This means that if a member glyph of a kerning class is kerned with another glyph or class, FontLab assumes that you want to kern its entire parent class unless you specify otherwise. ![]() The classes used for kerning are called Kerning classes.įontLab allows you to kern between two glyphs, a glyph and a kerning class, a kerning class and a glyph, or between two kerning classes but class kerning has the highest priority. This approach to kerning is called Class Kerning and is defined in the glyph positioning (GPOS) feature kern. Such glyphs can be grouped together into classes, and kerning can be defined between classes, rather than between individual pairs. Some glyphs can have the the same outer shape on one or both sides-such as the left side of letters C, G and O, or both sides of A, Ā, Á, Ä and Ã-and so they could share the same kerning values, when they are being kerned with other glyphs.

Altered state store5/16/2023 ![]() ![]() We had to break down everything and itemize everything inside of standard commercial production, from a videographer and sound engineer to editing to exports. We manually created our first quote and offered it as a 100% free service for their first gig. This allowed me to build my portfolio and gain field experience in how we would manage the discovery, production, and distribution of the entire project. I never had even media as a line of expertise, so I scouted a couple of artists and asked them to collaborate. I added to areas I didn’t yet have as much familiarity with by providing the service for free to gain experience and learn about the process. After years of freelancing, I had a portfolio, and I knew it would be my biggest asset. ![]() When building the first version of the business, we needed a portfolio. ![]() A face-to-face meeting, a shoot day where I would meet the talent, and a 30-day turnaround time to edit where we sent the order via Google Drive link. Our initial prototype was a very manual process that still exists to this day for most production companies. I communicated my expenses and what was included in each product on my product pages.įinally, I tested and refined my pricing and product offerings, gathering feedback and making any necessary adjustments to ensure that I was meeting the needs of my customers and running a sustainable business. I set my prices, considering my operating costs and the value I was providing to my customers. I determined my operating costs and developed my product offerings, creating detailed descriptions of each product and what was included in the final delivery. I then researched my competition to understand the market and identify opportunities for differentiation. I first defined my target market and identified their needs and pain points to build the first version of my Service as a Product model. Take us through the process of building the first version of your product.Īfter years of freelancing, I had a portfolio, and I knew it would be my biggest asset. I would also look at billboards on long drives and find myself testing demo video cameras.Īt ten years old, I used our family's first VHS video camera to make short films with my brother and record improv skits, often using pre-recorded tapes that I wasn't supposed to use. I would watch the Super Bowl just to see the new commercials and go to the theater early to watch the trailers. What's your backstory and how did you come up with the idea?Īs a child, I was always fascinated with media placements and commercials.

![]() ![]() It has support for a large number of devices. Maybe, I need to test more of these PS2 titles on this emulator. I did not face anything like that so far. Some people reported instability when it comes to PS2 games.It has a tedious configuration process.If you face those problems, uninstall it and install an older version. You can access and use nightly builds of the emulator in case you want to use and experience the newest features that are not available in the latest stable version.You can configure it as per your preferences. It supports joysticks and keyboard mapping.There are loads of excellent video tutorials and detailed compilation guides that will help you with the installation process.In the case of Windows, RetroArch has support even for Windows 95 but, who uses that now? It is a dinosaur! I mean extinct!.You can get a complete list of the supported devices from the download link I provided below. It supports Windows, Mac, Apple TV, iOS, Android, Raspberry Pi, Linux, various gaming consoles, etc. It is free to use and there are no malware or other harmful programs hidden in it.Who knows? You may just get addicted to games meant for other consoles. If you install this thing, you can give other console games. Having said that, I will also like to reiterate the fact that RetroArch can support way more of games compared to any standalone emulator. While it may sound interesting, getting this thing up and running is a tedious process and if you want to play on PS2 games, going for a standalone emulator makes more sense. So essentially, you get multiple emulators in a single emulator. Once you install RetroArch, you can go ahead and install different gaming console emulators called Cores. RetroArch is a frontend for multiple emulators. I will start by saying that if you are not interested in games for other gaming consoles and you want to stick only with PS2 games, going for RetroArch is not a good option. 1.RetroArch RetroArch Emulator User Interface on Windows PC ![]()

Panasonics sd formatter5/16/2023 ![]() ![]() As instructed, I try accessing “In the header, there’s a link for “Japanese”, so I go on to the Japanese page. So, following the video, there’s one more thing to download. This was my first time with such a big compressed file, so I didn’t know! Huh?

At present time, the newest version of “NOOBS” is 1.3.9, and the file size is about 1.3GB. ![]() There are various types, but this time I downloaded “NOOBS”, the same as in the video.Īt the beginning of the “NOOBS” instructions is “Beginners”, so it seems beginners would be well advised to follow them from here.

