I am sorry for bothering you, but if you don't mind, can you tell the tips for the very very begginers. I really want to start learning how to draw, but it is overwhelming and I don't no where to start and feel a little at loss

ha! One of these days I'm going to have to write something detailed and well-constructed to be able to answer these questions properly. ^^"

In any case, you're not bothering me at all and I'll try to give you a clear answer, but I apologise in advance if it's too long or if my English isn't good at times. In short version I would just quote Lorenzo from How to think when you draw : source

My long version:

It's hard because everyone functions differently, but I'd say that first of all you need to define a goal or a project that will be your driving force so that you don't lose your motivation. It could be a personal comics project or doing fan art, it doesn't matter as long as you're enthusiastic about it. If you have to choose between academic seriousness and fun, choose fun, because fun make you practice and practice make you progress anyway so you'll be less likely to get discouraged.

It's important to practice as regularly as possible, because your ability to draw is like a muscle that you need to maintain. If you don't practice enough, your progress will be slow, and if you don't practice for too long, you'll lose what you've learnt.

Having said that, learning fast is not an obligation - it depends on your goal.

For the technical aspects that you still need to learn between two sessions of fun, the order that seems logical to me is :

shape and volume || light and shade

anatomy

colour theory

perspective

composition

That's assuming you start by doing just characters before getting into complex backgrounds. And bearing in mind that certain parts are connected together and can be learned simultaneously. For example, I've put perspective towards the end, assuming that you come to the backgrounds last, but it's useful for drawing characters too.

To make each of these parts easier, they need to be broken down into stages.

Shape and volume || Light and shade :

Shape and volume :

Basically, it's useful for everything else. understanding shapes allows you to decompose complex subjects so that you can reproduce them more easily. Absolutely everything around you and everything you want to draw can be decomposed in this way. It will then help you to know how to apply light and shade. A good article here. Light and shade : not knowing how to sum it up in a few words, I found some useful links :

[link] [link] [link] these three articles talk about the same thing, but maybe if you look at what else their authors have in stock you'll find something different or explained in a way that suits you better.

Anatomy :

Once you know how to build a human being with tubes and rectangles, you can go into more detail about anatomy. You can start with the head alone, practising drawing it from all angles, with different characteristics, different expressions etc, then arms, then torso, etc and then gradually moving on to the whole human body. Study the skeleton and musculature, it sounds annoying but it really changes everything. Even if it's possible to know how to position a character correctly without it, the result will inevitably be better with it and it'll make your task easier and drawing skeletons is great fun! This doesn't mean that you have to learn every single piece by heart, just that you know enough to be able to place the bumps and hollows in the right places. a good article for beginners, giving the balance needed to avoid being overwhelmed by the study of anatomy. I suggest as an exercise : with the help of references and tutorials, draw a character 4 times in an identical posture, except that first you only do the skeleton, then the musculature, then a normal nude, and finally with clothes to familiarise yourself with the behaviour of the fabrics. (The folds and drapes are, I think, a sub-chapter of the anatomy part because clothes.) about folds and drapery [link] [link]

Colour theory :

Basically, it's what colour you get when you mix these two together, or which colour is best for shadowing this other one, or to produce a certain mood over the whole illustration, I have to limit my palette to these colours and so on. Again, I can't summarise this easily but it's a big important part. Just type colour theory in google or pinterest and you'll find so many good tutorials. Note: again I think that, colour and light / shade are connected and should be learned simultaneously.

