Pixel editing with Processing
by Reto Vogel on Oct.31, 2009, under HSLU, Multimediatechnik, Processing, Programming
According to Wikipedia, “Image editing” encompasses the processes of altering images, whether they be digital photographs, traditional analog photographs, or illustrations. Images are stored in a computer in the form of a grid of picture elements, or pixels. These pixels contain the image’s color and brightness information.
In our case, we altered digital photos and learned mor about how to manipulate pixels and techniques to overlay several images. (continue reading…)

by Reto Vogel on Oct.30, 2009, under HSLU, Multimediatechnik
Based on a tutorial from psd-tutorials.de I experimented a bit with photoshop and created a 10-years-later picture. I added some grey hairs and crinkles and retouched unaesthetic details. (continue reading…)
Apple kicks ZFS out
by Reto Vogel on Oct.27, 2009, under Apple, Computer
As you can see on the ZFS open source page the ZFS-on-mac-project has been terminated:
The ZFS project has been discontinued. The mailing list and repository will also be removed shortly.
Originally ZFS has been designed and developed by Sun Microsystems. ZFS is was a file system and logical volume manager with great abilities. It supported high storage capacities, integration of the concepts of filesystem and volume management, snapshots and copy-on-write clones, continuous integrity checking and automatic repair, RAID-Z and native NFSv4 ACLs. As usual of Sun, ZFS is implemented as Open Source. (continue reading…)
Multimedia animation story board
by Reto Vogel on Oct.27, 2009, under Animation, HSLU, Multimediatechnik
After brainstorming and collecting ideas I drew some snaps onto paper. The storyboard shows the idea and a little bit the way how I’ll realize it. I intend to use several of my own photographies of my last holidays in Kenya. I’d like to animate them and present them in a appropriate way. (continue reading…)

MMT animation project idea
by Reto Vogel on Oct.14, 2009, under Animation, HSLU, Multimediatechnik
During the ‘Multimediatechnik’ (MMT) module we have the task to plan and create a small animation. My idea is about doing an animation with several effects (morphing, zooming, etc.) applied on pictures (probably taken by myself) and a specific logo.
I don’t know yet, how (technicial realisation) to realize it. But further details will be posted on this blog. Check back soon!
