  • Resizing for ACCC Competition Rev 1.0 9/12/2011
    Resizing for ACCC Competition Rev 1.0 9/12/2011 This document contains instructions for resizing your images to comply with the new Digital Image Competition Guidelines. In this document we have attempted to provide instructions that cover most of the image editing programs in common use by our members. However, it is entirely possible that some have been omitted. If you let us know, we will try to incorporate those applications in future versions of these Instructions. In the meantime, studying the options available in other programs will most likely be helpful in figuring out what you need to do in your particular software. Currently, instructions for the following programs are included: • Photoshop • Lightroom • Aperture • Image Processor (from Bridge or Photoshop) • Photoshop Elements • Irfanview • Picasa • Canon Digital Photo Professional 3 • Nikon View NX • Capture NX / NX2 • Paint Shop Pro (links to tutorials) Adobe Photoshop CS5 With your image open in Photoshop, go to Image > Image Size and the following dialog box will open. Make sure that the three boxes on the bottom left are checked and the Resolution is set to 300 pixels/inch. Then, change the image dimensions so that the longest edge of your image (height in the example below) does not exceed 1920 pixels and the shortest edge does not exceed 1080 pixels. In the example above the longest dimension was reduced to 1620 when 1080 was used for the shortest dimension. Under “Resample Image” choose Bicubic Sharper from the drop down box. If you want to use the full allowable dimensions of 1920 X 1080 you must crop the image to achieve the 16:9 aspect ratio.

  • Freeware Irfanview Windows 10 Latest Version Download Freeware Irfanview Windows 10 Latest Version Download
    freeware irfanview windows 10 latest version download Freeware irfanview windows 10 latest version download. Advantages of IrfanView 64-bit over 32-bit version: It can load VERY large files/images (image RAM size over 1.3 GB, for special users) Faster for very large images (25+ Megapixels, loading or image operations) Runs 'only' on a 64-bit Windows (Vista, Win7, Win8, Win10) Advantages of IrfanView 32-bit over 64-bit version: Runs on a 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Loads all files/images for normal needs (max. RAM size is about 1.3 GB) Needs less disc space All PlugIns will work: not all PlugIns are ported (yet) to 64-bit (like OCR) and some 32-bit PlugIns must be still used in the 64-bit version, some with limitations (see the "Plugins32" folder) Some old 32-bit PlugIns (like RIOT and Adobe 8BF PlugIn) work only in compatilibilty mode in IrfanView-64 ( only 32-bit 8BF files/effects can be used ) Command line options for scanning (/scan etc.) work only in 32-bit (because no 64-bit TWAIN drivers ) Notes: You can install both versions on the same system, just use different folders . For example: install the 32-bit version in your "Program Files (x86)" folder and the 64-bit version in your "Program Files" folder (install 32-bit PlugIns to IrfanView-32 and 64-bit PlugIns to IrfanView-64, DO NOT mix the PlugIns and IrfanView bit versions) The program name and icon have some extra text in the 64-bit version for better distinguishing. Available 64-bit downloads.

  • CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND 1.1.1 Computer Graphics
    CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND Computer graphics and animation is a very broad and wide aspect of computer science, and has effects on our everyday living. Dissemination of information with good graphical user interface becomes very important when very important information have to be passed across. This project would be split into the two aspects (graphics and animation) sometimes during the course of discussion. 1.1.1 Computer Graphics Computers have become a powerful tool for the rapid and economical production of pictures. There is virtually no area in which graphical displays cannot be used to some advantage, and so it is not surprising to find the use of computer graphics so widespread. Although early applications in engineering and science had to rely on expensive and cumbersome equipment, advances in computer technology have made interactive computer graphics a practical tool. Today, we find computer graphics used routinely in such diverse areas as science, Engineering, medicine, business, industry, government, art, entertainment, advertising, Education and training. Before we get into the details of how to do computer graphics, we first take a short tour through a gallery of graphics applications. A major use of computer graphics is in design processes, particularly for engineering and architectural systems, but almost all products are now computer designed. Generally referred to as CAD, computer-aided design methods are now routinely used in the design of buildings, automobiles, aircraft, watercraft, spacecraft, computers, textiles, and many, many other products. For some design applications; object are first displayed in a wireframe outline form that shows the overall sham and internal features of objects.

    Tools and resources Software for research, analysis and writing can be costly to purchase, but free and/or Open Source software is often as good as, and sometimes better than, the commercial equivalent. Here we provide information and links for some of the best software tools of which we are aware. The Editor’s picks are highlighted. If you know of good free and/or Open Source tools that we haven’t mentioned, please let us know. Analysis, data presentation and statistics Bibliography, writing and research tools Data sources Geographical Information Systems Drawing, image editing and management Operating systems Analysis, data presentation and statistics camtrapR is for management of and data extraction from camera-trap photographs. It provides a workflow for storing and sorting camera-trap photographs, tabulates records of species and individuals, creates detection/non-detection matrices for occupancy and spatial capture–recapture analyses, and has simple mapping functions. Requires R, which is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. Density: spatially explicit capture–recapture uses the locations where animals are detected to fit a spatial model of the detection process, and hence to estimate population density unbiased by edge effects and incomplete detection. Requires R, which is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. Distance is for the design and analysis of distance sampling surveys of wildlife populations. Requires R, which is available for Windows, Mac and Linux, and is also available as separate Windows software. DotDotGoose is a tool to assist with the manual counting of objects in images.

Raster (bitmap) graphics are one of the two most commonly used graphic formats in design, the other being vector graphics. Photoshop, an image-editing program (sometimes known as a raster graphics editor), enables you to select and edit pixels of a bitmap graphic and save or export the artwork in file formats such as JPEG, PNG, GIF and TIFF. Raster graphics are generally used to display photographic content. These files display individual pixels that contain unique colour values; when viewed together, the pixels comprise the photo or image.
