Couple the Bas Relief filter with Photoshop’s own Bevel and Emboss filters, and the possibilities are unlimited. Once you understand the technical functions of some of the features, such as Brightness and Contrast and remember the effect they produce, your mind is set free to concentrate on how to creatively combine the tools. It’s much like choosing the right brush and colors to paint with.

The easiest way to size your solar electric system is to have a vendor come to your home and perform a site analysis and load assessment. Solar electric vendors have the experience and tools necessary to gather the data needed for the calculations. Most vendors will supply predesigned package systems that range from one kilowatt (kW) for a small energy-efficient home up to 2.5 kW for a large home.

Imagine you’re an oil painter. You fill your entire canvas with a wonderful landscape. But when you’re done you decide there’s something missing: your favorite tree was off to the right somewhere and you didn’t have room to fit it into your painting. You decide to start over with a larger canvas.

Detonation cells are a characteristic feature of detonation shots, and their size is a very valuable experiment parameter to know. To reduce the uncertainty in this variable that is used to being related to manual measuring, a computational processing has been developed, based on Fourier analysis of digital pictures. The objective is to highlight the relevant frequencies present in the cellular pattern, and thus get the most encountered spatial wave length, which would turn out to be the cell size.

We’re importing a vector-based image (the lettering),which was designed in an illustration program (i.e.Illustrator, Freehand,Corel or some sign application),into Photoshop® where it will be rasterized into a bitmap image.We’re then beveling that image,adding some simple airbrushed “hot spots”and then exporting it out of Photoshop as an RGB JPG file.Back in our original illustration program,we’ll import that JPG back into our file,place it over the lettering and paste it inside of it.The process of beveling JMV is the same used for Landscaping. For the sake of space,we’ll illustrate how the JMV was done.

1. Here’s the original vector-based logo we created for John.
Lightning uses a simple chrome-airbrush fade,done with gradient fills pasted into the lettering. Signs was made prismatic by hand in Freehand.Then we added some gradients to the different sides of the letter.We then saved the file as an MS-DOS PC .EPS file,and added an outline path,which Roland’s ColorChoice RIP recognizes as the cutline.John was then able to scale and print this logo at any size he needed.What we needed for Photoshop was a CMYK .EPS file,so we saved it as that and then imported into Photoshop and rasterized it.

When placing an image on a web page your image should be only as large as it needs to be to display correctly on the page. If your image is too large (800 x 600) and you resize it within the Dreamweaver application by dragging its corners, the file size is not reduced, just the visual size of the image. If you reduce the image size in Photoshop to display the correct size on the web page, you can save file space/size and allow the viewer to view the image much quicker. (For example: An image sized at 800 x 600 could be a 2MB file. If that file is reduced to the size needed on the page, e.g., 360 x 413, the file size can be brought down to 436k. This file is easier for someone to view on a web page through their network connection and saves space on the server.

If possible, it is best to start out with an original uncompressed image file that has been prepped and is at minimum no less than 27 inches or 1920 pixels after cropping, adjusting contrast, adjusting color, sharpen, etc. You will be adjusting these files to meet the CaFÉ™ image specification size by following the steps below. Jpeg files work fine if a raw or tiff is not available. CaFÉ image upload requirements: 1920W x 1920H pixels, saved as JPEG & less than 1.8MB.

Image Size
Viewing Image on the monitor
In the View Menu, picking View Actual Pixels will size the image to 100% and one image pixel equals one monitor pixel. Always view at 100% when evaluating an image such as when Sharpening the Image using the Sharpen Filters. Zoom in by pressing Ctrl + the + key and Zoom out by pressing the Ctrl plus the – key. Shift + Control + the O key will fit the image to the screen.

ONE of the great improvements to AC9 is the rich text in the working environment. On the principle that anything that appears in the floor plan must also work in GDL, there is a way to author Rich Text in GDL – but it’s very hard work! It is not simply a matter of using something easy like BB-Code.
