Photoshop Elements 4: The Missing Manual by Barbara Brundage
Publisher: Pogue Press (October 31, 2005) | ISBN-10: 0596101589 | CHM | 6 Mb | 510 pages
The popularity of digital cameras continues to grow exponentially. They are now more powerful, feature rich, and affordable - turning digital photography into a mainstream interest. And with Photoshop Elements, Adobe has created the most popular photo-editing program on the planet. Learning how to work Photoshop Elements and manage digital photos can be a challenge for anyone just getting started - from the hobbyist to the pro photographer. With the latest Photoshop Elements 4 update, Adobe delivers a powerful new program that provides photo editing and organizing functionality with improved performance. The updated version also includes new, more intuitive features that are streamlined and easier to use - when the photographer has the right learning tool in hand.
With Photoshop Elements 4: The Missing Manual, author Barbara Brundage has written the perfect digital photography guide. In a clear, easy-to-read format, the author provides step-by-step instruction so readers can learn what they need to do to edit their photos successfully and manage their collection. This new edition also includes more than a dozen downloadable images so readers can practice using the editing tools.

Readers will master useful editing techniques - from the most common to the advanced:
— Automatically correct red eye and skin tones
— Select and extract complex objects with the Magic Selection Brush and The Magic Extractor
— Create photomontages
— Restore old photographs
— Post photos on the web
— Manage and archive an entire collection
— Design a custom slide show with panning and zooming capabilities
Once photographers learn how to edit their photos successfully, they'll also learn how to post them online or upload them to the Kodak EasyShare Gallery for use in creating personal mailing lists, post cards, calendars, and much more. Photoshop Elements 4: The Missing Manual, is for any photographer interested in learning the right editing techniques for producing and sharing beautiful digital photography.
Photoshop Elements 4: The Missing Manual covers the Windows version of the software only. When we published the book, there was no Mac version of the software (as there is now), and for various reasons, we've been unable to update this edition to include the Mac version. Nonetheless, if you're on a Mac, you can use this book. Just substitute Command for Ctrl, and Option for Alt whenever you see keystroke shortcuts, and about 98 percent of the Editor functions will work the same. The sections on the Organizer only apply to Windows because the Mac version has no Organizer.

A UWB system is defined as any radio system that has a 10-dB bandwidth larger than 20 % of its center frequency, or has a 10-dB bandwidth  equal  to  or  larger  than  500 MHz.  The  recent  approval  of  UWB  technology  by Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States reserves the unlicensed frequency band between 3.1 and 10.6 GHz (7.5 GHz) for indoor UWB wireless communication systems. It is expected that many conventional principles and approaches used for short-range wireless communications will be reevaluated and a new industrial sector in short-range (e.g., 10 m) wireless communications with high data rate (e.g., 400 Mbps) will be formed. Further, industrial standards IEEE 802.15.3a (high data rate) and IEEE 802.15.4a (very low data rate) based on UWB technology have been introduced.

UWB technology has many benefits owing to its ultra-wideband nature, which include high data rate, less path loss and better immunity to multipath propagation, availability of low-cost transceivers, low transmit power and low interference, and so on. On the other hand, there exist many technical challenges in UWB deployment, such as the received-waveform distortion from each distinct delayed propagation path, antenna design for and synchronization  of  very  short  pulses,  performance  degradation  due  to  multiple  access interference and narrowband jamming, employment of higher order modulation schemes to improve capacity or throughput, and development of link and network layers to take advantage of the UWB transmission  benefits at the physical layer.

Even though R&D results so far have demonstrated that UWB radio is a promising solution for high-rate short-range  wireless  communications,  further  extensive  investigation,  experiments,  and development are necessary for developing effective and efficient UWB communication systems and UWB technology. This book is timely in reporting the results from cutting edge research and state-of-the-art technology in UWB wireless communications.

Prototype and script.aculo.us: You Never Knew JavaScript Could Do This! |By Christophe Porteneuve
Pragmatic Bookshelf | Pages: 330 | Date: 2007-12-15 | ISBN: 1934356018 | PDF | 3.31 MB

Tired of getting swamped in the nitty-gritty of cross-browser, Web 2.0-grade JavaScript? Get back in the game with Prototype and script.aculo.us, two extremely popular JavaScript libraries, that make it a walk in the park. Be it AJAX, drag and drop, auto-completion, advanced visual effects, or many other great features, all you need is write one or two lines of script that look so good they could almost pass for Ruby code!

Web applications are getting richer and richer, with more interaction baked in every day. But JavaScript, DOM, CSS and a full host of other Web standards are quite complex, and the result isn't always browser compliant.

The Prototype and script.aculo.us libraries are veritable treasure troves, smoothing over all the usual nitty-gritty differences between browsers, and making most common features a breeze to implement. With this book, you can quickly wield the whole power of these extraordinary libraries.

Dive into Prototype, the library that makes JavaScript so much more powerful, and it looks a lot like Ruby code. Exploring the DOM, handling events, taming AJAX, and radically simplifying most of your scripting code: it all becomes easy-and very portable-with Prototype.

When it comes to advanced UI features, script.aculo.us is every web developer's dream come true: whether you need to create auto-completed text inputs, implement in-place editors, provide customized drag-and-drop behaviors, capture your users' attention with visual effects or simply build DOM fragments more efficiently, it's all there, and lightweight too.

This book guides you through all the details of these features, letting you use many technologies on the server side, such as PHP, vanilla Ruby, and Ruby On Rails, in countless examples illustrating every aspect. Power users will also learn the design philosophies of the libraries, and how to contribute to them and augment them for their own needs.
