They disbanded in 2001 after the release of two albums and two EPs. In 1997, Phoenix joined the punk/ new wave band The Causey Way, which also included her younger sisters Summer and Liberty. She also features in the video for R.E.M.'s " At My Most Beautiful." The band wrote their song "Transcending" as a tribute to River. ![]() Chili Peppers bassist Flea, who appeared in My Own Private Idaho, was close friends with River, and was there the night he died.

The album was near completion so Phoenix began the long task of mixing and producing the scraps of recordings. Aleka's Attic, by that time consisting a different line-up, had been working on an album that River had been funding himself. Phoenix dealt simultaneously with the loss of her older brother and the media circus that followed. It would be the last evening Phoenix would spend with her brother he died later that night from, according to the coroner's report, "acute multiple drug intoxication," namely an overdose of heroin and cocaine, a concoction called a " speedball". On the evening of October 30, 1993, they set out, joined by River's girlfriend Samantha Mathis, for a night at the Los Angeles club The Viper Room, which is in part owned by Johnny Depp. River Phoenix's deathĪ few months after the film's completion, Phoenix flew to Los Angeles with her brother Joaquin to meet River during a break from Dark Blood. She was cast as head cowgirl Bonanza Jellybean, alongside Uma Thurman. She met director Gus Van Sant to whom River suggested she would be perfect for a role in his upcoming project, a film adaptation of Tom Robbins's cult novel, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. At this time, Phoenix joined her brother River on the set of his tenth movie, My Own Private Idaho. In 1991, they made a tour of east coast clubs and colleges. In 1988, Aleka's Attic were signed to a development deal with Island Records and in 1989 released the track "Across The Way" on a benefit album for the animal rights group PETA. The band secured gigs in and around their home town of Gainesville, Florida By this time, River's career had taken off and so the band was often put on hold for River's demanding schedule. River, along with bass player Josh McKay, wrote music and lyrics and Rain sang backup. Also in 1987, Phoenix landed a part in the feature film Maid to Order alongside Ally Sheedy.Īt 15, Phoenix returned to her roots in music and formed the band Aleka's Attic with her then 17-year-old brother River.

![]() Bandwidth remains unchanged from Thunderbolt 3, though executives said to expect new types of docks and longer cables. AMD, which has traditionally never associated Thunderbolt with its Ryzen platforms, pooh-poohed Thunderbolt demand but said it meets the spec’s security restrictions. Thunderbolt 4 will debut later this year as part of Intel’s “Tiger Lake” CPU platform, as Intel originally announced during CES in January. We now know it will support 40Gbps throughput, but with tighter minimum specs. Thunderbolt 4 will guarantee that a pair of 4K displays will work with a Thunderbolt dock, and require Thunderbolt 4-equipped PCs to charge on at least one Thunderbolt port. Thunderbolt PCs will be able to connect to either “compact” or “full” docks with up to four Thunderbolt ports. Longer Thunderbolt cables will be possible, too. One thing that might not change is Thunderbolt’s exclusivity. Intel developed Thunderbolt with Apple, and perhaps not coincidentally, OEM systems based on rival AMD’s CPUs have never had this technology. AMD officials dismissed the need for Thunderbolt, even though officials indicated that they could ship Thunderbolt controllers without the need to integrate them. The Thunderbolt technology that Intel and Apple designed originated with Intel’s “Light Peak” technology prototype at 2009’s Intel Developer Forum. ![]() Intel’s still pitching Thunderbolt as a single standard to rule them all, but the reality up to now has been complicated. You still have to squint hard at that USB-C-shaped port to determine which of the multitude of USB specifications it meets, including whether it’s a USB4 connection that happens to support Thunderbolt. To muddy things further, Thunderbolt also encompasses PCIe, DisplayPort, and USB Power Delivery standards. Intel’s informal message is “just look for the Thunderbolt.” The small lightning-bolt icon means that port will support everything from USB 3.2 to USB4, and a high-speed Thunderbolt 4 cable will cover all of your bandwidth. Though Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 share the same underlying protocol, Thunderbolt 4 includes more compatibility requirements than USB4 does. That makes Thunderbolt 4 the “complete version of USB-C,” according to Jason Ziller, the general manager for Client Connectivity for Intel, in a presentation to reporters. Thunderbolt has long aspired to clean up the mess that is the various USB standards, all using USB-C as a physical interface. Both the Stackshot and the camera are tethered to the computer via USB. Helicon Remote to control the Stackshot and the camera. Zerene Stacker goes the other route, exposing the conversion process and encouraging users to deal with it as what we think it really is: a key part of the overall workflow that deserves some attention in order to get best results. Stackshot automated macro rail for focus stacking. Helicon Focus non pro version ships with the dust map. Some stacking software from other companies deals with this aspect by accepting raw files at the level of the user interface, then converting them to some RGB format, typically TIFF, in a background process that is easy to overlook and may be difficult to optimize. At this date autumn 2019 Zerene Stacker non pro version ships with basic retouching functions. The structure of data in a typical raw image file, one value per photosite with color implied by a mosaic Bayer filter pattern, is fundamentally incompatible with the image alignment process that is required for stacking. See Working with Lightroom for more details about this "Pro-only" feature.Ī longer explanation is that no stacking software really works directly with raw files. Software which combines a series of partially focussed images into an extended focus image. When using Lightroom with the plugin, processing raw files is just a matter of selecting them and doing an Export to Zerene Stacker. If you use Lightroom, then be aware that there's a Lightroom plugin for Zerene Stacker that handles raw conversion automatically. Helicon Focus supports retouching in the Pro edition, but unfortunately it requires a workaround to achieve something similar to slabbing in Helicon Focus, and. You can download those separately, or use software provided by your camera manufacturer. Zerene Systems does not provide raw converters. After stacking the 16-bit TIFFs, tell Zerene Stacker to save its output also as 16-bit TIFF.īecause 16-bit TIFF files are lossless and have more bits per pixel than are captured by current cameras, this process retains all of the image quality intrinsic to the raw formats. ![]() First you convert the raw files to some standard RGB format, typically TIFF, and then you stack the TIFF files.įor highest quality, we recommend converting raw files to 16-bit TIFF using your favorite raw converter and whatever settings make it work the best. To process any format of raw files, including DNG, takes two separate steps. The long answer to your question shown below is from their website's FAQ. So, let’s get up close and personal with some of the best focus stacking software out there and discover how they can transform your photography experience.It depends on what you mean by the term, support. With the right focus stacking software, you’re not just taking photos you’re crafting masterpieces with unparalleled clarity. ![]() It’s like having a digital assistant that ensures every layer of your photograph is in perfect focus. This nifty software is the magic wand that seamlessly combines those multiple shots into a single, depth-rich image. Now, here’s where focus stacking software steps into the spotlight. ![]() This technique is a must-know in the arsenal of any serious photographer, especially when precision and detail are non-negotiable – think macro, landscape, and product photography. Release the mouse button to drop the files into Zerene Stacker. Select files there, then press and hold the mouse button while dragging the selected files onto the Input Files panel of Zerene Stacker. It’s a technique where you take multiple photos at different focus distances and then blend them together to create one image with an incredibly deep depth of field. Just open another window showing your operating systems file chooser, either Windows Explorer or Macintosh Finder. But wait, what’s focus stacking, you ask? Imagine capturing a scene with every tiny detail in razor-sharp focus, from the foreground right through to the distant background. Today, we’re diving into a game-changer in the world of high-quality photography: focus stacking. |
