(OT) What would you call this section of a Graphic Portfolio website?

On my graphic design portfolio website, there will be a Portfolio section where you'll see finished items like posters and flyers.
But I'll also add a section containing various airbrushing/photoshopping jobs. This section will hold before/after images... like 1) A picture of a person, 2) A picture of a cave, and 3) The photoshopped picture of the person inside the cave, with arrows to indicate that the first two pictures were merged. The section will also contain traditional airbrushing (before/after model shots).
I am reluctant to call it just "Airbrushing" because there's a lot more intricate work than that. Taking a person or object out of one environment and placing them in another is referred to as "Photoshopping" nowadays... but I'd like to use an expression that isn't specific to this program, if at all possible. What would be a more appropriate name for such a section?
I thought of "Photo Editing". Would that work? Or does that make you think of something else entirely?

Well, I was being serious.  You didn't list the size limitation initially.
How about "Work Samples", "See My Work", "Some of My Work".

  • What do you call this basic technique?

    Request: Is there a name for the technique I'm using below, because I
    know I've seen it and done it before.
    Context: I'd like to allow the user to resize images, while preserving
    their width:height aspect ratio. My GUI has a pair of JSpinners, for width
    and height, and when one is adjusted, the other should change.
    Example: if the aspect ratio is 2:1, setting the width spinner to 201
    should cause the height spinner to change to 100 (I truncate), whilst setting
    the height spinner to 100 should cause the width spinner to change to 200.
    But: I don't want those reactions to cascade: from the example, if the
    user sets the width spinner to 201, the height spinner should change to 100,
    but that is where it should stop -- the width spinner shouldn't itself react
    and change to 200.
    My solution: I'm a fan of fixing it in the model, and here is my tweak for
    SpinnerNumberModel: public class SafeSpinnerNumberModel extends SpinnerNumberModel {
         public SafeSpinnerNumberModel(int value, int minimum, int maximum, int stepSize) {
             super(value, minimum, maximum, stepSize);
         public void setValue(Object value) {
             if (!inSetValue) {
                 inSetValue = true;
                 super.setValue(value);
                 inSetValue = false;
         private boolean inSetValue;
    In my code, there are two JSpinners (with SafeSpinnerNumberModels),
    and each model has a ChangeListener that reacts by adjusting the other model.
    The flag stops the potential feedback loop.
    So, again, what would you call this technique?
    Thanks,

I have no idea what any of this is, but its all thousands of rows of red-green-yellow, telling who's not doing any work. And if you change one value all the colors change all over the place. I bet they have Tetris encoded in there.

  • What do you call this?

    Hi, I'm very junior in programming and I want to build my
    resume from what I learn everyday at work. Today I learned how to
    write an application using CF without any interface. What my app.
    does is to read a text file, my boss calls this file a feed file.
    Then I put the records into a tables in a DB and then I need to use
    these tables to
    create the rest of the logic. After I'm done with it I need
    to set up my app. to pick up this feed every day once a day in
    certain location. So I also learned how to set up a schedule Task
    from CF administrator.
    Now, i want to write this experience in my resume, what am i
    supposed to say? can anyone help please? Thank you
    guyzzz....

  • "Do you want to allow the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to this computer?" I mean....what would you do? Is it safe to click yes....(Don Don Don...*sound effect*)..please help...

    Okay everybody...so I'm on the struggle bus so I'm going from Photoshop cs6 off my old broken laptop to trying to dwn Photoshop Cs2...either way I love PS. Now when I tried downloading it for free from Adobe...succeeded...but when I went to the download folder to install it, it said "Do you want to allow the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to this computer?" I mean....what would you do? Is it safe to click yes....(Don Don Don...*sound effect*)..please help...

