Compiz-Fusion Desktop Effects in Ubuntu



For some, the great desktop effects of Compiz-Fusion (the OpenGL window and compositing manager formerly known as Beryl) were the reason they tried Ubuntu in the first place. Desktop effects are not enabled by default, since they might unsettle older systems, and for many users they are just an unwanted distraction. If you have them running, you've already figured out how to enable them (if not, go to System > Preferences > Appearance, go to the Visual Effects tab, and choose either “Normal” or “Extra“), but you may be wondering how to take control over them.

First off, install compizconfig-settings-manager, as this is what lets you customize basically every aspect of your desktop effects. Not only can you choose what animations you want for certain tasks (like minimize and close window, etc), but you can edit how they work. That means you can speed up or slow down animated effects, as well as change the settings for every animation plug-in. You can disable some parts of Compiz-Fusion that you don’t particularly care for, and enable a whole lot of other features you never even knew existed. CompizConfg Settings Manager will reside in System > Preferences.
Compiz-Fusion ships with a bunch of plugins (compiz-fusion-plugins-main), but you may need to install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra to get more awesome effects, like Burn (it seems Ubuntu now installs that package, but if it isn't marked as installed in Synaptic, then you’ll need to install it).
You can also install compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported – “an extended collection of plugins which have received the least amount of review and are the most likely to be problematic on your system.” As you can see, this is a use at your own risk package, but if the plugins you have aren't enough, you can always give these a try.
To get a system tray icon that gives you easy access to settings, install fusion-icon. To run Compiz Fusion Icon, go to Applications > System Tools. You’ll find this invaluable for restarting Compiz-Fusion if it has crashed, as it has a Reload Window Manager option on the menu.
For adding and changing advanced window border and title-bar themes, you will need to install emerald. You’ll find Emerald Theme Manager in System > Preferences, and the themes it uses have an .emerald extension. Many themes offer semi-transparent glass-like title-barsanimated control buttons, and shadow and glow around the window borders. They can vary wildly, with themes for basically any taste. You are bound to find a few that you find stunning, so do a web search for “emerald themes”, and download some and import them. You will see previews of them once installed, and all you have to do is click on a preview to enable that theme. And any you don’t like, you can delete. What’s more, you can actually edit installed themes, and save them as your own.
This should be all you need to get you going on the path to greater desktop effects. Have a good look around in the settings manager, and try out some of the cool features not enabled by default. And have a play around with changing some of your plug-ins, like turn the flames of Burn purple and yellow, or add heaps more wobble to Magic Lamp and make it last much longer (that actually looks really good on minimize and restore). Then find some Emerald themes to import, and if you find one you love, but don’t like the title-bar font, or want more opacity, you can edit it. You can control basically every aspect of how your windows are decorated, so if you can’t find any themes you like 100%, then make your own!

Free E-book download for all Google+ users.

Are you new to Google+ ?
Are you a novice in Google social media?
Are you using Google+ for so many days yet unknown of it's complete features?
Do you want to be a successful Google+ user?

All these questions will be answered by this small yet monster 
e-book. This is completely free of cost. Download from my Google Drive with the link provided below.

Google+ For Dummies-Free-Download
[Link Closed]





This e-book is truly portable.  It is a slim volume of 146 pages.  It uses the typical graphic clues and hints that have made all the Dummies guides easy to use.  One important thing to note is that features may not be identical to what is talked about in the e-book. Google+ is being improved and new features are added almost every month.  
This will always be the case for any e-book written about the internet, social networking, and the web. If you are new to Google+, the best way to use this e-book is to start at the beginning and follow through step by step on how to set up your account and profile. 
Chapter 1 covers in clear and easy to understand instruction covering how to set up your profile, circles settings, following others, +1 stuff, and creating your first post.
One of the most powerful features of Google+ is its circles.  It can also be one of the most confusing. Circles are how you organize the people you follow.  
Chapter 2 provides easy to comprehend step by step instructions on using circles and setting up your privacy functions.
Google+ is meant for sharing and Chapter 3, Posting to Google+,” is all about it.  It walks you through what to post, who to post to, sharing, resharing, commenting, moderating your posts, and handling the inevitable troll, someone who constantly criticizes just to criticize, constantly nags, and never gives up.   You will get trolls under the bridge from time to time.
One of the most popular and potentially useful features of Google+ is the Hangout.  Hangout is video chat with potentially more than one person at a time.  Chapter 4 gives you all the instructions you need to be successful in this.  All you will have to provide is the computer with a webcam and, hopefully, witty conversation.
One feature that has great potential but is still underdeveloped is Sparks.  Sparks allows you to create searches of Google that you can use and share with other in Google+.  Chapter 5 covers how to pick your sparks, and how to read and interact with them.
One fun feature of Google+ is games.  Chapter 6 instructs you on how to find games to play, read about what others are doing in their games (the Game Stream), and how to challenge others to games.  you can even play Angry Birds within Google+ Games!
Etiquette on social networks is important.  Chapter 7 provides a good background for the Google+ newbie with guidance for posting and when to comment on the posts of others and more.
Google+ is available as a mobile app for iPhones, iPads, and Android phones and tablets.  The mobile apps have features not available via the web-based version of Google+.  Chapter 8 discusses the apps and how to use them.  You can actually find out who is “Nearby” using Google+ if you have GPS and location services activated on your mobile device.  The mobile apps also have a chat feature called Huddles for group chats.
One feature that many people love is Google+ Photos. Chapter 9 tells you how to view photos taken of you, taken on your phone, and how to upload photos.  It also covers tagging others in photos, privacy settings, and sharing your photos.  You just provide the pictures!
One problem with many social networks is having access to your data for backing it up.  Google+ allows you to do that.  Chapter 10 provides step by step directions for backing it up.  Try doing that with Facebook or Twitter!
You may not be happy with the “look and feel”  of Google+.  If you use Google Chrome, you can use third-party extensions to change or improve how Google+ looks.  Chapter 11 has some suggested extensions.  Some of these are not needed any more because of recent changes in Google+.  I highly recommend you only use extensions for Google+ that come from the Google Chrome Store.

