![]() ![]() Would I recommend Video Enhance? For the right kind of super specific shot, it's a little better than the alternatives and it's cheap enough to give it a try. I don't think there's really anyone else in the video space with that kind of product. For 99.9% of shots, the scaler and denoise tools in Resolve are going to give you more control and a better result. The shots I used it on were wide scenic shots that had to be significantly cropped in. It's a really really specific use case where it's worth screwing with. I was impressed with their photo upscaler, so I bought Video Enhance just to play around with it, and since have maybe used it on a couple of shots. The further you get from that use case, the less impressive Topaz is, IMO. If you are trying to get that little extra resolution on a landscape photo so you can print it bigger than you probably should, the Topaz AI works remarkably well. I've used the Topaz suite quite a bit for stills, not so much for video. Looking for something more local?

Make a note of (or copy) the Margin Control values and select CropBox from the menu. You can check its accuracy by looking at the Cropped Page Size values underneath the preview image. Watch the Margin Controls values and you'll see them change to the position and size of the crop box that would be required to trim the page to its finished size. The Crop Pages Dialogue Box will open showing the precise position of the crop box you have just created.įrom the drop-down menu in the top left corner, select TrimBox. Drag a small rectangle anywhere on the PDF document page and then double-click inside it. Once the file is open, select the CROP TOOL. If I want to send it as a proof without the marks, and trimmed to the edge, instead of creating a new PDF document from InDesign or Quark XPress, I go straight to Acrobat. I often have to trim a PDF file which contains crop marks and bleed. Before I get into them, however, I will just mention the CROP TOOL. The ones I usually tend to use to edit PDF documents are TOUCHUP TEXT TOOL and TOUCHUP OBJECT TOOL, so these are the ones I'll focus on. Select TOOLS/ADVANCED EDITING and you'll see a list of tools (as shown below). When you've created a PDF file from your layout (see Business Card Layout Design and PDFX1a Creation), open it in Acrobat. In short, this is a fairly typical, simple layout.

One method to better edit PDF documents is to use Adobe Acrobat X Pro (Pro or Standard) which is a significant improvement over its predecessors when it comes to advanced editing tools.If you want to make more advanced changes to the content and layout of a PDF file, including text editing, image cropping and repositioning, there are two main ways to do it: Advanced PDF Editing with Acrobat X Pro (or Standard) However, if you just want to make minor tweaks, see Simple PDF Editing with Acrobat below to find out how. The 'Advanced Editing' text tools are unwieldy to say the least. If you're using Adobe Acrobat 9 or earlier, the changes you'll be able to make will be extremely limited. Please note that you can't edit a PDF file with the free Adobe Reader - you need the full version of Adobe Acrobat to make changes. This page explains how to make simple changes to text and objects using Adobe Acrobat. Design studios often have to edit PDF documents in order to alter a document created by someone else, or to make a last minute change without having to return to the source files. ![]() ![]() This means it checks files against McAfee’s huge virus database and identifies potentially dangerous files based on their behavior. McAfee’s antivirus scanner uses traditional malware detection methods and heuristics. McAfee Security Features Antivirus Scanner McAfee has a 30-day money-back guarantee on all of its plans, so there’s no risk in trying it out. McAfee offers 1-year subscriptions for all of its plans as well as a discounted 2-year plan for its Plus plan, which has coverage for up to 5 devices. It has a high-quality malware scanner, provides a wide range of security features, and is easy to use - and all of this for a very low price. I also think the VPN could use some improvement - it’s unable to access some popular streaming sites (it works with Netflix and Amazon Prime, but not with Disney+ and Hulu), and it doesn’t have extras like split-tunneling.īut overall, I still think McAfee is one of the best-value antiviruses out there. ![]() That said, I don’t like that the full scan can cause system slowdown (but you can schedule full scans for when you’re not using your computer), and I’d like to see all of McAfee’s features integrated into a single dashboard.

Most modern cars have electronic ignition, which means that an internal computer adjusts the timing automatically. How Do I Know if My Car’s Timing Needs Adjustment?Ī car that is not running in time will show tell-tale signs of a rough idle, pinging, loss of power, or even a check engine light, but this does not always mean a car’s timing needs to be adjusted. (The first time I used a timing gun, I was so frightened that I asked a mechanic friend to come over and do it while I watched). While most technicians know how to adjust the timing on a classic car, the process can be a bit intimidating for a novice.