[link] [link]

Perspective :

For this part it's easy to broke it in steps. Start by practising with a single vanishing point to understand the principle, then two points, then three, then the fish-eye effect. I forced myself to do the spiral staircase exercise with the perspective, it was terrible but once you've done it and understood what you've done then you're good. Better, you can test your understanding of perspective by having fun reproducing Escher's impossible constructions. I love his work. 1 point [link][link] 2 points [link][link] 3 points [link][link] [Escher]

Composition :

It's one of the last things I learnt and I can really guarantee that there was a before and an after to it. Composition is one of the fundamental that will make you say: I'm an illustrator, in the sense that I know how to tell a story, evoke a feeling with a single drawing. [link] [link] [link] [link]

To come back to more general things, accept that it can take time, it's OK if it's not great at first, we've all been there. Don't put pressure on yourself and don't make yourself feel guilty by comparing yourself to others. Be curious too, look for new challenges, and always do it for fun. Finding a community in which you can make artist friends with whom you can share projects can also be great, because you feed off each other and that helps to keep you motivated. Don't be afraid of failure, failure is good, failure is your friend. Because once you've identified the reason why you think your drawing is a failure or not good enough, you'll remember to pay attention the next time or it'll motivate you to do more training on that point. Knowing things is good, but turning them into reflexes is better.

Here it is, I hope it helps, most of the resources I learnt with were in French so I quickly tried to find the English equivalent, I checked them quickly, but I think it's ok. And, the links I've found are just entry points, in some cases you'll need to find other resources, like anatomy for example, but just type anatomy tuto on pinterest and see what seems easiest for you to start with. aaand this is the end, I think.

#ask #text post #every time I have a question like that I take the outline of the previous one and add a little something to it. #After some times I might have enough to write a book x)

To help your website visitors easily navigate through your site, design it so that it becomes easy to find "stuff." When you have a simple site that makes it easy to locate information, you keep your visitors there much longer. If you make it difficult for them, then they will get frustrated and leave. Build your website using a content management system. Knowing how to build a website using just HTML and CSS is good foundation knowledge, but this can only produce a static website. Web design has evolved into providing dynamic content. If you couple your coding skills with the use of a content management system, you can practically build any type of website that you desire.

Nonviolent Communication Doesn’t Work with Narcissists

Nonviolent communication is a great tool when it works. When it doesn’t, it’s a test.

Editorial Disclaimer: This article reflects the opinions and perspectives of the author. Narcissism is a mental condition that requires Psychological treatment. Abused victims need professional treatment. The contents of this post can only be taken as words to seek professional help. It does not represent the publication’s point of view nor implies our endorsement.

Nonviolent communication is a way of stating your feelings and requests to another person that facilitates compassion and connection. Whenever I know clients or friends who struggle with communicating with their loved ones on difficult topics, the four parts of nonviolent communication give them a game plan for that conversation. It’s a great tool that helps them assert their needs without veering into distractions and mudslinging.

Author’s own diagram

Nonviolent communication (or NVC for short) offers a bit more structure than the standard advice of using “I” when describing our feelings; it also distinguishes itself from violent communication that may jump to accusations and “always” and “never” statements. Violent communication can sound like: “You’re such a slob! I’m always doing the dishes and everything around the house even though we both work!”

Same request for help in NVC: “I feel disappointed and resentful when I’m alone cleaning up after dinner, especially when we both work and I cook. I’d like to feel that we’re a team and would enjoy cooking more if you could help with washing up.” (Feelings, observation, value, and request in that order.)

When we state our needs and/or values along with our request (eg. “Could you do the dishes every time I cook?”), it also sets the parameters of the conversation so that the other person doesn’t need to guess what we want. It stays out of exaggerations and statements that can put the other person on the defensive.

When two people care about each other, they care about each other’s perspectives, values, feelings, and needs. Negotiations are balanced and open. NVC works well between healthy people in good-faith relationships.

It bombs with narcissists.

The first time I observed this was when the nonviolent communicator was a five-year-old. She had been merrily singing along to a favorite song when, obnoxiously, her grandfather and senior (by at least 6 decades) mockingly sang nonsense words to the same song and laughed. The young girl stopped and said to him: “When you make fun of my music, I feel like you’re making fun of me.”

“I’m not making fun of you!” was the immediate reply.

The five-year-old remained remarkably calm. “I didn’t say you were, I said that it felt like it.”

“I wasn’t making fun of you!”

“You were making the song sound bad.” The conversation kept circling the older man’s denial until the five-year-old huffed and made her request: “Well, please stop doing it.”

