end Playful Indulgences with Adobe Pixel Blender for Photoshop By niels-henriksen.blogspot.com Published On :: Thu, 03 Nov 2011 17:48:00 +0000 Sometimes I just find I have a need to play. Not the sand lot type, even though that might be fun, but more along the lines of creativity with my artworks. With painting I can just slop the wonderful colors around and see what happens but clean-up is more effort. But with photography it's not always as easy. I could throw my camera up in the air with a timed shutter and see what happens, but I am afraid of dropping it and then seeing a lot on money becoming dust on the ground with a broken camera. Digital editing allows me that freedom and the only cost is my time. Definitely less risky. I came across a video that shows the use of an Adobe Labs plug-in for Photoshop CS 4&5 called Pixel Bender. Being also a painter I was more interested in the oil painting effects as demonstrated with the image I 'bent' below. I may take this further as I will need to get rid of those bright white objects at the top of frame to make this image useful. The above image was run once in pixel bender to give texture in the parrot, but I found that the remaining detail was all too much the same and still too fine in detail for the background. I masked out the parrot, used the blending too to see if this would help. Not much, so I ran pixel bender again on several iterations on just the background to get the final image above. I didn’t realize until later that the smudging of texture actually added to the larger texture in pixel bender. One again for above image I ran pixel bender to get the effect for the chairs and table and then playing around with iterations on just the background and with the smudging tool to get a less contrasty detail here.In trying to use other images to see how they worked it became apparent that for it to work well there should be sufficient detail and contrast in image for it to produce better results. I also noticed that image size from 800 to 4,000 pixels each had different effects. The largest brush size was 15 pixels and with the large images the effects became smaller. The 2 photos of the fall scene are identical except for image resolution. The above was 1,000 pixels wide and below was 4,000+ wide It's easy to see the difference in effects. For the smaller image I even had tor reduce the brush size so as not to over-dominate the bending effect. From the experiments, or is it playing around, I noticed that when areas were smudged in linear or curved arches it increased the detail effects to make them larger as in the parrot's background and with the same fall scene but with smudging on the trees in image below. These may not be exactly to your taste but if you are digitally creating painting-type images then by combining different effects for areas within the photograph, a more pleasing painting effect can be created. It is important for any effect type that there be variation in texture detail, size and contrast, like a real painting to create harmony and vision flow within the image. The most important aspect is to create images that you like and not for others and that you have fun doing this. While I was playing around I completely lost track of time which for me is a sign that my creative juices are really flowing and I'm exploring new avenues. Please send me some links if you have any digital creations that were just fun and you enjoyed the outcome. Niels Henriksen Full Article creativity PhotoShop software
end An Explosion of Colors at the El Señor de la Conquista Festival in San Miguel de Allende By niels-henriksen.blogspot.com Published On :: Sun, 04 Mar 2012 19:13:00 +0000 The one thing I enjoy most about San Miguel de Allende is that you'er busy. I'm taking photographs everyday, meeting old and new friends and enjoying lots of events. There are many artist shows opening every week and then there's the special film showing and theater plays. The downside, at least for my blog readers, is the problem with actually getting down and writing a new article. I was working on a theme and then on Friday the 2nd of March there was the 'El Señor de la Conquista' Festival in San Miguel de Allende in and around the center square called 'el Jardin'. There were 5 different groups from local towns nearby each with their own style of dress and costumes. Withh such a display of colors and action it was not hard to keep photographing as they almost performed continuously for 10 hours. There was a small break in the afternoon as they started around 10:00am and continued until 9:00pm. Even the people resting provided good photographic opportunities. It's easy to see from the next photo how much these dancers enjoyed and were engrossed with their performances. During breaks they laid their headdress on the ground. The music playing and drums resonated over the whole town all day long and if you wanted a quiet spot you almost had to head out of town. Great costumes and action. Even fathers and sons participated. San Miguel is first an historic town with stunning architecture but the festivals which almost happen every weekend during some months add that extra spice and color to your stay here.

end Festivals in San Miguel de Allende By niels-henriksen.blogspot.com Published On :: Wed, 11 Apr 2012 17:21:00 +0000 It seems like there is always some sort of festival going on in San Miguel. In fact, there really is. Most of these are tied to religious or Mexican national events, but at times there also those unexpected festivals. When they involve children they can make for extra special photographic events. And who doesn’t love the smiles and special faces that children can make. Add a few costumes and now there is magic in the air. Last year and again this year there was the multicultural school event with kids coming from many districts. I wasn't paying special attention to the date as I didn’t even know it was happening again. I only came by the festival when I was heading by the Jardin. Which is a daily ritual for me in my treks around town. I didn't notice the festival event in the local paper Atencion which is great for highlighting events in and around town. There is always so much going on that it's easy to miss one, or sometimes the festival's name is in Spanish and it may not be evident by its title. I asked one of the girls participants to pose with the rose as she seemed to have the best smile of all of them.She and the boy in the image above were the central characters in their school skit. The pair of them started off sitting on a bench and the boy appeared to reject the advances of the girl. I believe that this was part of a Valentines theme as every person had a heart on their palms. After a short interval, with the music was playing all the time, the rest of their class mates joined them on stage and performed a choreographed dance. It was great fun to watch and in this photo you can see all their hearts on their hands. A few weeks later I came across an art festival called “Thank You Art' project. This is were kids and some adults, me included, glued coloured tissue paper to a clear plexiglass sheet. They were allowed to cut the sheets into strange shapes or with cut-outs and even write messages on their sheets. Then they were glued on top of each other in a multitude of different colors. When the panels were hung in a lighted area they glowed like stained glass panels. During my photographing of the kids enjoying themselves one of the directors of the project asked me if they could use some of my photos for the up coming display of the final glass sheets. I was fortunate to have several of my images selected for the Art show in the Biblioteca that ran for 2 weeks.They printed my images 39cm x 52 cm (15” x 20”) and hung them on the wall around the 2 plexiglass sheets that looked like large stained glass windows. When in San Miguel you should always, and I mean always, have your camera with you as you never know what's just waiting around the next corner. Three times during my winter stay I did not take my camera with me and I regretted it each time. Now I don't leave home without it. It may be a bit heavy so I carry it in my backpack.

