![]() ![]() Then again, HDR has kind of a broad definition to begin with. So, it's not exactly certifiable HDR grade quality. However, on both the iPhone 8 Plus and its little siblings specs pages, Apple clearly states: "Supports Dolby Vision and HDR10 content" under video playback.Īpple makes that claim since even without full HDR capabilities, the panels in the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus do manage to render some of the extended visual features of HDR content. In contrast, the iPhone X does have official certification. That is to say, they do not cover some of the various color and contrast requirements to be certified for HDR10, Dolby Vision and the like. From a purely technical standpoint neither the iPhone 8 or the iPhone 8 Plus have HDR displays. All measured colors except white are well below deltaE of 4, which means the screen has a close to perfect calibration.ĭisabling the True Tone adjustment brought the average deltaE up to 2.0, while the white deviation remained the same.Īs you can see - True Tone or not - the iPhone 8 Plus display is pretty well calibrated and has a flagship-grade color representation.Īs far as HDR content playback goes, things are a bit complicated. The screen has an average deltaE of 1.3, while the maximum deviation is at the white hue - 4.3. We did our measurements on the iPhone 8 Plus screen with True Tone turned on, and we got very accurate hues when it comes to color representation. But if you don't have a device for comparison, you won't know what's different. It's not a big difference, but arguably it's better for both perception and ease on the eyes. The color correction coming from the True Tone adjustment is noticeable when you compare a True Tone-enabled iPhone with a non-True Tone one. That's completely different from the blue-light filter called Night Shift, which reduces the blue colors in the evening hours to help you get a better night's sleep. ![]() Once turned on, the True Tone algorithm will correct the screen's white balance according to the ambient light and thus make the picture look its best regardless of the ambient light. True Tone is a new addition - it's a white balance adjustment possible via the newly added four-channel ambient light sensor. It's a LED-backlit IPS LCD screen with RGB matrix, it supports 3D Touch, and has wide color gamut support like last year's. The display on the iPhone 8 Plus is a 5.5" unit with a 1080p resolution (that's 401ppi). ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Today the Holy Grail of the Last Supper is part of medieval Christian mythology, although it lacks specific references in biblical texts, there are very interesting legends. An elixir of life, and therefore even grants immortality to those who drink from it. One of the most coveted is to rejuvenate, as an elixir of eternal youth, to multiply food and make it more exquisite, to restore hope to the desolate and downcast, to heal those who are close to death and even that of giving life to the dead. Legends about the Holy Grail confer various powers on this extraordinary object. THE EXTRAORDINARY POWERS OF THE HOLY GRAIL However, Jesus had already transmuted six stone jars of about one hundred liters of water each into wine, and of “good quality” too, at the wedding in Cana, but no one remembers or looks for those large stone jars…they are not enough mainstream I suppose?). That is why Christianity took advantage of this consonance, adopting the cup as a venerable and sacred object, who knows if also with supernatural powers acquired by contact, because Jesus transmuted the wine into his blood for the first time at the Last Supper. Its analogy in this sense with the Christian ritual of the Eucharist is clear, and although there is a whole legend. Therefore the cup would have the power to transmute its content into another. Hence it has been and is such a coveted object. And it is that the cup is attributed the same powers as the legendary stone, that of converting the base metals into others of greater value, such as lead, into gold or silver. Some authors identified it with the philosopher’s stone of the alchemists. ![]() ![]() However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our site as well as other websites.

It took 30 minutes to process 1.000 items, which makes it 30 hours in total to process all of the items in the collection. Initial codeįor our case, we had 60.000 items that had to be migrated from one system to another system. In this article, we'll take a look at the different ways to process a collection faster. In data parallel operations, the source collection is partitioned so that multiple threads can operate on different segments concurrently. It's also safe to say that the chance of bugs within this code is far less in comparison with a custom implementation.ĭata parallelism refers to scenarios in which the same operation is performed concurrently (that is, in parallel) on elements in a source collection or array. Luckily, C# hides all of the implementation details for us with the Task Parallel Library (TPL) introduced in. It even gets more complex when you spawn multiple threads to achieve the best performance. If you take a look at the thread docs you can see that it takes some "orchestration code" to manage these threads.īecause we write the code on your own, there's also a probability that this code contains bugs.

