![]() due to the poor quality results that I experienced with it. Just making a long story short - I would NOT use the software if it was completely FREE. Perhaps, I should have used the trial period but thought it would be good software so I bought without trying first. I bought AfterShot Pro 2 a couple months ago thinking it would perhaps be good software for versatile processing of Canon CR2 RAW files and hoping it would allow me to do more of my processing in Raw before creating my normal 16 bit per channel TIF files for any further needed (or desired) processing in Photoshop.Īfter investing more than 40 hours with the software over a three week period, I found it basically worthless for me so I chose to exercise the 30 day allowable return for refund. So far, except for speed issues, I've had no issues such as wrote: Upoint is a thing of the past as far as Nikon is concerned. If you dig into NX-D you can find most tools. Nikon made the mistake of using the title 'Capture' in both programs and that made for an expectation that NX-D was in fact an up grade. NX-D is NOT a replacement for Capture NX2. Lastly, whenever I crop an image I get rubbish like this: Also, the convert to jpeg is horrible slow compared with NX2. There is a good assortment of tools in NX-D if you have another editing program that will do advanced editing to compliment it.Ĭorel has lost me as a had a quick play with NXD but it seems to be missing a lot that is in Capture NX2 (upoint technology, can't find double threshold, selective sharpening/noise reduction etc). If you do a comparison with NX-D you maybe surprised. But ASP was a real weak link in my workflow. I'm a long time user of Jasc/Corel PSP and still use it for almost all my editing. ![]() Now with a D7100 I'm more than happy with NX-D. For the first time I saw what my files were really like. ![]() However along came Nikons FREE Capture NX-D. Thought I was 'happy' with the results from a D7000 via Bibble/ASP. I was a long time user of Bibble then ASP. Īm I flogging a dead horse here? Any open source products which have good noise reduction and sharpening? You really can't see this unless you process the nef so I've uploaded it at. In Aftershot the sharpen and noise reduction seem to have no effect. In Capture NX 2 (which is no longer supported by Nikon) I can mask the chaser, sharpen a little and then mask the background and reduce noise (unfortunately I cannot invert the mask making things easier). I tried uploading a NEF but the forum does not seem to accept it (so this is the in camera JPEG which is already sharpened and noise reduction applied). 2 of my lenses are not in the lens corrections database. Perfectly Clear (a plugin I got with the package which online videos show good things about) seems to do no more than over expose an image and make it look really washed out. If you load a jpeg they do seem to do something.ģ. You can push the sliders all the way up and I see almost no change to the image. both the sharpening and noise reduction seem to do nothing but make the image flicker briefly. For example, a corrupt or unreadable file might have caused the application to shut down."Ģ. AfterShot 2 keeps crashing - e.g., it crashes and when you restart it says "A problem occurred the last time AfterShot 2 was running. This is AfterShot 2 64 bit edition and the images I played with were nefs from a D7100.ġ. I'm so disappointed with it I'm starting to wonder if I'm doing something wrong. I realise AfterShot 2 is not AfterShot Pro but I've been really disappointed with it. I'd heard good things about Aftershot (and watched a number of youtube videoas) and PSP so thought I'd give it a try. ![]() I saw a good deal on Corel PaintShop Pro X7 Ultimate a few days ago and it came with a lot of extras for not a lot of money. Before going inside there is an inhibitor crate you can grab from inside a green GRE container building. Head around to the front of the building. Deal with them first, then you can assign the substation (who you assign this to doesn’t have any story implications). ![]() Eliminate the RenegadesĪ few Renegades will enter the room before you can interact with the panel. You can then interact with the control panel. Take the elevator upstairs to the control room, where you can grab a tape sitting on the control panel. You can then jump back upstairs and pull the cable from panel C, then take it to the center of the main room and plug it into panel 1 to finish powering the panels. You can then leave the room, turn to the right, and jump from the items on the floor to some pipes on the wall, allowing you to get back to the stairs. In the vent don’t take the second left, continue all the way to the end and you will drop into a room with some loot. Once you plug that panel in it will electrify the water on the floor, so to get back you want to turn to the right and enter the air vent on the wall, which you can reach by jumping across the items sitting in the water. Grab the nearby cable from panel 2, then drop down into the basement area where you can find the receiving panel 2. Then use the code from the memento (314) to open the safe, allowing you to pick up an inhibitor. In this room you can open the container on the floor to find a memento. You can then go outside on the same floor and open door C. Open the nearby locked door, then grab the cable and go across the room to where you can find the receiving panel C. Go to the northwest corner where there is a hole in the floor with a yellow pipe leading into it that you can drop down one level. Head inside and go up to the second floor. ![]() If you’ve not done any of the other substations this will be your first time seeing the panels with multiple possible sockets they can power, which is normally used to open up more doors in the substation.įor this first panel you need to use it to open the first door, then switch it to the next panel and open the second door (the doors stay open when you remove their power after opening them). You now need to go inside and get the substation running again. In the yard outside the area there will be a bunch of Renegades, deal with them all. Rowe says that there is something going on with the substation and asks you to go over and see what’s up before coming to the tower. Note that the following objectives related to the substation only occur if you hadn’t assigned the substation prior to starting this story quest. Once this story quest starts you won’t actually be able to assign the substation until you are prompted to go there now, even if you try to do so before going to the Fish Eye. You can now head to VNC Tower to meet up with Rowe.įind out what is going on at the electrical substation There is also a tape on the dresser that you can grab (you can grab this later on if you don’t come in here now, this is just the first opportunity you have to grab it during the story because you can walk around in Frank’s room). You can go interact with him and press him for whatever amount of information you want. This is entirely optional, and whether or not you go talk to him doesn’t change anything.įrank is in his room sitting on the ground. She suggests going and talking to Frank first before heading to the tower. Head over to the Fish Eye and speak with the PK standing by the stairs to go up and speak with Jack and Juan about the plan.Īfter the conversation occurs they all leave, then you need to head outside and speak to Lawan on the upper area of the Fish Eye.

