The summary of their rating from ESRB website can be read in full below: However, after reading the ESRB’s reasoning for the rating, it starts to make a little more sense.

We can’t wait to see the magical scenes you’ll create with Sky AI, and the other AI-powered tools, coming later this year only to Luminar AI. Which is important, especially during those special days that you’ll never forget. You can’t predict Mother Nature, but with Sky AI in the new Luminar AI, you can get that sky you were looking for. The thumbnail browser will show you a preview of each sky, making it easy to find the right sky for your photograph. Gone are the days of keeping track of which “Bright Sky” or “Dramatic Sunset” you’d like best. Find the right sky, every timeĪlso coming in 2021, you’ll be able to browse through your library of skies in a thumbnail viewer. Sky AI works around your scene’s objects, automatically recognizing small details to make for a hyper-realistic view - just the way you'd envisioned. Ducks, leaves, beach toys … they’re all there right where they should be. The best part? All the details in your scene stay in your scene. Open both the images and then use a manually created mask to add the sky. You can even bring in things like water ripples to show some motion in your scene. I think the best option in this case would be to use layers and masks. The AI Sky Replacement tool never ceases to amaze, and for the most part it blends new skies with existing images with no visible edge effects or artefacts though sometimes you can get a ‘glow’ effect around foreground objects. If you need to dial it in a bit more, you can adjust the levels of the reflection. Some of Luminar Neo’s AI tools are quite remarkable. Sky AI will ensure that any water in your scene has your replaced sky reflected.Īnd just like your main sky, your reflected sky will adapt to your relight settings, and be blurred into the scene without any manual work from you. Instead, Luminar AI does the hard work for you, whether you’re working on that photo in front of a mystical castle you saw on vacation, or when you were at the beach hoping for a beautiful sunset. That means no more duplicating your scene, flipping it and applying a bunch of masking to make it look realistic. With Sky AI, you’ll be able to have your replaced sky reflect on the water automatically. Coming in an update to Luminar AI in 2021, you’ll be able to automatically have your sky reflect in the water in your scene, without any manual work from you.

Today, our innovation with AI Sky Replacement continues, through the Sky AI tool in Luminar AI.

The author walks through a few examples where the artificial intelligence employed can detect columns on a building and semi-transparent areas found with trees and shrubbery. The software is able to detect exactly where the sky begins and ends. Fortunately, Skylum will allow users to upload their own sky files.Īs the video clip illustrates, the AI Sky Replacement Tool automatically detects the sky, identifies its angle, and applies a replacement to make the photo more dynamic while maintaining a realistic look. One user in the video's comment section pointed out that using the same selection of skies could create a repetitive effect for photographers across the board.

Enhancing the sky on a photo is a pretty straightforward process. The young warrior explains that he has recently moved to the City and from now on, works alone. When he appears and takes him out, the burglar recognizes him and wonders what he is doing in Jump City. Bats swarm out of the shadows and after them, a caped teenage vigilante know by fearsome reputation. He is then disarmed by a flying bird-shaped glaive. However, he finds his escape short lived as he discovers he is being loomed over by some caped figure. In Jump City in the dead of night, a burglar is escaping federal pursuit with his score through an alleyway. Starfire and Robin meet for the first time She sets off an alert before flying off into space and escaping to Earth.

The visor window in the cell door cracks open and a glowing pair of fierce green eyes stares. The prisoner bangs hard on the door, shaking the entire prison block as the aliens stand guard praying the door will hold. In deep space aboard an alien cruiser, screams ring out as reptilian alien warriors prepare to deliver a prisoner under the command of Lord Trogaar. Ever wondered how the Teen Titans first met? What was Beast Boy's first joke? How did the romance between Robin and Starfire develop? Those questions will be revealed if you go back to the very beginning and find out that everything started with a certain alien girl who crash landed on Earth. When we arrived, she popped the trunk and there lied two pistols and clay disks. On one of the days during my visit, my friend took me out to one of the open spaces in Wyoming. Observing the things people would say about what was going on in the news, and about Muslims period, internally pulled me apart - I kept my mouth shut. I am Iranian by heritage, but I get away with racist comments due to my white complexion. A lot of people in Wyoming are also blind to diversity. People in Wyoming love guns, and shooting around is some peoples' favorite past time. Completely contrary to California, Wyoming is an extremely conservative state. This has made many people and even political figures jump to say we should kick all Muslims out of the United States due to their supposed “threat." This makes many Muslims and non-Muslims alike raise their eyebrows, for the majority of Muslim people are amazing, peaceful people.Ī month ago, I visited one of my best friends in Wyoming. This extremist group known as “ISIS” has caused severe harm to people all over the world, including Americans. Unfortunately, an uproar of extremist values pulled from a radicalized sector of Islam has shed some negative light on the religion as a whole. Americans have the RIGHT to exercise their faith in Islam. Billions of people across the world, and millions in America alone have found conviction in Prophet Muhammad, and found love and peace in Islam. There are hundreds of recognized, and many more unknown religions, present and practiced in America, Islam being one of the many. The first amendment in the Constitution of the United States of America grants ALL Americans the right to practice any religion, and PROHIBITS any laws impeding exercising any religion. Several Americans will shake their heads or riot in response to the idea of abolishing guns, for the truth of the matter is the majority do not use their guns to kill. The guns are what are killing our people, and it seems like it would be almost natural, common sense for legislators to abolish them! Yet, once again it is our RIGHT to bear arms. Regardless of where we place the blame, guns were designed to kill. From Sandy Hook to the recent attack in Orlando, we have had mass shootings - lives taken, families disturbed, all at the hands of guns. But over the past 10 years, our country has experienced nothing short of devastation. This is part of our constitution, we (Americans) CAN buy guns, thus making it just to own guns, and in some places, use guns. The second amendment of the United States of America states that Americans have “the right to bear arms." On that same note, millions of Americans across the country buy guns, for several purposes such as protection, hunting and so on. This may be an interesting approach to commence a discussion, as controversial as the one regarding guns and terrorism, but it is all connected. From little ones who are just learning about Christmas to the ones who can’t sleep in the three-week run-up, we’ve got toys designed to keep them all happy.

