at any given moment are turned off. Now that you’ve taken inventory, there are four things you can do that will help improve your internet speed. This may be a good time to rediscover reading, knitting or taking long walks (practicing social distancing, of course!). However, if a family member or roommate is working during off-peak hours, it’s important that they minimize their use of streaming devices and services during peak hours. If schedules are flexible, try to have one or more people work during off-peak hours, when the network is less taxed. Only turn on video for high-level or more personal meetings. If you have two or more people working under one roof, talk over how to work together effectively. Video meetings are a great way to stay connected, but they can take a lot of bandwidth. This will free up valuable daytime bandwidth and may improve internet performance. ![]() If you need to download large files for school or work, do so overnight on a cloud-based backup. If you’re using a VPN, be sure to use it only when needed. For example, work-related duties will likely take precedence over streaming your favorite show. Determine priority useĪfter you’ve gauged how many devices are using your internet, consider what is a priority. Don’t forget to count smart devices such as Google Home or Alexa, security devices, smart TVs, thermostats, home security systems, and many other smart appliances. Every connected device in your home eats up a portion of your bandwidth, so the more devices you have, the lower the overall speed of your internet will be. Take an account of all the devices that are using your internet service through either a wireless or wired connection. Run the internet speed test on one device, ideally with all other devices switched off, and repeat the test a few times to get a more accurate picture of your overall speed. If you find your internet speed has slowed, try these tips to get it moving again.īefore you get started, it’s helpful to know what your internet speed is currently. In many households, we’re doing many online activities all at the same time, from early morning to late in the evening. At the end of the day, to wind down, we often reach for the remote and tune in to our favorite streaming shows. In homes across the nation, people are telecommuting while kids of all ages are accessing the internet to learn and keep in touch with friends. ![]() ![]() Kaleidoscope = cv2.resize(kaleidoscope_big, (0,0), fx=0.5, fy=0.5, interpolation=cv2.INTER_LINEAR)Ĭv2.imwrite('river_valley_kaleidoscope_mask.png', mask)Ĭv2.imwrite('river_valley_kaleidoscope.
