Formato de almacenamiento público para datos de Camera Raw digitales.
La popularidad de los formatos de archivos sin procesar está aumentando rápidamente en los flujos de trabajo de fotografía digital, ya que estos archivos ofrecen a los profesionales un mayor control creativo. Sin embargo, las cámaras emplean una gran variedad de formatos de archivos sin procesar. Como las especificaciones de dichos formatos no están disponibles públicamente, no todos los archivos sin procesar son reconocidos por las aplicaciones de software. Por ello, el uso de estos archivos sin formato patentados como solución de almacenamiento a largo plazo supone un cierto riesgo y el intercambio de estos archivos a través de flujos de trabajo complejos es aún más arriesgado.
¿Cuál es la solución a este problema cada vez más grave? El negativo digital (DNG) es un formato de archivo disponible para el público para los archivos sin procesar generados por las cámaras digitales. El DNG suple así la falta de un estándar abierto para los archivos sin procesar generados por diferentes modelos de cámaras, al tiempo que permite a los fotógrafos acceder a sus archivos en un futuro.
En el transcurso de un año desde su presentación, varias docenas de fabricantes de software, como Extensis, Canto, Apple y iView se han adaptado para ser compatibles con DNG. Y los prestigiosos fabricantes de cámaras Hasselblad, Leica, Ricoh y Samsung ha diseñado cámaras que proporcionan compatibilidad directa con DNG.

Igualdad llevada a límites. Ya el sexo femenino va a tener el placer y la responsabilidad de poder orinar de pié. Sí, este invento que en un principio tuvo su objetivo en aquellas féminas que no querían arriesgar su higiene más íntima en los servicios públicos pasa ahora a facturar casi 15000€ al mes.
Entre sus clientes también se encuentran personas con problemas de movilidad e incluso atletas de elite, (sin o con tilde como he aprendido hoy gracias a Fer), que deben orinar en el acto.

PhotoShop Plugins, Filters, Brushes, Actions & Gradients
It’s amazing as to the amount of time and effort that people put into making plug-ins, filters, actions, brushes and such and then make them available to whomever wants them at no cost. All of the following are the “best of the best” and each one has received the highest rating from Adobe, and they are all free. I do not think that there are many items out there, that you have to pay for, that are better than the following…
AlphaWorks
A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in filter for quickly removing black or white values and making the region transparent. There are 6 different options for you to choose from, depending on the type of image you are working on (colour photo, mono photo, lineart). It requires the use of “layers” so remember the effect must be applied to an image that is on a layer above the background in order for it to work.

ColourWorks
A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in containing 20 effects for modifying image colour values in various ways. You can use them for subtle correction of your digital photos and CG graphics, or experiment with the more dramatic transformations that are available. Although quite basic these filters can be handy for use on a regular basis.

Hi-Spot
Digital Film FX : A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in filter for high-contrast B&W effects. It will not just convert your images into the standard shades of grey, it will automatically higher the contrast and produce a more dramatic sense of lighting in your scene. Much like the old photos you may have seen in your family albums. A bonus features for darkroom enthusiasts is the ability to lightly tone your B&W print at the same time. Give your photos that ancient sepia look or mix the colour settings to produce your desired monochrome tint.

Digital Film FX : A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in filter for B&W grain effects. It produces results similar to using traditional “fast” B&W camera film, allowing more control than the standard “noise” filters included with most image-editors. Give your photos back some of that artistic texture which seems to be sadly missing these days! Ideal for both landscape scenes or portraits. For best results use with high-resolution images of at least 2 megapixels.

Techni-X
Digital Film FX : A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in filter for very high contrast effects. It bleaches out most of the mid-tone greys, leaving crisp dark blacks and bright clean whites. It will produce clear B&W images with limited tones, which are suitable for cheap reproduction via the office photocopier or when published in newsprint, as these methods normally loose image definition when trying to reproduce standard colour photographs. Although mainly designed for this “technical” purpose, you can also have fun by adding strong colour-casts within the plug-in!

NightScope
Digital Film FX : A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in filter for adding a basic “night-vision” effect to your digital photographs and/or 2D and 3D computer-generated images. It first removes all colour from the picture and gives a very slight blur to indicate the film is trying hard to focus in a low-light situation. Then you can choose to add grain either keeping it B&W or mixing separate red, green and blue channels to vary the effect. You can also produce a strong overall colour cast using the RGB sliders provided. Works best with dark night-time photographs that have minimal areas of bright background elements in the scene.

Pseudo-IR
Digital Film FX : A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in filter for creating a similar look when using traditional B&W infra-red film. It is not an exact match but will provide you with a quick and easy way to re-create the effect digitally using your standard colour photographs. The RGB sliders will also allow you to tint the overall image if you wish. For best results use this filter on landscape scenes. It is also quite effective on certain architectural elements too. Not really suitable for portrait subjects though.

SkyGrad
Digital Lens FX : A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in filter for tinting the sky area of your photographs. Ideal if you need to change the “mood” of your scene, brighten-up a dull day or make a darker overcast sky for dramatic effect. The filter will overlay a coloured gradient from the top of your image fading to transparent at the bottom. You can specify the colour of the tint via three RGB sliders plus you can adjust the brightness with the exposure setting.

BW-Plus
Digital Lens FX : A single Photoshop-compatible plug-in filter for quickly turning your colour images into greyscale, but with the added option of using a coloured optical lens filter as you would in traditional B&W photography. The different colours will change the tonal range during the greyscale conversion : for example, a red filter will lighten the red, magenta and yellow areas plus darken the green, blue and cyan in the photo. There are 6 preset effects to choose from using a simple.
