The primary processing X-Transformer does is known as the demosaic or interpolation of the sensor color filter array data (CFA) to full color RGB data. Some applications may ignore the default/embedded color profile in the DNG entirely. Even the camera profile chosen in X-Transformer has no impact on the actual image color data and can typically easily be changed in post. The camera profile used and other aspects of the RAW color pipeline post X-Transformer will have a much bigger impact on final color appearance than any of the processing in X-Transformer.Įvery RAW processor may use different default color profiles and color processing routines and a DNG from X-Transformer, just the same as RAF straight out of the camera can show notably different colors and histogram values with different programs and/or profiles, etc.įinal output color for the DNGs from X-Transformer will almost exclusively depend on color processing choices made in the RAW processor used to edit the DNG. Sure some processes like color noise reduction will have some impact on the final color, but for the most part such changes will be very minor and for all intents the color data of the DNG remains virtually identical to that of the original RAF, especially with color NR disabled. The values seen in the histogram and the colors seen visually will depend far more on the initial camera profile and the color processing applied by the RAW processor used than on any color alteration done by X-Transformer during its early RAW processing stages. I've used X-Transformer since day one with Fuji and it works well for me.Īnother note: With the current version of Lightroom you can easily (2 mouse clicks) convert only selected images right from within Lightroom without having to process all of them and then importing - MUCH easier, faster (seconds) and your original RAW files are all still there for when better processing options become available in the future. Note: I'm not trying to sell you X-Transformer here, lots of people are are happy enough with Adobe's X-Trans processing. Same here, the subtle purple in the flowers is almost completely absent on the right Note the lost color detail in the foreground on the right - Where's the green grass fringe? The Adobe conversion often fails to differentiate fine color detail and just smears all the color together (especially at higher ISOs). The general color is basically the same, but the subtle color detail is different. You won't see a difference in the histogram using the same profile as the the Adobe DNG conversion, but when you look at fine detail, it's there. Also, your settings in Lightroom matter, you may not see much of a difference at default import settings, but they will become more apparent with more optimized settings (make sure there isn't too much Color NR applied - for starters, try 8 instead of the default 25 for Color NR at base ISO. I don't recommend using the Iridient color profile at all, it may prevent you from changing the color profiles later. Some of this would certainly considered pixel peeping and won't always be obvious when viewed normally, but there can absolutely can be a worthwhile improvement with some well processed images at normal viewing size. If that change is for the good or bad, I am not certain because I haven't compared enough to have an opinion yet. Additionally, a histogram is the way to observe a change in colors and Iridient does change the colors in it's default. I see a difference in those two files, but I haven't see it in mine, Erik. I may play around with the options on Iridient to see if I can make it do something that isn't in the Adobe DNG Converter, but for now my take on this is that Adobe DNG converter is free and faster so I see no advantage in the Iridient X-Transformer. Since Adobe is a little faster, I think I will use it. The Histograms between the two of them did not move. I went to the color option in Iridient and changed it from "Iridient V2" to "Adobe CC 2018." This made them identical. The Iridient files blues were a little lighter. The only difference between the two is a blue element in the histogram moves slightly between the two. I took a few shots and converted them with both utilities. Adobe's converter seems about 24% faster. X-Trasformer gives you a lot of control, but much of it is redundant with Lightroom (though they do turn off Lightroom's mods that would have been applied for me). Adobe gives you no control over the conversation other than file naming. Since then I've been comparing the two raw converters. Since it was only $40, I picked up a copy and replaced Adobe's DNG converter with X-Transformer. When I posted here about this, I learned of the Iridient X-Transformer. My solution was to use Adobe's free DNG converter and import the DNGs into Lightroom. When I got an X-T3 I lost my ability to import RAF files into Lightroom 5.7. When we look at an object from different distances, lighting, and angles, we interpret the object as having a consistent location, shape, and size. Some refer to this as goal-driven perception.Īn example researchers use is the phenomenon of perceptual constancy. That means that previous knowledge, experience, motivation, emotions, and expectations influence your perception. On the other hand, the top-down theory of processing explains that a person’s cognitive system actively influences perception. In terms of audition, we may notice the loudness, pitch (higher or lower) and the location of a sound. This occurs rapidly, helping us to recognize and identify objects. Early in the vision process, we also discriminate foreground from background, group elements together, and organize textures into basic forms. These are size, color, depth, shape, motion and orientation. B ottom-up processing occurs early in the perceptual process without conscious attention or effort.