![]() ![]() I think that a dark indigo color would be the best. This will boost the saturation of the overall image.įinally let’s add some color to our drawing. We could use Brightness and Contrast Adjustment Layer but I think we should stick with Curves Adjustment Layer for consistency.Ĭreate a new Curves Adjustment Layer ( Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Curves) and drag the left slider to the right as shown below. Let’s boost the contrast of our photo a little bit. You can sign with your real name or whatever else you like (Picasso, Rembrandt, etc). Since the drawing depicts an Asian girl I thought to sign myself as Hashiro Nakamura (I have no idea if this name exists or not but it sounds appropriate for this drawing). Lower the size of the chalk brush to 1 or 2 pixels and change the opacity to 80%. What would a painting be without the famous painter signature? Probably incomplete! So let’s add a signature.Ĭreate a new layer ( Ctrl + Shift + Alt + N). Feel free to experiment on your own on this step and paint wherever you feel it will improve the final effect. I also painted something resembling a cloth or a medallion below the neck. Create a new layer ( Ctrl + Shift + Alt + N) and paint some loose thick lines over the hair. Increase the size of the chalk brush to 20px and change the opacity to 20%. You can also paint some loose lines in other areas if you think that the existing lines are too subtle. Let’s repeat step 5 – create a new layer and use the same chalk brush but at 10% Opacity and paint some loose lines over the neck and the ear. This will add some realism to the drawing effect and create some random lines and forms. Create a new layer ( Ctrl + Shift + Alt + N) and draw over the existing lines (chin, ears, lips and maybe shoulder). Change the opacity to 30% and choose black as foreground color. Select the chalk brush and lower the size to 2px. ![]() This step is easier if you have a drawing tablet (Wacom, Genius, etc) but it’s perfectly doable with a mouse. The results are pretty decent but let’s further improve the drawing effect. Adjustment Layers usually come already equipped with layer masks but if you want to add a layer mask to your layer go to Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal All. Black hides and white reveals in a layer mask. Layer masks allow us to partially or totally hide portions of the layer. This will reduce the lighten effect in the face area. Click on the layer mask and use a round soft black brush at 50% opacity to paint over the face in the layer mask. Aside from that you should also convert any layer that you intend to resize frequently into a Smart Object (right click on a layer and from the drop down menu choose “ Convert to a Smart Object”) in order to preserve the pixel information of that layer.Īs you can see the Curves Adjustment Layer has a layer mask attached to it by default. Drag the curve up as shown below in order to lighten our image.Īdjustment Layers are a non-destructive way of performing changes and applying effects to your pictures so you should use them frequently. Create a Curves Adjustment Layer ( Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Curves ). The hair is a little too black for our purposes so let’s lighten it up a bit. As you can see the filter discarded most of the pixel information and noise and kept the lines – exactly what we need for our drawing effect. Now apply a Find Edges Filter ( Filter > Stylize > Find Edges). Choose Image > Adjustments > Desaturate and you will see that the photo converts into a black and white version.ĭuplicate the background layer by pressing Ctrl + J. The first step in converting a photo into a drawing is to desaturate it. ![]()

![]() ![]() You can probably tell by the zillions of pictures that I really like this doll. In the end, I liked the dolls in this order: Clawdeen (awesome, unique hair), Frankie (I have a soft spot for Frankie), Cleo (putting a spell on me.), Draculaura (amazing wings!), but I would have been happy with any of them. The saving grace was that all of the Cleos had some minor defect or another, which gave me an excuse to abandon them. Cleo was putting some kind of Egyptian spell on me from inside her box or something, because I found her very, very hard to leave behind. In the store, Clawdeen struck me as the most unique (and there was only one of her), Draculaura didn't dazzle like I thought she would (there were ten of her), and Cleo was about twice as beautiful as her pictures. The problem was, my favorite dolls from the pictures (Frankie and Draculaura) were not the same as my favorites in real life. The tenth time I circled the Monster High section, I think the TRU employees were getting ready to call security. I won't bore you with all of the details of how I made my choice, but let's just say it took a while. I sulked back to the shelves and put them all neatly in a row and began making my agonizing decision. As I got to the front of the store, though, my head cleared and I did some quick mental math: $26.99 times four equals.ugh. At the store, I grabbed all of them greedily into my arms and lurched towards the checkout. ![]() This is a fun, elaborate group of dolls and they make an excellent (and tempting) first impression. ![]() I was lucky to find all of the dolls at Toys R Us about two weeks ago. I decided to wait and look at all of them in person and just choose my favorite. I was tempted to pre-order all of the Ghouls Rule Monster High dolls from Entertainment Earth a few months ago, but the case price was overwhelming (I think it was $180.maybe more). ![]() ![]() This includes the ability to get notified when your car leaves a geofenced area, or when an impact occurs to your vehicle. The most interesting capability bundled in with the F800 Pro is Thinkware's new Cloud service. There's even a time-lapse mode that records your parked car for a full 48 hours if necessary – a great feature if you're worried about the vehicle being vandalised while left out at night. There's built-in Wi-Fi so you can connect to your smartphone, which you can use to download any recordings for offline viewing. It comes with GPS tracking, lifetime safety camera and speed alerts, as well as safety warnings such as forward collision and lane departure awareness. The Thinkware F800 Pro is a multi-talented device. Australian emergency services' recent adoption of the What3Words standard is a testament to its effectiveness.