This Key creates transparency from opposite starting points by dividing an image into two mattes, Matte Partial A and Matte Partial B. Matte Partial B bases the transparency on the specified key color, and Matte Partial A bases transparency on areas of the image that do not contain a second, different color. By combining the two mattes into a third matte, called the alpha( ) matte, the Color Difference Key creates well-defined transparency values.

3D Channel effects read and manipulate the additional channels of information, includingz- depth, surface normals, object ID, texture coordinates, background color, unclamped RGB, and material ID. You can matte 3D elements along a z axis, insert other elements in a 3D scene, blur areas in a 3D scene, isolate 3D elements, apply a foggy effect with depth, and extract 3D channel information for use as parameters in other effects.

Whenever I withdrew to the computer room, my wife would say that I was off to my “fun and games.” I would flatly deny this accusation, saying that it was serious work that I was involved in. But later, when I emerged with a twinkle in my eye and excitedly asked her to take a look at my latest rendering, I knew that she was right. Working with 3D graphics is pure “fun and games.” My goal in writing this book was to take all my fun years of playing in 3D and boil them down into something that’s worthwhile for you—the reader. This goal was compounded...

Adobe Photoshop (thường được gọi là Photoshop) là một phần mềm đồ họa chuyên dụng của hãng Adobe Systems ra đời vào năm 1988 trên hệ máy Macintosh. Photoshop được đánh giá là phần mềm dẫn đầu thị trường về sửa ảnh bitmap và được coi là chuẩn cho các ngành liên quan tới chỉnh sửa ảnh. Từ phiên bản Photoshop 7.0 ra đời năm 2002, Photoshop đã làm lên một cuộc cách mạng về ảnh bitmap. Phiên bản mới nhất hiện nay là Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Version 11.0): với 2 bản Standard và Extended nằm trong bộ Creative Suite...

My friend Paul Newman (yes, that’s really his name, and no, not that Paul Newman) called me a year ago to ask if I’d like to help write a book about Apollo, which was the codename for Adobe AIR at that time. I was already overworked, but I hesitantly agreed. Although I’d known of Apollo in a general way prior to that, it was only at that point that I started to seriously take a look at the technology. Paul later had to bow out of the project due to other demands on his time, but I continued to look at Apollo and prepare to write...

If I had a dime for every time I wrote “Organize Photos” on my to-do list, only to leave it undone, I’d have enough cash to retire to some tropical hideaway and do nothing but photograph coconuts all day. Unfortunately, no dimes came my way, and I find myself here. The good news, however, is that Adobe has given me, and you, Photoshop Album. Within this inexpensive piece of software lies all of the tools you need in order to import, organize, and manage your collection of photos. And it doesn’t stop there. Album is also capable of handling video and audio clips and, as an added...

A couple of years ago, my then eleven-year-old son ran his first marathon. I watched from the curb as he crossed mile twenty-four. Together we jogged the last few miles of the race, and when he finally saw the finish line, he sprinted toward it, leaving me behind. He made it look so easy. “Next year, Mom,” he shouted over his shoulder, “we cross this line together.” I am now training to run my second marathon and my son will be running his third. You just never know where inspiration will come from. Back in my office at PhotoSpin, a royalty-free subscription service for photos and illustrations,...

Just as the camera is no longer relegated to the elite or industry professionals, Photoshop is no longer considered the tool of graphic designers alone. Whether it is used to scan photographs, paint a landscape, apply effects to text, create Web pages, or alter images, the application enables all users to accomplish one common feat: to produce professional-quality images in virtually any digital format. You may be surprised at how many people outside of the design industry are aware of and have even used Adobe Photoshop. The software application that is the industry standard for manipulating digital imagery is also the most commonly referred to when...

Today it seems like everyone has a digital camera and that digital photography has been around forever. There are hundreds of models of digital cameras available, and finding film is getting to be more and more difficult. But, this really isn’t the way it always was. In 1992, I was working at the Newport Beach Police Department. The department bought a Kodak DCS 200 digital camera that provided a whopping 1.5 million pixels and cost around $10,000. It didn’t use a memory card, but it had an internal computer hard drive and a SCSI connection to download photos to the computer. All of the components in the camera...

Introduction to Flat Panel Displays describes the fundamental physics and materials of major flat panel display technologies including LED, OLED, LCD, PDP and FED and carbon nano-tubes. A textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students, the book covers the basic sciences behind each display technology and gives solved problems and homework problems in each chapter to help consolidate their reading. Comparisons of the strengths and weaknesses of each of the display technologies will help display engineers to make decisions on which to use for their applications....

In the ten-plus years that I’ve been writing about Web design, I’ve seen many changes — from the early days (before Dreamweaver even existed) when you could create only simple pages with HTML 1.0, to the elaborate designs you can create with Dreamweaver today using XHTML, CSS, AJAX, multimedia, and more. If you’re not sure what those acronyms mean yet, don’t worry. I remember what it was like to figure out all this stuff, too, so I designed this book to introduce you to the basic concepts. I also want to prepare you for the ever-changing world of Web design, so I show you how to use Dreamweaver to...

When my wife and I moved into our house, one of our first major projects was to update the bathroom. The horribly gaudy floral wallpaper pattern, in combination with the gold sink fixtures, obnoxious mirrors, and tacky lighting, made us feel like we’d stepped into a previous decade every time we entered the master bathroom. Removing wallpaper is a tough job, but it’s even more difficult when there are multiple layers of the stuff. This was the case with our bathroom. Apparently the previous homeowners’ taste in wallpaper changed every few years, and rather than stripping off the wallpaper and starting over, they just covered ugly with...

This book is concerned with the computational processing of 3D faces, with applications in human computer interaction. It is a discriplinary research area overlapping with computer vision, computer graphics, machine learning and HCI. Within the last 10 years, fast increase in performance of memory, display and processor speed has allowed the expansion of Computer Graphics. It has now overcome Image Processing in its achievement. In the 3D face field, the CG-generated faces are almost indiscernible from real faces. Still it requires manual drawing for each image and artistic skills. It may take hours to reproduce a particular face and much more to render expressions....
