  • LG Optimus 3D Review Part 1

    LG Optimus 3D Review Part 1 by Aaron The 3D revolution is upon us! Aaron reviews the LG Optimus 3D, a device that was announced at Mobile World Congress earlier in the year. With a 1 GHz dual-core TI OMAP processor, the Optimus 3D offers a 4.3-inch stereoscopic display, dual 5-megapixel cameras, front-facing camera for video calling, and Android 2.2 with LG’s user interface. It’s the first of many 3D smartphones to come. Is it worth trying to obtain unlocked, or should you wait for the HTC EVO 3D, a carrier-subsidized unit? We’ll figure it out.

    Very quick semi tutorial (you need to hit pause if you want to read the text, sorry about that, also there’s no sound..) on how to fix a scanned document or sheetmusic in Photoshop so that it comes out in strong black and white, and straight. (I was adjusting a scanned sheet so I can tape it to the piano, and I wanted to test out my new video editing software, and the free screenrecorder..I might have to google for one that does sound.) 1. Add Level adjustment layer and select black and white point. 2. Flatten. 3. Make straight. 4. Desaturate. 5. Save. Done.