The video itself was still left, so I’ll move forward using this as a reference. The page has been renewed, and the video can’t be found there anymore. This is page 3 of the official help I talked about at the end of last article. Then let’s turn away from the Raspberry Pi temporarily, and go back to work on the Windows machine. But the SD card is not included, so I’ll download the files onto my SD card. The Raspberry Pi uses an SD card instead of memory or a hard-drive. It seems like things will get a bit harder from here, but it won’t be long until the foundation of the Raspberry Pi is completed! Let’s Go onto the SD Card Preparation! This time, I want to install the OS and complete it to the point where the Raspberry Pi can start up, all in one go. But, one of the most important part, preparing and installing the OS, was still left to do. Last time, I talked about the exterior of the Raspberry Pi, getting the necessary parts ready and connecting them. ![]()

Analytical cubism5/16/2023 ![]() It is normally stated that Cubism is a continuation of the style of Cézanne. But is it necessary we who are wrong? Let us look first at what the critics say about the pictures. We are told that Cubism is Picasso’s great contribution to art, but we stare at those murky brown pictures, the one virtually identical to the other, with a sense of gloomy disappointment. And yet, most of us have been bored at Cubist exhibitions. The latter is generally thought of as twentieth-century art par excellence. ![]() No artistic movement this century has acquired greater prestige than Cubism. Characteristics of Cubism – Georges Braque Georges Braque ‘Still Life With Violin’ 1914 Picasso and Cubism Many of the devices used were intended to flatten the picture plane and create an image with less depth than the earlier Analytical Cubist paintings. Synthetic Cubism tended to push objects together rather than pick them apart for analysis. Cubist paintings included cuttings from newspapers, sheet music, pieces of cloth and painted text. In the development of Synthetic Cubism, Picasso was the first person to use collage and text in a fine art painting. Other characteristics were greater use of color and greater interest in decorative effects. The main characteristics of Synthetic Cubism were the use of mixed media and collage and the creation of a flatter space than with analytical cubism. Synthetic Cubism is a later development of the Cubist Movement, and the first painting representative of this style is thought to be Pablo Picasso’s ‘Still Life With Chair Caning’ of 1912. Still Life With Chair Caning courtesy of Interactive FountainsĬharacteristics of Cubism – Synthetic Cubism (1912 – 1920) Picasso took this approach forward and Braque gave up his Fauvist style of painting to work with Picasso on the development of Cubism. Analytical Cubism was a direct development from Cezanne’s approach to painting. They were almost like drawings in the lack of color and monochromatic concentration on line and form.Īn important exhibition of work by Paul Cezanne in 1907 was a huge influence on both Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Analytical Cubism was concerned with breaking down forms analytically into simplified geometric forms across the picture. Two main branches of Cubism are generally acknowledged – Analytical Cubism and the later Synthetic Cubism. Characteristics of Cubism – Analytical Cubism (1910 – 1912) The Cubist artists went much further than Cezanne, representing objects as if they were visible on all sides at the same time. The main characteristics of Cubism were the rejection of the single viewpoint in favor of showing the fragmented subject from several different points of view, combined with the simplification of forms. Cubism followed on directly from the work of Paul Cezanne, who was very concerned with structure and breaking down objects into their simplest forms, as well as emphasizing the multiple viewpoints of binocular vision. Who Invented Cubism – History, and Characteristics of Cubism Pablo Picasso’s ‘Guitar Player’ of 1910Īs with most modern art movements, Cubism sprang from a desire to break with the past and change the meaning of art. Following this, the term quickly became widely adopted. ![]() In terms of who invented the actual name ‘Cubism’, this came about in 1908 when the artist Henri Matisse described Georges Braque’s ‘Houses at L’Estaque’ as being made up of little cubes. The overall effect is one of a fractured and distorted image. The nudes in the painting have mask-like faces and are made up of sharp angular forms. The breakthrough piece is quite clearly Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, which marks a sudden change in style and shows the influence of African and primitive art forms. ![]() It can certainly be said that the person who invented Cubism was Pablo Picasso. ![]()

