PC antispyware 2010

我有個同事中咗, clean咗成兩日….佢連個kasperky都隊瓜咗, 用張UBCD boot起部機行番個kasperky連9月1日個pattern就scan到好多 files infected, clean完之後再reboot部機個PC antispware又係係番到, 我超. 佢個 manual clean procedure又鬼死咁長, 最後download咗個自稱remove pc antispyware嘅 program (http://www.2-viruses.com/remove-pcantispyware), 都唔知係咪真野, 算, 部機又唔係我嘅, 理佢咁多, 照裝.
最後攬掂, 但係個kasperky就再裝唔到, 裝完license都話no license, 冇佢咁好氣, 裝番個free嘅AVG算數, 都係嗰句, 又唔係我部機.

Under Vista x64, the bundled dcraw.exe (program to read raw file) don’t work. Need go to http://www.insflug.org/raw/Downloads/ to download the dcrawMS.exe & replace it.

This has been documented in the wiki of qtpfsgui : http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/qtpfsgui/index.php?title=Troubleshooting#Raw_files_in_Microsoft_Vista

HDR using a single RAW

This is a interesting topic since it need quite a lot of setup to take multiple exposure of the same scene (at least a tripod). If this can be done using single RAW file, the possibilities is unlimited to me.

Using samples from photomatix

My testing

↑HDR after PS retouched

Of course the result is not quite satisfactory, need a more dramatic scense to practice and moreover, the raw should be shooted slightly underexposed

If not using photomatix, using Photoshop CS3 can also produce the HDR result but oc need more steps and work :