I choose the "Symmetrical" style (and added the "OldFilm02" effect) then proceed to publish the FlipBook as a SWF file in step 3.įYI, the "Symmetrical" style looks like a three-ring binder. Instead, clicking on the start menu item "How to use Ncesoft Flip Book Maker" takes you to some online tutorials and a single FAQ with generic sample code on how to get a flip book working on a web page you might own.Īnyway, I noticed the dearth of help when trying to resolve a small issue when I used it: After selecting and loading in some pictures I proceeded to step 2, select a Style. Thank you, Ncesoft and GAOTD! Save | CancelĪs Mike (#67) mentioned, at present there is not any in-app or online help, in spite of the online page suggesting to "Consult the Help Document" otherwise, the list on their Support page that appears to be links doesn't work.Īnd yes, as Mike said, it leads you on a pretty straight-forward step-by-step process on how to create your desired output item (Flash SWF file, etc.). With all that said, the overall impression is very good. Moving the border handle between the Style/Effect and Preview pans does not help. Neither I see the Advanced/Customize buttons in the bottom nor I can minimize the main window to the taskbar. turn pages back only by clicking on the handles below the preview. As a result, on my 1152x864 display the right and bottom edges are not seen at all, so I can e.g. Nevertheless, I also found a flaw: the main window and Style/Effect/Preview pans cannot be either moved or resized within the main window. This way the legal customers would not have to pay twice for the same product if they are not interested in the added features but only want the existing ones working as expected. I cannot be very happy with this workaround as I am visually impared a bit and have to use large icons and texts on the screen.Ī side note: I believe the developer would better publish a pure bug-fix version free for those who hold a legally registered product, something like "Ncesoft Flip Book Maker 2.3.1.001", and the new advanced non-free version "Ncesoft Flip Book Maker 2.3.2" with all the new features and known bugs fixed.

At this time Che was still engaged with the company that had bought the last company they founded to ensure a successful integration and to maximize the earnout attached to the acquisition. Because of this he started researching reclining workstations to solve his own painful situation. He was unable to sit in a traditional desk chair for even ten minutes. John Speicher was rear-ended on the freeway and his back was badly injured. The founding team has worked together for decades. Why should I invest in this company? What’s Altwork’s story? However, we recognize there will always be a small number of people that really need a specialized solution. Altwork is proud that we have been able to help a huge number of people continue to work with their computers or return to work with our work stations. These tend to be customized and expensive solutions. The second are niche ergonomic solutions for the injury driven user. They tend to be physically large and very aggressively styled. ![]() The first is the “scorpion style” products that tend to receive a lot of press but don't fit in the style of either a home or an office. There are two other small categories worth mentioning. These companies sell the traditional computer-centric work stations where the computer is placed on the desk and the human rolls their chair to it and bends their body to match the position of the machine. ![]() These companies and others in the “contract grade office furniture” market have historically sold around $25B per year in the US, EU, and Japan. Our competitors are typically considered the high end office furniture manufactures like Herman Miller Knoll, Steelcase, etc. Who are your competitors, and how exactly do they differ from you? Killingsworth's response was that he has always approached games the same way he approaches learning musical instruments. Every activity of man is amazingly complicated, not only that of the genius: but none is a 'miracle.'" -Friedrich Nietzsche, as quoted in Robert Greene's MasteryGreene characterizes his approach as "more democratic" than Gladwell's. Genius too does nothing but learn first how to lay bricks then how to build, and continually seek for material and continually form itself around it. Thus our vanity, our self-love, promotes the cult of the genius: for only if we think of him as being very remote from us, as a miraculum, does he not aggrieve us. "Because we think well of ourselves, but nonetheless suppose ourselves capable of producing a painting like one of Raphael's or a dramatic scene like one of Shakespeare's, we convince ourselves that the capacity to do so is quite extraordinarily marvelous, a wholly uncommon accident, or, if we are still religiously inclined, a mercy from on high. ![]() The new narrative is that people with incredible skills made it to where they are through a combination of hard work and convenient circumstances. Books like Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers have begun dissecting those people previously held up as near-mythical giants – the Albert Einsteins and Bill Gates of the world – and making the case that while they may be something special, they weren't necessarily born that way. With his argument, Greene is continuing a narrative that has been picking up steam for a long time in Western culture. Greene uses these narratives to build up one very important argument: Geniuses, as we understand them, are not real. The story of the famous saxophonist John Coltrane is used to illustrate the importance of apprenticeships and practice a condensed biography of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart leads into admonishments from Greene about the importance of rebelling against authority and maintaining a childlike sense of wonder.