The exchange didn’t end there but that’s the gist. I’ve seen more examples since, but this one stuck in my head for years. I knew the girl well, and to hear the NVC script out of her (and at 5 years old) made my jaw drop.

So if a child can practice nonviolent communication, adults have no excuse not to practice it. Trouble is, all four components of NVC fall flat when attempted with narcissists. Here’s what you can expect.

1. Narcissists will not agree with your observation of reality.

Fragile but inflated egos depend on being exemplary and above criticism, so narcissists will contest your version of reality, especially if your observations imply they’re capable of fault.

Denial and gaslighting will be go-to responses, even if screencaps or witnesses are on your side. They may also bring up irrelevant or irrational counterpoints: “How can you imply I’m selfish when I just gave the cleaner so much vacation time?”

The narcissist can do no wrong and needs to maintain their self-image of savior or hero. Barring that, they can settle for playing martyr or victim, so be prepared for DARVO, when they level all accusations and faults upon you.

DARVO: If You Know a Narcissist, You Need to Know This Term

You’re not crazy, but the narcissist needs you to think you are.

medium.com

2. Narcissists will invalidate your feelings.

“You’re oversensitive” is an easy one. Or, they will argue that you are wrong because you’ve stupidly misinterpreted their actions — or putdowns, or text messages, or backhanded insults.

Another possibility (much like the accusation that you’re oversensitive) will be to control the conversation with explanations of your wrongness because how feelings are only for the weak and feeble-minded. Except when it’s their feelings, of course!

Example: “Only babies and woke idiots are going to be offended about what I just said!”

Narcissists will use any argument or manipulative tactic to let you know that your feelings don’t matter.

3. Narcissists will argue with your needs and values.

People with narcissistic tendencies just fancy themselves better than everyone. If you have different interests, values, ideals, or needs from them, they see this as evidence of your intellectual, moral, spiritual, and even genetic deficiency.

Work-life balance? That’s just laziness! Privacy? You must be antisocial or have something to hide! Self-care? For self-indulgent degenerates! Creative or unusual pursuits? Frivolous and unproductive wastes of time! Struggling with health or financial difficulties? You must have done something stupid or it’s karma!

These judgments can flip-flop or be hypocritical (the criticisms never apply to them), as differences threaten the sense of specialness or superiority they cling to desperately. They are not content with acknowledging differences; it’s all about their superiority.

Even if you may share things in common, you can expect there to be some hint that you’re going about it wrong.

4. Narcissists will undermine your boundaries and requests.

Anyone who’s spent any amount of regular time around narcissists will lose sense of their boundaries and personhood — or lack them altogether, as children of narcissists often do. It’s can be a struggle for them to articulate their needs because they were not encouraged to identify, prioritize, or voice them — especially when it was deemed in “defiance” of their parents.

If anything, many children and partners of narcissists often feel shame for having needs because they are diminished and punished for them.

If you suggest a route or ask for a narcissistic driver to slow down, they may speed up or drive even more recklessly because you “dared” to tell them how to drive.

If you request a narcissist to trust you with more independence and time alone, they may impose more rules and checks on you.

Small asks may be granted, but more frequently, the narcissist conveniently forgets after some time so that things go back to the way they were — with them in control.

Face-Saving Culture

Some cultures have practically enshrined ways to coddle narcissists and hide or normalize narcissistic abuse. Variations of “don’t make them angry” (with “them” meaning abusers or bullies) put the responsibility and blame on victims for the transgressions they endure.

Confucian, hierarchical, and some religious cultures have rules about not contradicting one’s elders even when they’re wrong or hurtful. “They’re doing this for your good” is often trotted out to defend those privileged by generation; Women and children frequently bear the emotional burden of men and/or parents lacking self-regulation, self-reflection, and self-responsibility for their mistakes and hurtful behaviors.

Funny all these movies feature characters who are POC. We know.

Cultural norms created and perpetuated by abusers and victims such as “don’t talk back”, “don’t disrespect your elders”, and “they’ve eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice” have codified and restricted communication in ways that can make addressing abuses of power nigh impossible.

