![]() ![]() Mask AI incorporates machine learning for a more accurate mask with less refining required! Mask AI’s Unique Trimap Technology Masking Made Simple For Every Type of Photo Our neural network has been trained to distinguish tough edges, so you can get a great mask on the first attempt. With Mask AI you only need to roughly outline your subject in blue, one click fills what you want to cut, one click fills what you want to keep, and press “Compute Mask”. And there’s no need to learn complicated icons and tools. How We’ve Simplified MaskingĬompared to Photoshop, Mask AI doesn’t need tedious brushwork to get a high-quality mask. Less user input for an extremely high-quality mask has always been a photographer’s dream, and now you can have it with Mask AI. Mask AI allows you to create tricky masks in record time thanks to our intuitive machine learning technology and trimap technique. Our photography tools, software included, are relatively inexpensive for what they allow us to do and problems they solve.Creating complex selections by hand and perfecting them almost always takes way longer than expected. I photographed a broadcast studio last week and I was told a Fuji box lenses on one of the rigs goes for $178K! The entire rig, camera, lens, pedestal tripod and the cradle goes for almost $300K. Price while may be high for some and perception may be that the software companies are milking us for things we do not need, I think the right tool makes our lives a lot easier. ![]() I am forced to shoot a lot of high ISO images these days and the noise reduction function is invaluable. I think if the Denoise is better of the two (Topaz/On1) I would pay for the software just for that. My friend uses the Gigapixel and loves it. ![]() From the few comparisons that I have seen, they both have pluses and minuses. I would love to see do a comparison with On1 denoise. I am mostly interested in the DeNoise AI module. You would also prefer adobe offering the whole CC and ditch single apps? So if you do something with graphics you need ps, lr, illustrator, express, inDesign, animate, substance etc ah and we're at it maybe the video centric apps as well despite one just wanting lr/ps? Or maybe offering only the whole CC suite at full price? That is more comparable. As example if you don't need gigapixel ai (it really isn't that great with full sized photos but pretty good if you download small resolution photos from web and get them into print size). With the single one you also have the opportunity to stay cheaper by leaving out what you don't need. Meaning you are happy paying the same price for less capabilities? (ok atm it is cheaper, we'll see if it stays at a discount like the single apps or goes up). Well the combined app costs as much as all three together, so price wise nothing changed except that you get more with the single apps as they offer more options, more AI models and more control. To be honest it was much more refined before the refinement in the presentation.ĪI Clear for denoise seems to be gone? It wasn't the best but more consistent for batch processing as a last refinement for delivery or clearing spots or lines (you know those artifacts that might appear as leftovers of NR when dealing with heavy noise). You can grow it to cover missed spots sure but it starts growing those that were already pretty good to cause effects on the background without an option to limit that. Now you have to manually blend it in a different program. Or a recover original detail slider which acted as a soft blend mode to get something in between which was useful against some ai errors as well. You had more choices and could make some tweaks as there always were parts which looked "funny" in some images (masking out with a brush in worst case situations but you could do it). Oww the control is pretty limited compared to the standalone apps.

None of this has a major effect on distance, because the athlete's "flight path" is largely determined by projection velocity and angle of takeoff - once you're in the air, you can't apply any more force! Sara Simeoni from Italy during the women's high jump at the 1984 Olympic Games. The hitch-kick (the one that looks like the athlete is running in the air) tends to create a backward lean of the upper body, which prepares the athlete better for an efficient landing. In the first two, the torso remains virtually perpendicular to the ground. There are three techniques jumpers can use in the flight phase - the sail, the hang or the hitch-kick. To maximize distance, an athlete must do all they can to avoid forward rotation during the flight phase of the jump. News Tokyo Olympics 2021: Schedule, events and where to watch Why do long jumpers lean back? No amount of energy can be wasted on tightened muscles because sprinters need their energy to go into their long strides to the finish line. Having loose muscles is essential to sprinters. ![]() Joosep Martinson / Getty Images for European Athletics Why do sprinters run with their hands open? Andrea Rooth of Norway competes in the women's 400m hurdles in Tallinn, Estonia. Runners in longer races are a bit more likely to choose to wear socks because of the threat of blisters. Many athletes like the feel of their competition spikes as tight to their feet as possible to avoid any chance of slippage when applying maximal forces. Socks or no socks is a personal choice for each athlete. Arm sleeves reduce swelling of the arms while making such intense movements in a short period of time, reduce energy loss while running, and increase blood circulation in the muscles, aiding in a quick recovery. Why do sprinters wear arm sleeves?Īrm sleeves don't just look cool they serve multiple purposes. It is called Post-activation Potentiation (PAP) by sports scientists.Īccording to research from the Journal of Sports Sciences, jumping before a race prevents the risk of injury and can decrease your overall race time. This explosive movement before getting in the blocks helps activate neurons and muscle fibers to prepare for the demands of the sprint to follow. The first stride that a sprinter takes is the longest and the starting blocks allow the sprinter to increase their acceleration and position themselves upright to move as fast as possible. In the shorter dashes, blocks are also very helpful in providing a solid platform for the athlete to push off of in order to get a more powerful and rapid start. ![]() Usain Bolt takes the start of the Men's 200m at the 2016 Rio Olympics. 1 of a second after the starting gun has fired.

