If you're a photographer using a Mac and why wouldn't you be? then you need this guide to optimizing OS X for your photography workflow.

Macs are still the hardware of choice for the cream of digital imaging experts over two million registered Mac users of Adobe Photoshop can't be wrong. Let the expert advice of Rod Wynne-Powell help you to:
* Configure your Mac for a trouble-free life from capture to output
* Speed up your photography workflow using Photoshop, Bridge and the rest of the Adobe Creative Suite
* Optimize your color management system and ensure the highest quality image results
* Save time through effective storage and retrieval of images

Years of experience dealing with digital image makers queries on a day-to-day basis means he also knows that problems can and do happen even on a Mac so this book is also packed full of vital troubleshooting advice and ways to avoid the pitfalls in the first place.

The only Mac OS X book written specifically for photographers, this unique guide to troubleshooting and working with digital images on a Mac is fully updated for the Leopard release of OS X.

Rod Wynne-Powell runs Solutions Photographic as a retoucher, trainer and consultant for digital photographers. He is an accomplished photographer and an alpha tester for Adobe Photoshop, and acts as technical checker for Martin Evenings Adobe Photoshop for Photographer, also published by Focal Press.

For the first time advances in semiconductor manufacturing do not lead to a corresponding increase in performance At 65 nm and below it is predicted that only a small portion of performance increase will be attributed to shrinking geometries while the lion share is due to innovative processor architectures. To substantiate this assertion it is instructive to look at major drivers of the semiconductor industry: wireless communications and multimedia. Both areas are characterized by an exponentially increasing demand of computational power, which cannot be provided in an energy-efficient manner by traditional processor architectures. Today’s applications in wireless communications and multimedia require highly specialized and optimized architectures.

New software tools and a sophisticated methodology above RTL are required to answer the challenges of designing an optimized application specific processor (ASIP). This book offers an automated and fully integrated implementation flow and compares it to common implementation practice. Case-studies emphasise that neither the architectural advantages nor the design space of ASIPs are sacrificed for an automated implementation. Realizing a building block which fulfils the requirements on programmability and computational power is now efficiently possible for the first time.

Optimized ASIP Synthesis from Architecture Description Language Models inspires hardware designers as well as application engineers to design powerful ASIPs that will make their SoC designs unique.

Written by one of the world’s leading groups in the area of Bayesian identification, control, and decision making, this book provides the theoretical and algorithmic basis of optimized probabilistic advising.

Starting from abstract ideas and formulations, and culminating in detailed algorithms, the book comprises a unified treatment of an important problem of the design of advisory systems supporting supervisors of complex processes. It introduces the theoretical and algorithmic basis of developed advising, relying on novel and powerful combination black-box modeling by dynamic mixture models and fully probabilistic dynamic optimization.

Written for a broad audience, including developers of algorithms and application engineers, researchers, lecturers, and postgraduates, this book can be used as a reference tool, and an advanced text on Bayesian dynamic decision making. A CD contains a specialized Matlab-based Mixtools toolbox, and examples illustrating the most important and complex areas of the material presented.

From the author: A strategy has been developed for optimizing the design of runners in injection molds with multiple identical cavities. This approach is based on mathematically rigorous derivations using the power-law viscosity model under conditions where the pressure drop in runners is not significantly influenced by temperature variation. The design rule to minimize runner volume for specified injection pressure and rate is simple: The diameter of any runner downstream from a junction is determined by dividing the diameter of the upstream runner by the cube root of the number of downstream branches at the junction. This rule has been extended to noncircular runners using the hydraulic radius approximation and the requirement of equal velocities in the circular and noncircular runners. Minimum volume cross-sectional shapes have been determined for U-shaped and trapezoidal shaped runners. For circular runners a method for estimating the pressure drop for nonisothermal flow quantifies the deviation from the pressure drop for isothermal flow at the melt temperature. As runner size decreases, the trend is for viscous heating to dominate over cooling and for the estimated nonisothermal pressure drop to be lower than the isothermal pressure drop.