![]() It's best to wear rubber gloves when working with these products anyway, but you should also take your ring off, just to be safe. A variety of chemicals, including chemicals found in some household cleaning products, can break down the finish on your ring. You should also take off your ring before you do any high-impact activity, like going rock climbing or taking apart your car engine, but this has more to do with personal safety than the actual durability of the ring. Obviously you don’t want to try hitting it with a hammer, but wooden rings are highly resilient to the normal wear-and-tear of daily life. Bentwood rings are strong and one of the best things about them is that they flex before they break. However, like virtually all jewelry, it is generally not recommended to expose your ring to saltwater more than is necessary. Wooden rings finished with CA glue are water resistant, so you don't have to worry about taking your ring off every time you wash your hands. Other than that, the most important thing you can do to keep your ring in good shape is to avoid exposing it to potential damage in the first place. We recommend gently cleaning it every now and then with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to keep the ring looking shiny. Wooden rings don't require much active care. We use a medical grade CA which gives the rings a strong finish with a beautiful sheen. Rings can be finished using anything from beeswax to epoxy, but we use cyanoacrylate glue, commonly called CA glue. We source woods that have been known to stand the test of time, such as old-growth heartwoods and hardwoods. The types of wood used to make the ring also help determine strength and durability. The result is a wood wedding ring that is incredibly strong. ![]() Making bentwood rings involves wrapping multiple thin layers of wood around each other, with the wood grain running in the same direction. This is the process we use at Rustic and Main. The toughest and most durable wooden wedding rings are made using bentwood. Here's how you can make sure your wood wedding ring stands the test of time.

Hill delayed publication of the details of his process for several years, however, and his claims soon came to be considered fraudulent. Sales of conventional uncoloured and hand-coloured daguerreotypes fell in anticipation of this new technology. Hill announced his invention of a process of daguerreotyping in natural colours in his Treatise on Daguerreotype. The results of the work of Davis and Thompson were only partially successful in creating colour photographs and the electroplating method was soon abandoned. patented a method for colouring daguerreotypes through electroplating, and his work was refined by Warren Thompson the following year. Parallel efforts to produce coloured photographic images affected the popularity of hand-colouring. Later, hand-colouring was used with successive photographic innovations, from albumen and gelatin silver prints to lantern slides and transparency photography. ![]() ![]() Variations of this technique were patented in England by Richard Beard in 1842 and in France by Étienne Lecchi in 1842 and Léotard de Leuze in 1845. Coloured powder was fixed on the delicate surface of the daguerreotype by the application of heat. The first hand-coloured daguerreotypes are attributed to Swiss painter and printmaker Johann Baptist Isenring, who used a mixture of gum arabic and pigments to colour daguerreotypes soon after their invention in 1839. In an attempt to create more realistic images, photographers and artists would hand-colour monochrome photographs. The majority of photography remained monochrome until the mid-20th century, although experiments were producing colour photography as early as 1855 and some photographic processes produced images with an inherent overall colour like the blue of cyanotypes. Monochrome (black and white) photography was first exemplified by the daguerreotype in 1839 and later improved by other methods including: calotype, ambrotype, tintype, albumen print, and gelatin silver print. ![]() Hand-coloured photographs were most popular in the mid- to late-19th century before the invention of colour photography and some firms specialized in producing hand-coloured photographs. Typically, watercolours, oils, crayons or pastels, and other paints or dyes are applied to the image surface using brushes, fingers, cotton swabs or airbrushes. Hand-colouring is also known as hand painting or overpainting. Hand-colouring (or hand-coloring) refers to any method of manually adding colour to a monochrome photograph, generally either to heighten the realism of the image or for artistic purposes. ![]() ![]() ![]() Resist the temptation to be passive-aggressive in your opening.Start the message with a reminder of your last touchpoint.Resist the urge to re-send your first email.Ask yourself if you included a close in your first attempt.So don’t ever skip following up - it can cost you a closed-won deal.
