Zooming in on the web

Posted on by

Microsoft has created a service called Zoom.it, a free web tool for viewing and sharing high-resolution photos.

Zoom.it created by people from Microsoft Live Labs branches, and is based on some earlier ventures (Seadragon) whose role was similar – zoom, preview images on the web.

Zoom.it works extremely simple, you just put the link to an image or text in the box on the official site tools (http://zoom.it/). If you’re used to typing their own parameters in the address bar, you can do so by adding http://zoom.it/?url = front of the picture or page you want to process in this program.

Zoom.it is able to modify any image on the web, and the output is converted to a Deep Zoom Image (DHS), in addition to standard image formats (BMP, JPG, GIF …), Zoom.it has support for PDF documents, SVG files.

It should be noted that when converting a PDF document Zoom.it process only the first page, while all other parameters must be added at the end of the URL to convert, and that there is no support for Flash.

Besides this, there is an application that is intended for use on mobile devices with touchscreen option.

Development of Live Labs is a tool implemented in Application Programming Interface (API), so users can get it, if you know how, improve. Continue reading →

Apple CMY monitor?

Posted on by

Many designers and photographers have problems associated with color reproduction.

Because of different mechanisms which are based displays (RGB, red-green-blue) and color printers (CMY, cyan-magenta-yellow), there is a difference between what is seen on screen and what is printed. Therefore, the whole story about pre-press inserted color profiles and other elements that make life easier for those engaged in such activities. However, it would in due course could be changed.

In fact, Apple has come to a seemingly simple idea – throw CMY monitor. In this way, users with special needs could receive a display that would eliminate the problems in the color palette. For now, no concrete plans, but Apple has filed for patents in technology that would result just mentioned.

Seemingly, there are problems with the color reproduction, given that CMY palette covers a narrower part of the visible spectrum, but Ars Technica reports that the question of how much it will be evident in practice, since most RGB monitors, though nominally supporting 16.7 billion color, in practice, very far below that figure.

In any case, it is expected that these monitors targeted professionals, and it is expected that normal users still hold the RGB display. Continue reading →

LCD or Plasma for Gaming?

Posted on by

Video games present a challenge to any monitor. Their fast-moving, sharply-defined graphics can appear blurred on some sets during parts of a game. In selecting a monitor to use with a gaming system, the most important consideration is frame rate. A monitor with a high frame rate will help to avoid the blurring.

Frame rate is usually described at hertz, or Hz. The higher the number of hertz, the faster the set is refreshing the frames. Plasma monitors are excellent for gaming, because they have exceptionally high refresh rates, often around 600 Hz. LCD monitors can be acceptable for gaming if their refresh rate is 120 Hz or higher.

If all other specs on a plasma or LCD monitor are the same, a plasma monitor will likely produce the sharpest images for video games, but an LCD monitor with a high enough Hz will probably not look much different. Continue reading →
