I occasionally will create some videos and share them with my friends as DVD videos, to do it I need a DVD authoring tool. Sony DVD Architect Studio, Roxio MyDVD VideoLab and Corel DVD MovieFactory are some of the best commercial DVD authoring software.

Blender 2.62 has been released on February 2012, one of the great thing about the release is the Cycles Render Engine was added with a number of new features.

Clip arts are images such as illustrations, borders, backgrounds that created by hand or by computer software. The term originated through the practice of physically cutting images from pre-existing printed works for use in other publishing projects.
Finding a clip art from the web is easy, but not all of them are reusable, they are copyrighted. This page has a list of websites that offer public domain clip arts free for any personal or commercial use.

What is Red Eye Effect? Red eye effect in photography is the common appearance of red pupils of eyes that occurs when using a photographic flash. The color actually is the color of blood vessels nourishing the eye. Any bright light source may also cause this effect but only when it is positioned nearly coincidentally with the observer. This however is very difficult.
Trimage Image Compressor and Yahoo! Smush.it are free tools for optimizing images losslessly. Both work similar but may not give you the same result. I have done some testings and here I will review and show you what I’ve found from the tests.
Aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between the width of an image and its height. All images before print should be cropped to the output aspect ratio. If you simply capture a photo and print without properly crop it, you may get unexpected stretched or cropped result done by the system automatically.
It is usually happens, photographs transferred into you computer do not give you the desired colors. It can be caused by wrong setting on your camera or some color information losses due to color conversions between devices (scanner to computer, digital camera to computer, etc). You need to photo retouch it to make it looks better. This can easily performed by using the software bundled with the device (scanner, digital camera, etc). There are also […]