įor vision, our brain first perceives what are known as primitive features. If you notice a brightly colored painting before noticing a subdued one, it is probably due to bottom-up processing. Some refer to this as stimulus-driven or data-driven perception. Bottom-up Processingīottom-up processing refers to information coming through the senses that influences perception. The Encyclopedia of Perception defines it like this, “Perception comprises an integration of top-down and bottom-up information, with their relative importance determined as a function of the available sensory information, the task at hand, the perceiver’s goals, and past experiences.” These ideas become more clear if you look at each type of processing. In your first psychology or biology class, you probably learned that perception is becoming aware of something through the senses. The theory provides an insightful look at how the brain works and how we can apply this to learning and visual design. Outside of research circles, one under discussed phenomenon is bottom-up and top-down processing. In order to design for the human mind, it’s helpful to understand how attention guides a person to perceive and then comprehend information while learning. I am what I would prefer as a buzzer-beater.First off, I was trying to find the list of rules here but I was unable to find them. I get things done, but almost always end up doing them right before the deadline. I am the sort of employee that drives their managers insane when it comes to compliance items. If you tell me something is due on a specific date, I interpret it as being done at the close of business on that date and will hand it in without fail at the last minute. It is this way with seasonal events in video games, and last night I finally got around to checking out the Halloween event in New World. You technically can receive the quest at 35, but given how fast I got my ass handed to me by the roaming 60s I decided I would come back later. The problem is that “later” never really happened until last night. When the fight begins properly you have a big boss called Baalphazu and a few types of smaller adds that spawn around it. The most common are these little pumpkins, which you can destroy and get a pumpkin bomb that you can throw at the boss. Essentially I think the plan is for those who are lower level to be picking up the pumpkin bombs and chucking them at the boss, which lowers its defenses and starts a burn phase. The larger challenge with that however is when it is doing a burn phase, it is also dealing massive AOE damage. The strategy seems to be to dogpile everyone on the boss and throw down enough healing circles to allow everyone to effectively shrug off the damage. When it worked it went well and 30-40 players showed up at the spawn point. When it did not go well, we struggled to burn down the boss until reinforcements arrived. There were a number of rewards for the event that now makes me wish I had started this a bit earlier. There were three helmets, the one shown above, a pumpkin head, and a witches hat. There was also an armor set featuring a chest piece and helm that are designed to make you look like Baalphazu, as well as a “pumpkinling” that you could get for your home. The bigger reward is that after you had completed the event a few times you got enough faction with the vendor and could start buying item-level 600 weapon patterns. I ran enough of the event yesterday to pick up the cosmetics and greatsword, sword, and shield crafting patterns. Doing the event drops bags of loot that contained the lower-end versions of the weapon patterns, and I believe I managed to get one of those for all the other slots. All told it was a good event and I wish it was sticking around a bit longer, and that more level range variety could have easily participated. Other than that I continue to quest my way through the game. Right now I have a few competing goals the first of which is to continue harvesting up all of my banks full of material so I can do another massive crafting session. The next is to gather up gold and territory standing so that I can purchase a Tier 4 house in either Brightwood or Mourningdale. Weirdly on my server… the guild that controls Brightwood seems to not care much about leveling up that territory so I am starting to lean heavily toward Mourningdale. Whatever the case I have to hit 30 faction in that territory in order to unlock that max-tier home. I think I am about to wrap up questing in Mourningdale, and not certain where the game will send me next. I would assume more than likely it would be Ebonscale Reach. In other news… I lost yet another lottery in Final Fantasy XIV. I know a while back I said I was hopping off the lottery train, and I did for a few rounds… but alas I am back to doing the four-day wait. These aspects of eyeglasses are covered by Medicaid: Children and young adults also get coverage for glasses. Medicaid usually covers the costs associated with purchasing a new pair of glasses, particularly when deemed medically necessary. In What Situations Does Medicaid Cover Glasses? Specific plan details should still be confirmed with your individual plan provider. The database can help you better understand what services are typically covered and what limitations to eye services exist in your state. To get a general understanding of vision and glasses services covered by Medicaid in your state, explore the Medicaid