#// looks @ my 15 tabs open on my 11 year old macbook

[everglow-ing]

Hi!! Can you please tell me what you added to your jaws gifset? Like any filters or anything added at all?

Hi! I didn't add any special filter like colorings, just basic curves, levels, and exposure- but I did do my sharpening differently than normal as the file size I have of the movie isn't bigger than 3GB and it's an older movie. So let's call this

TIPS ON HOW TO SHARPEN YOUR GIF WHEN YOUR ORIGINAL FILE IS A BIT meh.

more under the cut ↓↓

Okay, I'm going to jump right in.

When I have everything on the timeline, resized, and ready to go, I start off by adding grain. (Ruis) My program is in dutch as I am dutch so I'm not going to explain all the technical stuff, as it will get lost in translation, but I'll just do a quick rundown of what I did with this set. (I use Photoshop2022) I'm not an expert whatsoever, I studied art/media design but that was 4+ years ago and while photoshop was used heavily, gif making is not something that ever came up lol.

Add the grain. Filter tab -> grain -> grain. 0,6 or 0,7 will do. Tick Gaussian and Monochromatic. Next, sharpening. Filter tab -> sharpen -> smart sharpen. I use this filter twice with two different settings as follows:

These are basic sharpening settings a lot of other creators use, so nothing special there. Next, to make it even sharper, I add high pass. You can find this under the filter tab above, at the bottom of the list. Filter tab -> other -> high pass.

Select it.

Keep it at 4,0. You can play around with this, but I like to keep it at 4,0. Now it looks a little weird so we have to make some changes. Go to the blending option of the filter you just applied (the high pass) and change it to 'soft light' on 70%.

Again, you can play around with this. I also use high pass on gifs that are darker. I used it in this set to let our babe Ryan stand a bit more out.

Okay to really show the difference between not adding the grain + sharpening + high pass vs grain + sharpening + high pass, here you go:

I remade this one real quick, as I didn't have the psd anymore but you can see the difference better than the one with the shark illustration gif. I didn't add any other filters, only the grain + sharpening + high pass. When you add the filters and increase the lightning/contrast, it will look even sharper. Sadly I don't have the file anymore, so I can't exactly recreate it, but I just used the filters mentioned; curves, levels, and exposure.

Funny thing is, not all the shots in my copy were grainy. It's just a few that have unruly pixels because the file has been compressed. Like our dear Hooper here, that part of the movie was just a little blegh. And not everyone has the space or the money or other resources to get the deluxe Bluray whatever, so you gotta do what you've gotta do I guess. Of course you want your file to be HD, preferably 1080 or above, but well, shit happens. With the grain added, it just looks better in my opinion. The grain fills in the annoying pixels. You can also add grain after sharpening, but it just looks better, again my opinion, when you add it before sharpening. Plus I found out my gifs looked better on mobile if I added grain before sharpening rather than after. If this is something you worry about, I would add the grain before sharpening.

Do note though, adding grain increases the file size of your gif!

Okay, next up, the other filters I've applied. I added curves. The numbers at Input (Invoer) and Output (Uitvoer) are for the two dots in the middle.

Lower dot: input 15 and output 11

Higher dot: input 27 and output 25

Not much, just a little tick. The next filter I used is levels.

The only thing I changed is the Outputlevels (Uitvoerniveaus) to 2. This is something I do with all my gifs, sometimes a bit more at 4 or 6. I just like how it looks I guess haha. Next I added exposure.

exposure: +0,56. offset: 0,0000. gamma correction: 0,72.

And we're done with Photoshop! Because my MacBook is really old and kind of past its time, I just save the file as a gif without cutting any frames and open it again in Ezgif. It all runs smoothly until I have to convert a gif multiple times and this just saves me a lot of time. Ezgif is a free website where you can make and edit gifs. I use it to cut the frames, add some contrast if necessary and decrease file size (another tip!) so it's under 10mb and tumblr will accept it.

