![]() ![]() You'll need to do those things with some other program.ĬB2 can process Raw files, provided that the Raw-file format is supported by an installed Windows codec or by OS X (as appropriate). There is no way to print from CB2, and there's no way to upload to photo sharing sites from CB2. All you can do with your edited images is to save them as sRGB JPEGs, and you don't even get a choice of compression level (the level is roughly similar to Photoshop level 9). I was a bit surprised to find that CB2 is strictly an editor. I do wish that CB2 had some kind of "filmstrip" or other way of seeing thumbnails for multiple photos in the folder, though. Many of the photos I'd considered to be "blah" turn out to be quite interesting when viewed as snapshots. I'll set up a particular look and flip through a folder of my pictures, and I'm just fascinated by the images. One thing I really enjoy about CB2 is using it as a photo browser. Cropping is the only way I know of to get a close-up look at a section of an image, and even then it's limited to 100%. There's also no zoom-in or zoom-out you're always seeing the entire working image at a "fit to screen" size, and even that's limited to 100% (for small images). There is no histogram, no eye-dropper, no way to determine the numerical values of the pixels. Furthermore, all adjustments have to be done by eye. It doesn't offer any sharpening nor any noise reduction, no painting nor pixel editing, no selections nor layers. Of the latter, my personal favorite is probably "1962": a high-contrast B&W look that reminds me of Weegee's work (example on page 4 of this review).ĬB2 can be used for conventional post-processing, but that's not really its strong point. CB2 also includes historical looks like cyanotype and autochrome, the nostalgic looks of the Polaroid and Instamatic eras, and some vintage pro looks inspired by newspaper and magazine photos. The "toy camera" looks are the obvious (and most extreme) examples, but those are just one part of CB2's retro repertoire. The heart of CB2 is applying Style looks that are inspired by vintage film photos and snapshots, especially looks that are noted for their relatively low fidelity. Although casual snapshots are CB2's natural input material, I've found that even my serious photos often can turn out to be fun snapshots if I let myself go. even if sometimes the result might be considered a bit "trashy" by the purist. With CB2 it's pretty easy to take an ordinary snapshot and make it more eye-grabbing. Nevercenter's CameraBag 2 Desktop (CB2) is an inexpensive Windows/Mac photo editor for dressing up snapshots where the final image will probably be posted on the Web, sent via email, or printed at 4圆.

We all see everyday life in high-fidelity, all of the time. ![]() Making your snapshots more interesting often involves reducing, rather than increasing, their fidelity. In the past we've probably just filed those away for our own use, but in today's online world there's a growing desire to share snapshots. The thing with snapshots is that they usually aren't particularly strong on content, composition, or technical issues. Snapshots can be moving, and snapshots can be fun. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in my "photographs" that I forget about snapshots.

It also turned millions more into refugees, and left hundreds of thousands of Korean families divided until the present day, many never knowing whether their relatives were alive or dead. Let us first consider the Korean War as a war on civilians, which killed as many noncombatants as it did combatants - around 2 million, according to various estimates. ![]() In what follows, I will consider first the experience of the war itself for the Korean people, and then the ways in which the war has been interpreted. Depending on their attitude toward the Soviet Union, socialists have either seen the Korean War as a fight for freedom by a plucky, independence-minded people against the might of US imperialism, or as a great power struggle between Washington and Moscow, shorn of the complexities of social upheaval and civil war that accompanied the end of empire and the beginning of partition in Korea itself in 1945. Meanwhile, in the two Koreas, official discourse has for decades subjected the war to various forms of historical amnesia - the “historiography of oblivion,” to borrow Tessa Morris-Suzuki’s term - diverting knowledge and understanding into narrow channels, in a way that often runs counter to the experience of those who were caught up in the conflict.įor its part, the international left has tended to view the war in simplistic terms, when it has bothered to take notice of it at all. ![]() Mainstream commentary in the United States has often described Korea as a “forgotten war,” overshadowed by Vietnam and the social upheavals it helped foment. We should take this opportunity to recover the memory of both what this war meant for the Korean people and its place in twentieth-century history. ![]() June 25 marks the seventieth anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950. ![]() Gain.Ībout the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation Headquartered in Appleton, Wisconsin, the company’s business divisions are U.S. Guided by its company vision, “To be the very best value-adding distributor of products that vehicles consume in North America,” they deliver unconventional, creative solutions that give their customers a competitive edge. has been recognized as an innovative leader in the distribution of petroleum and renewable energy products, lubricants, and tires and parts for the automotive aftermarket.

While Multicam is only usable in autumn and winter (in Europe!), SloCam is working during all four seasons at a a certain extent. Third: SloCam is a better universal pattern than Multicam. Second: Multicam has a right to exist here in our temperate zone at least in winter, even though it is way too bright in any other time of the year – which is a result of its dedicated area of operation, being the arid environment. Cloth is at chest height, could be regarded as a kneeling individual. By now there is an updated version available with higher contrast in the micro, midi and macro elements).

Scenario 3: an open forest floor with a closed foliage roof.Scenario 2: an open slope in direct sunlight with spots of snow.Scenario 1: a snowy slope inside of a mixed forest at dawn.In doing so I tried to create different circumstances: I rather would like to demonstrate with my limited ressources how different camouflage patterns work outside of their comfort zone, or how universal some patterns really are. interesting enough to repeat my camo tests.Īs always I do not make some sort of scientific claim. ![]() ![]() Either way I found the discussion with J. So let‘s see this from the possible scenario that soldiers get fielded with only one camo pattern. One could argue that some bureaucrat makes a cost benefit calculation and canceled the winter camo. The best winter camo is of no use, if there is no snow. ![]() Of course there are more trivial reasons like climatic conditions.Other more trivial reasons are that if you hand out winter camo you technically (!) need matching gear to it, which causes additional costs.Of course there are always the SF groups that get their toys, but I am talking regular soldiers now. If you get some, then it most likey consists of a simple white coat to wear over the actual uniform. There are not that many armies which hand out winter camouflage to their soldiers.Nevertheless I really don‘t want to appear arrogant. To be honest I could just say: „I did it because I could“ and be done with it. After quite some mails we came to the conclusion that I would compare all the patterns which are available to me from these camo families.Īs a result of this discussion I gave thought to some basic aspects in regard to camouflage patterns in autumn and winter time, which I would like to mention beforehand, because I know some people are going to immediately shout out in anger that there are dedicated winter patterns out there and that this test is defacto obsolete.
