![]() The main point is that working with the RAW file you are working with the original 12 bit data in a 16 bit environment so the image is way less likely to get banding (posterisation) problems, the final jpeg is 8 bit of course but as all the adjusts take place before that then there's no problems. If going on to print some favourites then they get more individual attention on the IPS screen and re-converted. Otherwise for 'anything goes' RAW conversions I just let the defaults (my adjusted default set) happen and fix only those that look totally out of whack. I connect an Asus 24 inch IPS monitor to this i7 Win8.1 notebook when I need to get serious. It's all fiddling to personal taste and again I stress a calibrated IPS monitor helps make things better and more predictable. That's the only time you may use 100% to 400% image viewing, all the rest of the time never go past 50% to get a better idea of what a result may look like when viewed up close. Often fine tuning the white balance helps, check whether the camera WB or the software computed WB is best and then maybe offset it a bit to your taste, usually a tiny bit warmer than actuality makes things "nicer".įine tune the noise reduction and sharpening to suit the end use of the image. Usually there's basics like setting white and black points (if those 'colours' are present in the image and can be sampled easily), and also fiddling gamma or contrast or setting mid grey (if that's an option and something mid grey is present) and fiddle saturation and maybe get into geometric issues where you can fine tune the barrel and pincushion distortion, correct the vertical or horizontal perspective if using very wide angle lenses, reduce or eliminate purple or green etc fringes. Looks as though consulting something not specific to OV will be necessary for more in depth info. The link you provide Allan probably comes closest to being a tutorial, though it is intentionally limited and I think it goes overboard in dismissing the program-and OV3 is better of course. Thanks all for the comments, links and suggestions. Process Raw ORF Images In Olympus Viewer 2 This is for OV2, but a lot of it should be similar in OV3: By keeping the RAW you can always come back to favourite images later and possibly do a better job, plus of course RAW converters are getting better and better as the years plod by. The main thing is not to get too anxious about RAW conversions, let OV3 (or any other converter) do what it thinks is the way it should be then see what you think may be wrong (too bright, too dim, whites not white, blacks not black etc etc) and then adjust one thing at a time until you get something that you like better than the camera jpeg or the converter default. ![]() I try it on/off a few times to see what I like then maybe manually adjust to something in between, or just let it happen as it does better than the in-camera matrix metering. One thing I like about Silkypix is an auto "metering" button that analyses the image and comes up with what it thinks is the best adjustment to exposure to keep whites white etc. In my case slowly zeroing in on an E-PL5 set that I like, lots of fiddles like backing off the green (Silkypix just lurves to make green into GREEN) and backing off red as the Sony sensor seems a bit red enthusiastic. Once a happy set of adjusts is created then a custom Taste is written to be able to apply anytime later to any RAW. But it's too darn expensive at something like US$265 now, should be maybe a bit less than half that. In my case I find Silkypix easiest to use, very much a run down the adjustments top to bottom thing with extra sliders everywhere for everything if needed. The most important bit is to have a calibrated IPS monitor, otherwise it's all a bit hit and miss as to what you get. ![]() Anyway start here and maybe it's of some help. Oly Oz started some basic help but seemed to fizzle out before they got to really helpful stuff, like how best to get results that you like. I'm especially interested in extracting as much fine detail as possible, as well as controlling noise and recovering underexposed shots. If there is nothing detailed relating to that specific program, perhaps some might have recommendations for an introductory tutorial regarding raw processing in general? I have never really processed raw files before for various reasons, and need some guidance as to what I can do that will give me things I cannot get from shooting JPEG. I learned a fair bit by fiddling around with the program, but was hoping there might be some sort of detailed tutorial (PDF, webpage, book, video, whatever) on using the program, especially as a raw processor. I've been experimenting with Olympus Viewer 3 for processing raw shots with my E-M1. ![]()