Gif before adding all the filters:

Gif after grain + sharpening + high pass + the other filters:

Gif after running it through Ezgif and adding some contrast (5) to decrease the size of the file:

I hope this answers your question! If you're really stuck on something, you can always send me a private message! I didn't do much, just the grain and the sharpening and the high pass. I think it adds a little edge to the gifs as well. Thank you for the ask and have a nice day!! 💜 💜 

Edit: the brightening filter is called EXPOSURE, not brightening. I re-checked it but as I thought, I made a little mistake during translating. Here you can find a whole list of filters translated from Dutch to English.

Mac Os Stands For

Need a little help figuring out your new iMac or MacBook? You’ve come to the right place.

Mac Os X Stands For

Mac Os Stands For Computers

Mac Address Stands For Computer

Check out our updated survival guide for the basics on Mac OS X, including details on the latest “Mavericks” features, illustrated guides for updating and backing up your Mac, must-know tips, and more.

Within the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) network model, MAC addresses are used in the medium access control protocol sublayer of the data link layer. As typically represented, MAC addresses are recognizable as six groups of two hexadecimal digits, separated. And now, with just a USB cable, unlock your phone's possibilities on PC and Mac through Samsung DeX. Click to download Samsung DeX app for use on PC and Mac. FOR WINDOWS 7 AND 10 FOR MAC OS. DeX for PC is available on selected devices, and on Windows 7, 10 and versions of Mac OS higher than 10.13. Visit the FAQ page for a full list of device.

The basics

What is Mac OS X?

It’s the software that powers all the day-to-day features on your iMac or MacBook. Every time you click a menu at the top of the screen, open a folder on your desktop, or search for a document on your hard drive, you have the Mac operating system (or “Mac OS”) to thank.

OK, so what does the “X” in “Mac OS X” stand for?

It stands for “10,” as in the Roman numeral—and specifically, it means we’re currently using the tenth major version of the Mac OS. Mac OS X first arrived for desktop Macs way back in 2001, and had been preceded by—you guessed it—Mac OS 9.

“Mavericks” is the latest version of Mac OS X, the software that powers your iMac or MacBook.

What is “Mavericks”?

Over the past dozen years, there have been a series of big updates to Mac OS X, and the latest update, 10.9, is nicknamed “Mavericks.” Previous updates to Mac OS X have been named “Panther,” “Leopard,” “Snow Leopard,” and plain-old “Lion.” Yes, it’s safe to say that Apple has a thing for felines—or had, until OS X Mavericks came around.

Anyway, Mac OS X “Mavericks” (which came out in October 2013) adds more than 200 new features to the Mac operating system, including all-new Maps and iBooks apps that mirror those on the iPhone and iPad; major overhauls for Calendar and the Safari web browser; revamped folder windows that now boast tabs, similar to Safari; and enhanced desktop notifications, including alerts from Mavericks-friendly websites like the New York Times and CNN.

Check out Apple’s rundown of the 200-plus new features in Mavericks right here.

Where to get Mavericks

Mavericks is available for download from the Mac App Store—and yes, it’s free.

The “About This Mac” window will tell you is your Mac is new enough for Mavericks.

Can your Mac handle Mavericks?

Generally speaking, you’ll need an iMac or MacBook Pro that was manufactured no earlier than 2007, or a MacBook circa 2008 or later.

Specific iMac and MacBook models have different requirements, however; click here for more details.

How to install Mavericks

The Mavericks installation process is fairly straightforward, but it will require at least an hour of your time.

Once you grab Mavericks from the Mac App Store, your system will download the update and alert you when it’s ready to begin the installation process. Just follow the prompts (there are only a few), sit back and wait. After a restart or two, your Mac should be all set.

How to back up your Mac

Don’t even thing of updating your Mac’s operating system without backing up your hard drive first. Luckily, backing up your hard drive is easy thanks for a Mac OS X utility called Time Machine; here’s how to use it.