Benefits Database maintained by the Kaiser Family Foundation. By entering your location and the name of your plan, the directory will generate a list of providers in your area that meet your requirements. Visit the company’s website to find an online directory of eye care providers that accept Medicaid insurance plans. The contact and website information for the company that manages your Medicaid plan will be on the card. The first step to finding a doctor and eyewear provider to get glasses is to look at your individual insurance card. For example, people will be covered for contacts following cataract surgery. Some eye conditions qualify people for contact lens coverage. Of note, most states do not cover the costs of contact lenses when they are requested only for cosmetic reasons, which is simply because you like the way they look better than eyeglasses. The cost of prescription glasses and basic frames is usually covered, though you must confirm how much coverage your state offers through your individual Medicaid plan provider. What qualifies as medically necessary also varies by state, but it usually includes diagnosis and treatment of an illness, injury, condition, or disease.Įyeglasses and contact lenses do not always qualify as medically necessary, though many states cover the costs of services related to getting them anyway. Typically, Medicaid covers the cost of medically necessary vision care. The amount of vision coverage offered by Medicaid varies by state. Consulting with a local Medicaid office and your individual plan provider will clarify the best way for you to take advantage of your Medicaid vision benefits. The specifics of Medicaid and your personal plan can be confusing. Vision coverage is guaranteed to children and young adults under the age of 21, as well as adults with a medical necessity for vision care. Medicaid provides health and vision coverage for qualifying individuals and their families. Other eye exams covered by Medicaid include routine, comprehensive, and contact lens prescription exams (when deemed medically necessary). In states that opt to provide coverage for optometry services, vision prescription eye exams are covered. Standard single vision lenses are typically covered, while premium or specialty lenses will cost you more out of pocket. If you qualify for new glasses through Medicaid, you may be limited by which lenses you can select. They will also be covered for adults of any age if they are deemed medically necessary. Children and young adults will always be covered for glasses. Online directories are offered by most providers to help you locate eyewear providers that accept Medicaid.Īlthough glasses coverage is not required by Medicaid, there are many situations where Medicaid does cover the cost of new glasses. To find out where you can use your Medicaid coverage to get new glasses, you must consult your individual plan provider. Optometry services and eyeglasses are covered by most state Medicaid plans. Medicaid coverage of glasses is not required under federal law, though most states offer it as an optional service.
When you listen to “Raindrops,” it can feel like all your troubles melt away for three minutes.īutch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was released in September 1969 with the song being released not long after and it was an immediate hit. I’m not a fan of the trumpet and that outro but it’s a song that radiates nothing but comfort with an easily memorable hook, something we don’t get often in pop songs. In his review, Stereogum’s Tom Breihan bemoaned how the song previewed a lot of the boring easy listening/soft-rock music that would dominate the early ‘70s charts- Thomas himself wasn’t happy about that and literally tweeted “fuck you” to him over his review- and yeah it can come across as boring to some. Bacharach said he got the song from watching the bicycle scene and it fits well with the freewheeling nature of the scene. There’s also the last 30 seconds where Thomas’ voice ends and the song goes into a trumpet-led section that sounds like the montage music they would play on old game shows. Like a lot of Bacharach and David songs, it’s a full-down-the-middle pop production with a guitar that sounds like a ukulele, comforting strings and backing vocals, quiet drums, an old-timey piano, and a chintzy sounding trumpet that Bacharach and David seem to like a lot in their songs. Musically, the song radiates a peaceful bliss that fits well with Thomas’ sunny delivery. There’s a dorky quality to his performance especially in the way he sings the chorus with an upward inflection on each line but it works. He doesn’t sing as if he’s down and out about the rain but instead, he sings with a sunny optimism that everything is going to be great amid the rain. This attitude comes through a lot in Thomas’ singing. He realizes that nothing’s gonna change if he complains or cries about the rain and feels carefree. But Thomas doesn’t fret too much as the blues won’t defeat him since happiness will soon come to greet him. Nothing is going his way like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed to where he tries to talk to the sun saying he doesn’t like him sleeping on the job in providing sunshine. Thomas is having a bad day where rain keeps coming down on his head. The lyrics in “Raindrops” are pretty simple in its concept. After he recovered from his laryngitis, Thomas went back to the studio to record “Raindrops” again for the version that would be released commercially as a single which is the version that still gets played while his raspier original take plays in the movie. Amid the setback, Bacharach and David liked Thomas’ performance and it apparently impressed a 20th Century Fox exec who was at the session to where he thought Thomas sounded like Paul Newman. Thomas’ doctor had ordered him to rest his voice for two weeks but after pleading the doctor allowed him to record treating his throat to help him with recording. Thomas for “Raindrops” but he came down with laryngitis right when he was about to record the song. Bob Dylan was also reportedly approached to sing the song but he also declined though I find it funny thinking of how Dylan’s version would’ve sounded.