AMD brings advanced graphics to embedded systems

AMD introduced the ATI Radeon E2400, a high-performance graphics processing unit that delivers the latest 2D, 3D and multimedia graphics performance to the embedded market.

Embedded graphics applications include test and instrumentation, human machine interfaces (such as Kiosks, Point-of-Sale, and Automated Teller Machines), display walls, patient monitoring, casino and arcade gaming, and various multi-display applications. The graphics technology is backed by a planned five-year availability and long-term support offering reliability for a variety of applications on operating systems featuring Microsoft DirectX 10 and OpenGL 2.0.

ATI Radeon E2400 is offered in a compact package size. Built on 65nm process technology, the ATI Radeon E2400 includes AMD's Unified Shader Architecture with support for Microsoft DirectX 10. The device package incorporates 128MB of on-chip GDDR3 memory for graphic-intensive applications.

For designs that require a low profile solution, AMD offers the ATI Radeon E2400 MXM-II module based on the open standard MXM-II specifications. ATI Radeon E2400 MXM-II uses the ATI Radeon E2400 core and 256MB GDDR3 memory.

The ATI Radeon E2400 is scheduled to ship this month in production quantities.

Letterhead & Logo Designs: Typography

The wonderful thing about design is its diversity, its individuality. For every problem there are an infinite number of solutions. In the face of such inestimable quantity, however, successful design is nonetheless a qualitative experience—one in which context is as important as content, and for which concept trumps all.

Typography: Type that moves you. These works express a designer's love of letters. Though they share a common alphabet, each is unique in both form and meaning.

Photoshop Fundamentals: Create a Scrolled Photo Edge

There’s no need to settle for mundane photo edges when you can create eye-catching ones quite easily using Photoshop. Photo edges can help create the right mood and some images become more expressive and refined with an artistic edge design. For the scrolled photo edge effect, you’ll create a scroll brush using the Define Brush Preset feature. You will enter Quick Mask mode, which allows you to convert a selection into a mask to then be edited. Edges can be distorted and filters applied. You’ll use the scroll brush you created to paint the effect and change the brush’s pixel settings so the scrolls vary in size. Exiting Quick Mask mode then converts the mask back into a selection.



A liquidlibrary Tip

Launch Photoshop and download scroll.psd. Press F7 to show the Layers palette. Option-click Layer 1 to select it. Choose Edit > Define Brush Preset. In the resulting Brush Name dialog box, enter “Scroll” and click OK.

Open a file of your own choosing or download violin.psd. Press D to set Default colors (black foreground, white background). Using the Rectangular Marquee tool (M), draw a selection that is about .25 inches inside the top and bottom of the photo.

Press Q to enter Quick Mask Mode. Choose Filter > Artistic > Underpainting. Use the options in the resulting Underpainting dialog box and click OK.

Choose Filter > Blur > Motion Blur. Use the options in the resulting Motion Blur dialog box and click OK.

Choose Filter > Blur > Box Blur. Use the options in the resulting Box Blur dialog box and click OK.

Select the Brush tool (B). Use the options in the resulting Options bar and click the Brush button to open the Brush Preset Picker. Select the Scroll brush and change its size to 655. Click the Brush button again to close the picker. Paint two large scrolls next to each other across the top and bottom of the border. Choose Filter > Box Blur (Command + F).

In the Options bar, change the Brush Size to 435 and the Opacity to 40% (below, left). Paint 3 scrolls next to each other across the top and bottom of the border. Choose Filter > Box Blur (Command + F).

In the Options bar, change the Brush Size to 328 and the Opacity to 100% (below, left). Paint 4 scrolls next to each other across the top and bottom of the border.

Press Q to exit Quick Mask Mode. In the Layers palette, select Layer 1 and click the Add Layer Mask button.

Softening Nighttime Shots With Gaussian Blur

Sometimes the harshness of night illumination shows too many facial blemishes. Since you have the power, why not remove them? Cloning them out can work for individual marks, but for overall appearance, creating a soft mask for the face provides the subject with a pleasant appearance. This technique requires a duplication layer of the image, a Gaussian blur, and some careful cutouts. The intensity of the effect can be controlled via the layer Opacity setting. To work along with the example, download and open Alicia.jpg in Photoshop.



Despite Alicia’s smooth complexion, the angle of light shows a texture on her face. Rather than touch up each blemish, I duplicated the layer by dragging the active layer to the New layer button on the bottom of the palette. Name it Blur.

Draw an outline around the subject using the Lasso tool. This will limit the blur to roughly the subject area.

Apply a Gaussian Blur by going to Filters > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Radius was set at 9 pixels. The higher the setting, the more blur.

Since the subject area is all that should blur, let’s remove it from the background. The area is already selected; just inverse it and click Delete. Click off the eye on the Background layer to see your handiwork.

At this stage, the image resembles a Photoshop project gone awry. That’s good! The key here is to blend and tweak this image into position. The Gaussian Blur provides an overall softness to the face. To make it appear natural, the lips, facial hair, and eyes must be sharp. Use the Brush tool to clean up the area around her head and shoulders. Turn the Background layer back on.

Now let’s get to work on the blurred area. Start with the eyes. Magnify the workspace as much as possible, and fi nd a brush size that allows you eradicate just the blurred eyes. The brush should have a hardness of 50%. Erase the area inside the eyes on the Blur layer to reveal a sharper eye on the Background layer.

Eyebrows are next. Match the brush size to the width of the eyebrow and set the hardness to 50%.

At this point, most of her face is still blurred. The nose and the lips still need to be sharpened. Let’s clean them up.

On the Blur layer, remove the blur on the lips. Be sure to soften the edges and set the brush hardness to 75%.

All that remains to sharpen is her hair, shirt, and halo from the initial selection. By removing the blur from her face, neck, and shoulders, those features now appear quite sharp.

After applying the blur, and selectively removing it from the features we want to emphasize, it’s time to go back to the blurred area to fine-tune it. It appears unrealistic in its current state. Let’s tone it down by adjusting the opacity of the Blur layer to 50%.

For a finishing touch, the image was cropped to show off the subject (click to enlarge).
