![]() ![]() Notice how the areas that are visible in the document window correspond with the white area on the layer mask thumbnail. The layer mask is represented by the black-and-white thumbnail to the right of the layer icon in the Layers panel. Here, we used a layer mask to hide, or mask out, the background so the acorn is the only part of the layer that's visible. If you're following along with the example file, select the Acorn layer. Fortunately, layer masks allow you to show and hide parts of any layer in a nondestructive way.Ĭreating a layer mask can be a bit complicated, so let's start by looking at one that's already finished. While you could use the Eraser tool to remove the parts you don't want, this type of destructive editing may be difficult to undo. ![]() For example, you might want to remove the background from a layer so the layers below it can show through. Sometimes you may want only certain parts of a layer to be visible. To learn more about clipping masks, review this tutorial from Adobe. Next, try reducing the opacity of the adjustment layers to 70%. Notice how the curves adjustments only affect the Acorn layer. Make sure a clipping mask is applied to the new layer, then modify the curves in the Properties panel. Select the Acorn layer, then add a Curves adjustment layer. For this reason, if you're already using clipping masks in your document, new adjustment layers may use a clipping mask automatically. It's also important to note that you can apply a clipping mask to multiple adjustment layers above the same layer. For example, if you release the clipping mask for the Gradient Map layer in the example file, it will affect the color of all of the layers below it instead of only affecting the Acorn layer. Releasing a clipping mask does not delete the layer, but it causes it to behave like a normal layer. You can also use this method to release a clipping mask. This indicates that a clipping mask has been applied, which limits the adjustment layer to just the Acorn layer below. ![]() If you're following along with the example file, locate the small arrow next to the Gradient Map layer. However, there may be times when you only want an adjustment layer to affect one layer. By default, adjustment layers will affect all layers below them. To learn more about blending modes, review this tutorial from Photo Blog Stop.Įarlier in this tutorial, we covered using adjustment layers to correct images. While blending modes give you a lot of flexibility, they can also be tricky to use. This means many blending modes may look unnatural, and it's unlikely that all of the modes will look good in your project. It's also important to note that blending modes will work differently depending on the content of your layers. In the example below, changing the blending mode to Screen will still allow the turquoise background to show through, but this time it appears on the record instead.Įach blending mode creates a different effect, and some are much more noticeable than others. To change the blending mode, click the Blending Mode drop-down menu, then select the desired mode. Even though the opacity of the Record layer is set to 100%, this blending mode allows the turquoise color from the layer below to show through. Notice that the blending mode is set to Multiply. If you're following along with the example file, select the Record layer. The blending mode menu is located at the top of the Layers panel, next to Opacity. In addition to adjusting opacity, you can use different blending modes to control how the layers in your document are mixed together. ![]()