Learn How to post process a single exposure Photo to HDR



HDR Photography involves shooting multiple photos of the same image. But sometimes capturing more than one exposure is impossible. When the subject your photographing is a moving car or a flying bird, there’s no way to photograph more than one shot of the same image.
The three photos below is a result of me shooting from within a moving bus. The camera was hand held and the clowns were riding a moving scooter. Not the ideal situation for shooting HDR!



The photo below is a perfect candidate for creating a HDR photo. Notice the blown out sky and the extremely dark foreground. HDR will bring back colors in the sky and the details in the foreground.
clowns over exposure hdr 490x326 Single Exposure HDR


There are two techniques for creating a
single exposure HDR photograph.

1.Technique One (For them who owns DSLR)


Photomatix will allow you to tone map a single RAW file to create a pseudo HDR image. You can do this simply by opening your RAW file in Photomatix. Once your RAW file is open you will be able to tone map your photo into a HDR image like you would normally.
Personally I don’t use this technique because Photomatix doesn't have any way of separating the light areas from the dark areas. This results in a very flat image with little definition. That’s why I prefer the second technique, which does a much better job of creating a single exposure HDR photograph.

2.Technique Two (For any Digicam or even mobile phone with at least 8Mp)

The second technique is my preferred method. I developed this technique because I was unhappy with the results of the first process. This method allows me to tell Photomatix how to separate the light and dark areas. I do this by manually creating my light and dark exposures from the single photo selected above. These exposures are created in Photoshop using the RAW converter. Below is a step-by-step tutorial to show you how to create your exposures.



Step 1 – Opening RAW in Photoshop

When you open your RAW image in Photoshop you get the Camera RAW window. This window will allow you to adjust your exposure. This is how we will be able to create our digital exposures.

Step 2 – Saving Your First Exposure

The first exposure we will create is our standard exposure. Adjust your settings so that this exposure is evenly lit across your entire image. Click on open image once your done adjusting the exposure. Save that file as a TIF file. You should name it EVEN or anything that will remind you that this file is the evenly exposed photo.

Step 3 – Creating Your Under Exposed Image

The second exposure we will create is our under exposure. Adjust your settings so that this exposure is underexposed by 2 stops. Focus on getting any over exposed areas dark with color and detail. Click on open image once your done adjusting the exposure. Save that file as a TIF file. You should name it UNDER or something that will remind you that this file is the under exposure.

Step 4 – Creating Your Over Exposed Image

The third exposure we will create is our over exposure. Adjust your settings so that this exposure is over exposed by 2 stops. Focus on getting detail in your dark areas, mainly the foreground. Click on open image once your done adjusting the exposure. Save that file as a TIF file. You should name it OVER or something that will remind you that this file is the over exposure.

Step 5 – Merging Your Exposures in Photomatix

Once you are done creating your exposures you can use them to create your HDR image in Photomatix. Proceed like you normally would when creating your HDR photo. You will get a new window were you will need to input EV settings. Set them to 2, 0, -2 if you aren’t sure.

Step 6 – Tone Map, Process, Save and You’re Done

Proceed to tone map your image like you normally would. Once you’re satisfied with your tone mapping, process your HDR image, save it and you’re done. Most likely you’ll need to run your image through Topaz DeNoise cause single exposure HDR is notorious for producing grainy images.
That’s it for this tutorial. I hope this information on single exposure HDR was helpful. Drop me a comment if you have any questions.