“Face-saving” is essentially a set of communication rules in East Asian culture that keeps powerful and older individuals protected from embarrassment.

Translated example of a face-saving statement: “I’m sorry I displeased and inconvenienced you to the extent that you had to instruct me (with abusive language and actions).” Bracketed words usually implied rather than verbalized.

Narcissists have fully exploited these cultural norms to place blame and shame on their targets and victims. Instead of “there’s no excuse for abuse”, face-saving cultures frequently save privileged people from embarrassment and accountability by turning it into a conversation about respect and gratitude, which flows ever upwards. It’s the same with apologies. (Hence the meme!) Respect, dignity, and the benefit of the doubt rarely trickle down to subordinates and children.

Nonviolent communication may thus fail or be distorted in certain contexts, such as those with strict cultural hierarchies or power differentials. It’s not necessarily a flaw on NVC, but it just works best between parties in a healthy and mutually respectful relationship.

Ask vs Guess Culture and Nonviolent Communication

NVC is much easier in one of them. Guess which.

medium.com

The Case for Nonviolent Communication

NVC remains one of the best ways to initiate tougher conversations and keep them focused on solutions and meeting needs. NVC has been described as a way of facilitating requests between parties. When practiced by all, it keeps triggering statements and accusations to a minimum and focuses on constructive words and actions.

NVC comes with a learning curve for those who struggle with identifying their feelings and needs, but it’s worth learning as a life and self-care skill.

In situations where NVC does not work, it can be a useful tool (especially for codependents) to “suss out” unspoken cultural or power dynamics, and/or narcissistic behavior in others.

I hope that abuse survivors can benefit from nonviolent communication: Sometimes it’s not that you didn’t communicate “perfectly” or clearly, but that the other person has no interest in hearing you. And that’s not a “you” thing.

What to read to become a better writer

Five texts that explain how to write simply and well

This article is part of our Summer reads series. Visit the full collection for book lists, guest essays and more seasonal distractions.

Editor’s update: The Economist has published a revised version of its style guide.

The first words are the hardest. For many of us writing is a slog. Words drip with difficulty onto the page—and frequently they seem to be the wrong ones, in the wrong order. Yet few pause to ask why writing is hard, why what we write may be bad, or even what is meant by “bad”. Fortunately for anyone seeking to become a better writer, the works recommended here provide enlightenment and reassurance. Yes, writing is hard. But if you can first grasp the origins and qualities of bad writing, you may learn to diagnose and cure problems in your own prose (keeping things simple helps a lot). Similarly heartening is the observation that most first drafts are second-rate, so becoming a skilled rewriter is the thing. These five works are excellent sources of insight and inspiration.

Politics and the English Language. By George Orwell. Available on the Orwell Foundation’s website

Starting with Orwell’s essay may seem as clichéd as the hackneyed phrases he derides in it. Published in 1946, this polemic against poor and perfidious writing will be familiar to many. But its advice on how to write is as apposite now as then. (Besides, it is short and free.) Orwell analyses the unoriginal, “dying” metaphors that still haunt the prose of academics, politicians, professionals and hacks. He lambasts the “meaningless words” and “pretentious diction” of his day; many of the horrors he cites remain common. To save writers from regurgitating these, Orwell proposes six now-canonical rules. The first five boil down to: prefer short, everyday words and the active voice, cut unneeded words and strive for fresh imagery. The sixth—“break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous”—displays the difficulty of pinning down something as protean as language. But this has not stopped others trying.

Style: Lessons in Clarity and Grace. By Joseph M. Williams and Joseph Bizup. Pearson Education; 246 pages; $66.65 and £43.99

In “Style”, Joseph Williams, who taught English at the University of Chicago, instructs writers on how to revise their scribblings into something clearer, more concise and coherent. (Aptly for a text about rewriting, it is the latest in a long line of reworkings of Williams’s teachings on the subject, which appeared under various titles.) Unlike Orwell, who devised high-level rules for writers to wield by instinct, Williams proposes nuanced “principles” and shows how to apply them. Whereas, for instance, Orwell exhorted writers to “never use the passive where you can use the active”, Williams explains how passives can sometimes help create a sense of flow. This forms part of his coverage of “cohesion” and “coherence”, which could upend the way you write. Insightful, too, is Williams’s guidance on pruning prose and on the ills and virtues of nominalisations—nouns formed from verbs (as “nominalisation” is from “nominalise”), which often send sentences awry. Such technical details, summary sections and practice exercises make “Style” the most textbook-like work on this list. It may also be the most useful.