    If you already have a license for photoshop cs6, why do you want photoshop cs2?
    You can just install photoshop cs6 on your new computer provided both operating systems are the same kind (both mac or both windows)
    If you don't have an install dvd for cs6, you can download photoshop cs6 from here and use your serial:

  • Question:  Do I need to run and anti virus program with MAC OSX Lion? Have heard different opinions! If so what would you recommend? Was looking at Sophos. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks

    Question:  Do I need to run and anti virus program with MAC OSX Lion? Have heard different opinions! If so what would you recommend? Was looking at Sophos. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks

    Do I need to run and anti virus program with MAC OSX Lion? Have heard different opinions!
    You will continue to hear different opinions here, where thoughts range everywhere between "anti-virus software is the evil spawn of Satan" to "anyone not running anti-virus software is a fool."
    Truth is, this is still a very personal decision on a Mac. Depending on circumstances, it is still very easily possible to stay safe without using anti-virus software, but circumstances and personal preferences vary widely. Besides which, anti-virus software cannot even remotely provide you a guarantee of protection!
    To learn how to stay safe (with or without anti-virus software), and how to decide whether to use anti-virus software, see my Mac Malware Guide.

  • This is just to report a problem with Apple updates. I updated recently and the computer brought up my 2012 desktop with all my 2014 files and data including stickies missing! Now I hesitate to do another Apple update. What would you do?

    Apple Updates: This is just to report a problem. I updated recently and on restart the computer restored up my 2012 desktop with all my 2014 files and data including stickies missing!!! Now I hesitate to do another Apple update. What would you do?

    If all your files are missing
    You may have logged in as a different user, such as Guest. Open the Users & Groups pane in System Preferences. Your name should be at the top of the user list, under Current User. See also this support article.   
    If files are missing from one folder
    Change the Finder view mode; for example, from icon view to list view, or vice versa.
    If files are present, but seem outdated
    You may have started up from a different volume (disk.) Open the Startup Disk preference pane and check the selection.

  • What would you say to this BI approach?

    Hello,
    There is a person who approaches to the BI like this:
    select campo1, campo2, 'EMPTY' as campo3
    case when .... end as campo4 from tabla1 left outer tabla2 where campo1 in (select ..... union all select campo1, campo2, campo3, 'EMPTY' as campo4 from tabla2 ...
    the view ends up being several pages , lots of fields and joins.
    For this person , ETL , data cleaning is  to use empty
    values ​​( ' empty ') or dummy to complete and you fit the binding ...
    Sure, it's faster, but is really crazy , because this
    is not ETL or anything , no DW, a huge view after it is created as fact table and dimension.
    The information is collected from the data source (ERP ) in warm (no DW)
    , not treated well and when there is a fault its a hell to find it.
    To avoid "losing records " uses left outer join!
    If you use an inner join to prevent losing data she does outer join. Better not speak about performance.
    At the end it looks like more a  report than BI.
    What would you say ?
    many thanks!
    Example of the result:
    Fact table it´s also dimension table (linked by "id registro") the rest of the dimensions are time dimensions

    This approach is ultimately not scalable or maintainable over the long term.  The complexity of the ETL will eventually reach a point where you need to do something that you can't do in a view.  Additionally, views require you to nest logic rather
    than doing things step-by-step, which can be harder to debug and maintain.  I am speaking as a person who has done this, successfully, in certain situations.
    Also, depending on the cardinality and number of columns in the only non-time dimension, ideally those would be separated into other dimensions.
    However, if I had to guess, there are reasons behind this approach.  Is this cube reloaded throughout the day?  Is this a prototype/proof of concept where the developer is trying to show what is possible and demonstrate value before embarking on
    a longer development process?  When you encounter wacky code, as we all do, it is important to consider the reasons behind it.

  • What would you do with this credit profile? I need your expertise.

    Hello MyFico Community,
    I am trying to build a decent credit profile. Is there anything I should be doing or not doing to improve my Credit Profile?

    What I'd do doesn't really matter.  These are not one-size-fits-all matters so each needs to determine his/her own strategy and tactics based on the individual's situation, goals, priorities, preferences, etc.  IMO you don't know what to do because you're not clear on these matters.  Very True, I am not clear but with the help of the community giving me things to consider I am getting there.
    You need to define what you needs/want and then prioritize that list.  That will give you a list of critiera that you then use to select cards that suit you. Thanks. Good way to focus my thinking about it.
    Rewards is a common criteria and if rewards matter to you then you need to look at your spend and where your money is going to select rewards with the most benefit to you. Since i’m going to be using a main CC, I’d rather have cash rewards first or rewards that are versatile for gift cards. I already have a travel card that works well for me so thats not that important.

