Levels.. a simple trick

Here is a simple trick when you want to git rid of the grayish color of an image after you scanned a printed document and want to reprint it (much more like a photocopy) although scanners has this feature of instant copying, the output yields somewhat "dirty" or grayish background all over (takes the white or colored background and shows grayish background all over)..

after scanning (grayscale mode) often the picture on Photoshop and just follow this simple steps.

CLICK > IMAGE > ADJUSTMENT > LEVELS OR ctrl L

and adjust the input level.. the left part is the black-to-blacker (shadow) part and the right is the white -whiter (highlight) ..normally you would make this two adjustment bar meet each other in the middle just like the image below..(or input numbers in the corresponding input box just below the adjustment bar)

Clash of the Titans (2010)

Greek mythologies are tireless subject when it comes to adventure and fantasy, their vivid illustration of imaginations and mystic creatures are always interesting to learn and discover again and again, in this film the gods and demigods came to entertain us again retelling fascinating adventures unmatched with limitless imaginations. Due to technology in terms of visual effects high expectations and anticipations are now focus on who ever makes a film on such subject.

I have read lots of reviews and comments how this film became a critical failure and a dismay to most movie goers and critics. I haven't seen the 3D version so I cannot comment on that although there it seems the whole or the chunk of the throwing tomatoes came from. Many complain on how it was poorly digitalized. But the portion on which I would agree on many critics is the way they made the fights scenes somewhat less as to what we are expecting. The supposed to be climactic battle between Kraken and Perseus was short of thrilling us, the digital illustration of the monster is cool enough but with todays technology it does not give much flavor. The script is also short of entertaining and witty exchange or argument, and much of the character died easily without epic appeal to us, and lastly I think the original mythology or version of the mythical story of Perseus is far from this remake.

My Rating: 7/10

Scam Text Alert

Be careful in some text that claims they've changed their number into another network at that they need to room it and pretends to be your relative asking a favor to load the new number with some amount..

text like this should be considered or treated as scam if you can't verify the new number, best thing to do is call the number right away, don't entertain it with text replies even if he will mention some names that are credible, remember Facebook, some of your detailed info are already there ready to be exploited.

"ate..si bunso mo to, eto new roaming ko..palodan mo ng 100..thanks.."

"ne, si inay asa hospital nakitxt ako sa number nato, loadan mo sya para mabayadan ko at matawagan nadin kita

Too bad that sim cards are so cheap that con artists capitalize on it, and our TELCOS have no protection to us valid and honest subscriber, the NTC is also useless in tracing such low life as well..

I know if they will only put time to it to catch those bad guys they can, they can trace it..and can block the number at least.

Greenberg

In this film you will find a different (totally different)Stiller, the comedy, the script and entire film is surprising, the opening scene gave me a feeling that this is not a typical shallow comedy film where in what you see is what you get (or laugh).

This film reminded me of an indie film Big Momma (5/10)which, despite high critical praises coming from expert at rottentomatoes and metacritic, I just could not agree with. I'm no expert, hehe.. but I usually follow my own personal preferences in rating films, subjective you may call it, but that is just it, that is how I rate, I base it normally on personal likings.

The film is unique, very unconventional and does not follow standard approach to film making which why I think it's a hit to experts and critics, the "originality" and fresh ideas which, I think they looked unto, but to me it is just another boring film.
5/10

The Spy Next Door

In this film I think Jacky Chan's amazing stunts (fighting and climbing) are still good but it is declining but when you consider his age it is still unbelievable I think he's 56 yet his signature climbing stunts are unmatched . The story is ordinary, plot cast and acting, even effects are common. If not for Jacky this film will be rated lower.

As I normally comment on some so-so movies, It is entertaining but forgettable.