Image resize code5/15/2023 ![]() Value of the new pixel can be computed as weighted average of nearest pixel and its neighbors (weights are given by the filter). When the image is scaled up, a space between pixels must be filled with some new pixel values. Much better results can be achieved using some interpolation spline. On the contrary, when downsampling by factor 2, every second pixel is lost: So called Nearest Neighbor ( .NearestNeighbor) filter is the fastest one, but it produces blocky artifacts on image stretching because this filter just copies samples from old image to a new image (no interpolation between them). ![]() If you've decided for GDI+ to resize your images, you can choose from variety of filters. Image resizing (or resampling) is one of the most common functions of every raster image processing tool. Grfx.PixelOffsetMode = PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality Image Resampling with GDI+ Filters Graphics grfx = Graphics.FromImage(imgInput) This problem can be easily solved using the ImageAttributes object in DrawImage method override (don't forget to dispose it): It's hard to see, but that last image is sharper than the third one, but there is other more visible defect in the GDI+ resampled version: The original roof image can be found in Wikipedia in the "Moiré pattern" article. This filter has three times larger radius, so it provides highest quality image from these filters (roof tiles are more visible and sharper): Finally, there is the image output from filtering via Lanczos8 filter (radius 8) from the ResamplingService class. ![]() Even better quality is provided by the High Quality Bicubic filter (radius 2). Much better quality can be obtained by using the GDI+ Low filter (second image - filter has radius 1). These examples shows the aliasing artifact produced by a so called Nearest Neighbor filter (first image from left). This effect is most visible when using a filter with low radius (this filter includes too few adjacent pixels around sample from old image). Samples taken from old images create new frequencies in the new image. This artifact can be seen when one shrinks images without blurring image before zooming, so the high frequencies in the image create a pattern. The first mentoined artifact was the Moiré pattern which appears due to aliasing. This article presents class for image resampling with more precise filters. In spite of GDI+, filters have big problems with Moiré patterns, they make some artifacts on image borders (it's not an error and can be eliminated, as will be discussed later). In order to prevent these artifacts, enhance edges and reduce pixelation - more complex filters were designed. One of the most unpleasant artifacts is the Moiré effect which can appear while scaling detailed image down. These filters works with reference to image's frequency spectra or edges. In some software products (especially specialized software for astronomical and medical imaging), we can see filters with strange names like Hermite, Mitchell or Lanczos. These are part of some "standard", but experts and freaks know that these filters doesn't provide as nice images as other filters can. A commonly used image resizing methods are e.g. You can preserve the aspect ratio by specifying only width and setting height to auto using CSS property.Even the GDI+ methods aren't the most comprehensive. When you specify both height and width, the image might lose its aspect ratio. ![]() img Preserving the aspect ratio while resizing images You can also specify the height and width in CSS. You can use Thumbor or a free image CDN like ImageKit.io to resize images dynamically using URL parameters. ![]() To overcome this, you should serve already resized images from the server. There are a couple of downsides of client-side image resizing, mainly poor image quality and slower image rendering. The exact algorithm used by the browser for scaling can vary and depends on the underlying hardware and OS. If the image element's required height and width don’t match the image's actual dimensions, then the browser downscales (or upscale) the image. We can render it with a height of 500 pixels and a width of 400 pixels CSS pixels.įor example, the original image is 640×960. These values specify the height and width of the image element. One of the simplest ways to resize an image in the HTML is using the height and width attributes on the img tag. If your image doesn’t fit the layout, you can resize it in the HTML. ![]()

Word for a book collector5/15/2023 ![]() ![]() “Ever since, I’ve had an exciting time with books, bookshops, auction sales, etc., but never once have I seen or heard of a woman book-collector. Earle wrote an article for The American Book Collector called, “Pandora Buys a Book: A Collector in Search of an Author,” in which she lamented that she did not know of any other women book collectors. At best, so little can be remembered of all there is to learn about books and literature, that it is wise to settle in a small corner of this book-site and it is advisable to build well and slowly, rather than erect an entire village and try to cover the available acreage too rapidly.” “The field for bibliophiles is so large that it is difficult to choose the location where one hopes to build one frequently feels like a child selecting a candy from an enormous box of sweets. Marjorie Wiggin Prescott wrote Stray Thoughts of a Book Collector in 1932, in which she describes her approach to book collecting. Essays and memoirs by women bibliophiles can help us to understand their experiences and philosophies of book collecting in their own words. To get beyond general claims about women as the enemies of books, or bibliomania as a strictly masculine pursuit, it helps to go straight to the source. Now, I am not one to seek out – let alone brag about – being afflicted with a psychological disorder, but I do consider myself a serious collector.” It seems that men alone possess the necessary obsessive-compulsive behaviour to build important collections. “I was recently informed, in a friendly but insistent manner, that only men can be great book collectors. Certainly I can trace my attack to its deadly germ.” In his essay “ Mary Hyde and the Unending Pursuit,” Jerry Morris quotes collector Laura Barnes from a Rare Book Review article: Hill Burton defines first as a ‘human frailty,’ then as a ‘peculiar malady,’ which is the definition I accept. ![]() The culinary collector Elizabeth Robins Pennell wrote in My Cookery Books that “Dr. In Anatomy of Bibliomania, Holbrook Jackson claimed that “Book love is as masculine (although not as common) as growing a beard.” Thomas Dibdin wrote in The Bibliomania, or Book-Madness that bibliomania “has almost uniformly confined its attacks to the male sex, and among these, to people in the higher and middling classes.” Despite that perception, women have occasionally experienced the disease of bibliomania themselves. Those whose hobby was aesthetic or sentimental were stealth-collectors who simply disappeared from the historical radar.” …The only women collectors taken seriously by men were those who collected on men’s terms. “So pervasive was the conflation of men, market, and collecting that it has been difficult for most observers to even see that women were collecting, albeit in a style that was different from men. In Hobbies: Leisure and the Culture of Work in America, Steven M. ![]() Therefore, I’m particularly interested in descriptions of book collecting by women themselves. Traditional definitions of book collecting have often neglected or even specifically excluded women. It can be difficult to define exactly what it means to be a book collector or what kind of activity counts as collecting. Du Guernier to Steele’s Ladies Library (vol 1, 1714). ![]()