On a features basis, at least in terms of flat-screen gaming, you're getting practically the exact same experience. Sorry, PlayStation and Switch fans.) Advertisement (The console version is currently Xbox exclusive. In particular, you'll see less grass and foliage on a base Xbox One, with the results looking more like the wimpy Oculus Quest version. Both Xbox One versions drop to 30 fps, lower resolutions, and reduced graphics sliders. Performance and image quality are quite sharp on Series X/S, with most of the game's PC effects toggles enabled and a frame rate that seems to stick to 60 fps. Should you have an Xbox console (as low as the base Xbox One or as new as Xbox Series X) and Game Pass, I'd argue that's the best way to dive back into the game in 2D, at least if you're already paying for Game Pass. If you're asking me to pick a favorite version of Myst, the grainy original is still my favorite, but I'd probably rather play this year's model. Plus, quite honestly, neither version of realMyst holds up particularly well in 2021, especially in terms of 3D translations of natural world elements. The crucial stuff looks identical or mighty familiar compared to the original game, and major island and underground arrangements are nearly identical in terms of physical walking distance. The results show the team's willingness to reimagine various architectural touches or natural rock, forest, and water formations. When reviewing each version of the game side-by-side, you can see Cyan applying a different philosophy to how its dated 1994 CGI should be brought forward into a new computing generation. For the most part, the results are quite handsome, whether thanks to more bespoke foliage and trees, improved texture quality and object variety, or (most impressively) more realistic and grounded lighting that emulates material-based bounces, even without ray tracing enabled. Meanwhile, the game's original geometry has been overhauled-now for the third time, after two versions of realMyst and this time inside Unreal Engine 4. AdvertisementĪ few changes to the original game remain since its first realMyst touch-up. Mercifully, players won't have to rewind their brain to the unfamiliar universe of mid-'90s CD-ROMs, but the heart of each puzzle remains intact. In general, I prefer the new touch-ups, in part because I imagined an entirely unfamiliar player trying Myst for the first time and having more obvious, mechanical items to click and manipulate. Once touched, the mechanical switch animates with a chunky sound effect. Instead of clicking in the center of a painting to activate a door, for example, you now have to aim at a mechanical switch next to the painting. ![]() I always appreciated that option to split the difference between the old and the new.Ī few of the game's switches and machines have been touched up to account for either VR compatibility or the shift to modern controls, too. ![]() ![]() I'm honestly peeved that the latter has been removed for non-VR players. There's no menu toggle to revert to the original game's slideshow style-nor the realMyst 2000 edition's "node-by-node" smooth walks between the original game's frozen moments. This is now a real-time, first-person game, modeled after the controls you'd find in a shooter on PC or consoles. For one, players can no longer expect the original game's Hypercard-based point-and-click system.

Napoleon was forced to abdicate and was exiled to Elba in May 1814. The battle was the culmination of the German Campaign of 1813 and involved 560,000 soldiers, 2,200 artillery pieces, the expenditure of 400,000 rounds of artillery ammunition, and 133,000 casualties, making it the largest battle of the Napoleonic Wars, and the largest battle in Europe prior to World War I.ĭecisively defeated again, Napoleon was compelled to return to France while the Sixth Coalition kept up its momentum, dissolving the Confederation of the Rhine and invading France early the next year.

But so much paper and plastic is wasted in making impossible to infiltrate packaging, and then it all ends up in land fills. People would be stealing things and switching boxes all over the place. And let's face it, why does doll packaging have to be like breaking into Fort Knox these days? I understand that because there are so many more dolls to choose from, and stores are so big that employees can't watch everybody, that they can't do the open shoebox type boxes Barbies, for example, used to come in when I was a kid. Then I was able to get at the various ties and things holding her in place. I had been "pointing out" to Ken that they were on sale for $5 at Meijers and he actually bought one. Our anniversary was Monday and one of my gifts was a Merida doll. So, that said, I'll move on to the point of this post. They didn't even have jointed elbows.Just saying.

Anyway, these Bratz dolls were probably slightly taller than a Barbie, and the box proudly proclaimed, "I'm taller".

One is my Bratzilla with the red hair and realistic eyes, and Ivy's glow in the dark bathing suit girl. They were always too sleazy looking for my tastes, and I didn't want my girls playing with them. (We don't do Bratz in this house generally. They're battery operated, so they could easily be used in a doll setting without a gigantic cord showing.The other thing was a Bratz doll that is slightly larger than normal. They had some things called 'crystal lamps', which look sort of like Lava lamps for 18" dolls, only instead of liquid with a glob floating in it, there are 'crystals' and when the lamp is turned on different coloured lights go on and off inside.

Roughly an hour’s drive from Graz, the captial of Styria, through the mountainous, forested landscape is the small city of Spielberg, which is surrounded by plush, green countryside.

When Tim and Renate Neal leased and reopened it in 2016, Marvin Troutman still owned the place. Reports say the Sky Vu closed (again) in 2014. Which means it must have been closed for a while before that. The United Drive-In Theatre Owners Association wrote that the Sky-Vu reopened in 1994. “Shortly afterward, he and his wife formed Martro Theatres, Inc.” And they began running X-rated movies at both drive-ins. Around 1969, Marvin Troutman, son of Marvin and Ada Troutman, bought the Sky-Vu and the nearby Halifax Drive-In. The Lykens Valley blog fills in part of this period.
