![]() ![]() The latest version is quite a bit better than previous releases, but there’s still almost no introductory information available. GIMP shares the unfortunate trait found in too much of the free open-source software out there: a very unpolished user experience. Winner: GIMP, which has a huge range of image creation and editing tools above and beyond the world of digital painting. Paint Tool SAI’s adjustments are limited to Hue/Saturation and Brightness/Contrast. ![]() GIMP is intended as a general-purpose image editor, which means that it contains a huge range of tools for manipulating existing images (far too many to list here). Just a few of the additional tools found in GIMP 2.10 Both GIMP and Paint Tool SAI offer support for most of the popular drawing tablets that are currently available, although you’ll have to test yours to make sure that there are no issues. Most digital artists prefer to work with a tablet and stylus, which provides far better control than a standard computer mouse. Paint Tool SAI has near-perfect responsiveness at large sizes, although it doesn’t offer as many brushes by default. GIMP offers a huge range of flexible brushes and options but can lag severely when working on high-resolution images. GIMP also allows you to use multiple layers, but it doesn’t have vector support beyond very basic paths, which I find to be quite frustrating in practical usage. Paint Tool SAI also offers specialized Linework layers that use simple editable vector lines to help sketch/map your painting project. This may not be an issue if you only want to paint for the screen, but if you’re ever planning to print your artwork, you’ll need to work in a high-resolution format. It’s hard to paint when your brush stroke appears 3-4 seconds behind your cursor position, which sort of defeats the purpose of having such fancy brushes.īy comparison, Paint Tool SAI’s brushes only started to lag slightly when I pushed them to their very highest quality and complexity. However, even during my quick testing, the MyPaint brushes in GIMP lagged quite badly when used in a high-resolution image, even on my extremely powerful desktop computer. (MyPaint is also a free, open-source digital painting app in its own right, but that’s a topic for another post.) J ust a few of the presets available in GIMP using the MyPaint brush There are only 14 presets and a few different brush tip shapes to choose from, but this is more than enough to get started.Įach brushstroke interacts with the existing digital paint on your canvas, allowing for very natural blending that mimics the feel of working with physical media. Paint Tool SAI and GIMP don’t exactly overlap, so some of these categories will be a little bit different than usual because I’m guessing you’re most curious about how they compare to digital painting tools.Īt first glance, Paint Tool SAI’s brushes are fairly simple. When comparing software, it’s important to outline the criteria that I’m using in the review. All in all, the software is amazing and lets you edit photographs and images with considerable ease.GIMP is a much better all-around image editor that includes some decent painting options, while Paint Tool SAI is an excellent digital painting app with almost no other image editing capabilities at all. Though the interface might seem a bit too plain, it is easy to use nonetheless. You’d be happy to know that the user interface of the PaintTool SAI is ridiculously simple and it’s perfect for learners or first time paint tool users. Both these features can considerably aid in adding that particular ‘depth’ you want in a drawing. You can also use the software’s rotate, flip, alter, zoom, color, saturation and hue settings with minimal effort.Īlong with the basic features mentioned above, the painting tool also comes with a couple of additional features which you might not find in other programs, for example the PaintTool SAI provides users layering options as well as different canvases to work on. Anybody can use this program to edit images and photographs as well as paint something interesting. But the difference is in the efficiency and user-friendliness of the program. The paint utility packs some basic but wonderful sets of features like air brushes, paint brushes, pencils, watercolors, etc. The PaintTool SAI is designed for the PC, specifically for Windows, and allows users to unlock their creative abilities.