Whether you’ve got a little boy or a little girl, we’ve got items designed to put a smile on everyone’s face. While they’ll want those big presents that they don’t stop talking about, what about a few more? Our collection of toys and games is the ideal way to build their present pile this year. To be honest, they’ve probably been thinking about them all-year-round. If there’s one thing the little ones think about when Christmas is just around the corner, it’s presents. A football training set (complete with cones, discs and a football), a catch ball game, even a water bomb set (for the sunniest days only of course!) could all work wonders in finally tiring your little one out in time for bed. If your little one has a surplus of energy, then it might be worth your time picking up something from our outdoor selection. They can spend the whole day running around at school only to get home and decide they want to spend the whole evening jumping on the bed. The sets come with paints, brushes and everything you need to get creative. Choose from painting Marvel masks, painting unicorns, painting garden gnomes and loads more besides. Don’t run the risk of them drawing on the walls out of boredom, pick up an art set instead.

Or, if that all sounds a bit too muddy for you, pick up one of the Insect Play Sets, all the (plastic) bugs with none of the mud.

Making a success of blended learning is much easier when students have access to a rich suite of learning tools. And it’s why schools have sought practical technology to teach effectively, share learning resources and set and grade assessments online. It’s why sales of devices have increased as they try to give their children the best possible learning opportunity. A place to receive tuition, help from teachers, meet friends, submit assignments, find resources, and share learning tasks.Īll of this has put greater reliance on software. During lockdown they became the classroom. Before lockdown devices were used in the classroom to enhance face-to-face experiences. Today blended learning (from home and school) has become an essential teaching and learning practice. And, just as importantly, that new learning experiences can be equitable, so that no child misses out. But as the months progressed, we’ve all seen that schools now need robust and efficient long-term solutions to ensure classes can be taught just as effectively from home in an uncertain future. Teachers have done amazing things to keep students engaged during lockdown. Any HDMI cable should be able to cope with the requirements – it’s only when we move on to eARC that this could (potentially) become an issue. Using HDMI ARC does not require a new HDMI cable. If it doesn’t, you’ll need to grab a remote and tweak a few of your TV settings, including turning off your TV’s built-in speakers and enabling your telly to send audio out to an external speaker or amp. With many TVs, HDMI ARC will work automatically. Consult the TV’s user manual if you’re unsure. Labelling isn’t compulsory, but as long as your TV is a late-2009 model or newer, there should be one at your disposal. Peer around the back of your TV – if it’s packing three or four HDMI sockets, you need to find the one that’s labelled 'ARC' or 'eARC' (we'll get to the second of those shortly). To take advantage of HDMI ARC, you’ll need a television and audio processor (AV receiver or soundbar) with ARC-enabled HDMI sockets. HDMI ARC removes the need for an optical cable and allows you to send audio ‘downstream’ from a compatible HDMI socket on your TV to a compatible HDMI ARC socket on a soundbar or AV receiver. Previously, you would have to connect an optical cable from the back of your TV to an optical input on your audio device.īut that’s a messy solution. Either way, you don’t want to use your TV’s speakers for audio – you’d rather hear everything played through a soundbar or AV receiver instead. Or perhaps your smart TV is using a built-in video app such as Netflix, Disney+ or Prime Video. You have a set-top box, games console and Blu-ray player all plugged into your TV via HDMI. It was introduced as part of HDMI version 1.4 and has been part of the specification ever since. It wasn’t until 2009 that the HDMI ARC protocol was added to the spec sheet. The HDMI interface has evolved over the years, with new versions ( HDMI 2.1 is the latest) bringing support for new audio and video technologies such as 3D, 4K, 8K, HDR and high frame rates, to name but a few. As HDMI has become the de facto AV connection, traditional analogue sockets such as SCART and component video have found themselves consigned to the spare parts bin. It was billed as a convenient way to send high-quality digital picture and sound data ‘upstream’ from a source to a TV, amplifier or soundbar. HDMI launched way back in 2002, and the first consumer kit to feature this high-tech connector hit the shops in 2004. Our pick of the best AV and home cinema deals. |
