Sedsoft System Fonts are a collection of shareware Truetype fonts that simulate Windows and DOS raster (bitmap) fonts that would normally be unavailable in XARA or other vector based drawing packages. They have been designed to behave like bitmap fonts, forming non anti-aliased characters regardless of Xara's quality setting. This has the advantages of increased legibility and accurate reproduction of system fonts in pseudo screen shots. Although primarily designed to be used in the manner described below, they can be used just like any other Truetype font in any application that supports them. Shareware.

Erik Heyninck provides this Zone System Grayscale Chart. “You can easily adjust your monitor's midrange brightness with it, as all the grays must be clearly discernible (under the proper lightning conditions).“ “The Zone System is a method of dividing the gray values between and including black and white into eleven levels. Black is Zone 0, White is Zone 10. Zone 1 is dark gray without detail, Zone 9 is light gray without detail. Zone 5 is medium Gray. It was invented by the great photographer Ansell Adams and is very popular with photographers. Nowadays with computers it isn't that difficult anymore, but I remember Sundays in my small darkroom trying to "develop for the lights" in the images I had "exposed for the shadows". Beneath the Zones I have added the corresponding RGB values. When the numbers in any RGB value are identical, you get a gray. So when you enter these numbers on the chart in the R, G and the B value, you get these grays. |

Viewer 1.0 An Automated Portfolio ©1999 by Marcus Geduld Marcus Geduld has written a splendid little freeware application, Viewer 1.0. This application takes the drudgery out of adding new images to an existing portfolio of images on your site. You upload new images to a directory on your server, and Viewer 1.0 takes over from there and creates a new page for the image. Viewer is written in a language called Perl, which is often used for web programming. You can see it in action by visiting Marcus’s site and clicking on the new pictures link. “If I want to add a new picture, all I have to do (besides drawing the picture, of course), is to upload the picture into a folder called Graphics on my server. And it will magically appear in my portfolio. No HTML. No linking.” Sounds good to me! CLICK HERE for more details, and/or to download your copy of Marcus’s Viewer. |