How To Increase Laptop Battery Life : 10 Proven Tips




Laptop batteries are capable of providing juice to our laptop for an average of 2-3 hrs on normal usage. Though a recently bought laptop provide much better and extended laptop battery life, after certain time period they usually drain out faster. So, one should always look into how to increase laptop battery life or extend battery life of your laptop.

Every laptop users are fond of multimedia. While your laptop is plugged in, just try to maintain balance between your CPU usage and RAM usage. Though this does quite help you with your battery performance, it's always good to be on the safer side.

1. Disconnect the charger after charging completes:

While using the laptop with the charger plugged in, always keep an eye on the battery indicator. Plug the charger out as soon as it indicates that your battery is fully charged. It's true, many of us including the laptop vendors ignore the fact that plugging in the charger after your laptop has been completely charged, slowly destroys your laptop battery life.

2. Pop out the battery after charging completes

Another way to keep your battery safe from this degradation is to just pop out your battery after it has been completely charged. If you face unknown power cuts at your place and you pop out your battery and suddenly electricity is cut off, you might lose data and also might degrade the health of your laptop. So, just disconnect your charger after it has been completely charged.

3. Use Apps like Quickset for dell to stop charging of your battery with charger plugged in :
You can prevent or stop your laptop from charging after a certain point using various applications that come with your laptop. Most of us don't know about this feature, to use this feature right click on the battery meter icon on the bottom right on your desktop and select advanced battery option. We've demonstrated a picture of preventing charging on Dell Inspiron laptops using the dell Quickset app.

Protect Your Laptop Battery Life : While On The Go


So, laptops have been made for making computing even more portable and available wherever we go. Though not every laptops can provide enough juice to last all day long or carry on heavy tasks. Still, we can extend our battery life and use them for some more minutes while on the go. All these tips can enhance your laptop's battery performance and last much longer than before.

Enhance Battery Performance On The Go

4. Minimize the load ( Apps, Games, Music) while on batteries:

This is the best way for extending laptop battery life. When you are not near the power outlet and are on your laptop batteries just try to minimize the use of apps. Just try to operate a single app at a time. Though music might be an inseparable part of your ;), stop playing music in the background. There's no way they help you get more battery life. 

5. Stop unnecessary apps & explorer from the task manager : 

Task manager can come in handy when it comes to increasing laptop battery life. I personally use this method and trust me you'll get about 1-15 hrs of more battery life with this tip.
What we gonna do is end all the unnecessary apps from the background including the explorer. They take extra memory and battery. (Remember quit only unnecessary apps, "Not The System Tasks".) Doing so might make your PC unstable.

  • Open the Task manager. ( Right click on the start menu taskbar or press Ctrl + ALT + Delete at once)
  • Click on the username tab, which will arrange all the process according to user accounts and will be easier to stop unnecessary tasks. Remember, the tasks under username "SYSTEM" are critical and you should not end such processes.
  • Now find programs that you know and do not need like, I do not need DAP right now so I end the DAP process.

  • Also end the "Explorer". Do not panic because your desktop disappears after ending the explorer but this does really save a lot of power. To run any program or open up any file, do as following.
  • Click on the applications tab and File > New Task. 

  • This will open up the run. Just click on "Browse" and select the app or file you want to use. (Use file types as : All File Types)
how-to-increase-laptop-battery-life-extend-battery-life
This one of the best methods to extend battery life and use your laptop for a much longer time period.

6. Use a headphone for audio: 

Using the laptop speaker does eat up a tremendous amount of power as compared to headphones or headsets. It will gradually help to extend battery life your laptop. While watching movies or listening to your favorite songs, it's always best to use a normal external headset. 

7Turn off all the wireless devices: 

Mostly all the laptops have a hardware switch to turn off the wireless connectivity or the Bluetooth devices. Just turn of the devices when not in use. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi devices can eat a lot of battery because the continuing search for devices or access points so turn them off and extend battery life of your laptop.

8. USB drives, portable devices and CD/DVD drives:

USB Drives and other removable devices should be disconnected after their use. It's better to avoid these devices unless it's really important.  
One of the most important tip has been to never ever insert or use any kinds of CD/DVD while using your laptop on batteries. These media are the ones which consume the most power as compared to other devices, so avoid any CD/DVD. Using these media to copy a file or installing any applications degrades the laptop battery life the most than any other devices.

9. Strictly avoid use of your graphics card (if any) : 

Graphics cards are the beast when it comes to battery draining. They also drain your laptop battery in no time and simultaneously affects the battery life of laptop. So, use your PC for normal use and do not run heavy games and apps  that require  GPU processing.

10. Prevent Battery Draining:

Last but not the least, battery draining is one of the biggest reasons behind shorter life span of your laptop's battery. Never completely drain out the battery, stop the use of your PC when it reached to the alert level ( usually 10%-15%). 
Enable hibernation and never let your laptop sleep on itself because you might loose huge amount of data and information.