On the drive home back to Texas, I called my booking agent and my publicist and everybody.

Me, Liz, Dorian and Judah, we often in the wintertime go to New Mexico. Things were really on a high in the Ben Kweller universe. It was a whole interactive album art experience that got nominated for a Grammy. The lyric book had all the guitar chords in it, so it was like a sing-along book. It was this fold-out diorama that was really beautiful. It sold a bunch of records on our label, which was like, “Wow, this is fucking cool.” We put together this ambitious album artwork concept. For an independent release, Go Fly A Kite did really well, commercially - whatever that means. I had just started a new label, The Noise Company. KWELLER: In 2013 I had released an album called Go Fly A Kite. How are the events of 2013 connected to this moment? And what have you planned in the live shows to honor Dorian’s memory? No one would have blamed you if you just… didn’t want to return to work, ever. Right, Dorian’s passing happened in February, just as you were about to start promoting the 20th anniversary of your solo debut album, Sha Sha. We were like, oh my god, do we just cancel everything? But that rewinds us back to 2013 - when I disappeared. That was gonna be so much fun… and then he died. It was gonna be his first tour opening for me. I was thinking a lot about you and your family when I saw the news.īEN KWELLER: Thank you so much. Please know how incredibly sorry I am for your loss. Ahead of tour kick-off, Kweller was kind enough to sit down with me for a Zoom call, where we dug into memories around Sha Sha, being mentored by Evan Dando, witnessing Bright Eyes history, and letting music lead the way in the wake of Dorian’s loss. Up next are dates in Minneapolis, Chicago, and back-to-back shows in New York on Nov. 4, he kicked off its 20th anniversary tour at LA’s Teragram Ballroom. By playing through his pain, Kweller finds a way to honor his son.Įarlier this year, Kweller released a Sha Sha deluxe edition, and on Nov. Though no one would blame him for wanting to hide away again after Dorian’s death, Kweller has made a concerted effort to keep going. Kweller has discussed his disappearance in plenty of interviews, and he does again in this one: Following a near-death experience, he fell into a lengthy depression and just couldn’t bring himself to record or tour. Save for one extended break, Kweller has steadily released albums since then - six in total, with 2021’s Circuit Boredom arriving nearly a decade after 2012’s Go Fly A Kite. In the early-to-mid 2000s, Sha Sha created a middle ground between the Moldy Peaches’ quirk-folk and melodic alternative rock marketed to the cargo-shorts-wearing crowd (think: Guster, Pete Yorn). Kweller’s debut solo album, Sha Sha, dropped in 2002 via ATO Records and featured 11 pop-forward tracks that swung between thoughtful (“Family Tree”), sweetly off-the-cuff (“Wasted & Ready”), and genuinely sincere (“Falling”). Unlike scene leaders the Strokes, who melded the Velvet Underground’s downtown nonchalance with the Ramones’ hooky punk, Kweller’s shaggy, unvarnished piano-rock felt distinctly more West Coast, as if the Beach Boys developed a taste for distortion pedals, or if the Schwartzman brothers rocked a little harder in Phantom Planet/Rooney, or if early Weezer had been more irreverent. As he came of age in the early 2000s, Kweller moved to New York and formed relationships with a whole mess of rock revivalists. Originally from Greenville, Texas, Kweller spent the ’90s playing in the alt-grunge outfit Radish, which developed a local following in Dallas. Kweller had been Dorian’s age when multiple record labels started courting him as a budding indie-folk solo artist. Kweller had been preparing to take his oldest on a summer tour, marking something of a full-circle moment for father and son. Dorian had been a musician as well - he’d even released several songs under his middle name, ZEV. In February of this year, the singer-songwriter’s 16-year-old son, Dorian Zev Kweller, was tragically killed in a car accident. Ben Kweller has suffered an inconceivable loss. ![]() Insider Tip: Get creative when choosing your ingredients, Tamales turn out the best when they’re made to your personal preferences.