On Writing Well: The Classic Guide to Writing Nonfiction. By William Zinsser. HarperCollins; 321 pages; $17.99 and £13.99

Less overtly practical than “Style” but far more fun to read is “On Writing Well”. William Zinsser, who was an American journalist and teacher, is a witty commentator on the writer’s craft with a talent for aphorisms (eg, “the secret of good writing is to strip every sentence to its cleanest components”). He embraces slippery subjects like “rhythm” and “voice” that tend to defy rules or principles. But he purveys practical wisdom, too, diagnosing stylistic blunders, exploring genres from memoir to business writing, and analysing passages from well-known works and his own journalism. Zinsser is always encouraging. Introducing a marked-up extract from drafts of “On Writing Well”, a spider’s web of self-edits, he counsels: “Very few sentences come out right the first time, or even the third time. Remember this in moments of despair.” Zinsser also gives fellow writers much to emulate. His paragraph-ending sentences are a marvel.

The Sense of Style: The Thinking Person’s Guide to Writing in the 21st Century. By Steven Pinker. Penguin; 368 pages; and $18 and £10.99

An expert on words and brains, Steven Pinker wants to help writers write better by getting them into the minds of their readers. The celebrated psycholinguist argues that “the curse of knowledge” is the biggest cause of bad writing: like children, writers forget that others often do not know what they know. Bad writers tend to dwell on irrelevant points and make logical connections that are logical only to them. Their prose—the type beloved of academics, bureaucrats and businessfolk—abounds in abstract nouns and luxuriates in long sentences. By contrast, good writing (“classic style”, in Mr Pinker’s phrase) assembles concrete words into straightforward sentences that readers find simple to grasp. Why should this be so? Using striking and funny examples, Mr Pinker shows how working memory, which stores syntactic constructions until they are complete, is easily swamped. In closing, he joins the battle over English usage, as our full review of “The Sense of Style” describes.

Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage. Merriam-Webster; 989 pages; $29.95

Every writer needs a reference book to look up troublesome issues of grammar and usage; no one has memorised them all. The quality of such books has improved in recent years, but one from the 1990s has earned its keep since then. Merriam-Webster (mwdeu) is America’s best-known dictionary publisher. This guide contains not exactly definitions, though, but mini-essays: on individual words (can “data” be singular?), confusingly similar ones (such as “comprise” and “compose”) and grammatical conundrums (such as the split infinitive, dangling modifiers and so on).

What distinguishes mwdeu is its relentless empiricism. Where a debatable claim about correct usage is made, it surveys the history of other guides and their recommendations, as well as going to Merriam-Webster’s huge bank of citations from literature, non-fiction and journalism. In many cases, a proposed rule (such as the ban on split infinitives) is shown to be baseless. But in other cases, the guide is conservative. On the “comma fault” (joining two independent clauses with nothing more than a comma), mwdeu finds it in some great authors’ literary work, but warns readers that “you probably should not try the device unless you are very sure of what you want it to accomplish.” Good sense all round.■

The Economist offers its own advice on writing in “Writing With Style”, our revised in-house style guide, published in 2023; in the Johnson column on language; and in Economist Education’s course on business writing.

Free tools can help. To discover whether your writing is “lean” or in “heart attack” territory, try The Writer’s Diet. This website tests how bloated passages are by adjectives, prepositions and so on. Or paste your prose into the oed Text Visualiser, from Oxford University Press, to uncover the origins of your words. Many of English’s most concrete and vivid words derive from Anglo-Saxon. These tend also to be short and punchy—echoing Winston Churchill, The Economist once argued (entirely in monosyllables) that “short words are best”.

