Nik Viveza 2 and a Red Channel Luminance Adjustment Layer was added. On a stamped layer, Lucis Pro was applied and the clouds were painted out in a layer mask to keep them from being too crisp. I can’t remember the last time I had color noise so this was unusual. Biggest problem was some noise – both Luminance and Color so Adobe Camera Raw was used to clean it up. ![]() It was actually quite an overcast day when this image shot. The sky was so dramatic that there were many different ways to process the clouds, but I settled on a less dramatic and more sunny feel to the image. This image was taken at Stirling Castle in Scotland. I really like the overall effect….Digital Lady Syd To add a little color tone to the image, a Color Fill Adjustment Layer was added using a beige-pink color – set to Color blend mode at 54% layer opacity. Nik Viveza 2 was added to sharpen up the left mirror reflection. An outside border was created using Shadowhouse Creations Heavenly Vintage Texture Set-Lavender Texture which was desaturated (CTRL+SHIFT+U). The image was sharpened using Lucis Pro (no longer available) and then adding a black layer mask and painting back just some of the detail. ![]() The actual image was done in bright golds and yellows. I wanted to have a vintage feel to the image. It actually was a little too bleached out but this is point that I started in Photoshop. Digital Lady Sydĭecided to experiment and turn this Master Bedroom in the Flagler Museum or Whitehall in Palm Beach, Florida, into a monotone color – it just looked pretty after D avid DuChemin’s Lightroom Develop Preset was applied called B+W Duo-Cool to Warm. Yes, the Lily is definitely ready for Spring Holiday Extravaganzas. ![]() Last step was to use a Levels Adjustment Layer vignette to further enhance the beautiful blossoms. Topaz ReStyle’s Warm Steel Wash preset applied to further enhance the color to the Lily. Some Sharpening was done using the new updated Topaz (see sidebar for website link) Sharpen AI filter and Lucis Pro. These beautiful blossoms were accented with some purple glitter thanks to Kyle’s Concept Brush Small Branch Mix in PS that was converted to a Mixer, thanks to the expertise of Nicolai at Grut Brushes – did you know you can convert any brush into a Mixer by simply clicking on the Mixer brush and ALT+CTRL clicking on a regular brush in the Brushes Panel? That’s what was done here on a New Layer and set to Linar Burn blend mode. Today we are adding an inverted image (CTRL+I in thumbnail – then set to Color blend mode) showing greens and blues instead of the traditional reds and whites to our collection. Have been practicing my Macro Photography recently and decided to give some of my very favorite blossoms a different look. That was it – wish I was there but I am enjoying the memories by working on this older image……Digital Lady Syd ![]() Last step involved adding New Layers for Darkening and Highlighting part of the image – used Sam Peterson’s technique to do this (see my blog A Few Photoshop and Lightroom Tips and Tricks – No. On another stamped layer, my favorite stand-by filter that is no longer available, Lucis Pro 6.0.9 was applied – love the effect! A Color Lookup Adjustment Layer was added and a free Sparkle Stock LUT set called Beautiful Day using Carnival 02 LUT. Worked like a charm! On a stamped layer, Topaz AI Sharpen Filter was set to Out of Focus with Auto settings to sharpen up the whole image. Therefore a duplicate image was created and a Gaussian Blue was set to Radius of 6.0 – then set layer to Color Blend Mode, added a black layer mask (press ALT+Layer Mask icon to create), and painted out the aberration colors. Still had a little Chromatic Aberration in this image even after using Lightroom to remove most of it. Had to do a bit of cloning on the sidewalk area – turned out better than using Content-Aware Fill.

The half-reactions areĢMnO 2(s) + H 2O(l) + 2e -> Mn 2O 3(s) + 2OH -(aq) Potassium hydroxide is a base or alkaline material, hence "alkaline" batteries. BatteriesĪlkaline cells overcome some of the problems with carbon-zinc batteries by using potassium hydroxide in place of ammonium chloride in the electrolyte. ![]() While these batteries have a long history of usefulness, they are declining in application since some of their problems are overcome in alkaline batteries. Oxidation of the zinc wall eventually causes the contents to leak out, so such batteries should not be left in electric equipment for long periods. It also has a short shelf life and deteriorates rapidly in cold weather. The voltage of this cell is initially about 1.5 volts, but decreases as energy is taken from the cell. ![]() Zinc chloride reacts with ammonia to form solid zinc ammonium chloride and manganese dioxide reacts with hydrogen to form solid dimanganese trioxide plus water (Hewitt). That is accomplished with two further reactions in the paste electrolyte. Which must be absorbed to prevent the buildup of gas pressure. Some of the complexity of this reaction comes from the fact that the reduction of the ammonium ion produces two gaseous products The chemical reactions in this cell may be approximated byĢNH 4 +(aq) + 2MnO 2(s) + 2e -> Mn 2O 3(s) + H 2O(l) + 2NH 3(aq) The other reactions involve the MnO 2 which is contained near the carbon center rod and the NH 4Cl and ZnCl 2 which make up the bulk of the paste between the cathode and anode. The oxidation at the zinc electrode (the anode) is straightforward and similar to that in other cells like the Daniell cell. The venerable carbon-zinc cell or Lechlanche' cell was invented in 1866 and was the most common small battery throughout most of the 20th century until largely supplanted by alkaline cells. HyperPhysics***** Electricity and Magnetism ![]() Voltages generated by such cells have historically been referred to as emf (electromotive force). An electrochemical cell which produces an external current is called a voltaic cell. The basic element is called an electrochemical cell and makes use of an oxidation/reduction reaction. Batteries use a chemical reaction to do work on charge and produce a voltage between their output terminals. ![]() The QB does a reverse pivot from under center and hands the ball to the WR. Keys here for an effective jet sweep are that the snap should occur when the motion player is between the tackle and the guard. But as DEs squeeze down or LBs attempt to read and react, the easier and more important it becomes for a WR to beat the defense to the corner. This is especially important for teams that specialize in inside runs, particularly plays like Power O which can be squeezed down to take away any run creases. So Michigan State uses the jet sweep as a way to get outside the defense. ![]() It is designed to get to the edge before the defense and is often utilized by teams with receivers that have more speed than their power backs. A jet sweep has no misdirection in and of itself (though it will often be paired with a run call and used in its own right as misdirection) and is simply a sweep with jet motion attached. End-Around has middle action attached & takes advantage of vertical over pursuit (by getting depth and around squeezing EMOL). Reverse initially attacks 1 side before reversing fields and takes advantage of horizontal over-pursuit. Reverses, End Arounds, and Jet Sweeps are 3 different plays designed to take advantage of different things from a defense. It's important to distinguish this from an end around and a reverse. The jet sweep has become increasingly popular over the past decade or so, really coming into form when Houston Nutt first introduced his wildcat formation at Arkansas. In this post we are going to look at MSU's jet sweep package.