Īfter those rejections, Bacharach and David settled on B.J. The country novelty star Ray Stevens was approached to sing but didn’t like the song so he turned it down. It just so happened that Bacharach and his writing partner Hal David had “Raindrops” written for Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid but were having trouble finding the right person to sing it. It was “Hooked On A Feeling” that got Thomas connected with songwriter Burt Bacharach when his regular collaborator Dionne Warwick, Thomas’ label mate at Scepter Records, brought the song to Bacharach encouraging him to do some work with Thomas. ARDS: decreased breath sounds in the late stages.Pneumothorax: decreased or absent breath sounds.We hear bronchial breath sounds at the upper level of fluid if the effusion is large. Pleural Effusion: reduced or absent breath sounds.Fibrosis: decreased breath sounds, unless fibrosis occurs in upper lobes when adjacent tracheal sounds may be audible.However, in atelectasis of the upper lobes, sounds produced in the trachea may be audible as the trachea is pulled towards the side of atelectasis. Atelectasis (collapse): If the bronchial obstruction persists, breath sounds will become absent.Here are some common causes of absent or decreased breath sounds: This term, however, is a misnomer, as we have discussed above.Ībnormal Breath Sounds Absent or Decreased Breath Sounds He named it so due to his belief that the air flowing through the alveoli produced these sounds. Laennec, the inventor of the stethoscope, coined the term vesicular breath sound. Vesicular breath sounds are similar in character to the rustling of dry leaves. The expiratory phase is shorter because the breath sounds produced in the latter 2/3 of expiration are mainly composed of high-pitched sounds which are filtered out. It is soft and low-pitched (low frequency), and the expiratory phase is shorter than the inspiratory phase. Vesicular breath sound is the normal breath sound, heard over most of the lung fields during auscultation. Normal Breath Sounds Vesicular Breath Sounds If you remember this basic concept, we shall discuss the genesis of abnormal sounds in each condition in the subsequent sections of this article. We call this changed (attenuated) sound – vesicular breath sound. While they are conducting through these tissues, some (high) frequencies of sound are absorbed (attenuated) and the character of the sound changes. The bronchial breath sounds produced at the major airways have to travel all across the tissues (through the air in the bronchi, bronchioles, alveolar walls, etc.) to reach the body surface from where we auscultate them. The breath sound normally heard on the chest wall, over the respiratory areas, is vesicular.The breath sound normally produced at the trachea is bronchial.But aren’t we told that the ‘normal’ breath sound is vesicular? Yes, we are. It is most certainly bronchial breath sound. You will know if you have auscultated at the trachea. What is the character of the produced breath sound? The velocity of air in the alveoli is not significant enough to create turbulence and audible sounds on auscultation. It is a common misconception that these alveoli produce these sounds. Are there any abnormal or adventitious sounds?īreath sounds are produced in the major airways – trachea and major bronchi.Is the character of breath sounds normal or abnormal?.Is the intensity of breath sounds high, normal, or low?.While performing auscultation, we need to answer THREE simple questions: It will be a paradox if we expect that patient to breathe harder for a long time! Remember that we tend to examine the respiratory system of a patient in great detail only when we suspect that he has a respiratory disease. Requests for deep breathing should be as infrequent as possible, as they can tire the patient. We can easily carry out auscultation while the patient is breathing normally. If the patient’s chest is hairy, then moistening that chest with warm water might be helpful. This avoidance is to prevent friction sounds that may confuse. We should avoid auscultation through clothes as far as possible. The stethoscope should be preferably touching the patient’s bare skin.However, we can examine the anterior regions even when the patient is lying down. Preferably in a sitting position, so that all the areas of the chest are accessible for examination. The patient should be in the proper position during auscultation.A quiet environment is desirable as it makes it easier to listen to breath sounds.Let us start by looking at some requirements for effective auscultation: I have used a Littmann 3200 electronic stethoscope for recording most of the breath sounds. Please use headphones for a stethoscope-like experience. Please explore all the audio examples included in this page. You will find the description of various respiratory auscultation findings with audio examples in this article. Auscultation of breath sounds is one of the most essential and useful clinical techniques for evaluating a patient’s respiratory pathology.
