File Extension PSD

Ok, the next file extension I am discussing is the File Extension PSD. It is an Adobe Photoshop Image that is layered. The layers enable an illustration to be built with individual graphic elements that can be moved over and over to obtain a desired result. I am sure almost everyone has heard of Adobe Photoshop. I have used several different programs for use in photo editing and the PSD format is one of the main formats of Photoshop and it is popular because it can be read by Macintosh and Windows computers.

File Extension PSD, as a file designated to PhotoShop, takes up less memory space than TIFF files that are uncompressed. Image editors that have the ability to read file extension PSD are Adobe PhotoShop, Corel PhotoPaint as well as Corel PhotoPaint Pro and Ulead PhotoImpact. PSD is the default, and the only file format, besides the Large Document Format (PSB), that supports most Photoshop features. So, for anyone that does any kind of photo or image editing, the PSD format is a great one to use, if you can. Enjoy!

My baby girl!

As most of you may know, we finally had our baby girl 3 weeks ago. Her name is Alexha Josilee Finney and she was 8lb's 2.8oz, 18 3/4 inches long and she has alot of hair! Our son Josh loves to tickle her feet too, haha. We have been slowly adjusting to life here at home with another member to our little family. Things have been going well too as both mama and baby are doing good. Sheila is getting around alot better now that she isn't hurting so much. I truly love her strength and I know that having another baby isn't easy, but she is handling it very well. I am glad too that Josh isn't jealous of her, as that helps us alot. He is a happy big brother! More post's coming soon, so stay tuned!! Cya online.......

File Extension KML

Hello all! Are you ready for another File Extension? Yeah, I thought so. Ok, here it is. Today, we will learn about File extension KML. KML is most commonly used to refer to a Keyhole Markup Language file. KML files are primarily used to store geographical information in a standard XML format which is used by Google Earth.

Keyhole Markup Language was originally created by a software company called Keyhole Inc for use with Keyhole Earth Viewer, which later became Google Earth. The file extension KML format was developed specifically to store geographical information and annotations which could be overlaid on maps. KML files contain a longitude and latitude as well as place markers, polygon shapes, images and text which can be used to illustrate or label a specific place or area on a map. Additional information, such as camera angle and altitude as well as linked textured 3D objects can also be stored for use with 3D earth browsing software. KML files allow developers to create customized layers of information which can be overlaid on existing maps for illustration or abstraction purposes.

File extension KML has been an open standard for use in geographical browsers, and is currently used by a number of websites and applications including Google Earth, Google Maps, Microsoft Virtual Earth, Earths Ector GIS and Geomedia among others. Just in case you were wondering, XML is a document creation language developed to replace HTML and provide more structure to documents and we all know HTML is a language for creating web pages. So, there you have it. Hope you enjoyed yet another File Extension that you may not have heard of before.

Robo-Surgeon

Two surgeons in a Paris hospital have performed the first successful open-heart surgery in year 1999 using a computer-controlled robot, reports the French newspaper Le Figaro. Six operations were performed, including a coronary bypass. The method involves operating through a one-and-a-half-inch [4 cm] incision. Sitting at a console several feet from the patient, the surgeons look inside the patient’s body by means of a camera and use two joysticks to direct the robot’s arm movements. Because the computer reduces the surgeons’ movements by three to five times, the surgery is more precise and less invasive. Another advantage is that the patient experiences less pain during recovery. Now adays medical procedures are getting more and more high tech and wide spread. We will continuously see more discoveries about our technology today and in the future.

File Extension AMR...

Ok, the last file extension I am curious about and discussing is the File Extension AMR. This is another one I had no idea about, so I did some research on it is short for Adaptive Multi-Rate and is a patented audio compression optimized for speech encoding. File Extension AMR is also a file format for storing spoken audio using the AMR codec. Many modern mobile telephone handsets will allow you to store short recordings in the AMR format. Programs exist to convert between this and other formats such as MP3, although it should be remembered that AMR is a speech format and is unlikely to give ideal results for other audio like music.

It is a little technical, but the usage of AMR requires optimized link adaptation that selects the best codec mode to meet the local radio channel and capacity requirements. If the radio conditions are bad, source coding is reduced and channel coding is increased. This improves the quality and robustness of the network connection while sacrificing some voice clarity. The new intelligent system allows the network operator to prioritize capacity or quality per station. AMR was adopted as the standard speech codec by 3GPP, which I already mentioned a little.
So, there is a little more file extension information for you. More to come later, enjoy!!