40 must-know Mac tips and tricks

1. 5 gotta-try folder tricks for “Mavericks”

Apple’s just-released (and free) software update for the Mac comes with a series of nifty folder tricks up its sleeves, including the ability to open a folder as a tab in an existing folder window—yes, kinda like you can in a browser.

Want to map a street address directly from Safari? Easy.

2. Map a street address within Safari

Ever stumble across a street address on the web—yes, an actual street address—and wish you could quickly pinpoint it on a map? Usually, you’d just copy and paste the address into Google Maps, but the latest version of the Safari for “Mavericks” saves you a step.

3. Take a screenshot

So, you know how to snap an image of your iPhone’s screen—but what if you want to take a screenshot of your Mac’s desktop? Well, there are actually four ways to snap a screenshot on your Mac, and they’re all just a few keystrokes away.

4. Customize and create keyboard shortcuts

Wish you could snap a screenshot on your Mac by tapping just the F5 key rather than tangling with the SHIFT + COMMAND + 3 keyboard combo? Well, you can.

You can create time-saving “macros” for your street address, job title, phone number, or practically any string of text.

5. Create time-saving, text-replacing “macros”

Mac Os X Stands For

You can create custom, text-replacing “macros” (or shortcuts) on your Mac for your home address, job title, phone number, or other oft-used strings of text.

6. Pick a new alert sound, or install your own

Getting tired of the little “blurp” (or “ding,” or “beep”) sound your Mac makes when it needs your attention? As it turns out, your Mac comes with more than a dozen built-in alert sounds, and you can change the sound whenever you want.

7. Set “Do Not Disturb” mode to turn on (and off) automatically

One my of favorite new features in iOS 7 is the ability to automatically silence iPhone or iPad alerts during the wee hours—and now, thanks to Apple’s recent “Mavericks” update, you can set your Mac to muzzle notifications on a daily (or nightly) basis, too.

Got a DVD-less Mac? You can wireless share the optical drive of any nearby iMac or MacBook.

8. Share a DVD drive over Wi-Fi with Remote Disc

The MacBook Air, the Mac Mini, the new “retina” MacBooks, and other optical drive-less Macs come with a feature called “Remote Disc,” which lets you wirelessly borrow the optical drive of almost any nearby Mac or PC.

9. Get the hang of desktop “spaces” in Mission Control

The Mac’s handy Mission Control feature lets you manage multiple desktop “spaces” at once, each filled with its own assortment of open documents and applications. Sounds confusing, I know. But once you get the hang of it, these additional, virtual desktops can become addicting—and even essential.

10. Why “natural” scrolling feels backwards—and how to turn it off

Does scrolling on your Mac feel backwards to you? Blame Apple’s new “natural” scrolling feature. Luckily, turning it off is a cinch.

Wish you could get your scroll bars back? All you have to do is tweak the right setting.

11. Get your missing scroll bars back

Hey, what happened to the scroll bars on your windows? Don’t worry—you can get them back in a few clicks.

12. 12 handy trackpad gestures you need to try

Want to zoom in on a web page, twirl a snapshot in iPhoto, sneak a peek at the desktop, or look up the definition of a head-scratching word? You can do all that and more with a simple swipe, “pinch,” or tap on your Mac’s trackpad.

13. Turn on your Mac’s speaking clock

Your Mac has a built-in speaking clock that will read you the time every hour, on the hour—or the half hour, or even quarter hour. Here’s how to turn it on.

You can add a new Mission Control desktop with a little help from your mouse.

14. Create a new desktop in Mission Control

Making a new “space” in Mission Control, the essential Mac feature that gives you a bird’s eye view of all your virtual desktops, is easy—if you know where to look.

15. Pin an app to a specific Mission Control desktop

There’s a way to assign an app to a specific desktop in Mission Control, perfect for keeping your programs in their proper “spaces.”

