If there are no Artboards, then the entire Page will be exportable (like in our document). If an Artboard doesn’t contain any Slices, the entire Artboard will be exportable. Just like Sketch’s native Export feature, the “Choose Drawings” tab will display all exportable Slices from the document.

PaintCode 2 is available to Mac users for $99.99, but – amazingly – Sketch users won’t actually require the full PaintCode 2 app, only the PaintCode Plugin for Sketch. Rendering images with native code will cause the app to run much faster in comparison to the use of image sprites, and – thanks to PaintCode’s new Sketch Plugin – UI designers can keep their workflow within Sketch while still bridging the designer-developer gap. These PNGs are pre-generated, meaning you can’t customize them easily at runtime and you certainly can’t scale them up without losing quality. Commonly OS X and iOS developers receive image assets in PNG format, and the app selects the version of the image it needs for the resolution of the device. ![]() ![]() ![]() With these latest updates, Adobe is really improving AIR as an alternative development environment and maintaining its relevance on the Web. This includes things like taskbar and dock notifications. It includes more support for Android devices including software licensing and hardware, captive runtime support for developers to bundle AIR along with their programs (removing the requirement to separately install AIR), and native extensions for enhancing AIR's capabilities.ĪIR has allowed developers to make hybrid applications, or desktop tools that can integrate with various Web services, while still allowing some offline functionality that Web browsers don't yet have. The advancements offered by Stage3D should bring far more complex graphics development for the player, and allow some developers to use it as a viable alternative for their projects, especially for cross-platform efforts. Download the Windows updater (104 MB) Download the Macintosh updater (89. There are several usability improvements in the CSS Properties panel. Although it's only for desktops at the time of writing, Adobe promises that it will soon take Stage3D to its mobile apps. The latest update to Adobe Fireworks CS6 includes Mac 10.8 platform compatibility, performance and stability improvements. Stage3D brings combined hardware-accelerated 2D and 3D graphics rendering that's up to 1,000 times faster than previous versions of AIR. If you try to install an AIR app without having previously installed AIR, you'll be automatically prompted to download it. One very well-known AIR app is TweetDeck. It's powerful and respected for giving people the same end-user experience, whether on Windows, Mac, or Linux. In case you're new to AIR, which stands for Adobe Integrated Runtime, it's a platform that runs applications across multiple systems without coding in more than one language. AIR 3 brings some hefty speed improvements to the system, thanks to a little something new called Stage3D. As Adobe has focused on Flash Player development in the aftermath of the rise of HTML5, it hasn't ignored its other content-delivery system: Adobe AIR. ![]() ![]() If employees at two workplaces in the same industry have different health outcomes, an occupational epidemiologist may be able to review differences in their safety practices in order to investigate whether a specific difference in practices is responsible for the associated difference in health outcomes. This type of study can also be used to investigate the effectiveness of various safety practices. Retrospective studies are an important tool to study rare diseases, manifestations and outcomes. For example, retrospective studies into military veterans with cancer were able to provide information into how exposure to the toxic herbicide Agent Orange was causally linked to increased incidence of cancer amongst exposed U.S. In contrast, exposure information is collected at the beginning of prospective. The distinction is that in retrospective cohort studies all of the cases of disease have already occurred before the investigators initiate the study. Many important studies into occupational hazards have been retrospective studies. Retrospective cohort studies are also 'longitudinal,' because they examine health outcomes over a span of time. This makes them useful for conducting research into conditions that would be too resource-intensive to study using prospective methods. One benefit is that they allow researchers to select the desired number of people with the condition they are studying, which means that the overall number of people in the study can be significantly less than in a prospective study, and are quicker to complete. If all the records of T1 and T2 were analyzed at. Retrospective studies have both benefits and drawbacks. If there is follow-up of the subjects for a mean period of 4.58 years, then it should be a longitudinal study. In a retrospective study, you collect data on events that have already happened. This might be through interviews in which participants are. ![]() ![]() For example, a retrospective study of breast cancer patients would involve comparing a group of people with breast cancer to a similar group of people without breast cancer, while a prospective study would involve recruiting a single group of people without breast cancer and monitoring them for an extended period in order to try and discover insights into why some of them developed breast cancer during the study. You can choose to conduct a retrospective or a prospective study. In retrospective studies, individuals are sampled and information is collected about their past. ![]() Retrospective studies are so-named because they involve looking backwards at the histories of the people being studied, rather than monitoring a group of people over an extended period (a prospective study).

