![]() When creating the Install disk with DiskMaker X, I encounter this error message : “The disk could not be created because of an error: An error occured: -10006.” I plan to add a feature to check the size of the installer before trying to build an install disk in the not-too-distant future. The idea is to use an app that will force download of the full macOS install app. To be sure to download the full macOS installer, have a look here for macOS High Sierra or here for macOS Mojave. Check its size : if the installer is about 20 MB large, it’s a stub which can’t be used with DiskMaker X. Second, it may happen that your macOS Install app (either High Sierra or Mojave) is not complete. ”įirst, please update to DiskMaker X 7.0.1 or DiskMaker X 8.0.1.

![]() The same applies in reverse lower frequencies equals lower pitch. Faster cycles per second result in a higher frequency, which then results in a higher pitch. These dictate the pitch (or how high or low the notes are). High and low frequenciesįrequencies are measured in Hertz (Hz), referring to the number of soundwaves per second. A frequency is determined by the number of complete cycles (vibrations) that occur in one second, creating a waveform more commonly called ‘soundwave’. When those vibrations reach our ear, it turns into what we hear as sound. FrequencyĪll sounds are the result of vibrations moving through the air. Let’s break down the audio terminology that’s commonly associated with equalizers, so you have a better grasp of what you’re changing. Oftentimes, you’ll see technical terms that you’re unfamiliar with. The Basics: Understanding Common EQ TermsĮqualizers, by default, can be quite intimidating. For instance, the quality of your headphones and the type of file compression used can also affect the end result. But, you must consider other factors that can impact your audio quality. That’s why a lot of people use equalizers to tone them down a bit.Īn EQ can make considerable improvements to your audio. For example, listening to high frequencies for long periods can easily trigger ear fatigue. By attenuating the frequency, you will hear that sound less. This will isolate that frequency more, making vocals louder. You can boost the frequency at which vocals are heard. It truly gives you the option to personalize your music according to your taste.įor instance, let’s say you want to hear the vocals over anything else in the song. You can adjust the frequencies you hear to focus on different elements of the song using an equalizer. The music you listen to may sound good, but it can always sound better when tuned with an equalizer. This is because it gives you wide control over how your audio sounds like. However, an EQ can make arguably better changes. There are other ways to improve your audio, like boosting bass from within your Windows 10 computer. This is no surprise, as it gives each person the ability to personalize their listening experience to suit them. You can even find them in your favorite music streaming services, like Spotify and Amazon Music, which include built-in equalizers. Today, you can find digital equalizers in a myriad of devices, like smartphones, speakers, and soundbars. Tone knobs on guitar amplifier (From: Pexels) You might remember seeing one in the form of two or three tone knobs on your car stereo or instrument amplifiers labeled ‘bass’, ‘middle’, and ‘treble’. To account for this, an EQ gives you the power to tailor the music to your liking by choosing which frequencies you want to boost, and which you want to attenuate.Įarly equalizers used to be primarily hardware-based, making use of physical dials to manipulate the audio you hear. The problem here is that people don’t have the same tastes in music, and some may be disappointed by what others find superb. An equalizer, or EQ, is used to find your preferred balance between these frequencies in your music based on the environment, the listening method, and your personal preference.Īs mentioned, music that’s produced for a general audience is designed to sound decent in any environment, from any device. This frequency is then converted into sound when it reaches our ear. Your music has a wide range of different sounds, each belonging to a certain frequency.

How to Check Pixel Dimensions in LightroomĪfter you import your image into Lightroom, you can check this easily. But you can solve this problem by resizing your images in Lightroom.īut first, you need to know how many pixels your image has. And social media platforms don’t accept them. The problem with having big files is that they make websites heavy and slow. This causes the file size of your photos to be big. But more pixels also mean more data on the file of the photo. Having a lot of pixels is great when you’re working with large prints. The number of pixels in a photo also depends on the camera model and the number of pixels in the sensor. ![]() Most cameras these days capture images with a huge number of pixels (in the millions!). I enlarged this image 11x using Lightroom’s zoom (marked with the pink arrow). When you enlarge a photo, you can see the pixels as little squares.