Įasy to set up, sleekly packaged and a breeze to operate, the Nextbase 622GW is our top pick, doing everything that's required of a dash cam and doing it well, but also offers some useful additional features. The 3-inch rear touchscreen is crisp and clear, while the inclusion of What3Words is clever, as it can alert the emergency and breakdown services of an exact location, even when there is no Wi-Fi or mobile data available. You even have access to a Super Slow-Mo mode (1080p at 120fps), meaning it’s now easier than ever to see exactly what’s going on no matter the circumstance. With the ability to capture 4K/30fps video, the resulting footage is detailed, vibrant and smooth when viewed on a laptop or PC. There is also integration with Amazon Alexa for voice control and app usage. ![]() The Nextbase 622GW boasts high video quality, excellent stabilisation and the inclusion of the delightfully clever What3Words geolocation services. Here are T3’s picks of the best dash cams in Australia. Whichever dash cam you choose, you'll want to also read our guide on fitting a dash cam – it’d be an annoyance to get home and find you’ve filmed the roof of your car for 12 hours. So we went ahead and found a few more options for you. It all depends on how you plan to use the camera, what specific features might be useful to you and, more importantly, which model fits into your budget. That said, it’s never just a ‘one size fits all’ answer to which is the best dash cam in Australia. It nails the basics, with outstanding image quality and solid smartphone connectivity, while also offering features that aren’t too common in in the dash cam world. If we were taking one along for the ride, it would be the Nextbase 622GW – it’s the best dash cam you can currently buy. With one particular model emerging as top dog. Want to know which is the best dash cam available in Australia right now? We put dozens of car cameras through their paces to find the best options for you. By submitting your information you agree to the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over. Maybe a couple more years till we see one of those but there is at least one in the works as we speak.There was a problem. We're still waiting on consumer-grade 4-channel cams, right now those are available only as commercial units meant for truck fleets and such. Lots of ways to get what you want but it won't be simple or cheap. Some foliks use powerbanks or the Cellink Neo to extend their cam runtime. When running multiple cams while parked, powering will be an issue- you may only get a couple hours time from your car battery. There are also 3-channel cams like the A139 where the 'cabin cam' offers some side coverage but it's not ideal for best all-around coverage. ![]() There's a thread dedicated to side cams HERE which covers the topic well. You could add a separate 2-channel cam for side coverage or do something with a small single can which swivels like the B2W. It won't cover the sides in a normal install either. That can be done with a ball-and-socket universal radar detector type mount but would be cumbersome and rather unattractive plus it could induce some vibrations while driving. Welcome to DCT don't have the cam but I do know that it's not mounted in such a way as to make swiveling to one side easy. ![]() ![]() ![]() Several hours of work in perspective? Let Amadeus Pro do the work for you! The powerful batch processor allows you not only to convert large numbers of files between any of the supported formats, but you can also instruct Amadeus Pro to apply any sequence of sound effects. There's that whole collection of files that you wanted to convert to Mp3, but you first wanted to normalize them and make them fade in and out nicely. Furthermore, Audio Units can be applied to individual tracks in real-time without requiring any destructive editing. Each track can be split into multiple audio clips that can easily be dragged independently of each other. Each track can have its volume and panning adjusted independently from the others. Amadeus Pro is a fully featured multitrack editor. It's not a perfect audio editing tool and the full price is a bit higher than some apps with more features but for those that like a smaller, lighter app with more responsive controls, this one gets the job done very well.Įditors' note: This is a review of the trial version of Amadeus Pro for Mac 2.1.3.Īmadeus Pro is a powerful multitrack audio editor supporting a variety of formats including MP3, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, Apple Lossless, AIFF, Wave and many others. ![]() If you want a fast, easy-to-use editing tool that doesn't overload you with options or slow down whenever you press a button, then consider Amadeus Pro. The best part of Amadeus Pro, however, is the speed and flexibility of the tools there was rarely a slow down or pause in our editing and rendering occurred very fast. However, the tools that are provided will cover 90 percent of what you need to do in most basic editing situations.