    AAof Credit:  Not sure about this Experian/Credit.com- 6.7 years. Credit Sesame says 1.8 months?  Thanks. Was wondering where they figured this. AAoA is just an average like any other average.  Add up the ages of the accounts and divide by the number of accounts.  Many find it easier to convert into months, calculate and then convert back into years.  You can use Excel and its date formulas if you don't want to do this manually.  There are also online AAoA calculators.  Experian is more likely to be correct.  CS is probably providing AAoOA.

Is this a good plan? You're really not leveraging a 0% offer if you're PIF'ing each month.  However, if you're not PIF'ing each month on cards without 0% offers then you're killing rewards.Okay this is confusing, would you mind clarifying? The Amex and QS have 0% interest for well into next year (not sure of exact date, I will look up again) so it would seem that it would not matter if i carry balance or pay in full until the real APR begins next year.
    So whats the best way to utilize these as my main cards to get as much cash back(QS) and MR point as possible. Carry balance or pif, or does it not matter in this case for now?
     RandomSpirit wrote:
    Are there other cards I should look at acquiring?  As with all other request you need to tell us what you need/want so we have something to use to narrow down the options for you.
    Now, I am leaning towards low interest being the most important to me, secondly would be cash back.
    RandomSpirit wrote:
    Was thinking about BoA Cash Rewards offer for 12.99 because of the lower interest rateHere's an example of why a prioritized list of criteria matters.  If the lowest possible interest is a priority above all else then you shouldn't be looking at rewards cards as they typically come with higher interest rates.  If you want the lowest possible APR you need to fins a barebones card.  They're offered with rates as low as 6.x% depending on what you qualify for. This is most important to me
    That said, rewards and a low APR aren't mutually exclusive but typically rewards cards will come with a higher APR as you aren't getting something for nothing.  While I do try to get my APR's as low as possible you might want to consider why APR is a concern if you're paying in full. In case I ever have to carry a real balance.Not telling you what to do here but consdier such things when prioritizing your list.  For example: is a lower APR more important than the biggest rewards for your spend?

    Citi Dble Cash and, perhaps
    Chase Freedom for sign-up bonus?
    Honestly, I was thinking  to have a more diversified portfolio. I don;t have any Chase or City cards.So far we have:
    • 1 Low APR
    • 2-High rewards rate on non-category spend (Double Cash)
    • 4-Sign up bonus
    • 3-Diversity
    Which is most important?  Which is least?  Where do the rest fall?  We can't tell you this.  You need to tell us.
    Again, I'd recommend looking at your spend and ensuring that your card lineup maxmizes rewards on your spend.  The Double Cash is a good option for non category spend but if you haven't found higher rewards for a major spend category that you have then you might want to look into finding something for that category. Thanks for taking the time to offer your suggestions Tekeshi74. If gives me a lot consider.

  • What would you do with this system and very little geekness?

    I am a student and I have a $1000 budget to upgrade my Dell Precision T5400. What would you do?
    Here is what the computer has now. It's 300gb only one harddrive is red-lining, almost full.
    I want to run Premiere Pro CS5 and AfterEffects. Those are the classes I want to take.
    Although as soon as CS6 shows, I will upgrade to that.
    Windows Vista 64bit
    Dell Precision, T5400 Mini-Tower Quad Core Xeon Proc E5420, 2.50GHZ, 2x6MB L2 Cache, 1333MHz

    320GB SATA 3.0Gb/s, 7200RPM HardDrive with 8MB DataBurst Cache, Dell Precision T7400/5400
    C1 All SATA Hard Drive Non-Raid for 1 hard drive
    Mini-Tower chassis configuration, Dell Precision T3400
    I am trying to decide to go buy another computer ($3000 budget for that) or try to upgrade
    this one ($1000 budget for that).
    What is good here and what needs replacing? I have never built a system.