"For example, you can feel the tapping when Alan puts the bullets into the chamber of the revolver and the tension of the right trigger is different depending on the weapon. "We have some carefully selected DualSense support," Puha said. That said, they did get a chance to add some PS5 accoutrements to enhance how the game played on that platform, including Activity Cards and specific DualSense controller features. Remedy community director Thomas Puha told GameSpot in an email that developing Alan Wake Remastered for both current-generation and last-gen platforms was "a pretty intimidating task by itself," so the developers weren't able to lean too hard into PlayStation-specific features. In the original Alan Wake, the differences in character models when moving between gameplay and cutscenes is a bit jarring, so Remedy and d3t worked to improve to make characters more realistic and expressive in the remaster.Īlan Wake Remastered also marks the first time the game has been available for PlayStation. Other improvements are mostly to textures and in-game character models, specifically the ones that appear in cutscenes. Enhancements to its lighting work to deepen its oppressive spookiness, especially since the interaction of light and shadow is so prevalent throughout the game. ![]() The result of those efforts is impressive-Alan Wake Remastered is a pretty great-looking update, as we noted in our review. This then meant that the original features had to be rebalanced to sit alongside the newly introduced lighting." These were retained within the remaster to keep the original aesthetic however, we introduced a new global volumetric lighting solution to further enhance these elements. ![]() "The classic version of the game had localized volumetric lighting, but also created the 'suspense-filled' atmosphere that we all loved, using a mixture of fogs and fog particles within the environment. "The atmosphere of Alan Wake is a large part of its visual identity and was of great importance for us at d3t to preserve the original feeling that it created," d3t art director Anthony O'Donnell told GameSpot in an email. From a technical standpoint, the remaster provided a chance to update the game's lighting technology, but that also meant that care had to be taken not to lose what made Alan Wake feel so creepy. That atmosphere is something Remedy and its partner on the remaster, d3t, said was essential to maintain. Scenes throughout Alan Wake are marked by swirling darkness, blowing fog, and thin, meager light straining at shadows. Much of what makes it such a strong experience more than a decade later, apart from its story, is its oppressive psychological thriller atmosphere. Playing on PC, it's remarkable how well the original Alan Wake even holds up in gameplay and visuals. And many elements invented there are still part of the Remedy game formula, being refined further in Control, for example." I am, and we are, very proud of Alan Wake. "Coming back to an older work, mercifully, all of that has faded away and you can look at the work with fresh eyes, appreciate it as a whole, and not miss those details. Coming out of the project, after being so focused on making it, trying to get everything in, you often see a lot of the problems or miss the things that didn't make it in," Lake said in an email to GameSpot.

How to Create a Patina Finish (Faux Patina) on Wood On the other hand, you can create a faux patina or manmade patina within a short time. Patina forms naturally when you expose wooden furniture to elements through time. ![]() Elbow grease and good quality beeswax that hardens, help in preserving patina on wood. Apply some wax directly on the surface and use a cloth to buff it to a shine. The beeswax finish highlights it and keeps it protected with a wax film on top of the wood. To protect the patina from scratches, apply a beeswax finish on top, bringing out the patina’s depth. Don’t use a random orbital sander – use your hands to scuff the surface to remove scratches lightly. Higher the grit in the abrasive, the lower the chances of you damaging the patina. If you have to use abrasives, use ones that have super-fine grit. If you lack experience in restoring antique furniture, avoid using abrasives to clean your furniture. So, clean with a microfiber cloth every few days to remove the grime from the surface of the wood without damaging the patina or the wax finish. Using old furniture daily builds up grime. Dust scratches a wax finish easily, so cleaning it helps to preserve the finish and in turn preserve the patina. Use a microfiber cloth and clean the piece to avoid dust building up on it. It is important to clean the wood regularly to maintain the finish. The patina on antique furniture is usually protected by applying a finish on top of the wood.

Sometimes it takes decades for the patina to form on your furniture. Worn down by nature, the layer forms slowly giving the wood a deep and beautiful look. Preserving Patina on WoodĪs mentioned earlier, a patina is a layer that forms on the wood when exposed to the natural elements. This silver finish makes teak wood furniture very popular as luxury furniture. Your furniture becomes a soft gray with a little bit of silver. You see the natural grain and the patterns of the wood. With time, this color deepens and fades into a greyish patina. Teak wood furniture has a rich brown color. ![]() It is amazing to see how a patina develops differently in every location. It also depends on the way you use your furniture and whether you polish it or not. The effects of the sun, wind, rain, and the local environment will create a unique patina.
