You can also start with one of the other masking layers and touch it up with the brush masking tool. ![]() There are five different ways to create a layer mask: Brush, Spot, Gradient, Color, and Luminosity. It is asking a lot of the camera not to capture the world as it is. Topaz Studio 2 also allows you to add layer masks to each filter. Impressionism was a move away from trying to reproduce reality. One of the reasons the Impressionist Movement started, was that in 1874 the camera could already capture realistic images. Other times I see motion – that fourth dimension. Sometimes I see snippets of the whole – abstracts, shapes and shadows. Lurking there in my peripheral vision, I see more.

![]() Sounds quite scary, doesn't it? At least it did to me the first time I read about it. Some HTML tags are restricted from usage and some – replaced by ones having the amp- prefix as well. So aiming to provide such users fast access to the content taking place online the Google guys are massively pushing forward the so-called Accelerated Mobile Pages or AMP – a kind of drastically cut off way of writing HTML pages, combined with the usage of only the scripts form the AMP repository and disallowing the usage of any external references to either CSS or other JS files at all. Pretty often and quite too many users do have rather cheaper or older phones with limited hardware capabilities and data plans. Being considered as useful and improving the comfort and ease of the web page visitors it was massively backed up by the Internet giants as a must and now it's not a trend but rather just the regular way a web page is supposed to appear – we can actually easily spot the outdated once by having to pinch zoom in them on order to read them.Īnd pretty much the same way as this has started back than today one of the probably most popular search engines – the Google, which in some parts of the world is kind of used for synonym for searching – now tries to push forward a new way web pages should be done – this time aiming not only for comfort on mobiles but also for speed, considering the perfect case of having a powerful phone and lightning fast internet is not the one taking place all the time. So a few years ago the mobile-friendly web design was born making the pages automatically scale for best appearance depending on the particular screen they get displayed on – something we just accept as natural today. What was at first a science fiction then a lux, like pulling a powerful computer right out of your pocket, giving it commends with your voice and having it talk back is now a regular feature pretty much anyone with a mobile phone can get with just installing a simple app and being connected to the Net.įollowing this trend of the way we access the net being more and more shifted to mobiles, making them if not a competitor but at least an equal partner to the regular desktops and laptop computers it's no doubt the Net itself with all the web pages we view every day gets transformed embracing new approaches aiming to provide the regular user more comfort and speed nevertheless of the device he or she uses for interacting with it. The world is changing – we can feel it on the web, see it in the search results and in all the weird gadgets we come to be so used to in our everyday life so we don't even seem to pay much attention on their very existence nevertheless just a few years ago we would be looking at the very same things with amazement. 2/1/2024 0 Comments Textexpander alternative macI’ve come to love it so much that I only use Espanso on my computers and have since canceled my TextExpander subscription. I’ve been using Espanso for the last two years with no hiccups at all. As someone who has a soft spot in my heart for open-source projects that are done well, Espanso continually impresses me. Open source projects are usually a labor of love, and it’s unreasonable to expect them to compete with larger commercial products since resources are severely constrained. That’s an entirely different paradigm, and I wouldn’t expect the sole developer of this excellent tool to essentially recreate his app for the iOS platform in the near future. Unfortunately, there’s no Espanso for iOS. ![]() That means I only need one main config file that I sync across my computers to ensure I have the same shortcuts everywhere. Luckily, Espanso works across Windows, macOS, and Linux, and they all use the same configuration file format. I use Linux systems quite a bit in my day-to-day job tasks, and I was really missing my TextExpander library on those computers. Still, I’ve really come to love Espanso for its simplicity, frequent updates, and rock-solid performance. This is true for simple text replacement, but when it comes to setting up a menu or pop-up dialog, TextExpander’s UI definitely wins out in usability. Once you take a few minutes to understand the syntax, I’ve found that it’s much easier to make quick edits to a text file than it is to open the TextExpander dialog box and create a new snippet. Where TextExpander is configured solely in a window UI, Espanso is configured with a text file. When compared side by side, TextExpander definitely has more polish and refinement. One of the most useful packages is a list of commonly misspelled words to ensure you’re spelling game is always excellent. Some of the most common packages available are for writing the various accents that many languages use, mathematical notations, other scientific notations, and even emojis. Simply put, Packages are just collections of shortcuts/snippets that other people have already put together. One area that sets Espanso apart for me is the addition of Packages. Like TextExpander, you can also create custom forms so you can choose options, do smart things with dates, and even run scripts from a snippet. ![]() Whether you’re trying to cut down on subscription costs or you’re interested in trying alternatives, allow me to introduce you to Espanso.Įspanso is a free and open-source tool for expanding text shortcuts into longer snippets, but it’s also so much more. The service has grown and become more popular among individuals and teams, and that brought with it the dreaded subscription pricing model. For as long as I can remember, TextExpander has been the de facto solution for magically expanding text shortcuts into longer snippets on macOS and Windows (and even iOS). 2/1/2024 0 Comments Krita pen pressure![]() It seemed to be caused by my use of multiple monitors.īest of luck solving whatever problem brought you here. This choose screen resolution fixed both of these problems for me. Eventually, I somehow added an odd offset that only happened to pen while on the canvas, but not while in the menus. My initial problem was that I had pressure sensitivity on one monitor but not the one I wished to use. If this fails feel free to try the other options in the pop-up. Selecting the first option and continuing solved the lack of pressure sensitivity for me. This will open a pop-up called "Choose screen resolution". Then, pick up your pen and touch the tablet with it. Once krita is open, press and hold shift on your keyboard. Without touching your pen (leave it on your desk AWAY from the tablet) start krita with your mouse and keyboard. I am hoping to help others that find this thread and have the same problem. ![]() I know that this is a 2 year old thread, but I just solved this problem for myself on windows 10. Pressure sensitivity does work in many other applications. Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga (stock digitizer, WACOM drivers) |