![]() The most unique feature this time around is the ability to play as two assassins, twin siblings Jacob and Evie Frye, the latter being the second playable female assassin (not counting the quickly forgotten spin-off Assassin’s Creed Chronicles), though this decision was made long before the foot-in-mouth comments regarding the cost of animating female characters that only sullied Unity’s reception even further. That game is now officially known as Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, featuring yet another historical time period and another assassin tasked with taking down the Templars and recovering yet another Piece of Eden, the magical McGuffin that is more plentiful than Dragonballs at this point. ![]() The criticisms of its poor technical performance and otherwise unremarkable singleplayer campaign did not fall upon deaf ears at Ubisoft, but the multi-studio publisher was already working on its next yearly follow-up with the series, codenamed Victory. Yet Ubisoft continues to stubbornly dish out a new Assassin’s Creed every year, sometimes two at a time, and the stagnation could already be felt from last year due to the negative reception of their new console generation debut, Assassin’s Creed Unity. Even the mightiest of critically acclaimed juggernauts know when to take a break here and there, or at least change the formula up to keep the series from feeling repetitive and stale. No videogame franchise can keep its momentum going forever, a truth that is becoming more evident lately when even the mighty Call of Duty is starting to straggle in sales after countless yearly entries. Thankfully, in 2020, those conditions haven’t repeated themselves, but it meant that Ryan was unable to make his usual Strange Bru, Local Rocket or North Shore, not wishing to dilute the character or integrity of his Highland-grown ciders. Overnight temperatures in the main orchards Ryan uses dipped below zero on the 7th, 12th and 29th of May, devastating the fruit before it had even really begun to grow from blossom. In 2019, the cruel hand of climate struck Ryan a somewhat devastating blow. *Pause, whilst worms are returned to can and Adam is slapped hard on the wrist by editors.* (As a side note, isn’t it a shame that whisky isn’t made from a crop and is thus unable to similarly reflect its growing environment … ?) (Maybe The Proclaimers’ song is secretly about doing a cheeky cider run?) Apples, being a crop and therefore subject to the vicissitudes of environment in general and terroir in particular, present significantly differently across this distance and face significantly different growing and ripening challenges. Lack of longstanding cider culture notwithstanding, it sits some 499 miles from Hereford (as Google Maps tracks it), almost all of those miles due north. Inverness, you may be thinking, is something of an odd place to find a cidermaker. Fortunately, for those of us not lucky enough to live within local delivery limits, his wares are now available through Scrattings and Crafty Nectar. I was thrilled when Ryan opened up online sales on the Caledonian website, and bitterly disappointed when he was so badly let down by delivery companies damaging 30% of his parcels that he has had to shut off couriered parcels again. I’ve since tried several more and, but for one bottle that seemed to have a little TCA taint, I’ve loved every one. I came across them for the first time last year, and was so won over by his Strange Bru that it made its way into my “Essential Ciders” case, published on Malt back in January. And, to my taste, he makes some of the best, most complex and most interesting cider you’ll find in the British Isles. Caledonian is his bit on the side a pet project labour-of-love he runs out of a shed. But had I stayed in Inverness for just a year or two longer I would have had Caledonian Cider.Ĭaledonian Cider was founded and is run by Ryan Sealey, a cidermaker who moved up to Conon Bridge to make whisky for Glen Ord. Several places didn’t stock cider at all I didn’t even come across Scotland’s pretty mealy-mouthed Thistly Cross until I made the move to Dundee. I can’t even remember what I drank in pubs those days, so I dare say it was Strongbow. ![]() One thing that I don’t miss is the cider. The summers of my childhood were spent on Arran, but when, in pre-locked-down times, I looked out of the office window, it would be to the Great Glen, the Black Isle and Inverness that my mind’s eye scampered. They were a time for delving into flights of single malt at Fiddlers in Drumnadrochit, for hours rummaging in the book dust and fire-fumes at Leakey’s, for hauling the innards inexpertly from mallards my manager’s brother had shot, for long evenings of Australian wine with Australian housemates, for morning dashes east to Speyside or north to the distilleries of Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross. My Inverness months were a time of days off wandering the hills around Loch Ness, getting lost on purpose and re-finding my way in the dark. ![]() My fifty minute trudge to work overlooked firth and mountain and pine forest and the overlooked, graffitied, half-embarrassed grave of King Duncan, who Shakespeare had assassinated as an old man by midnight, but who was really cut down as a young man in sunlit battle. I lived in a guest house ten minutes’ walk from Culloden, one of the best-preserved and most tangibly poignant battlefields in Britain. And although I only spent a bare seven months there before shuffling down the A9 for a grim-fated further half-year in Dundee, Inverness remains the only place in the world, beside the house in which I grew up, which thumps in my soul with the ineffable knell of homecoming when I return. Apart from university which is, at best, a dress rehearsal, it was my first real-life move away from the corner of Liverpool’s nature reserve in which I had lived all my life. Once upon a time I lived in Inverness, and I adored it. ![]() Lei Shen, now calling himself the "Thunder King", declared the Thundering Mountain to be his seat of power and atop its summit he built a majestic and forbidden city. And from that hateful act, he gained power over wind and storm. It is said that he tore out the very heart of the mogu god. What he found was illuminating: the titanic watcher Ra-den, who stood guard over a powerful titan device, the Engine of Nalak'sha. Only his most loyal of followers accompanied him where no mogu