The role of user feedback in determining and improving your MVP

Introduction

Developing a good product is a matter of meticulous planning and execution. One strategy that has gained considerable acceptance in software development is the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) idea. An MVP is a vital product version that lets developers evaluate its marketability and gather valuable information. In this article, we'll examine the role of user feedback during the MVP development process. We'll explore how user feedback influences the product's direction and highlight the importance of a dependable MVP development company that can provide high-quality MVP development solutions. Let's get started!

Understanding Your MVP

An MVP (Minimum Viable Product) is a critical concept in product development focused on creating a simplified product version with the essential capabilities and features. Here's what you need to be aware of about MVP development:

A. Definition and the purpose of an MVP

An MVP is the simplest product version that lets you evaluate its market viability.

It is designed to address your intended audience's primary issue or needs.

B. Key features and functions of an MVP

An MVP comprises only the necessary elements to provide the best user value.

It must be user-friendly, easy to use, and demonstrate the product's primary value proposition.

Additional features may be added in subsequent iterations based on feedback from users.

C. Benefits of building an MVP before a complete product is released

Reduced development time and costs by focusing on the key features will allow you to launch your product more quickly and at a lower price.

Validation of the product's market fit: MVP development allows you to test your product's hypothesis and validate its market.

Early feedback from users: When publishing an MVP, you will be able to gather valuable feedback from your users and make informed decisions regarding the next steps in development.

The ability to mitigate risks: Creating an MVP lets you detect potential problems or pitfalls early on and make any necessary adjustments.

To ensure the success of MVP development, think about joining forces with an MVP development firm or utilizing MVP development services that take advantage of their knowledge and experience in creating successful MVPs.

The importance of user feedback

Feedback from users plays a vital role in creating the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and determining the product's direction. Here's why it's crucial:

A. Feedback from users as an invaluable source of information:

User feedback provides direct insight into how users feel about and interact with the MVP.

It helps determine what works well and needs improvement for more informed decision-making.

B. Identifying the pain points and areas for improvement with feedback:

User feedback can help identify issues, user frustrations, and areas needing attention.

It lets MVP developers prioritize improvements based on actual user experiences.

C. The importance of user feedback in influencing product direction:

Users' Feedback helps align the product to user needs, preferences, and expectations.

Please consider the number of people who provide similar feedback to measure the impact.

Be aware of the potential effects on user experience and general value proposition.

C. The importance of prioritizing feedback following impact and feasibility:

Examine the potential impact of each feedback item on customer experience and business goals.

Examine the possibility of adopting the modifications in the MVP's development timeline and resources.

The MVP must balance the urgency of addressing crucial issues with the long-term strategic goals of the MVP.

By organizing the process of evaluating, prioritizing, and collecting feedback effectively, you can concentrate on addressing the most significant issues and implementing improvements that will positively influence the success of your MVP development. Make sure you continue to refine your product in response to user feedback to develop a user-friendly product that ensures the success of your MVP development company or MVP development services.

Enhancing and Reiterating Your MVP

Regarding MVP (Minimum Viable Product) development, user feedback is essential to refine and improve the product. By leveraging user feedback, you can pinpoint and address issues, implement updates and changes, and verify improvements through user testing. Here's how to effectively improve and refine your MVP:

The Best Tips For Design On The Web

It's crucial for new designers of websites to learn the fundamentals of their craft, so they can come up with attractive and effective websites. Fortunately, there are hundreds of valuable resources--this article included--that can contribute to your knowledge of basic design principles. What follows are some basic concepts necessary for good web design. Always mark files that must be opened in an external program with an icon. Many sites host PDF files, and less commonly, DOC files, that must be opened in Foxit Reader and Microsoft Word/OpenOffice, respectively. These files should be marked with an icon representing the file type, and a link to download the appropriate viewer if the user does not have it. If you want help with your web design, look at purchasing on of many site design programs available on the market. These programs are often easy to use and can quickly design an attractive website for you. An unattractive website will not attract visitors. Keep your topics separated. Each topic should be put on separate pages. This not only eliminates customer confusion, but it also helps you out with search engine crawlers and your site rankings. To help your website visitors easily navigate through your site, design it so that it becomes easy to find "stuff." When you have a simple site that makes it easy to locate information, you keep your visitors there much longer. If meilleur site pronostic foot make it difficult for them, then they will get frustrated and leave. Build your website using a content management system. Knowing how to build a website using just HTML and CSS is good foundation knowledge, but this can only produce a static website. Web design has evolved into providing dynamic content. If you couple your coding skills with the use of a content management system, you can practically build any type of website that you desire. You should always put in the effort to make a customized error page for your site; this page should include a basic sitemap that links users to the major sections of your website.

With so many articles and a vast amount of information floating around out there, it can sometimes be grueling work to find the best starting point. This article is a good starting point, as it contains the basics of good web design.

What Are Blending Modes In ON1?

If you are trying ON1 Photo RAW, the ON1 plug-ins like ON1 Effects or ON1 HDR, or upgrading your ON1 software to a newer version, please consider using my affiliate link. There is no extra cost to you and it helps support ON1 tutorials like this one. Ready to buy? Use the offer code SDP20 at checkout and SAVE 20%!

This article is the first in a mini-series about the blending modes in ON1 Photo RAW and ON1 Effects.

Introduction

In this series of articles, I will explain what blending modes are and in what scenarios I use them in my photography. I will not spend time explaining the mathematics that make blending modes work. There are plenty of other articles on the web that explain the math. And while academically interesting, a scientific explanation of how the pixel modifications are done - at least for me - doesn’t help me create more compelling images.

Blending modes can be challenging because they are not as predictable as more classic adjustments or layering techniques. Sometimes results are reasonably predictable, and other times they are not. This series of articles will give you the practical knowledge of the general characteristics of a blending mode and when to consider using it in your image creation. I will spend time on the blending modes I find most useful (hint, hint … it’s not all of them, though that doesn’t mean a mode I don’t cover can’t be useful to you).

What Is A Blending Mode?

In short, a blending mode changes the way a filter or layer interacts at the pixel layer. I know… that’s a dry explanation. Let’s unpack that. Consider an ON1 Effects stack of filters. Each filter is an adjustment made to your photo. The adjustments are applied in order, from the bottom of the stack to the top of the stack. It’s like an assembly line or a conveyer belt. The modified pixels from one filter are fed into the next filter in the stack. A blending mode is an additional level of change applied to an adjustment. Layered workflows operate similarly. Changing the blending mode on a layer alters how it interacts - or blends - with the layer beneath it.

Where Do I Find Blending Modes In ON1?

Blending modes are available in many places in ON1 Photo RAW and ON1 Effects. The rule of thumb - if an adjustment has a gear menu, it has a blending mode setting. This includes:

Individual layers

Individual Effects filters

The entire Effects filter stack

Local Adjustments

I tend to use blending modes with Layers and Effects filters, occasionally with a Local Adjustment. I have not found the need to use a blending mode for the entire filter stack.

What Are The Types Of Blending Modes?

ON1 has 24 blending modes available. In addition to the Normal (default) mode, the blending options are loosely grouped based on how they modify pixels.

Darken an image: The Darken, Multiply, Color Burn, Linear Burn, and Darker Color modes

Lighten an image: The Lighten, Screen, Color Dodge, Linear Dodge (Add), and Lighter Color modes

Adjust contrast: Overlay, Soft Light, Hard Light, Vivid Light, Linear Light, Pin Light, and Hard Mix modes

Specialty needs: Difference, Exclusion, Hue, Saturation, Color, Luminosity

Yes, that’s a lot of modes! I think of them by their broad categories I’ve noted above. Each has a place, and some I find are much more useful than others. This series will build on that premise.

When Do I Use A Blending Mode?

In general, blending modes are more often used in layered workflows. Most of the blending modes are useful for texture blending. Others are helpful for composite work, creating double-exposure looks, and creative color adjustments. While there is a Textures filter in ON1 Effects, I prefer to do my texture blending in layers and use the blending modes to refine the way a texture interacts with my base image.