And then, we discuss pixel dimensions and resolutions. After that, we show you different ways to resize an image in Lightroom. Then we show you how to check a photo’s pixel dimensions. How to Resize an Image in Lightroom (Step by Step)īefore we go through the steps, we answer an important question about pixels. Even beyond our atmosphere, faint skyglow is caused by sunlight reflected off interplanetary dust (zodiacal light), and background light from faint, unresolved stars and nebulosity. In the absence of light from human sources, skyglow is present due to a faint airglow in the upper atmosphere (a permanent, low-grade aurora) and starlight scattered in the atmosphere. Much of this skyglow is light pollution - sources of light prevalent in urban areas that reduce our ability to see stars, planets, and other celestial phenomena. At night, the sky always has a faint color, called "skyglow" by astronomers. The spiral consisted of a blue beam of light. 3 It was visible from, and photographed from, northern Norway and Sweden. Without an atmosphere the sky appears black, as evidenced by the lunar sky in pictures taken from the moon. The Norwegian spiral anomaly of 2009 1 ( Norwegian: spiralformede lysmnsteret, 'spiral-form light pattern', spiralformede lysfenomenet, 'spiral-form light phenomenon') 2 appeared in the night sky over Norway when. The sunlight reaching our eyes has a high ratio of short, bluish wavelengths compared to medium and long wavelengths, so we perceive the sky as being blue. From 2015 to 2016, citizen scientists people. Having watched the northern lights for almost 30 years since he was a teenager, he knew this wasn’t an aurora. They are created by refraction and reflection of light from raindrops, the size of which ranges. When a thin purple ribbon of light appeared and starting glowing, Bourassa immediately snapped pictures until the light particles disappeared 20 minutes later. Because this effect becomes sharply more pronounced as the energy of light increases, wavelengths at the blue end of the spectrum, where energy is the highest, are scattered preferentially. Rainbows are the best-known light phenomenon in the sky. This was a twilight time-lapse video shot in Eugene, OR on. Strange light orbs hover and circle across the sky in strange ways. Halos can have many forms, ranging from colored or white rings to arcs and spots in the sky. A halo (from Ancient Greek (hls) 'threshing floor, disk') 1 is an optical phenomenon produced by light (typically from the Sun or Moon) interacting with ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. This phenomenon is called "scattering." The type of scattering responsible for blue sky is known as Rayleigh scattering. UNEXPLAINED PHENOMENON - LIGHT ORBS IN THE SKY. A halo display observed over the South Pole. We see the sky as colored because our atmosphere interacts with the sunlight passing through it. ![]() Many blue and green feather colors involve scattering, as do many blues found in mandrills, tree frogs, and some caterpillars. We owe some of our most spectacular atmospheric phenomena to various types of scattering: the blue of the sky, the red of the sunset, and the white of clouds. This photograph was taken from the orbit of Apollo 11 in 1969. ![]() ![]() Earth seen from the moon in a black sky, since there is no lunar atmosphere. As the sunlight has passed through all this air, the air molecules have scattered and rescattered the blue light many times in many directions. Again, we’re using loose brush strokes and a brush with a rounded tip.įor the forests, we’ve mixed sap green with ultramarine blue to make a rich dark green. We’ve continued to use cobalt blue, black and titanium white paints for the mountains, but we’ve also introduced some ultramarine blue for the darker areas of the slopes. Work using the wet on wet technique to mix paint colours together before they’ve had a chance to dry. Add this using a light wash and repeat if you want to darken the colour. You’ll also notice there’s a hint of blue-green on the slopes of the mountains. Next, add darker greens for the forests on the mountainside. Mix light and dark shades of blue and use a finer brush to add detail to the mountains. While all of the mountains have a bluish tone, the more distant range is definitely a deeper shade of blue. Look at the source image and you’ll notice that there’s a real difference between the mountains that are close to the viewer and the ones that are further away. Washes are handy for making very subtle changes to your painting. Top tip: you can add a tint to the clouds and even out their appearance by applying a very thin wash of colour over the whole sky. You may want to return to the clouds later to refine the details or tidy up the skyline, so don’t worry if it doesn’t look perfect at this stage. Here we’ve used both wet on wet (painting on top of wet paint) and wet on dry (painting over dry paint) to create the cloudy look. It’s okay to go back over the clouds a few times to get the effect you want. The rough surface of the canvas will pick up the paint. If you want to add texture to your clouds, wait for the first layers to dry then drag thick paint over the canvas with a dry brush. Blend colours together while they are wet for a smooth gradient. Start by applying the darkest colours, then gradually work towards the lighter ones. For example, we can see that there’s white, light grey and a stormy blue-grey. Painting clouds is a real skill, but it’s worth taking the time to learn.įor these clouds, we’ve started by mixing a few different colours. The source photo we’ve chosen has lots of billowing clouds. We’re going for a more abstract and impressionistic approach with this painting, so don’t worry too much about the colours being too bright. 498 likes, 16 comments - Hamlet Shougrakpam (hamletshougrakpamart) on Instagram: 'Beautiful 'Pond in Early Morning' landscape painting /Acrylic on paper.