had dared tread: into the very heart of the Thundering Mountain, the sacred home of the one the mogu had called their master. Once the young Lei Shen had come of age and commanded his own legions, he announced his intent to awaken the gods. ![]() Reputation with this faction can be earned only within the Throne of Thunder raid dungeon. Join the Shado-Pan Assault in their singular drive to see Lei Shen, The Thunder King defeated once and for all, and gain access to impressive Valor reward items. The instance opened on 5 March 2013, Heroic mode and "Last Stand of the Zandalari" LFR opened on 12 March, "Forgotten Depths" LFR opened on 19 March, "Halls of Flesh-Shaping" LFR opened on 2 April, and "Pinnacle of Storms" LFR opened on 16 April. The Raid Finder version of the Throne of Thunder is divided into 4 different wings, and each wing opened a week (or two) after the previous. The Throne of Thunder is a sprawling citadel housing 12 raid encounters, and players that defeat Emperor Lei Shen in Heroic mode can earn the opportunity to face an additional 13th foe, Ra-den. It falls to the heroes of the Alliance and the Horde to stop the newly resurrected tyrant and his Zandalari allies in the Throne of Thunder. Emperor Lei Shen, the Thunder King, has returned to wreak his vengeance on Pandaria. Throne of Thunder is the Patch 5.2 raid instance. ![]() It's the best option for DVD 5 to store videos less than 2.5 hours and DVD 9 to save files less than 4 hours. It can burn about 1.25h for DVD 5 and 2.2h for DVD 9, and preserves the highest video quality. It allows burning up to 5.5h to 4.7GB DVD and nearly 10h to 8.5GB DVD. Fit to disc: The bitrate fluctuates between 1.8M-8M according to the size of your video.And it provides three modes to smartly adjust the video bitrate: Its audio bitrate is set as AC3 320 kilobits per second by default. How to Burn Multiple Movies on One DVD with a Menu?Ĭisdem DVD Burner is such an effective DVD authoring program to burn multiple movies to DVD. PAL DVD players support both AC3 and MP2ĭue to different coding principles, MP2 at 320kbps or higher may be better than AC-3.Īll in all, a standard authoring program should specify codecs as MPEG2 at 5MB and AC3 at 320kbps in DVD encoding settings. NTSC DVD players support AC3, but not MP2.Higher efficiency and can provide the same or similar quality as 192kbps AC-3 at a lower bitrate.Maintain high quality and compatibility.Encode 100% DVD compliant 5.1 Channel audio files.Most commercial DVDs have AC3 as an audio stream choice, because: So, what’s the best audio codec to burn large video files to DVD? To be compatible with any player, the MPEG2 codec is still more popular than H.264 codec for the DVD authoring program. All burned movies will be fixed at 720x576 (PAL) or 720x480 (NTSC) in resolution to meet the DVD specification. The bitrate of standard DVD burning software used to burn multiple videos to DVD is usually set to 5MB. Otherwise, the DVD quality will be very poor with a significant amount of artifacts (especially the movies that have many explosions, action scenes).Īlthough a high bitrate delivers high quality, the maximum bit rate of an encoded MPEG-2 movie should not exceed 8MB in order to leave enough headroom for audio and sub-pictures. Then, you might ask, "why not reduce the bitrate so that I can burn multiple movies to DVD-5".ĭVD encoded with MPEG2 can't set the bitrate under 3000kbps. 3200 kbps is 3 hours in DVD-5 and 5 hours in DVD-9. 1000 kbps helps you store approximately 9 hours in DVD-5 and 15 hours in DVD-9. The lower the bitrate is, the more movies a DVD can hold. The video bitrate determines the capacity of the DVD. 3) Why Not Increase the DVD Storage Capacity (Minutes)? But if you just want to burn multiple shorter TV shows and episodes to DVD, DVD-5 is a great choice. To burn multiple movies on one DVD, DVD-9 is more suitable. That's to say, DVD-5 may merely hold one movie, whereas DVD-9 can hold 3~5 movies. Movies are almost always 80-120 minutes long. ![]() And a Dual Layer 8.5GB blank DVD can hold video up to 240 minutes. As shown in the table above, a standard 4.7GB Single Layer recordable DVD is able to store around 120-133 minutes of video. It depends on the movies' length, not size. ![]() Once you start using iStudiez Pro Legendary Planner you will immediately want nothing else to be the tool to arrange all your schedule and homework once and for good.

And lo and behold, even after all these years, there’s still never a dull moment. Now, looking back, experiences like that have gifted me with knowledge and the experience to share in dialogue with colleagues and perhaps inspire new students in our field both at home and internationally. Encountering a B positive bleeder in surgery while on the night shift or working solo on Christmas Day with only Shigella group D cultures to keep me company were a few of those times I wasn’t so sure I had made a good decision. In retrospect, what an excellent choice I made all those years ago. ![]() Although the chapters are dated, the dates merely represent. These included: sitting in on a panel discussion around the Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) training programs exchanging thoughts and challenges faced by couriers who serve very remote Native American communities in our country shared and compared notes on world primary care clinics and the need for laboratory services in both western Africa and eastern China brain-storming ideas and initial plans for merging several lab operations into an efficient and effective new model and of course, the next exciting adventure for me with ASCP Global Outreach coming up later this summer in Central Asia!

We think the reader will agree that the book like the author's life - holds never a dull moment. Just this past month I have had the privilege to be part of multiple unique conversations that involved laboratory services and career paths. So once in a while it’s good to have interesting conversations and experiences that remind us that labs add value in so many areas. We are often so focused on our day-to-day operations, the tests we’re performing, the myriad of measures we use to assure safety and quality that we tend to fit rather nicely inside the “black box” just by doing what we do every day. Wish you a wonderful Sunday.Every now and then it’s good to be reminded that laboratories are all very dynamic and play an active role in the delivery of healthcare worldwide.
