![]() The Jpeg compression method is designed to compress JPEG images. XZ is an open-source data compression method that makes use of the LZMA2 algorithm to produce a higher compression ratio. ![]() PPMd is an open-source data compression algorithm that can compress most text-based data more effectively than either the traditional deflate or bzip2 methods, but which is quite often slower than either.Įarlier versions of WinZip referred to this compression method as Maximum (PPMd). It can produce a higher compression ratio than older methods. LZMA is an open-source data compression method that uses a dictionary compression scheme that uses a larger dictionary size than the deflate method. It can be particularly useful for compressing large files containing large amounts of highly compressible data such as large text files and text-based database files.Įarlier versions of WinZip referred to this compression method as Maximum (enhanced deflate).īzip2 is an open-source data compression algorithm that compresses most files more effectively than the traditional deflate methods, but it can be somewhat slower.Įarlier versions of WinZip referred to this compression method as Maximum (bzip2). The "enhanced deflate" method is similar to the original deflate but operates on larger chunks of data at a time, often resulting in improved compression. WinZip 12 and later no longer uses Fast and Normal when compressing files, but it can still extract files compressed with any of these methods. These all used the same basic technology but were optimized in different ways for speed vs. ![]() Therefore it will generally compress your files somewhat faster than Legacy, but the compressed files will be somewhat larger.Įarlier versions of WinZip supported four variants of the deflate algorithm, referred to as Maximum (portable), Fast, SuperFast, and Normal. It is the same basic algorithm as is used for Legacy compression (see above), but is optimized for speed rather than compressed size. This is a good, general-purpose compression algorithm known as "deflate". Therefore, to save time, it may be best to select None or No compression when you are adding a group of files that are already compressed. In most cases, these types of files cannot be further compressed to any significant degree by the available methods. For example, many multimedia and sound files, such as avi and MP3 files, are precompressed versions of images and sound. Some files that you may want to add to a Zip file are already compressed. Here is additional information for all of the compression methods supported by the current version of WinZip: Additional information on specific compression methods zipx files, respectively.įor more detailed information on each of the compression methods, see the Additional information on specific compression methods section below. Set the appropriate compression method in the. Setting the compression method is accomplished on the Zip tab of the WinZip ribbon. In the WinZip Ribbon Interface, you will need to select the appropriate compression method to use prior to beginning the zipping process. In making a choice of compression methods, there are several things to consider, including the type of data you are compressing, your plans for later unzipping the data, and the amount of time you are willing to wait while your data is being compressed. I wrote a blog post which explains how I received these numbers.WinZip ® provides several methods for compressing the files that you add to a Zip file. But I think these values are good as a rough estimate. So it is not so easy to understand what value should be taken as typical for a specific JPEG quality. for Q=55 min compression ratio is 22.91 while max value is 116.55) and the distribution is not normal. To tell the truth, the dispersion of the values is significant (e.g. After some Excel magic, I came to the following values (note, I did not calculated anything for JPEG quality lower than 55 as they seem to be useless to me): Q=55 43.27 I created a script which compress them with different JPEG quality values (it uses our company imaging library, but it is based on libjpeg, so it should be fine for other software as well) and saved results to CSV file. I took 60 real life photos from different devices with different dimensions. I cannot say that it is perfect, but it is definitely better than others. I had exactly the same question and I was disappointed that no one created such table (studies based on a single classic Lena image or JPEG tombstone are looking ridiculous).

Well now you can… with nothing but a text prompt □ No wonder some folks are convinced that these intricate digital illusions are actually real. The ability to ‘learn’ and replicate reality could take us to places beyond our imagination. Think about this: with the advent of generative AI, we’re on the cusp of a new era where CGI hoaxes like this could become even more convincing. The final result is nearly indistinguishable from reality. We’re talking UFO, road, car, sky - all of it, 100% CGI! You’re witnessing an artful mix of 3D modelling, animation matte painting, fluid simulation, and photogrammetry. Well, students from the Gnomon School of Visual Effects, Games + Animation teamed up with MeniThings Productions, Inc and took hoaxing to the next level. Typically, you capture that characteristically shaky real world footage and add in a computer generated UFO. The app works fantastically well and can even be controlled with Bluetooth keyboards or other third-party accessories.What you’re witnessing is the immaculate fusion of 3D animation, visual effects, and photogrammetry - a far cry from your typical UFO hoaxes. Speechway lets you turn your script into "pages" for easier breaks, add cue points (like bookmarks), and save the script to reuse for later. The scripts themselves are easy to make, especially since you can import files from Google Docs or any TXT or DOC file on your Android. Adjusting opacity, font style, and font color are premium options. Adjust the speed and size of the text freely, and go through all the various options to customize it. You can adjust the widget's position and size anywhere on the screen (keeping it closer to the camera is better, as you look as if you're talking into the camera). The widget mode is the most interesting one. Camera mode uses the camera within the app, while widget mode overlays your script as a widget on any app for live-streaming or recording. ![]() The classic mode turns your phone into a dedicated teleprompter rig to be used with a camera. Speechway has three modes: classic, camera, and widget. ![]() If you don't get it the first time, don't worry, just restart until you can get it.

You should take this opportunity to gain speed, drive on the corner's outside lane, and pass him up. Darius will brake and take the inside of this corner. After this, there will be a wide left turn that doesn't have a breakable wall. After you pass the 2 hairpins, there will be a road that slightly crooks to the left. When you finally get there, hold out until you're about 60 - 70% into the race. ![]() Third, bear all the races before Darius's Canyon Duel. Second, make sure its performance is maxed out.

In March 2020 Southwest Airlines began offering priority boarding to companions of elite members flying on the same reservation. But that puts passengers in the position of awkwardly protecting seats. In practice, up until now companion pass holders would board separately from their travel companions and save seats for their companion which is not against Southwest’s rules. Priority boarding matters a lot more with Southwest than with other airlines due to the lack of seat reservations. The 10,000 point boost applies to Companion Pass qualification only - these points aren’t redeemable.You can only earn one boost of 10,000 points per member, even if you have more than one Southwest credit card.Those who earn via the co-branded credit card route, which seems to be the majority of people according to the internet, get an initial boost of 10,000 points at the beginning of the year meaning Companion Pass won’t actually be harder to earn for those people. Those earning Companion Pass through flying see absolutely zero changes with the current setup. The catch is that it has to be on a Southwest flight, and you have to pay just the taxes and fees (which start at $5.60 one-way) for that person.Ĭhanges though, seem to be all on paper and no one seems to be materially worse off. ![]() ![]() Whether you’re a frequent traveller, or planning some revenge travel, with the Companion Pass, qualifying Rapid Rewards members can take a travel companion with them on an unlimited number of flights over the course of a membership year. However, in 2023, the carrier is making yet another change to the way in which the Companion Pass can be earned.įor those no t familiar with Companion Pass, it’s one of the best deals in domestic and short-haul international travel. In 2019 they increased the threshold, raising the bar from 110,000 points to 125,000 points. The biggest change Southwest is making to Rapid Rewards in 2023 so far seems to be the way it is handling Companion Passes. Southwest made four changes to its rapid rewards programme but only really went into detail on three of them. What is Southwest Changing To Its Rapid Rewards Programme in 2023 ![]()