It was (is, for me since I still use Windows 7) nice to be able to drop a clock on the right side of the screen in various color/shape combinations. ![]() Windows Vista/7 gadgets were a great idea that worked better in Windows 7 when the gadget bar was no longer a dark shadow. Just like I think they should build Windows Explorer to truly support proper addons I hope they do the same with widgets because some people want that, and they want stuff that will be visible for desktop users and not just features that will make sense for tablet users. I am not saying it is a good idea to pin stuff to desktop and all that, but it would be good for people who want it and then use the same xbox bar logic they did to bring useful stuff to desktop without them developing everything or 3rd party that might just add bloat and problems to windows. But Who knows, sometimes it seems Microsoft decisions are based on whatever and not what it should be. I guess I would hope they will get rid of xbox game bar and bring it as a windows feature and then people can enable widgets they want if they want to and pin them and all that. They seem like they want to find something, first task bar and now some panel that appears. Why not? just look at xbox game bar, it got even 3rd party widgets on it. Now You: what is your take on widgets? (via Deskmodder) There is a chance that third-parties may be allowed to create widgets for the operating system in the future. Gadgets are making a comeback as widgets, at least for first-party widgets that Microsoft creates. It seems unlikely that the introduction will have a big impact on these projects in the beginning. It is too early to tell what Windows Widgets mean for third-party solutions like Rainmeter. Not all Live Tiles are useful, but some users may like some tiles, and these could be replaced by widgets and placed prominently on the desktop by the user to improve their visibility. Widgets might even replace Live Tiles, a feature that Microsoft has disabled currently in Windows 11. Microsoft could create a widgets category in the Store so that developers could publish them in the Store. Security is no longer an issue because of that component (no more than for any application that uses it). Widgets are powered by Microsoft Edge's WebView2, which apps and other components on the system may use as well. One small change is that it opens on the left and no longer on the right when activated. Launched in recent versions of Windows 10, it is now the first widget in Microsoft's Windows 11 operating system. We only know of the News and Interests widget right now. Twitter user WalkingCat suggests that widgets will be first-party only at first, but that this could change along the way. Support does not necessarily mean that you will be able to install third-party widgets. While things may change, considering that the leaked copy is a development build and not a final one, widgets will most likely be supported by Microsoft's new operating system. Windows Widgets, Microsoft dropped the gadgets name, will be part of the upcoming Windows 11 operating system, it appears. Users could still get them back in Windows 8 and even Windows 10, either as unofficial gadget packets of the official gadgets, or as third-party gadgets using tools like Rainmeter.Ī development build of Windows 11 leaked this week, and with it came something that looked like gadgets functionality. Back then, Microsoft argued that gadgets were a security risk and had to go because of that. Microsoft decided to retire gadgets and the sidebar in preparation of the launch of its Windows 8 operating system. You could use them to display weather information, photos, news, a clock, calendar, or system information. ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() Besides a couple of long hairs that became tangled in the bristles (mostly mine), I didn’t have to spend any time removing dust bunnies and hair from the bristles. The best part about the head is that very little fur sticks to it. If you have a high-pile (shaggy) carpet, check out my next recommendation. The broom only brushed the top, and the bristles seemed unable to remove anything that was trapped deep inside the shag. When I tested this broom on my long, shaggy rug, no dog hair was removed – even though I could see it. Well, as long as your carpet is low-pile (short). This broom will give your carpet a new lease on life! For best results, use quick, short strokes with the squeegee side. If you’ve had your carpet or rug for a few years, you’ll be disgusted by what you find. Running the broom over your carpet will pull crumbs, hair and all kinds of dusty things to the surface. I dragged it across the floor to ensure I didn’t miss any broken pieces – something that is always a concern with bristle brooms. I actually used this squeegee side when my daughter knocked a glass to the floor. I found this useful to remove stubborn fur that was stuck to my floor. The bristles really shine on hardwood or tile floors.Ī squeegee runs along the rear length of the broom head. Collecting crumbs and hair, nothing was safe. If you have hair under the molding, in corners or trapped against table and chair legs, you’ll want to sweep this out into the open with a traditional, nylon-bristled broom first.īut in the open areas, the Sweepa was a beast. The only thing I had to remove at the end of my sweeping session was a bit of lint that stuck to the front row of bristles. Instead, they push it along into a neat pile. Interestingly, the broom bristles don’t collect debris and hair. It remains rigid as you push it across your floor or carpet. If you are looking for a broom that will do your regular sweepingīissel pet hair broom is the best choice by far!īest For hard floors and short carpet: Sweepa Rubber Pet Hair BroomĪlready have a traditional broom you love? Then, you probably just need a broom for dog hair and nothing else.ĭespite the completely rubber head, it doesn’t move or bend. ![]() ![]() If you have large areas of carpet, you probably want to check out our next two picks – they will get the job done in half the time. While the rubber bristles were great for hard floors and rugs, it took some time to clean larger sections of carpet. A quick clean with a paper towel over the garbage can was all it took. Fortunately, a quick sweep took care of that too.Ĭleaning the bristles was simple. My curious pup annoyingly followed along behind me rubbing herself on the carpet, leaving a trail of hair as she went. With the rubber bristles extended, I could scoop up any dog hair that was on the surface. Oh, and it works great on low-pile (short) carpets and rugs. Speaking of which, there is a loop at the tip of the handle if you prefer to hang your brooms instead of standing them upright. I imagine reducing the length could be helpful when storing the broom too. ![]() Being on the shorter side, I enjoyed the fact that I could reduce the length to something a little more usable. In many cases, I could bend over and pick them up without needing a dustpan. The nylon bristles swept up dust, lint and crumbs while the rubber bristles trapped dog hair into clumps. Once I swept dog hair away from these delicate areas, I switched back to the rubber to collect it. Rubber bristles for wide, open areas and switching back to the nylon ones when I came to corners and the edges of the molding. I found myself effortlessly swapping between the two on the fly. While the rubber bristles were great at trapping and collecting dog hair, they had issues in tight spaces and thin gapes, but that is where the flexible nylon bristles excelled. This unique combination of rubber meant that I could clean every area of my house with a single broom. Twist the knob at the bottom of the handle, and these extend out, allowing you to sweep up dog hair. Hidden in the middle of the nylon fibers is a set of stiff rubber bristles… Looks just like a regular broom, right?

And when fromautumn 1944 the territory commanded by the NS state began to dwindle, itwas to Dachau that the inmates of the other camps were evacuated - fromNatzweiler, from Buchenwald, from Auschwitz and from almost all theother sites of terror, convoys of prisoners came to Dachau. Here the political opponentsof the new regime were imprisoned and abused, here the terror systemof the concentration camps was tried out and developed: Dachau was atesting ground for the SS and became the model for all the other concentrationcamps throughout the area controlled by Germany. In spring 1933, immediately after Hitler’s assumption of power, the firstconcentration camp was established at Dachau. ![]() |
