  • Photoshop – Auto Enhance Features

    Before we get into the manual corrections, we need to show you the different auto correction features in Photoshop. Auto Tone, Auto Contrast, and Auto Color are the areas we will be discussing in this tutorial. You will find most of the time, these 3 tools will improve your image, but most of the time if you manually adjust the settings you will get better results. If you are looking for a quick fix, these tools will do a good job (not a great job) at correcting lighting and enhancing colors. Along the way, we will show you how to even enhance a portion of the Photo!

  • DSLR 101 – White Balance

    251693960_23f2711016We’re continuing with our DSLR 101 this week and today we’re explaining white balance.

    What?
    White balance is responsible for keeping your photos the correct temperature. A low colour temperature creates more red, a higher colour temperature more blue. Digital cameras create the correct colour temperature by picking the part of the photo that it thinks should be white and filtering the light to make that area white.

    Why?
    If you want natural looking photos you need the correct white balance. In other words having the correct white balance prevents your photos from looking too cold (blue) or too warm (red). Although your camera will have an Automatic White Balance (AWB) setting digital cameras are not as good at detecting which part of the photo should be white as you are.

    You can get a more accurate white balance by choosing a manual setting for the white balance or creating a custom white balance of your own.

    How?
    Most DSLRs will let you choose a white balance from within the menu. The choices are likely to include daylight, shade, cloudy/twilight, tungsten, fluorescent light, and flash. Using these setting is a good start and can improve your photos greatly, especially those taken in the more extremes light (such as fluorescent light or twilight).

    To get the most accurate white balance you can set a custom white balance. You can buy a grey card from most photography stores to help you do this, or you can find a white object in your shot and use that instead. Fill the viewfinder with the grey card, or the white object, and shoot using manual focus. The exact method of setting this as the white balance varies from camera to camera, you may have to press the white balance button before you take the shot or after. Check the manual of your camera to find out how yours works.

    Extra Tip
    For most situations AWB or one of the manual settings will do just fine but it’s worth learning how to set the custom white balance, especially if you do a lot of shooting indoors.

  • Stereoscopic audio-visual meditation session where binaural sound beats

    “Break Of Reality” A 60 min stereoscopic audio-visual meditation session where binaural sound beats presented as a combination of Alpha and intense Theta Brainwave Stimulation combined with subliminal visual stimulators in Anaglyph 3D. Designed to help you develop PSI abilities, this allows the viewer to experience sensations that are normally not apparent in every day life. In theory this connection to a higher plane often gets established when we experience something unique , something that everyone can now experience though our meditation sessions.

    sites.google.com Auto-stereoscopic 3D Display. No need for special Glasses NAB 2009 #3 alioscopyusa.com Alioscopy’s displays are equipped with an array of lenticular lenses that cast different images onto each eye. Each lens magnifies a different point of view for each eye because it is viewed from slightly different angles. This results in a state of the art visual stereo effect. Alioscopy technology supports both 2D and 3D content in full HD resolution (1920 x 1080p). Standard video can be shown as well as specific 3D content, rendered with typical 3D software such as 3ds Max, Maya, Lightwave, and XSI. The Alioscopy display uses 8 interleaved images to produce the autostereoscopic 3D effect. The eight images can be created by a variety of methods, but they must represent 8 views of the 3D scene created by the Off-Axis Projection Method. Off-Axis Projection requires the use of asymmetric camera viewing cones as can be seen in the figure below. The left cone is in blue, the right in red.