How being owed money suddenly changes to owing money, for instance. It lent a unique weight to the show, but there were things I didn’t quite understand. It does need to be said, though, that it generally says something good when one’s biggest complaint is, “They didn’t finish it!”Ī slightly lesser complaint, but still important, is how the story relied on economics. I don’t know exactly how far along story they got in the anime, but I know that things eventually end happy in the manga and it even has a sequel, following Kraft and Holo’s daughter, so I know there’s more material for them to draw on. Sequel = Proof that the story is unfinished. It’s not uncommon for a story to slump a little in the middle, setting up the personal stakes that drive the big finish. Still, it was pretty good, and we were starting to get a picture of the true travesty of Holo’s past, the terrible truth that awaited her on her eventual return to her homeland. It just wasn’t quite so gripping, and some of Lawrence’s antics with Holo began to make a little less sense, and so felt a little more forced. The second season, though, lost a little steam for me. ![]() The second arc was a small step down, but still delivered wonderfully. The first arc, about half of the first season long, was fantastic, weaving a story that, while having a few predictable elements, was entertaining, intriguing, and emotional. It was unusual for me at the time, to like something that was so lacking in action, but I just couldn’t help it. That is, of course, your individual choice.Īs for myself, I rather loved this anime, even before I finished the first episode. There’s not much of it, but there is mature content you may want to be wary of if you have kids. As an uncle, that sort of thing has become a particular point for me to consider more. I didn’t even know that was possible.īut, still, possible or not, one must keep it in mind for one’s own tastes, and for considerations of anyone from the younger generation possibly being in the room at the time. But I was impressed and intrigued by how they were able to show us such content, without it being vulgar in any way, and certainly without making the female lead overly sexual. It can be pretty shocking in a way that turns some people off of a show. That, by the way, is something that a friend of mine warned me about while also encouraging me to see this anime, and it’s a good thing too. …I have never seen any anime depiction of a nude or near-nude female that was so tastefully done and non-sexual in nature. And, as much validity as there is to to this image… I’ve only heard the English dub by Funimation, but the voice acting is absolutely top notch, endearing the characters to us even more. The attention to detail, including how Holo acts, how she’s depicted with fangs, ears, a tail, and eyes that glimmer in the dark, how Lawrence trips in the dark, the conversations they have, etc., creates a believable portrait of what it’s like to be these people in their situation. The animation and the music are as magical as befits the story of a mystical wolf that became a “god” and then became a human-like woman. It concludes with a more permanent decision to be together.įrom the start, Spice and Wolf is both entrancing and realistic in unexpected ways. It follows what happens to them, what they go through, and how their relationship develops. It begins with the circumstances surrounding their first meeting and their mutual decision to stay together. The story of Kraft Lawrence and Holo the Wise Wolf is exactly that: their story. ![]() There’s no doubt, that’s part of what I like about it: how unique it is.īut uniqueness alone is not enough to enthrall for long, so the fact that I consider Spice and Wolf to be among my favorites leaves more to be said. This offers a freshness and originality that I’ve largely found to be lacking in the industry and even entertainment as a whole. ![]() I can’t think of another anime with a setup quite like that. Following the journey of a peddler and his unusual passenger, the show is a realistic fantasy and a love story, with some mild adventuring and action here and there, heavily involving economics both to give the story texture and to drive the plot forward. Spice and Wolf is fairly unique among all the anime I’ve watched. |
