Darktable doesn’t have a mobile version and it’s also not possible at this point to use it online. Users complain it often crashes and it also runs a bit slower than its rivals in general. Some of its current key features include a powerful export system, tethered shooting for some camera brands, non-destructive editing throughout the whole workflow, and advanced colour management – see more features in our Darktable review.Īs a piece of software that’s free of charge, this program does come with some disadvantages. It was created by photographers for photographers and it’s here to meet the basic challenges which image editing involves. It also doesn’t require as much RAM as Photoshop.ĭarktable is an open-source photo editing application and Adobe Photoshop alternative which can also process your RAW files. If you don’t want to spend any money editing images, GIMP can be a better Photoshop alternative for you. The name of this plugin is Resynthesizer and it’s one of the oldest and the most useful enhancements created for this platform. It can even support an equivalent to Photoshop’s Content-Aware Fill tool. GIMP is famous for the wide variety of plugins that it can offer to its users. It also doesn’t require as much RAM as Photoshop. One other great advantage of the platform is the possibility of modifying it so that it matches your personal preferences. In GIMP you’ll be able to create masks and layers, and also make colour adjustments whenever needed. The interface of GIMP is also quite straightforward and it won’t take you long to get accustomed to the program. The editing platform combines an array of professional features which can easily compete with the functionalities of Photoshop itself. (GIMOP stands for GNU image manipulation program, and is used by everyone from beginner artists to experienced photo editors.) This open-source photo editor has been in the game for quite a long time: its initial release was 24 years ago, in 1996. GIMP is considered by many to be one of the best free Photoshop alternatives out there. See also: What can I use instead of Adobe? It may not have the fancy AI tools of Photoshop, but instead, it offers a simple, easy to understand interface with virtually no learning curve, making it perfect for beginners to create eye-catching graphic designs. Photographers and creative professionals often use the free version of Canva to create graphics quickly and easily – think of it as a website to Photoshop pictures for free. That’s not something you’ll find native to Adobe Photoshop. It’s an online tool, which does have its pros and cons – one big plus is that you don’t need a powerful computer to use it (and won’t run into the dreaded Photoshop ‘scratch disk full’ error), but you’ll obviously need an Internet connection to get started.Ĭanva has a huge number of free icons, badges, design grids, stickers and photo frames that look up-to-date and very fresh. So how does it stack up as a Photoshop alternative? Well, it doesn’t have all the advanced retouching features of Photoshop, but there are enough one-click tools to help you edit photos and create custom graphics. The free online storage is particularly impressive, considering that with Photoshop you need to pay for online storage as part of the Creative Cloud.Ĭanva is the best choice when it comes to combining images with text, which is quite often needed when you create content for Instagram and other social media platforms – all the specific sizes are already available as templates, ready for you to use. With the free version of Canva, you can have up to 10 team members, access to more than 8,000 templates to choose from and edit, and a generous 1GB storage for photos and assets. It also has a more advanced pro version which costs $9.95 when paid annually and $12.95 if it’s paid on a monthly basis. Millions of people consider it the best substitute for Photoshop – it’s actually a website like Photoshop, but free (there’s no software to download). Canva is a simple, fun and feature-packed web-based design platform which allows you to create professional-looking content for all kinds of social media.

This guide is for people who want to attempt to repair their own tapes. ![]() Maybe I’m being too hard on them I hold National Geographic to a higher standard when it comes to customer service. I find this answer perfectly reasonable, from the organization’s perspective, but a little lacking in compassion. She then suggested you find the new CD set at your local library. No company can guarantee that an electronic product will never become outdated.” It is not a matter of ‘doing wrong’ to the customer but, rather, is the nature of technological advancement. She added, “Like every other business that sells electronic products, National Geographic has made products that are no longer sold because of advancements in the electronics industry. “While no one enjoys having to periodically replace or update our cell phones, computers, record players, vinyl records, 8-track players, videocassettes, VCRs, DVD players, dial-up Internet service, copper-cable telephone service, rooftop television antennas, home air-conditioners that use Freon, boomboxes, cars, analog television sets, incandescent lightbulbs, etc., ever-advancing technology sometimes requires it,” the representative noted. The email goes on to explain the problem of obsolescence. ![]() We regret any inconvenience this has caused you.” “As we have previously advised you, this product has been out of print, unavailable, and unsupported for a number of years now as new technologies and products have taken its place. “You said you feel you have been ‘wronged’ because this set no longer works,” a representative said. When you appealed the rejection, you received a note that I find troubling. Where my friends at the Society were wrong is in assuming that this was your problem, not theirs. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from advocating these kinds of cases, it’s to never say never.) The technology it sold you back in 2000 is no longer supported, and my own research suggests that you wouldn’t be able to easily make the CDs you own backward-compatible with your current PC. National Geographic is right, in one sense. I can’t be impartial in this case but I also can’t look the other way. Focused first on client needs, we have built (and continue to build!) relationships with the world’s most sought-after lifestyle and fashion brands to open the world - beyond imagination - to our clients. My latest book, “How To Be The World’s Smartest Traveler,” was published by National Geographic.ĮMBARK Beyond is a luxury travel advisory dedicated to creating thoughtfully designed experiences that go beyond a destination. If I bought all of the issues of National Geographic on CD-ROM and could no longer view them, I’d also be unhappy.īefore we go any further, a big disclaimer: I am National Geographic Traveler’s reader advocate and an editor at large for the magazine. Sean Corcoran, Lawrence, Mass.Īnswer: This is not silly at all. I also wonder if the disks now being sold could soon be worthless because the Society again decides to abandon its obligations once it has a customer’s money in hand. I am rather offended that the only solution offered is that I pay for the exact same thing twice. But it appears to me that the Society made a decision not to fulfill its obligation in this instance. I would understand if the Society asked me to purchase the 2000s update or something, I’d understand that. The email went on to say I can now buy a 7 CD-ROM set. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause. No updates are available for this version of the software, and we are no longer able to provide any technical support for the CD-ROM collection. “Unfortunately, as technology changed and improved, the Complete National Geographic Collection on CD-ROM became outdated and was discontinued in 2002. An inquiry to the Society resulted in this email: No way to view the magazines or search them. I went to use the set the other day with my son, and I learned it was no longer “supported” by the society. I’ve been lugging this box around for 14 years. It was about $200, and it came in a beautiful, red velvet-lined wooden box. Question: In 2000, I purchased a 30-disk CD-ROM set from the National Geographic Society with all the issues up to 1998. ![]() When Sean Corcoran’s CD collection becomes obsolete, he turns to National Geographic for help. The wood part would be no problem to build, but I’m completely lost by the tufting. This ottoman is just what I’m looking for. I just stumbled across your blog and am amazed at how talented you are! I’m quite the DIY girl myself, but I have to bow down to you! Those kitchen cabinets in your condo….wow…the green w/the gold leaf is just too much for words. In the meantime, I’m sure I’ll be hanging out some on my Facebook page, so come join me if you haven’t already! I’ll be gone all next week, and I’ll return on Monday, January 6th. And hopefully, I’ll have time to work on some new projects that I can dazzle y’all with in the new year. For the sake of my sanity and my marriage, I need to step away from the computer and get things under control here. Those things can make anyone look like a pro.Īnd with this DIY ottoman coffee table project finished, I’m going to say goodbye to y’all for a few days, and I’ll see you in the new year! I’ve been working so furiously on projects that my house looks like a tornado went through. The base? That was the easy part with the help of my Kreg Jig. So what do you think? Would you ever tackle this project? The tufting really is the hardest part, but you just have to go into it knowing that it will take lots of patience and that you’ll end up with very sore fingers for a couple of days. The fabric I used was a woven upholstery weight fabric that cost $21.99 per yard from Decorator’s Best. Of course, keep in mind that the fabric is a huge factor in how much this ottoman will cost since fabric varies so widely in price. That’s not too bad for a completely custom ottoman, made the exact size and color you want, with the exact fabric you choose! But if you had to purchase those things, you could still easily make this ottoman for under $350. I also used some things that I always have on hand, like wood glue, staples, finishing nails, etc. 3 yards of 54-inch fabric (Robert Allen Tex Weave in the color Baltic) – $65.97. ![]()
“One of the biggest things is because our stories are organic and true, it needs less money to drive it to words. Keeping a lean marketing budget is crucial for Lam: only 8 per cent of Daily Paper’s sales are dedicated to marketing, including shoots, ad buying and other brand activations. It wasn't set up like, ‘oh, wow, let's do a marketing gimmick to get exposure’, it was like, ‘let's do this, because we want to give back to the community.’ And the world picked up on that.” The partnership tapped into a vital element of sports in streetwear, and underscored their own core strategy of showcasing culture and community, Lam says. “I remember when we did the soccer field, together with Puma, instead of a campaign, that became the campaign. It chimes with Euromonitor International’s lifestyles survey, showing some 60 per cent of Gen Z and millennials make their purchasing decisions based on brands’ social and political beliefs.ĭaily Paper’s second capsule collaboration with Puma in 2017 was inspired by the football kits of Puma sponsored teams from the Confederation of African Football.