Everything you'll need for basic editing is onscreen, while more advanced tools are hidden in the file menus. Therefore all of the tools are unlocked and you can start recording, creating new tracks, editing, and exporting to CD or audio file. When you install Amadeus Pro, you can start using it immediately in a trial mode that lasts for 30 days. ![]() While not as feature rich as a tool like GarageBand, it runs a lot smoother and faster and has a few tools that make it a bit easier to use, at least up front, than other comparably priced tools. Amadeus Pro is an audio editing tool for the Mac that works quickly and easily to record, split, edit, and export audio tracks. ![]() ![]() ![]() The recent seizures have put new pressure on the U.S., long the security guarantor for gulf Arab nations. Satellite images analyzed by the AP show those two vessels anchored off Bandar Abbas, Iran. Purported emails published online by Wikiran, a website that solicits leaked documents from Iran, suggest that cargo carried by the Niovi was sold to firms in China without permission. Treasury Department in August 2021 sanctioned the Oman Pride and others associated with the vessel over it being “involved in an international oil smuggling network” that supported the Quds Force, the expeditionary unit of the Revolutionary Guard that operates across the Mideast. While not carrying any cargo, data from S&P Global Market Intelligence seen by the AP showed the Niovi in July 2020 received oil from a ship known then as the Oman Pride. Meanwhile, Iran separately seized the Niovi, a Panama-flagged tanker, as it left a dry dock in Dubai bound for Fujairah on the United Arab Emirates’ eastern coast. While authorities have not acknowledged the Suez Rajan’s seizure, the vessel is now off the coast of Galveston, Texas, according to ship-tracking data analyzed by the AP. That ship carried Kuwaiti crude oil for energy firm Chevron Corp. private equity firm believed to have been carrying sanctioned Iranian crude oil off Singapore, probably prompted Tehran to recently take the Marshall Islands-flagged tanker Advantage Sweet. The suspected American seizure of the Suez Rajan, a tanker linked to a U.S. unilaterally withdrew from the nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers in 2018. The episode comes after a series of other maritime incidents involving Iran after the U.S. Iran’s mission to the United Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Iranian state media and the Revolutionary Guard did not immediately acknowledge the incident. The ship’s registered manager, Trust Bulkers of Athens, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The vessel resembled the one in the images released by the Navy. Its location also matched information about the incident given by the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations, a British military operation overseeing traffic in the region. Unlike much larger cruise ships, the sufficiently intimate size of our vessels allows a sailing experience close to shore - ensuring the most stunning and unrivalled views, as well as the convenience and pleasure of mooring in smaller, fascinating ports for inspirational guided tours as well as independent exploration.While the Navy did not identify the vessel involved, ship-tracking data from analyzed by the Associated Press showed the Marshall Islands-flagged bulk carrier Venture erratically changed course as it traveled through the strait at the time of the incident. ![]() The outstanding ship is proof that craftsmanship is very much alive: rich hardwoods, polished brass, wrought-iron fittings and marble are beautifully complemented by deep-pile carpets and sophisticated furnishings. Just as her predecessors did a century and a half ago, the Royal Clipper glides effortlessly through the waves but nowadays, the sails are unfurled using the latest technology, the hammocks have been replaced by sumptuous cabins and ‘hard tack’ by exquisite cuisine. Within this evocative tall ship awaits a luxurious world for those who seek a genuine sailing experience and wish to rediscover a maritime tradition without sacrificing creature comforts. Nothing beats the romance of being at sea on a tall ship, so join us aboard the magnificent SPV Royal Clipper, where ultimate relaxation and true pampering await you. Imagine this: gentle waves lapping rhythmically against a wind-driven hull, the scent of the salty sea spray on the refreshing breeze, taut sails towering majestically overhead, a pod of young dolphins dancing in the bow wave of the azure waters – all against a backdrop of breathtaking coastline. ![]() ![]() ![]() Each tool's dedicated installer will download and launch.

Apply it for another 3 days the skin will look completely normal. I started to mark my calendar to check the frequency, so it basically goes like, once it stopped, it took about 7 days for the symptom to reappear. So we reused Lingon again, and the symptom went away in several days. About 7 days later, his skin started to have red rash again, at a much lower scale but it does look like it's coming back. It took about 3 days for his skin to go back to a very good state, we continue to use it for another week till his skin looks completely normal so we stopped.

What's worse, it made my son's skin super sensitive, even a plain cream (any cream) will make him feel itchy. And we used steroid, the steroid kind of put the symptom at ease, but didn't make it completely go away. We saw an allergist and a dermatologist, both prescribed steroid.