16. Paste your signature into a PDF, no scanner or printer required

Got a contract or some other document that you need to sign and return via email? Just snap a photo of your John Hancock with your Mac’s iSight camera (just about any recent iMac or MacBook should have one), then paste it into the document you need to sign.

17. Make the most of the Mac desktop dock

Thanks to the handy Dock at the bottom of your Mac desktop, your favorite programs, files, and folders are never more than a click away—and if you know where to look, you can make the Dock behave practically any way you want.

Turn on the Mac’s hot-corner feature to jump to Mission Control, clear your desktop, and more, all with a simple flick of your fingertip.

By tweaking a single setting, you can use your Mac’s function keys without having to press and hold the “Fn” key.

32. Use the function keys without pressing “Fn”

On most Mac keyboards, the function keys—you know, those keys along the top of the keyboard marked “F1,” “F2,” “F3,” and so on—don’t get the luxury of having an entire key to themselves. Want to switch things around so you don’t need to press and hold “fn” to use a function key? No problem.

33. Set multiple “home” or “start” pages for your web browser

Want more than just a single home page to appear when you fire up your web browser in the morning? No problem.

Mac Address Stands For Computer

34. Cram a bunch of files into a single “zip” archive

Got a bunch of little files that you want to send to a friend? Well, you could always drag them all into an email and send them as attachments, but talk about messy. A cleaner, tidier alternative is to take all those little (or not-so-little) files and compress them into an archive—or, to be more specific, a “zip” archive.

Tapping to click takes getting used to, but it’s surprisingly addicting, not to mention easier on your fingers.

35. “Click” the trackpad with a tap

Having a hard time clicking the MacBook’s squishy trackpad? If so, here’s an alternative: setting the Mac trackpad to “click” with a simple tap rather than an actual click.

36. Share files between nearby Macs with AirDrop

Got a file on one Mac that you’d like to send to another Mac just a few feet away? A built-in Mac feature called AirDrop lets you…well, “drop” a file from one Mac onto another.

37. Change the default programs for your files

Annoyed that the Mac’s Preview app, and not Adobe Reader, always gets to open your PDF files? There’s a way to permanently change the “default” program that opens a given type of document.

38. Customize the buttons in program toolbars

Ever wish there were a Print button next to the Reply and Forward buttons in the Mac’s Mail app, or a pair of Zoom buttons on the top of every Safari browser window? Well, here’s the thing: you can add, remove, and rearrange the buttons in the “toolbar” of several familiar Mac programs.

You can set your wallpaper to change at any interval you choose, from once a day to once every 5 seconds.

39. Put your desktop wallpaper on shuffle

Getting tired of the same old wallpaper on your Mac desktop? If so, try this: just set your Mac to shuffle some or all of your favorite desktop wallpaper (or “background”) photos, at any interval you choose.

40. 4 ways to right-click on a Mac trackpad

There are actually several different ways to right-click on the MacBook’s trackpad, which (nowadays, at least) is essentially one big button.

1998's most charming OS, after 15 years: Hands-on with Haiku alpha 4 Wistfulness runs high, however is the BeOS reboot more than a fascinating diversion?.

Haiku is not just a Japanese short sonnet with a characterized structure—it's additionally the name of an open-source entertainment of BeOS, an option working framework initially created in the mid-1990s. It was the brainchild of Jean-Louis Gassée, an ostentatious, eager administrator and head of Apple France. He climbed his way up the official step to end up plainly the head of "cutting edge item advancement and overall promoting" before being constrained out of the organization by then-CEO John Sculley in 1990.

Unflinching, Gassée chose he would make a fresh out of the plastic new PC stage without any preparation, including both custom equipment and another working framework. Gassée was following in the strides of Steve Jobs, who had endeavored a similar thing in with NeXT in 1985 when he was removed from Apple.