Īs with all of Greene's books, readers will pick up some lessons worth considering while learning some fun bits of history along the way. Greene, in his usual style, introduces every chapter with a story pulled from the life of one of these figures, then analyzes the story and extracts valuable lessons from them. In the new book, Greene develops a theory about how mastery is formed by looking at the lives of people like Frank Lloyd Wright, Leonardo da Vinci and Henry Ford – people who became true masters of their respective fields of study. I called Robert Greene, best-selling author of The 48 Laws of Power and The Art of Seduction, to talk about his new book, Mastery. Thanks to it's not-gramatically-possible name, it is not possible to translate its name accurately, most of the times in unofficial translations, it is used 'the best' expression next to it.Intrigued by the development in my reaction speed, I began to wonder why my abilities were improving so rapidly.Surprisingly, this stage hasn't not even the half traps the 'final level' theming should have, however, the harsh spin that happens here combined with the speed, makes those traps a lot harder.The difficulty hardestestest isn't gramatically existent, however, it can be understood as 'hardest of the hardest of the hardest'. ![]() The kanji 超 from 超六角一番 can not only mean hyper, but also ultra and super. ![]() It is listed as hardestestest difficulty.

Many of the health policies and personal dietary choices we made related to fat (and saturated fat in particular) were based on very flawed and biased evidence. Smith explains why studies on diet and nutrition are so unreliable, borrowing insights from Nina Teicholz's fantastic book The Big Fat Surprise to unpick the low-fat and Mediterranean Diet crazes. In this sentence, he perfectly encapsulates why we have been led astray on food: "In short, bold policies have been based on fragile science, and the long term results may be terrible." Richard Smith, the former editor of the journal, combed through five of the most popular nutrition science books of the last several years.

To trust the science of nutrition, we need high standards for rigorous, transparent, and reproducible research. ![]() In the end, the issues that PREDIMED raises are all about trust. Instead, what really matters in science is the data, the methods for producing it, and the logic for connecting it to conclusions. “Science does not look into the souls of people to determine who is a truth teller,” they write. Cynthia Kroeger and colleagues suggest that renewed focus on core principles of science is key. Of course, it’s hardly the only field facing scrutiny on this issue.Ī distinguished list of nutrition scientists recently published a roadmap for this task. We need to get serious about increased scientific rigor in nutrition research. A Constructive Way ForwardĬlearly, many people in the field agree. That a tool is often misused is usually taken as a sign of a need for reform, not abolition. However, that does not mean it cannot not be appropriately used when needed, executed well, and reported well in principle. I think it is often overused, poorly executed, and poorly conveyed. I do not share the view that nutrition epidemiology is beyond repair. Writing in Vox, Julia Belluz quotes Ioannidis dismissing nutrition epidemiology as “a field that’s grown old and died.” He says, “At some point, we need to bury the corpse and move on to a more open, transparent sharing and controlled experimental way.”ĭean and Professor David Allison offers us a more measured assessment: PREDIMED may provide useful lessons on how to reassess and correct large volumes of published literature and on what methodological safeguards are needed for pivotal multicenter trials. Multiple contradictions between data reported across PREDIMED publications suggest a more generic problem with the trial’s quality. Republication may not solve multiple problems that remain, including the inappropriateness of stopping early given the revised results and the effects on over 200 secondary publications. Thus, Agarwal and Ioannidis see a huge task ahead: On top of that, thousands of other papers have cited the study and its secondary publications. For one thing, the PREDIMED study spawned a mind-boggling array of 267 secondary publications before the retraction. It doesn’t resolve the issues of trust and transparency that this incident raises. That’s because simply retracting and republishing a single paper isn’t enough. Just last week in the BMJ, Arnav Agarwal and John Ioannidis write that we still have a mess on our hands. Even now, there’s still a whole lot of shakin going on. With that action, it shook the world of nutrition science. Last year, the New England Journal of Medicine retracted and then published a revised analysis of the landmark PREDIMED study. PREDIMED and the “Corpse” of Nutrition Science |
