I've uploaded the image here if anyone wants to try for themselves: It is not optimal having to soft proof images towards sRGB every time. This tells me that there is "some heavy" black point compensation going on in Lightroom - which is not optimal. ![]() If I turn of black point compensation in Photoshop (and restarts) it actually looks the same as in Windows. If I soft proof the image with profile set to sRGB - it displays the same way (dark) as in Windows applications. If I reimport the exported JPEG into Lightroom - it displays "correctly" again (same brightness) as the original. The application provides you with daily updated lists to keep track of your collections: tick the items you have, COLEKA identifies those you are missing and helps you complete your series (Lego, Playmobil, Pokemon. The color is correct - it is just the shadows becoming darker. This is the case even if I open the image in a color managed Windows application e.g. If I export an image from LR to JPEG+sRBG and view this in another Windows application, some of the details in the shadows disappear - the shadows look a bit darker. Whereas Lightroom is focused on organizing and processing photos, Photoshop ventures into image manipulation, creation, and enhancement. It is properly HW-calibrated and the correct profile is set in Windows. ![]() It displays information like type, color space, EXIF, MakerNote, IPTC, GPS, and more.I have a strange issue - or it might be that this is normal behaviour. At the right, you’ll see the Inspector panel. And the Strip view mode shows a tiny strip of thumbnails on the top with a viewer area. The List view mode shows the image thumbnail, detailed information, and metadata. The Map layout mode uses Apple Maps with GPS data to provide location information. The viewer displays the image with different view (Icon, Strip, List, Map), sort (name, date, color label, tags), and filter (name, extension, tags) options. The left sidebar displays your folders (including Smart Folders), photo libraries, devices, and mounted volumes. In the case of images you want to enlarge, look at different ways to upscale images without losing quality. With the built-in support of camera models and multi-threading, it can progressively scale high-resolution images. It supports TIFF, HEIF, TGA, WebP, GIF, and many non-standard, old, and RAW image formats. On a supported camera, the info page can reveal the serial number, shutter count, and other specifications.

Or you can wait to activate it after you upgrade to Game Pass Ultimate-you’ll be able to redeem it on a pro-rated basis to extend your Ultimate subscription. OOPS: Did you have three 1-year XBL Gold codes and accidentally make it impossible to redeem that final code? You can wait a month or two, then redeem code #3 and convert. If you are using a patchwork of different codes, triple-check your math to be sure you know how many times (if any) you need to agree to recurring billing. Again, as your final reminder, if you have three 1-year subscription codes for Xbox Live, do not agreeto any freebie bonus months (in exchange for turning on recurring billing) in order to redeem your final code. Then apply your 1 month of Game Pass Ultimate to convert everything to 36 months of Ultimate.Īctivate your Xbox Live Gold codes. (YMMV, Microsoft has become inconsistent with this bonus offer.) If you get zero bonus months, add another month of Xbox Live Gold to the account. You can then angle for at least one bonus month by choosing recurring billing when you redeem each Xbox Live Gold code. (You already have 16 months of Xbox Live Gold and 3 months of Xbox Game Pass active on your account.) As a Costco member who also has a surplus of Microsoft Reward points, you buy one 12-month code and then use the points to obtain a single 3-month code.

The company processed about 1,000 pounds of ore daily while in operation, which was dumped on the site. To this day, the levels of radiation ingested by the victims is sufficient to be detected at their graves using a Geiger counter. von Sochocky, the inventor of the radium-based paint, died of aplastic anemia resulting from his exposure to the radioactive material, "a victim of his own invention." The company, it was alleged, were taking too much time to settle the litigation on purpose, leading to further deaths. The case was settled out of court in 1928, but not before a substantial number of the litigants were seriously ill or had died from bone cancer and other radiation related illnesses. Illness and death resulting from ingestion of radium paint and the subsequent legal action taken by the women, forced closure of the company in 1927. The chief medical examiner of Essex County, New Jersey published a report in 1925 that identified the radioactive material the women had ingested as the cause of their bone disease and aplastic anemia, and ultimate death. Even though several previous workers died and health risks associated with radium were allegedly known, this company continued dial painting operations until 1940, when the operation was moved to New York City. This was the reason cited by the company for its closure.