"Adobe Photoshop is a raster graphics editor developed and published by Adobe Systems for macOS and Windows.
Photoshop CC (14.0) was launched on 18 June 2013. As the next major version after CS6, it is only available as part of a Creative Cloud subscription, ....Major features in this version include All-new Smart Sharpen, Intelligent Upsampling, and Camera Shake Reduction for reducing blur caused by camera shake. Editable Rounded Rectangles and an update to Adobe Camera Raw (8.0) were also included.
Since the initial launch, Adobe has released two additional feature-bearing updates. The first, version 14.1, was launched on 9 September 2013. The major features in this version were Adobe Generator, a Node.js-based platform for creating plug-ins for Photoshop. Photoshop 14.1 shipped with two plug-ins, one to automatically generate image assets based on an extension in the layer name, and another to automatically generate assets for Adobe Edge Reflow.[61]
Version 14.2 was released on 15 January 2014. Major features include Perspective Warp, Linked Smart Objects, and 3D Printing support.
Photoshop CC 2018 was released on 18 October 2017. It featured an overhaul to the brush organization system, allowing for more properties (such as color and opacity) to be saved per-brush and for brushes to be categorized in folders and sub-folders. It also added brush stroke smoothing, and over 1000 brushes created by Kyle T. Webster (following Adobe's acquisition of his website, KyleBrush.com[68]). A Curvature Pen tool, similar to the one in Illustrator, was added, allowing for faster creation of Bézier paths. Other additions were Lightroom Photo access, Variable font support, copy-paste layers, enhanced tooltips, 360 panorama and HEIF support, PNG compression, algorithm improvements to Face-aware and selection tools, improved image resizing, and performance improvements to file opening, filters, and brush strokes."

Fassadendetail des ehemaligen Hauptsitzes der Nordstern-Versicherung, Fehrbelliner Platz, Berlin
Architekt: Otto Firle, 1934-36
Das Alfred-Wegener-Institut Helmholtz-Zentrum für Polar- und Meeresforschung (Alfred-Wegener-Institut – AWI) ist ein Forschungsinstitut in Bremerhaven, benannt nach dem Polarforscher und Geowissenschaftler Alfred Wegener.
Dunkelrotes Klinkermauerwerk mit einem Raster aus weißen, quadratischen Fenstern gestaltet die Fassade. Durch den Ziegelfarbton und die dunkle Verfugung wirkt sie flächig und homogen. Die Details machen die Assoziation eines Ozeandampfers perfekt: Von außen sichtbar sind Geländer als Reling, Kamine als Schlote und das Dach mit Schotten. Letzteres ist als rund umlaufender Balkon begehbar und eröffnet einen weiten Blick auf die Wesermündung und Nordsee.
Architekt Oswald Mathias Ungers † 2007
The Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) is a research institute in Bremerhaven, Germany, named after the polar explorer and geoscientist Alfred Wegener.
Dark red brickwork with a grid of white, square windows shapes the facade. Due to the brick colour and the dark grouting, it appears flat and homogeneous. The details make the association of an ocean liner perfect: from the outside, railings are visible as railings, fireplaces as vents and the roof with scots. The latter is accessible as a surrounding balcony and opens up a wide view of the Weser estuary and the North Sea.

GLOW, Eindhoven - The 'Domus Luma' project was specially designed for the former Augustinian Church, now known as Domusdela. Artist Yann Nguema combines projection, light and laser into an innovative and poetic narrative. Contrary to many other projections - in which a coarse-mesh grid is projected on the wall as a ground layer - Nguema has digitally copied all 50,000 stones of the church.
GLOW, Eindhoven - Het project ‘Domus Luma’ is speciaal ontworpen voor de voormalige Augustijnenkerk, nu bekend als Domusdela. Kunstenaar Yann Nguema combineert projectie, licht en laser met elkaar tot een innovatieve en poëtische vertelling. In tegenstelling tot veel andere projecties - waarbij als grondlaag een grofmazig raster op de muur wordt geprojecteerd - heeft Nguema alle 50.000 stenen van de kerk digitaal nagetekend.

(To soften the very hard black tones (see picture in the first comment), I tried something new: I placed the macro of a white linen fabric in PS over the picture and reduced the opacity so that only a raster remained. I partially removed some areas in the layer mask.)
Am Fluss
(Um die sehr harten Schwarztöne (s. Bild im erstern Kommentar) abzumildern, habe ich etwas Neues ausprobiert: das Makro eines weißen Leinenstoffs in PS über das Bild gelegt und die Deckkraft reduziert, so, dass nur noch ein Raster übrigblieb. Partiell habe ich in der Ebenenmaske einige Stellen wieder herausgenommen.)

