Lynda.com - GUI File Collection

Lynda.com - GUI File Collection
79 Titles 586 MB

What's a GUI file?
With a subscription to the Lynda.com website, one downloads their tutorials' movie files directly (and, if a premium subscription, the accompanying exercise files as well). Only the purchasers of their DVDs are able to make use of a menu system or graphical user interface (GUI) to view the movies. The GUI makes the presentation of the movies more efficient, especially as movies within a chapter can be played sequentially with a single click. Unfortunately, Lynda tutorials shared through bittorrent often lack the corresponding GUI files so replicas have to be created to restore their functionality.

So how do I use these?

* First, you need to download the actual tutorial movies. These are often distributed as ISO images (an archive file representing the entire contents of an optical disc). Many can be found on Demonoid.

* Second, download and unrar (ie. decompress with WinRAR) the corresponding GUI file. This will create a folder with the necessary subfolder structure on your hard drive.

* Next, you need to extract the movie files from the ISO and copy them to the appropriate locations in the GUI folder structure. Often this will be accomplished by mounting the ISO as a virtual drive, however, WinRAR is also able to open ISO files and extract their contents. Once you have located the movie files they should be copied into their corresponding "..\data\movies\chapxx" folders in the GUI. For example, Movies that begin with 00_ should be copied to the ...\chap00 folder, movies that begin with 12_ should be copied to the ...\chap12 folder, etc.

* Finally, the exercise files can be extracted to the ...\exercise files folder.

Please remember that the total path cannot exceed 255 characters or you will get an error message when you start up the windowmode.exe file!!!

the error will be:
"Unable to load movie playlist. Does the .INI file exists

But if you are using a Mac...
Included in this collection is a Mac Gui Apps.sit file. Unstuffing the contents to the root folder of any GUI should enable Mac functionality. Sorry I don't have a Mac and can't advise you further.

Some menus are fugly!
Well, they did evolve over time, but if you want to replace my meager efforts your own creations, you will also find a folder with blank background art to assist you.

Description

A beginner's guide to digital photography for the home computer discusses the art of photo manipulation, developing and printing digital images, digital photographic techniques and equipment, and more. Original. (Beginner).The book really does start at the beginning, with a short history of the camera and photography, plus the basics of composition. But it progresses quickly into an overview of today's digital tools.Instead of bogging down the reader in myriad details about camera models, computer software and hardware, and other minutiae, the book gives an overview of the available technologies, describing which system or format is best for different kinds of tasks. This is a good thing--hardware and software evolve rapidly, and some of the details mentioned in the book as "up and coming" are now standard.

Description
Scott Kelby, the man who changed the "digital darkroom" forever with his groundbreaking, #1 bestselling, award-winning book The Photoshop Book for Digital Photographers, now tackles the most important side of digital photography--how to take pro-quality shots using the same tricks today's top digital pros use (and it's easier than you'd think).

This entire book is written with a brilliant premise, and here’s how Scott describes it: "If you and I were out on a shoot, and you asked me, 'Hey, how do I get this flower to be in focus, but I want the background out of focus?' I wouldn't stand there and give you a lecture about aperture, exposure, and depth of field. In real life, I'd just say, 'Get out your telephoto lens, set your f/stop to f/2.8, focus on the flower, and fire away.' You d say, 'OK,' and you'd get the shot. That's what this book is all about. A book of you and I shooting, and I answer the questions, give you advice, and share the secrets I've learned just like I would with a friend, without all the technical explanations and without all the techno-photo-speak.

"This isn't a book of theory—it isn't full of confusing jargon and detailed concepts: this is a book of which button to push, which setting to use, when to use them, and nearly two hundred of the most closely guarded photographic "tricks of the trade" to get you shooting dramatically better-looking, sharper, more colorful, more professional-looking photos with your digital camera every time you press the shutter button.

Here's another thing that makes this book different: each page covers just one trick, just one single concept that makes your photography better. Every time you turn the page, you'll learn another pro setting, another pro tool, another pro trick to transform your work from snapshots into gallery prints. There's never been a book like it, and if you're tired of taking shots that look "OK," and if you’re tired of looking in photography magazines and thinking, "Why don't my shots look like that?" then this is the book for you.

TMMOB “MEYDANLAR” Fotoğraf Yarısması

TMMOB
MiMARLAR ODASI
iSTANBUL BÜYÜKKENT ŞUBESi

Fotoğraf Yarışması
2010 Yılı Ajandası
“MEYDANLAR”

Bu yıl geleneksel fotoğraf yarısmamızın onuncusu gerçeklestirilmektedir. Her yıl ekim ayının ilk pazartesi günü kutlanan “Dünya Mimarlık Günü” dolayısıyla gerçeklestirdiğimiz “Mimarlık ve Kent Senliği” etkinliklerinde sonuçlarını sergileyecek olduğumuz yarısmamızın teması, 2009 yılı için “meydanlar” olarak belirlenmistir.

ilk yerlesimlerle birlikte insanların bir araya geldiği, bulustuğu, sorunlarını tartıstığı bir mekân olan meydanlar, sosyal yasantının bir gelisimi olarak ortaya çıkmıs ve mimarlıkta daima önemli bir kent öğesi olarak ele alınmıstır.

Meydanlar, tarihi süreç içinde çesitli sekillerde olusmus ve islevlendirilmistir. Sosyal, ekonomik ve kültürel olarak tüm kente hizmet veren mekânlar olarak değerlendirildiği gibi, yeni kentlerin baslangıç noktası olarak da ele alınmıstır. Bu bağlamda, kentlerin sosyal, ekonomik ve kültürel belleklerinin de odak noktası olan meydanlar, özgün karakteristik bir kimliğe sahiptir. Bu yanlarıyla mimari ve kültürel mirasın da önemli bir parçasıdır.

Bütün bu nedenlerden ötürü, ilkesiz bir anlayısıyla yaklasılmaması gereken meydanlar, ne yazık ki ülkemizde her alanda süregiden tahribattan payını almaktadır. Hızla yok olan bu önemli kentsel mekânlarımızın mimari, sosyal ve kültürel yanlarıyla belgelenmesi ve görsel arsiv olusturulması, yarısmamızın ana amacıdır.