Īround 1920, a similar dial painting business, a division of the Standard Chemical Company based in Chicago, known as the Radium Dial Company opened in Chicago, but soon moved its dial painting operation to Peru, Illinois to be closer to its major customer, the Westclox Clock Company. ![]() The unfavourable publicity generated by reports of illness and death amongst previous dial painters resulted in a drop in potential employees. This was the reason for litigation against US Radium by the so-called Radium girls. Radium jaw (Radium necrosis), was allegedly known and initially denied by US Radium's management and scientists working for the company. The ingestion of the paint by the women, brought about while licking the brushes, resulted in a condition called radium jaw, a painful swelling and porosity of the upper and lower jaws, and ultimately led to the deaths of many of these women. Unbeknownst to the women, the product was highly radioactive and therefore, carcinogenic. Workers had been instructed to "point" the brushes by licking them with their mouths. The luminescent paint used by the women, a product called Undark, had radium as its main ingredient. By 1926 carnotite ore processing ceased and the company called itself the Safety Light Corporation, a reference to glow-in-the-dark safety signs, dials and other luminous paint products the company produced until 1927. The company then moved to Orange in 1917 and four years later opened its doors as United States Radium Corporation in 1921. The company produced uranium from carnotite ore and eventually moved into the business of producing radioluminescent paint. Willis, and was originally called the Radium Luminous Material Corporation. Today, 90% of all watches have luminous hands or dial.The company was founded in 1914 in Newark, New Jersey by Dr. By 1970 it was estimated that there were more than ten million clocks and watches in circulation with radium-lit dials. Not only watches and other instruments but also fishing bait, crucifixes, light switches and countless other applications. Numerous novelties flooded the market in the years after the world war. By the end of World War I, the United States was producing over four million watches with illuminated dials for military use. The army was the first and also the largest customer of radium-lit products. The name was later changed to 'United States Radium Corporation'. It was marketed in 1917 by the Radium Luminous Material Corporation. This paint named ‘Undark’ was a mixture of zinc sulfide and various forms of radioactive radium. Dr Sabin Arnold Von Sochocky developed the first commercial luminous paint. William Hammer was the first person to combine radium, zinc sulfide and glue into a luminous paint. Pierre and Marie Curie discovered radium in 1898 and Marie also discovered that radioactive radiation could make materials glow. The luminous property of the element radium was already known long before it was used in clocks, watches and other instruments. ![]()
Who doesn’t love a good smoothie as a snack? Obviously, using ice cream for your smoothie is not the best move. With that, look for a protein bar with high-quality protein, no added sugar, low carbs, a nice helping of fiber, and other beneficial nutrients that can nourish your mind and body all at once (aka, a MOSH bar). These aren’t necessarily bad for you, but they typically don’t offer much besides a decent protein boost to your diet. ![]() On top of that, there are some protein bars out there with better ingredients and plenty of protein, but then not much else. A little too much added sugar, ingredients like marshmallow puff or sweetened cereal, and high fructose corn syrup to hold it all together aren’t quite the qualifying ingredients to make this list. ![]() You should be selective when choosing a protein bar because, unfortunately, there are plenty of candy bars out there merely disguised as protein bars. That’s where eating a protein bar can come in to save the day. Many of the foods on this list will require some time to prepare or cook them, and there will be days when you just don’t have the time to dedicate to prep. Well, the good news is that’s not true at all! To prove it, we’ve compiled a list of 16 different snacks that are both delicious and good for you. Most people think that all healthy snack ideas will likely be hard to stomach. But who wants to eat bland, boring snacks all the time? One of the most common misconceptions about eating healthy is that it means giving up flavor. It’s never too late to get serious about your health. ![]() These complications are why it’s so hard to build a filter that makes a photo look exactly like a good illustration by a human. Just remember that a human illustrator makes a lot of selective decisions about what to include and exclude and what to emphasize in a scene, and these are things a camera never does. If you want the result to have the same empty background as the drawing, you will probably need to mask off the subject from the background first (using Select Subject, Select and Mask, etc.), and you will probably want to pre-process the example drawing to remove anything you don’t want considered as source content. ![]() If the drawing has plants and an empty background, but the photo has a different background with no plants, the Neural Filters will try to transfer attributes that may not work well in the photo. And it will require even more manual intervention if the lighting of the original photo is different than the artistic lighting of the drawing.Īnother thing that will require manual intervention is that you probably want some, but not all, of the aspects of the sample drawing. ![]() What is shown is not perfect or finished but only a starting point to get exactly what you want is going to require a fair amount of filter tweaking and additional manual retouching and compositing. Style Transfer lets you load an image to use as a style example to apply to the image, and Color Transfer is similar but concentrates on the colors. It works best with urban cityscapes and architecture images and provides a fully layered final composition with 15 color presets and loads of customization. Have you looked into the Neural Filters? Below is an quick example of combining the Style Transfer and Color Transfer filters. The Urban Sketch Photoshop cartoon effect transforms your city photos into realistic hand-painted watercolor sketch artworks in a matter of minutes.