The BeBox was discharged in October 1995. It was an inquisitive mammoth, brandishing double 66MHz PowerPC 603e processors, a "GeekPort" for appending custom electronic gadgets, and vertical "Blinkenlights," LED strips that indicated CPU utilization. Just 1,800 BeBoxes were sold altogether before Be, Inc. ended all equipment fabricating and focused on offering the working framework without anyone else, at first for PowerPC Macintoshes.

In 1996, Apple was hunting down another working framework to supplant its fizzled "Copland" extend, and for some time BeOS was at the highest priority on the rundown (this rundown included both Windows NT and Solaris, neither of which would have been particularly appealing for Apple fans). While arranging a deal value, Gassée, radiating his run of the mill blustering certainty, told a journalist that "we have Apple by the balls and will press until it harms." Someone at Apple got twist of this and called a person, who called another person... who called up Steve Jobs at NeXT. The rest is history. "What a life," said Gassée, and exchanged the concentration of BeOS to x86-based PCs.

BeOS achieved its zenith of accomplishment in 2000 when the R5 variant was discharged as a free download. In any case, few individuals moved up to the $99 "Expert" variant, and a last-discard endeavor to spare the organization by packaging BeOS with the Sony eVilla Internet Appliance neglected to get the vital money. Be, Inc. sold every one of its advantages for Palm, Inc. in November 2001 for $11 million.

From that point forward, a German organization, yellowTAB, discharged "another" form of BeOS called Zeta in 2005 (which I explored). In any case, the organization never affirmed regardless of whether it approached the BeOS source code. The organization suspended Zeta in 2007, expressing that business neglected to satisfy desires.

With the legitimate status of the BeOS source code in limbo, it was up to an open-source gathering of programmers to attempt to as of late keep the BeOS dream alive. Their venture was initially named OpenBeOS, yet trademark issues constrained a name change. Haiku was picked as a callback to the old blunder messages in BeOS's inherent Web program, which were conveyed (fittingly) in haiku shape. Today, the Haiku assemble points to modify that working framework, as well as run application doubles initially intended for BeOS. With the group as of late discharging variant R1/Alpha 4.1, Ars chosen to take the OS for a test drive

Establishment

Haiku is accessible for download in a source code package: an .iso record that can be utilized to copy a live-booting and establishment DVD, and a double .picture document that can be composed specifically to a USB thumb drive. The last is the favored technique to look at Haiku. It can be run straightforwardly off the blaze drive without expecting to introduce it on the PC's hard drive.

Duplicating the .picture record to a thumb drive should be possible with the Unix order "dd" on Linux and OS X, or utilizing the free ImageWriter program on Windows frameworks. Once the picture has been replicated to the USB drive, the PC quickly gripes it can't read the drive. For Windows' situation, it even offers to configuration it. The reason it can't read the drive is that it is organized with BeOS's local BFS record framework. That is something just BeOS (and now, Haiku) knows how to peruse.

To fire up the working framework, one just embeds the thumb crash into a USB port and reboots. Most current PCs can be set to boot from the USB key by squeezing the "Del" key amid the boot procedure then choosing the thumb drive physically in the boot need menu.

The .picture record makes an around 600MB segment for Haiku, leaving whatever remains of the USB drive unpartitioned and discharge (mine had a 2GB limit). For future discharges, the Haiku group ought to truly consider expanding the segment measure, as the default dispersion tops off that 600MB almost totally with just a couple of megabytes free. The inherent segment director application in Haiku gives you a chance to parcel, configuration, and mount whatever remains of the space as another virtual drive, yet it can't progressively resize segments. This turned into an issue when testing.

Tried Hardware

I initially tried the Haiku thumb drive on a more established PC, a Core 2 Duo @ 1.8 GHz with 2GB RAM. Shockingly, for reasons unknown, the PC went into an interminable reboot circle when it began getting to the thumb drive.