However, the blending modes are also accessible and useful in a straight-up set of Effects filter adjustments. I will leverage blending modes for an extra pop of contrast and color grading. You’ll see examples of both of these using several different blending modes in this series.

Up Next

The first blending mode we explore is the default mode of Normal.

Apple's interim CEO Steve Jobs used the publicity to market the computers elsewhere while lobbying to have the restrictions removed. government deemed the "supercomputer" a "weapon".

" Mirrored Drive Doors" (" MDD") - This version incorporated the DDR architecture of the Xserve, but heat and fan noise issues led it to being referred to as the "wind tunnel"įor about a year after its late 1999 debut, the Power Mac G4 could not be marketed in the mainland of the People's Republic of China, as the U.S.

" Quicksilver" - This version upgraded specs and simplified the case design into a cleaner look.

" Cube" - This short-lived version reduced the volume in a 7-inch cube and boasted 3.5 gigaflops performance.

Updates later added gigabit ethernet, digital audio, and Apple's new rewritable DVD " SuperDrive".

" Graphite" - The first "graphite" version came in two variants: an early "Yikes!" PCI-only logic board that was based on the pre-existing "blue & white" Power Mac G3, while a more advanced "Sawtooth" logic board introduced AGP graphics.

I suspect a macOS or system firmware update helped to resolve these issues with our early SSDs neither of which will be available for a G5 system. I know we had a lot of issues with SSDs when we first started using them years ago and then the issues just disappeared. SSDs need to partitioned on 4K boundaries (usually the partition starts at 1M) in order to get the best performance from an SSD, otherwise the SSD can be as slow as a hard drive.

The other concern is the OS needs to know how to work with an SSD. Check the OWC website to see if they have any information on SSD upgrades for the G5.

Stay away from the Crucial BX500 series though. I've used the Crucial SSDs in some older Intel Macs which use a SATA II controller without any issues, but only on systems as old as 2009. If you want to try an SSD, then I would suggest either a Crucial MX500 series or an OWC Mercury Electra 3G SSD. Here is an excellent article detailing the performance benefits of proper partition alignment for both hard drives and especially SSDs and does a much better job than my attempted summary.Īlmost all of the current SSDs use a SATA III controller which in theory should just work, but in practice many SATA III SSDs have issues auto negotiating the SATA link speed which means some SSDs just won't work. Aligning the partitions also prevents excessive wear on the SSD. If the partitions are mis-aligned, then it requires the SSD to work harder to save the data. If the partitions are aligned on the 4K boundaries, then it matches perfectly with the internal drive structure allowing for faster (optimal) writes to the internal SSD NAND memory. All data internal to the SSD requires saving data in 4K blocks. It is a bit hard to explain, but the internal structure of the SSD NAND memory is organized into 4K blocks. If you could rephrase in everyday language that would be apreciated. Im afraid I do not understand this sentence: SSDs need to partitioned on 4K boundaries (usually the partition starts at 1M) in order to get the best performance from an SSD, otherwise the SSD can be as slow as a hard drive. Here is an article which provides more details about the 512B to 4K block size used by newer hard drives and somewhat applies to SSDs. The drives usually keep the 512B block size reference for backwards compatibility, but it still might cause problems with such an older system.Īs for the SSD not being recognized, it could also be related to this default block size. The more recent drives have also changed their default block size from 512 bytes to 4,096 bytes so that drives larger than 2TB are possible, but even smaller drives can have this larger default block size. It has been so long since I used a G5 that the maximum drive size could be much smaller. Im in the UK and no one sells OWC here, including Ebay.Ī SATA III hard drive should work without issue, but you will need to find a smaller sized drive since I would imagine the G5 won't be able to access an internal drive larger than 2TB. SATA 1 hard drives work no problem, but they are no longer available, hence the need for an SSD. I forgot to say that I'v tried many SATA lll SSD's and none were recognised by the G5.