The programs vary widely in the platforms they support, whether they can handle video content or not, ease of use, features, and pricing. Additional programs which have received good reviews are listed below the table with links. The table includes software that seems particularly well suited to classical music and/or those with audiophile tendencies. Please bear in mind that this list is not exhaustive, and there are other fine programs that are not covered here, and more are being developed all the time.īelow you will find information on several music management systems that have received positive reviews in a number of classical music forums. Whether or not you’re an iTunes user, you might want to check out some of these digital music collection managers listed below. There are ways to work around the standard template to include the information you might want about a recording, but, it’s not always straightforward. If the program you’re using has the tagging capability you want that’s great. Apple has been introducing changes to iTunes that make it more classical music-friendly, adding the ability to identify the composer, movement name and movement number. Music management programs differ in the number and variety of tags they can accommodate. ![]() Identifiers such as band, album, or conductor are known as tags, and they’re the key to being able to find the music you want in your collection. But if that information isn’t in the database, the program can’t find those tracks for you. You might want to make a playlist of works conducted by Carlos Kleiber, or compare the second movement of a symphony as conducted by various conductors (or the same symphony at various points in a conductor’s career, or with different orchestras). For classical music, one might want to know the composer, soloist(s), orchestra, conductor, work/movement, catalog number…you get the idea. The market bends toward popular music, for which knowing the band or performer, album, and song is mostly sufficient classification. To be fair, many other music management programs aren’t either. It’s fairly easy to use, it works efficiently, mostly seamlessly. It can be used on Apple and Windows computers. One of the most commonly used programs for this purpose is iTunes. But you need a program to build playlists to get the perfect music mix and to be able to search your music library for an item you want. It’s easy to buy music in digital form (see, for example, my 99 cent wonders list), or you can convert the physical media you already have (called ripping more on that another day). I’ve still got shelves of CDs (and LPs), but to play music on a portable device or computer, you have to have it in digital form. ![]() If you’re like me, you’ve acquired a substantial digital library of classical music. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As a result, you should find yourself enjoying the casual gaming experiences from the famous series even more.

These are often used to inform other symbolic or ML systems to give semantic context to information represented textually. Problems like these have led to the interesting solution of representing symbolic information as vectors embedded into high dimensional spaces, such as systems like word2vec ( Mikolov et al., 2013) or GloVe ( Pennington et al., 2014). One issue with symbolic reasoning is that symbols preferred by humans may not be easy to teach an AI to understand in human-like terms. Symbolic reasoning solutions, on the other hand, can offer a solution to these problems. At the same time, end-to-end ML solutions suffer from several disadvantages results are generally not interpretable or explainable from a human perspective, new data is difficult to absorb without significant retraining, and the amount of data/internalized knowledge required to train can be untenable for tasks that are easy for humans to solve. Indeed, as learning by example is a very necessary skill for an artificial general intelligence, it seems that ML's success bodes its necessity - in some form or other - in future AI systems. Over the past decade, Machine Learning (ML) has made great strides in its capabilities to the point that many today cannot imagine solving complex, data-hungry tasks without its use. Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first instance in which meaningful hyperdimensional representations of images are created on real data, while still maintaining hyperdimensionality. In addition to this, we show that separate network outputs can directly be fused at the vector symbolic level within HILs to improve performance and robustness of the overall model. We design the Hyperdimensional Inference Layer (HIL) to facilitate this process and evaluate its performance compared to baseline hashing networks. By using hashing neural networks to produce binary vector representations of images, we show how hyperdimensional vectors can be constructed such that vector-symbolic inference arises naturally out of their output. We describe a method in which the two can be combined in a natural and direct way by use of hyperdimensional vectors and hyperdimensional computing. It has been proposed that machine learning techniques can benefit from symbolic representations and reasoning systems. ![]() 2Computational and Information Sciences Directorate, Army Research Laboratory, Adelphi, MD, United States.1Computer Vision Laboratory, Department of Computer Science, University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies, University of Maryland, College Park, MD, United States.Anton Mitrokhin 1 † Peter Sutor 1 * † Douglas Summers-Stay 2 Cornelia Fermüller 1 Yiannis Aloimonos 1 ![]() ![]() This is again to assess the budget of a movie.
