Removing an object on a photo with GIMP Tutorial to remove objects (or people) and restore the portion of the background they hide in a photo with the Resynthesizer plugin. An impressive video has been posted on Youtube to show how, with Photoshop, it is possible to delete objects in an image automatically, without any design work. The same can be done with The Gimp in fact and for longer (it is not impossible that the same algorithm has been reused). This plugin "re-synthesizes" the background" and rebuilds it from same elements on the photo. It can thus reconstruct the sky, lawn, or even more complex views, from a sample taken from the image. First, see the Resynthesizer tutorial to know the purpose of controls. We will put in practice the commands using the same pictures that the Photoshop demonstration video.

Linux Equivalents to Windows Software There are many articles written about the reasons why users may wish to convert to Linux. Frequently cited reasons include the favorable licensing terms, the freely distributable software (with source code), support from the Linux community, improved security, open file formats, the fact that Linux can run on a wide variety of platforms, etc. However, unless a desktop user is provided with real alternatives to the existing software he or she currently uses, migration to a different operating system is going to be very difficult. This collection of articles aims to dispel the myth that Linux isn't ready for the desktop user to move away from the Microsoft world. For each Linux application, we have compiled a portal page providing an overview of the software, a screenshot of the application in action, a comprehensive list of its features, and links to sites offering information and support on the software such as forums, tutorials, and reviews. The list above is not exhaustive.
Books that will induce a mindfuck Here is the list of books that will officially induce mindfucks, sorted alphabetically by author. Those authors in bold have been recommended by one or more people as being generally mindfucking - any books listed under their names are particularly odd. You're welcome to /msg me to make an addition to this list. And finally, although he's way down at the bottom, my personal recommendation is definitely Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, as it turns the ultimate mindfuck: inverting the world-view of our entire culture, and it is non-fiction.
List of linguistic example sentences The following is a partial list of linguistic example sentences illustrating various linguistic phenomena. Interaction of syntax and semantics[edit] Syntax and meaning can interact, such that although a sentence is syntactically valid, and all of its words are meaningful, the sentence as a whole is meaningless. Examples of this type of sentence include: Ambiguity[edit] Different types of ambiguity which are possible in language. Lexical ambiguity[edit] Demonstrations of words which have multiple meanings dependent on context. Will will Will will Will's will to Will? Syntactic ambiguity[edit] Demonstrations of ambiguity between alternative syntactic structures underlying a sentence. Syntactic ambiguity, incrementality, and Local Coherence[edit] Demonstrations of how incremental syntactic parsing leads to infelicitous constructions and interpretations. Every farmer who owns a donkey beats it.[8]Somewhere in Britain, some woman has a child every thirty seconds. Embedding[edit] Word order[edit]

Making movies from image files using ffmpeg/mencoder Motivation In my research, I often generate a sequence of images from either my experiment or from a simulation that I want to put together into a movie. Since I use linux, I wanted to do this using free software in linux, and I wanted to be able to play the movie in linux. The movies are going to be non-standard size (usually square, around 200x200 pixels for me), and have a non-standard frame rate: typcially, my movies may only be 10 frames, so I don't want to run it at 30 fps. The details We want to encode to some kind of relatively portable movie format. ffmpeg and mencoder both do this using the libavcodec library developed as part of ffmpeg. vcodec= ffmpeg supports an even larger list of output codecs and container formats. MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 streams are no good, since the frame rate is locked to 29.97 or 25 FPS. (Note: "open" standard only means that the specifications aren't some undocumented industry secret. MPEG-4 is the best option. ffmpeg -r 10 -b 1800 -i %03d.jpg test1800.mp4