end Sections of Buildings in San Miguel de Allende By niels-henriksen.blogspot.com Published On :: Tue, 05 Jun 2012 15:04:00 +0000 The photos displayed in the blog article focus mainly on parts or sections of buildings in San Miguel. While some photos, such as the image below, are clearly understood. The rest have more of an abstract genre and for these the lines become the main compositional elements. Within the city, the walls along with the sidewalks are continuous, except for the odd entrance to an inner courtyard or alley way. In the photo above, this wall is most likely not part of a house, but used more as a high fence to an inner courtyard. Inside could be a rubble heap or a grand garden and fountain. Never knowing what you'll find behind these walls is one of the intriguing aspects of San Miguel. On the walls in the courtyard of Bellas Artes (the National Institute of Fine Arts) these lanterns hang on the abutments on the adjacent walls. The darker brickwork along these abutments were darkened and made more gritter to enhance the texture of the lanterns. This image is from the same courtyard of Bellas Artes, the photo above with the lanterns, but here I'm looking from across the street and the 3 curved protrusions are form the top of the outer wall. Atotonilco is a UNESCO world historic site (church) about 20 mi out of San Miguel. It's only a short distance from here to the Hots Springs which is a favourite spot for many people in San Miguel. On Saturdays in the village (50 people) there are many street vendors selling unique religious objects. Within the core of San Miguel is a Bull Fighting Ring. Only a few blocks from the central square (el Jardin) of the town. In the photo above you can just see the top the homes which abut to the walls all around the Bull Ring. There were no events or spectators on this day and this allowed me to take photos of the beautiful curved lines of a circular bull ring. While walking around I just couldn't resit this bit of abstraction with the 2 different lanterns and their corresponding shadows.

end Independently control Noise, Reverb and Breath Reduction Amounts By auphonic.com Published On :: Thu, 16 May 2024 13:20:55 +0000 Responding to your feedback, we are now proud to present new separate parameters for noise, reverb, and breath reduction to give you more flexible control for your individual, best output results. Find all the new parameters below and listen to the Audio Examples to get a closer impression of the upgrade. What's the update about? Before Previously, you could only set the Denoising Method and one reduction amount, that was used for all elements. Depending on the selected method, you were already able to decide whether music, static, or changing noises should be removed, but there was no setting to keep the typewriter sound effects while removing the reverb, for example. Now With our latest upgrade, you can now set the reduction amounts separately for noise, reverb, and breathing sounds. For example, you could completely remove the background noise while reducing the reverb just a little to enhance speech intelligibility but keep the atmosphere. Like we did in Audio Example 1. Many of you have also asked about the possibility of slightly reducing breath sounds rather than eliminating them completely. In Audio Example 2 we demonstrate how you can prevent your audio from sounding strange and unnatural by reducing instead of eliminating all breathing sounds. To all of you who are happy with the results and don't want anything to change, relax: If you don't change the default settings, the noise reduction algorithms work exactly the same as before. Note: As the 'Static Denoiser' removes only stationary noise, there are no 'Remove Reverb' and 'Remove Breathings' parameters available for this denoising method. New Parameters Screenshot of the new Noise Reduction Parameters in the production form. In order to use the new noise reduction features, you may separately set the following parameters: Denoising Method: (unchanged) Select what kind of noise you want to remove. [Dynamic Denoiser (default), Speech Isolation, Static Denoiser] Note that the parameters 'Remove Reverb' and 'Remove Breathings' are NOT available for Static Denoiser! Remove Noise: Select the amount of noise you want to remove. [100 dB (default), Disable Denoise, 3 dB, 6 dB, ..., 100 dB (full)] Remove Reverb: Select the amount of reverb you want to remove. [100 dB (default), Disable Deverb, 3 dB, 6 dB, ..., 100 dB (full)] Remove Breathings: Select the amount of breathings you want to remove. [Off (default), 3 dB, 6 dB, ..., 100 dB (full)] Feel free to experiment with all the options to find your preferred parameter settings! Editing and reprocessing existing productions does not cost any additional credits as long as you don't change the input file. Listen to the results: 1. Reverb reduction with full noise elimination For the first audio example by conduitministries.com we set the 'Remove Noise' amount to 100 dB (full) and varied the 'Remove Reverb' amount starting from 0 dB (Off) to 12 dB (medium) and to 100 dB (full). Listen to how first the noise is gone and then step by step the reverb is lower: Original -100dB Denoise -0dB Deverb -100dB Denoise -12dB Deverb -100dB Denoise -100dB Deverb 2. Breathing sound reduction In the breathing reduction audio example by LibriVox.org we used the 'Remove Breathing' amounts increasing from the original audio with 0 dB (Off) to 12 dB (medium) and to 100 dB (full) reduction. In the result files you can hear, that the 100 dB (full) elimination leads to weird, unnatural-sounding pauses, that can be prevented by just reducing the breathing sounds: Original -12dB Debreath -100dB Debreath Try it now on auphonic.com! Feedback We hope you like our upgraded version of the Noise Reduction Algorithms with new parameters for more control. If you have more feature requests or feedback for us, please let us know! You can also leave a comment in the feedback section on the status page of your specific production. We're looking forward to hearing from you! Full Article Audio Development News
