![]() Develop is for Raw processing and Edit for Photoshop-style editing – both make perfect sense as Modes. Manage is great, but Photos and View would possibly be better combined in Manage because they feel and behave more like viewing functions that should be within Manage rather than modes in their own right. There are five Modes in total – Manage, Photos, View, Develop and Edit. Once ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate 2020 is installed it’s worth watching a handful of the tutorial videos and feature overviews on the ACDSee website because these are invaluable for getting an overview of the software so you can hit the ground running once you begin organising, processing and manipulating your images. If you’re starting from the ground up, however, any editing software will always have a steep learning curve. But overall, it’s extremely easy software to use and if you’re familiar with other editing software you’ll get to grips with the interface quickly. Like any software you use for the first time, the layout, interface and controls take a little getting used to. (Image credit: James Abbott) Interface and usability The Manage mode in ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate 2020. The software is all about speeding up the photographers’ workflow, and this is certainly the case in the respect of image cataloguing and bulk processing. Taking this one step further, Actions can be recorded and played back to speed up the application of repetitive tasks. You can also create, share and import LUTs, and create presets that can be applied to single or multiple images. Then there’s the improvements to the ability to add text to images, with the capability to add text as Layers and apply character and style control. Other new additions include improved Face detection and facial recognition with a name suggestion feature when the software recognises the same faces across multiple images. In the latest update to the software there have been a number of improvements including HDR processing, focus stacking and a Blended Clone Tool which is a Healing Brush type of tool. Although if this were combined into the Develop Mode for Raw processing it would arguably make the software even better because this would increase the USP of ACDSee. The ability to edit images using layers, adjustment layers, filters and masks is also a great addition. Software subscriptions remain a contentious subject and this offer of choice is a great way to appeal to everyone. And of course, their preferred way of paying for software. The latter benefits from ongoing updates, whereas the perpetual license has a finite level of support and updates, but the great thing here is that photographers can select the licensing option that suits their budget. ![]() Unusually for software of this type, ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate 2020 is available with a perpetual license for $149.99/£119.99 (though check the website for special offers) or, through a subscription model costing $89/£71.99/year. ![]() in a single package, and the advantage of Luminar 4 is that its’s available for both Mac and Windows.

The Photopills YouTube channel is very helpful too, it has great video tutorials and documents free to download for all types of astrophotography photo shoots. It also includes a virtual reality view for any given date, which is especially useful if you ever want to do Milky Way, Astro, Moon or Sun photography. For this, I use the Photopills app, one of the best free apps I’ve found for astrophotography.

The photos were then stacked to create the final scene.ĭuring lockdown, I practised this technique in my own back garden. The Silchester Star Trails photo (above) took a lot of planning and waiting for the perfect, clear, moon-free night as I needed at least two hours to take all 162 photos that make up the final image, some of which were light painted (paths and church windows) by using selective light painting. Another thing I needed to know was how bright the moon might be. This helped me see in advance which nights and times the sky might be clear enough to venture out. To help plan an evening window of opportunity, another app I used is Clear Outside. Waiting for the right conditions Deciding when to spend an evening out taking photos is probably the hardest piece of the process as weather conditions and moon visibility change every day.įinding the right conditions can take days, weeks or even months. I took a few test shots and from these, I got a rough idea of the best location. ![]() The interval between photos is 2 seconds. Star trails over Silchester Church, Silchester, Hampshire. Once I knew the location of Polaris, I had to find a good spot to set up my camera, one that gave me both a good view of the church and the open sky. This will pretty much be the same position day or night at any time during the year. Then simply move the phone and follow the arrow on the screen until the app shows the location of the star in the sky, in my case Polaris. Using this app, you can enter a star name in the search bar, select it from the results and then select ‘Directions always above horizon’. The one I use on my iPhone is called Night Sky. Luckily, these days you can find apps for your phone to help with almost anything. I walk around Silchester nearly every day with my dog, Bob, and had walked through the churchyard many times.Īs my main goal was the alignment of Polaris with the top of the church spire’s weathervane ‘golden fish’, the first thing I had to know was the location of Polaris. At the time Christmas was coming up, the idea was to create an image of the church spire with Polaris aligned as close as possible to the spire and then capture the rotating star trails with as much colour as possible. The first and most important thing I had to decide on was a location. ![]() Discover the right way to capture them in all their celestial splendour, with a bit of light painting, following Duncan Wallace‘s easy guide.

The inequality in life expectancy is large in the US, the difference between the poorest 1 and the richest 1 in the US is 14.6 years. We also found greater effect sizes in countries with lower health expenditures per capita and in those with lower life expectancies (a finding that has been noted elsewhere 10), indicating that.For example, Zimbabwe and Zambia’s longevity has increased by 38 percent since the year 2000. However, there has been a significant improvement in a lot of these countries and their life expectancy numbers. Compared to life expectancy overall in OECD countries in 2018 (the mid-point year), only Mexico was lower at 77.9 years. Living conditions dramatically affect life spans and are a major reason why these countries have the lowest life expectancy. Female life expectancy at birth in England in 2017–19 for the 10% most deprived local areas was 78.7 years.In 2017–2019 (the time period where data are available) female life expectancy at birth in England was 83.2 years, with a gap of 7.7 years between the most and least deprived areas.

It probably doesn’t help the late-game framerate chugging, either (which, to be fair, affects every Civ game). Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution and Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet have been added to the Xbox One's backwards compatible library. That forces you to constantly build entirely new units to sit on top of the existing defenders in every city, which creates more hassle when it comes to finding the unit you want. So if you’ve got a lone warrior, you can’t build two more warriors to make an army, and you can’t disband the existing warrior for gold, either. So what’s the point? Even more annoying: you can’t pay gold to upgrade outdated units, like when warriors are replaced in the build menu by legions. There isn’t even the possibility of mixing and matching different unit types into a squad to complement each other’s weaknesses. That’s fine, but after the first few battles I started to wonder why these completely ineffective single units exist at all if they don’t stand a chance against anything but an enemy settler. That's as much of the world as you can see at one time.įor example: In order to be effective in combat, you have to combine three identical units, such as three warriors, into one super army unit that combines their attack and defense stats. That simplification works pretty well, but some of the other steps taken to minimize micromanagement end up creating some pretty dull busywork. ![]() You don’t have to worry about things like improving terrain, because most of the improvements to your cities’ resources come from automatic upgrades to technology instead of managing workers. Once you’ve got the hang of things, it does become pretty easy to control an expanding army and empire of cities.

Sid Meiers Civilization Revolution (Greatest Hits) for Xbox360, Xbox One In our warehouse. However, if this is your first Civ Rev game, it might take a few games to learn crucial aspects of combat and trade that the tutorial and the surprisingly sparse Civilopedia don’t bother to tell you. Bonuses like the Romans’ half-price roads and the Mongols’ ability to conquer barbarian camps and turn them into free settlements really set them apart. Civilization Revolution 2 certainly does have trace amounts of that just one more turn momentum and tension, and it has the trademark hilariously warlike Gandhi, but it’s a pale shadow of. Your starting units and the few that you will gain from research are more than enough.Picking one of the 18 nicely varied leaders, ranging from Abraham Lincoln to Genghis Khan to a slightly disturbingly sexed-up version of Catherine the Great, and jumping onto a randomized map of colorful terrain squares works well with the iPad’s touch controls.