    I agree with some of the above comments, but not all.
    First, 24GB of RAM is a nice luxury option, but it's not the minimum for AE - come on RJL you know better than to say that. 16 would be more than enough for a student project. I run a business, and it's more than enough for me. 16GB is affordable. It's about $150.00 max.
    The Quadro card is over priced, and undervalued. Something like the Nvidia GTX570, 580,590 starting at about $335.00 is Adobe Authorized, and lots of performance.
    Now, I'm running a 6 core AMD, but most people will tell you an Intel system is better. According to the benchmark, it seems correct. Get a nice i7 chip. What ever you can afford.
    Motherboard. Look to spend in the $220 range. Gigybyte makes a nice one, so does Asus.
    Hard drives, one of the better things you need to consider. A 2-4 disk RAID 0 - say 4X1TB, or if that's too much $$ then 4X500GB for less than $400 would be your best investment with a 500GB system drive.
    Case count on $100 with enough fans, card reader,
    DVD burner $70.00etc.
    So, if you looked at it my way. Here is your parts list from Newegg. You will toss another $100 or so in cables and fans, etc.

  • One Accesspoint and two server...what would you suggest?

    Hello!
    I'm developing an application which handles two wireless barcodereaders. There are two computers, and one of them is connected with the accesspoint.
    The communication to and from the accesspoint is managed with an COM Component, which is used from Java.
    The barcodescanners should interact with my application , for excample if the salesman scanns a customer-ticket, the customers data should be displayed on the screen. The barcodereaders can be identified with an uniqu id, so it's no problem to know where the data came from.
    But my problem is...I'm getting all of the events to the computer which is connected with the accesspoint....
    How do I tell the other computer to display the customers data which have been scanned with the other barcodereader?
    How can I get the event handled on the other computer???
    Sockets would be a possible way, but I think that might get very complex - than i thought i could call with RMI a fireEvent Method on the 2nd computer...!?!
    What would you do to solve this problem?
    I'd be happy for your help!
    Greetings Martin G.

    Nobody out there who knows how to solve this problem?
    My main problem is how to get events which occure on on computer handled on the other computer!?!
    I'd be very happy for your help

  • Random kernel panics on iPhone 4 GSM: what would you do?

    Hello all,
    I'm posting here in hopes that someone could help shed some light on the matter before I give up and send my phone in for repair, provided it will be repaired/replaced given how random this issue is.
    I've had an iPhone 4 since November 2010, a GSM unit as I'm in Europe. Jailbroke it on a dull day just to see if I'd have any use for that, restored it to stock firmware (using the backup I had created before applying the jb) about 24 hours later. No trace of jb on it at all nowadays, basically. The phone and the system are as vanilla as they can be. The only customization, so to speak, is the provisioning profiles in my name as I'm an iOS developer.
    Ever since March, the phone will sometimes randomly reboot. There is no pattern whatsoever: I may be fiddling with it, I may be keeping it in my pocket, it may be charging, it may be placidly sitting on a table undisturbed. Out of the blue, the Apple logo will show up and the thing will reboot, and won't ask for the PIN either. I hadn't thought much of it as it was very rare, but lately it's become more apparent and I decided to look for some logs.
    To my horror, I found that ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/Jolliphone/Panics on my Mac was way overpopulated. The weirdest thing is that all the logs look virtually the same, although they all end abruptly in different points (which suggests that they were so brutal that there was no "time" to write the whole thing down.)
    Here is an example:

    They are all like that. The only thing that's different is the OS system, which ranges from 4.3 to 4.3.3, and the location that generated the panic:
    panic(cpu 0 caller 0x8007f3e5): "buf_brelse: bad buffer = 0xd0704640\n"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1735.46/bsd/vfs/vfs_bio.c:2348
    panic(cpu 0 caller 0x8007f3e5): "buf_brelse: bad buffer = 0xd070aa98\n"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1735.46/bsd/vfs/vfs_bio.c:2348
    panic(cpu 0 caller 0x8007f3e5): "buf_brelse: bad buffer = 0xd06fdf88\n"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1735.46/bsd/vfs/vfs_bio.c:2348
    …and so on. The caller is always 0x8007f3e5, and the buffer location is always in 0x0d6…–0x0d7… range. This is what leads me to think that it may be some memory problem.
    As I said there is absolutely no pattern in this. Sometimes it will stay a month without panicking – after a few panics on April 1st, it happened again on May 2nd – yet in other occasions it will panic 4 times within 8 minutes as it happened yesterday morning.
    Lately it's been happening more often when I charge it using the wall adapter, but then again it's fairly inconsistent: I have kept it connected since last evening on purpose, and it hasn't panicked once.
    I have tried restoring it as a new phone, just to make sure that it wasn't a software problem, and the very same thing happened as soon as I connected to my father's iPad 2 adapter.
    If you have read so far, I want to thank you very much for your patience. I'll get to the point: what should I do?
    I spent 35 minutes on the phone with AppleCare this morning and was about to give the green light to have it picked up, but the woman told me that I couldn't provide the logs to tech support, and that they'd run some tests on their own and, if they could reproduce the problem, I would get a refurbished phone in place of this one, otherwise they'd send the same unit back. Considering that it's impossible to reproduce it on purpose, I'm afraid that I will just end up being phoneless for two weeks (with the added issue of finding a way to stick this micro-sim into a phone that takes regular-sized sims), and ultimately be sent back the faulty phone.
    I told the woman I'd consider going to the Apple Store in Rome, so I could at least speak with a human person and expose the problem in more detail. I do have a repair ID and apparently I can just book a slot at the genius bar and have them access the repair ID data.
    The problem is that I live 200 km from Rome, and it would take the better part of a day and it would be more money spent on this issue to get there and back. And I wouldn't even be certain that they'd replace it: even if they agree to replace it, what if they're out of stock on 32 GB units, for instance?
    So here is the dilemma: I have a phone that feels very unstable given the 18 (eighteen) panics I've had in the last three days, and I'm facing either wasting time and money to go to an Apple Store, or being without the phone for the better part of two weeks, again without any certainty.
    Going to my carrier (Vodafone) is pointless: they referred me to Apple; at most they will ship it for me, but at that point I'd rather do it myself.
    As for the local Apple Premium Reseller, they are an authorized support center for Macs, but they don't offer any support for iPhones at all.
    What would you do?
    Thanks.

    Not saying you are complaining, I know it isn't what one likes, but just the way it is and quite normal.
    You can buy a used one from somewhere and just continue on your same contract (if same type of phone, eg: You didn't have original one before and go buy a used 3G now..then you need to change plans). But if you had 3G before and buy a used 3G now, you can activate it and your contract shouldn't restart.
    A used one you buy shouldn't have a SIM card in it but even if it does, you don't want to use it. You need to go to AT&T store and request a new SIM. They will give you one set for your account and you just go home and activate using same account (thus no contract changing). If you try to use another SIM without getting one from AT&T it could mess with your contract so best to deal with them first to get one coded for you. There is nothing wrong with buying a used iPhone and saying you want to put it on your existing account. You can do that with any phone. You already have the data plan etc required so they don't care.
    That was useful info, and I'm not complaining (well, I am, but it does no good, so it's a rhetorical complaint)...
    What I'm really looking for is opinions about what would be the most sensible/cost effective way to go right now, given the available options.
    Thanks,

  • STS question, what would you answer. NO STS employees pls!

    You have written a procedure that checks for the existence of students registered for a course. This code must be executed whenever a course is deleted. Which type of trigger should be used to call this procedure?
    Key trigger
    Mouse trigger
    Validation trigger
    Transactional trigger
    What would you reply, i personally went for the last one
    Gus

    if this code has to be executed every time a course is deleted, then use a BEFORE-EACH-ROW-Trigger on the table directly.
    Only if you need the code in the forms you should write it there.
    Watch out for mutating and constraining-trigger-problems in the database.
    try it