Next, I had a go at booting from my trusty MacBook (a late 2008 model, the first to accompany the aluminum unibody, brandishing 4GB of RAM). Unfortunately, the USB key declined to boot at all on this equipment. I took a stab at booting from the Live DVD. I got the extent that the boot screen, however then the PC hung and declined to continue any further.

The last PC I attempted was an ASUS P5K-VM motherboard with a Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU running at 2.4GHz and 8GB of RAM. This is my Media Center PC, snared specifically to my TV. Luckily, Haiku booted on this equipment with no issue. Startup was quick and took under 15 seconds to get to a completely practical desktop. As a matter of course, the framework booted into a determination of 1024x768. Tragically, there was no choice to change to a widescreen determination. Looking the discussions, I found the framework was utilizing a default VESA driver and didn't know about my representation card. I had a go at introducing an (exceptionally) old BeOS NVIDIA bound together driver. It seemed to introduce effectively, yet the driver was not instated on a reboot. As indicated by the Haiku gatherings, the working framework will consequently bolster any NVIDIA design card up to a GeForce 7950, however cards more up to date than that (my illustrations card is one of them) default to the VESA driver. Haiku does each of the 3D rendering in programming mode and does not bolster 3D increasing speed, so the absence of a driver didn't change the general usefulness of the working framework that much.

My other equipment was upheld fine and dandy: my system card, sound framework, and different remote USB mice and consoles all worked consequently.

Getting around the OS

The Haiku working framework is quick and responsive, similarly as BeOS was some time ago. The portion depends on the open-source NewOS, which is a 32-bit preemptive multitasking, secluded piece composed by previous BeOS build Travis Geiselbrecht. The UI is an immediate clone of BeOS. Truth be told, it utilizes the OpenTracker document director and application launcher that Be, Inc. discharged as open source preceding the organization dissolving. With both the heart and the substance of the working framework running code with beginnings in BeOS, Haiku can genuinely be known as a successor to that working framework.

The Tracker document supervisor hasn't been refreshed much since the times of BeOS. It opens up another window for every organizer, and every window can be seen in either symbol or rundown groups. Dissimilar to Zeta, this capacity still exists to slide the yellow title tab forward and backward on the highest point of the window utilizing the Shift key, permitting a kind of specially appointed selected perusing of various indexes. Similarly as with the exemplary MacOS, Haiku recollects the size, position, and condition of every window even after a reboot.The record framework, as said prior, is BFS, which remains for the Be File System. It is a cutting edge, 64-bit able, journaling record framework with support for extensible metadata incorporated appropriate with the Tracker UI. This enables clients to, for instance, include information about music documents, for example, craftsman and collection and sort by these terms without utilizing an outsider application, for example, iTunes.

Applications

Applications and Preferences are gotten to by tapping the huge blue plume symbol at the highest point of the Tracker, which likewise fills in as a vertical assignment bar. Tapping on any application's tab raises a rundown of windows related with that application.

Haiku accompanies various applications and demos pre-introduced. There are the typical work area embellishments like adding machines, a symbol editorial manager, content managers, a sound recorder, a contact supervisor called People, an email program called Mail, different media players, and a PDF watcher called BePDF. There is likewise an application called "television" that should be a watcher for simple TV, a style of TV that doesn't generally exist any longer. It just shows a test pattern.Most of these applications are on an indistinguishable level from Notepad and Calculator found in Windows—little utilities that are useful to begin, yet not what you would need to use for everyday work. Haiku should bolster local x86-ordered BeOS applications specifically, so I went to BeBits.com, where most BeOS creators recorded their applications some time ago.

Lamentably, the vast majority of the download interfaces on BeBits indicate back the creators' close to home website pages, and the majority of those at no time in the future exist. I figured out how to discover one application that still existed, a spreadsheet program called Sum-It. I could download, introduce, and run it without any issues.

Be that as it may, regardless of the possibility that you can download them, not all BeOS applications work without issue. I found a port of AbiWord that wouldn't stack by any means. Also, the sparkling star of BeOS applications, an office.
