DP Essentials #05 - Improving "Presence" in Digital Images

An interesting report by the author of QImage about the effect of mosaic CCDs (CCDs with Bayer pattern) on image sharpness. He describes a filter that applies different levels of sharpening based on color differences, thereby compensating for the sharpness differences between color ranges that result from color interpolation. Unfortunately, there is no software available for Mac OS X that offers a filter of this type. The original article can be found here.

Combat Robots

Actually depressing when visions regarding war see the exchange of humans for machines, but not the abolition of war itself...

Particularly depressing when you think about the fact that these combat robots will certainly only exist on the side of high-tech states - and today they don't fight against their equals, but against technically much less equipped countries. Since no domestic soldiers would be endangered, there would certainly be another inhibition threshold removed for waging wars. It only costs the lives of the enemy.

Splasm Software - Brightness Control

Anyone like me who has a calibrated CRT monitor knows the problem: when you're not doing image editing, the monitor is set way too bright, especially as it gets darker. But you can't adjust the contrast control or especially the brightness setting — the calibration only works correctly if the luminance is set properly!

This little utility comes to the rescue: just start it and you get a small graphical slider with which you can adjust the screen brightness. Works splendidly. And as soon as you're working with images, you can stop it beforehand (and give your eyes some time to adjust, so your brain can adapt and everything doesn't look wrong).

Here's the original article.