So we created a whole new platform called the Unite Hub,” Osei says. “We really needed to find different ways to communicate with our audience, based on the fact that we were not able to do offline activations. Keeping their community alive and engaged in the pandemic meant reverting back to their blogging roots. "There is an appetite from our customers to explore and question the heritages and cultural references behind their clothes and Daily Paper brings something meaningful and relevant to the streetwear scene, helping its appeal and relevance amongst educated customers," says Heather Gramston, head of womenswear buying at Browns. “Culture and the same values in streetwear is much more important for a brand to represent in order for customers to select them."īrowns say their consumers are drawn to Daily Paper's unique and inclusive approach. "One factor that makes a streetwear brand successful is its heritage and being authentic about something,” says Leeb. “But in building an experience we try to connect with the local community, because that's the only way that it can work for us.”ĭaily Paper’s message is clear: it’s a brand that spotlights African culture and represents those of the diaspora community.

Generally, iron tools were used to enlarge the fractures in the rock and assist in breaking it away from the face. Shaft sinking techniques under the Romans were not very different from those the Egyptians employed earlier. Shafts during Roman times were square, small (one to two metres), and braced with wood to prevent collapse. Inclined or vertical shafts were necessary to provide access, ventilation, and a means of removal of the minerals. Shaft sinking and deep vein mining were recorded in Roman literature. Rome explored all around the Mediterranean for mineral wealth to support its rising empire. The Romans followed the Greeks as leaders of the then known world. He speaks of fire-setting, breaking the rock with chisels, miners who wore candles on their foreheads, and of “overseers who never cease with blows.” The Greek historian Agatharcides, writing about 200 BCE, gives a vivid description of mining under the Egyptians. Once removed, the broken rock was placed in baskets, which were carried on workers’ backs up the shaft via ladders and footholds cut into the rock walls. After heating, the rock was doused with water causing it to shatter and become easier to extract with the copper bars and wedges. Fire quenching was the rock breaking method of the day. Egyptian miners of the day apparently wore loincloths, perhaps headbands and, if a prisoner, ankle manacles. Mining operations in the Timna Valley peaked in the 14th to 12th centuries BCE. Some of these shafts were over 30 metres deep. The Egyptian miners who worked both the mines in Nubia and in the Timna Valley used metal chisels and hoes, and excavated very regular, circular shafts with footholds in the walls for moving up and down. Underground mining by the Egyptians was carried out over a wide area with two places in particular being well known-the Nubian Desert in northern Sudan and the Timna Valley in what is now Israel. Iron was not successfully smelted until about 1400 BCE. This development led to significant improvement in the quality of weapons and tools. The copper based cultures of the world were replaced by cultures using bronze by about 1500 BCE. From Egypt and Mesopotamia, the knowledge of metals spread across Europe. Copper was used to make tools and weapons. A civilization using considerable amounts of copper was established in Mesopotamia by about 3500 BCE and in Egypt by about 3000 BCE. Copper and gold were the first metals gathered in any quantity, with copper being particularly important. It is important to realize that the valleys of the Tigris, Euphrates, and Nile were home to the first metal-using cultures. Ventilation methods were also primitive, often limited to waving a canvas at the mouth of the shaft. Fire setting was practiced for assistance in fracturing the rock and making it easier to remove with the primitive tools that were available at the time. Their main excavation tools were wedges and picks made from deer antlers and shovels made from the shoulder blades of oxen.ĭuring this early period, it is thought that the spoil from shaft sinking was hauled to surface in leather bags or wicker baskets, by one or two men. Shallow shafts were commonly being sunk as deep as 300 feet or 90 metres in the chalk beds of northern France and southern England in the Neolithic period (8000 BCE to 2000 BCE). The earliest miners sought flint for tools and weapons. The period from antiquity to 1600 AD covers a huge time period and many changes in civilization however, from the early mining by the Egyptians, through Roman times, the Dark Ages, and then the Medieval period, very little changed as far as the techniques tilized for sinking shafts. Advance rates at the end of this period were probably in the range of one to two metres per month. Agricola, in his book De Re Metallica published in 1556, gives a number of references to shaft sinking. The trade of mining, which included shaft sinking, became a respected profession. The social chaos and general economic instability persisted until the 11th century.įrom 1100 – 1500 AD the status of the miner was much changed from Roman times. With the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century, shaft sinking and mining activity decreased substantially due to the instability in Western Europe. Towards the end of the Roman period, prisoners of war became less available and working conditions improved dramatically. Shaft sinking in the Egyptian period and early Roman period was carried out by prisoners of war and criminals, and conditions were terrible. The Egyptians mined gold as long as 4,000 years ago, and it is thought that the Persians, Greeks, and Romans learned their shaft sinking techniques from the Egyptians. ![]() The sinking of mine shafts has been going on for thousands of years.