Well, indeed. Because this chip has in fact never seen me typing a PIN number at an Automated Teller Machine (and neither has it seen such a machine from the inside). My bank had accidentally issued that debit card, so I only ever got as far as signing it. I'd decided to keep the card for a possible future use for a Macro Monday theme, however, and that future is now.
At first I went for the chip's frontside. I'd noticed that the lines on the chip are actually kind of engraved, so I held a torch right behind the chip to see if backlighting would achieve anything. It did, the lines were glowing in a lovely electric blue tone, and I'd also discovered that there were some letters printed on the chip, like a secret message (that, so far, I've failed to decipher). So I took a few nicely abstract images of the chip's front side, but then I started wondering if backlighting the back side of the chip might yield an even more interesting result. I think it did, and this is what you can see here. The glow pattern that emerged looks like a graphic character to me, and I wish it would mean Peace.
The setup was really simple, card fixated with two clamps, put on a weighty tome to achieve the right shooting position, camera placed directly in front of it, torch held directly behind the chip, one soft light placed right above the tome and card. I've taken images both with the 60mm macro lens plus extension tubes and the 30 mm macro lens without extension tubes (as it has a 2,5x magnification). The images turned out all very similar, only the amount of glow of the lines varied due to the angle of the handheld torch, and this photo had the best colours and contrast. Processed in DXO PL5 and Lightroom where I've slightly enhanced the colours (namely with LR's Primary sliders for red, green and blue).
HMM Everyone, and let us pray for peace for the Ukrainians and for the World.
I'll catch up with you tonight!

Kitty is a kitten and lives with two large and one small people in a beautiful house with a garden.
The kitten lacks nothing. But it would really like to know why people run out of the house and through the garden in the morning and then disappear through the garden door, which is always locked for Kitty.
Is it so beautiful behind it?
One day Kitty can't take it anymore.
The little cat walks carefully through the garden to the fence. Soon she will know what is hidden behind this wooden thing. She stretches curiously. No, that's not enough. A jump until her paws grab the edge. Now pull hard again, her hind legs find support and she pushes her head upwards.
Her eyes widen in surprise at the sight. There is no grass, there are no flowers. Just a dirty gray ribbon on which shapeless metal things without legs slide along. No, they roll and stink and are terribly loud.
Startled, Kitty falls back onto the soft grass, which smells so pleasant.
Then she runs happily through the colorful flowers back into the house.
There's no better place like home.

Kittys Abenteuer
(Text und Bild © EGo für mein viertes Kinderbuch)
Kitty ist ein Kätzchen und lebt zusammen mit zwei großen und einem kleinen Menschen in einem schönen Haus mit Garten.
Dem Kätzchen fehlt es an nichts. Aber es würde wirklich gerne wissen, warum die Leute morgens aus dem Haus und durch den Garten eilen und dann durch die Gartentür verschwinden, die für Kitty immer verschlossen ist.
Ist es denn so schön dahinter?
Eines Tages hält Kitty es nicht mehr aus.
Mit vorsichtigen Schritten läuft die kleine Katze durch den Garten zum Zaun. Bald wird sie wissen, was hinter diesem Holzding steckt.
Neugierig streckt sich Kitty. Nein, das reicht nicht. Ein Sprung, bis ihre Pfoten die Kante greifen. Jetzt noch einmal kräftig ziehen, ihre Hinterbeine finden Halt und sie schiebt ihr Köpfchen nach oben.
Überrascht von dem Anblick werden ihre Augen ganz groß. Es gibt kein Gras, es gibt keine Blumen. Nur ein schmutziges graues Band, auf dem unförmige Metalldinger ohne Beine dahingleiten. Nein, sie rollen und stinken und sind schrecklich laut.
Erschrocken lässt sich Kitty wieder in das weiche Gras fallen, das so angenehm nach Katzenminze duftet.
Dann läuft sie glücklich durch die bunten Blumen zurück ins Haus.
Am schönsten ist es doch zu Hause!

today with comments of Sylvia Kahler who died in October ...
the former title was "Geometry in Art and Reality"
On the left there is a building with a black natural stone facade in the shade. For the visual effect I left it underexposed.

Op deze plek was ik sinds de diesel hoogtijd op de Montzenroute niet meer geweest. In feite is hier niets veranderd behalve dat er nu dus met electrische tractie richting Montzen gereden kan worden. Het verkeer kwam deze zondag laat op gang, te laat om aan deze kant van de Vaalserberg met de meeste treinen goed voor de zon te staan. Als laatste plekje kan hier vanaf een loopbrug of weiland een foto gemaakt worden voordat de zon door is. Het weiland was deze dag geen optie ivm de aanwezigheid van rasters en paarden, dus werd vanaf de brug deze trein vastgelegd. Zou voor de fotostek goed zijn als hier eens flink door DBNetze gesnoeid gaat worden.
