![]() Thanks, Shane, for bringing up the topic of image compression in this post. If you have any questions or feedback, please leave a comment below! You are now armed with the knowledge and the tools to choose the right image format and keep your website fast and beautiful looking.Īre you looking for amazing images to use on your website? Here's how to find free images for your site. Webp is well supported in web browsers, but not yet very common in image editing programs. Webp files are often smaller than either JPEG or PNG files, while maintaining high image quality. This is an image format made specifically for the web and for small file sizes. One image format to keep an eye out for is webp. Most of these are simply worse than JPEG or PNG for use on the web, so they're not worth discussing in greater detail (at least not in the scope of this article). ![]() WP Smush - another WordPress plugin that auto-compresses your images.Īside from PNG and JPEG, there are various other image formats such as GIF, BMP and TIFF.The Kraken WordPress plugin - to automatically compress images you upload to your site (note: our themes have this feature built in).Excellent image compression while retaining high image quality. Here are some services and tools you can use for image compression: In other uncertain cases, it's best to save the image in both formats, compress them and compare file sizes and visual quality to make the decision of which format to upload to your site. ![]() That way, we retain the crispness and readability of the text in the image. In the case of a screenshot, it's almost always best to save it as PNG. Here's what strong JPEG compression does to a graphic: This works fine for photographs, but looks horrible for graphics and screenshots. JPEG uses a method of compression that groups together multiple similar pixels and kind of blurs the lines between things. So, images need to be compressed and in the compression the differences between JPEG and PNG become clearer. We've seen this exact problem affect many of the websites that we've reviewed over the years ( like this one). Loading several, large, uncompressed images can slow your pages down to an absolute crawl and that will send your bounce rate through the roof. That's because these images are uncompressed and as a general rule, you should never use uncompressed images on a website. Even the smaller file in this comparison is much too large for use on the web, at over 1 MB. The image quality is almost identical, but the wrong image format (PNG, in this case) makes for double the file size!īut we're not done yet. And when it comes to website speed and conversion rates, you don't have several seconds to spare. Even on a fast connection, large image files can take several seconds to load. But if that same file is on a website, it has to be downloaded. The file is uncompressed and because it's saved on your hard drive you can open it in an instant. It's all well and good to look at a high-res picture on your computer. Good image compression is about finding a good trade off between file size and quality. In general, stronger compression = smaller file size = worse image quality. Image compression is about reducing the file size of an image as much as possible, without compromising the image data and quality too much. So, if there's no perceptible difference between the images, why not just save everything as JPEG and be done with it? When you compare an image in JPG and PNG side by side, you will probably not be able to tell the difference. If it has sharp lines, clearly separated areas of flat colors and text, PNG is the way to go. As a rule of thumb: if it has many different colors, gradients and textures, JPEG is the right file format. ![]() These brushes are meant to mimic the artistic style from Breath Of The Wild.Īnd let me say this brush pack does a fantastic job. The same artist mentioned above created this Legend of Zelda brush pack designed exclusively for SAI users.

How cool!Įvery Legend of Zelda game has some of the best graphics and character designs hands-down. ![]() You could even mess around with some settings to create your own custom brushes from scratch. Naturally this is pretty frustrating.īut if you grab a copy of this texture pack you’ll have all the assets you need to work with the brush tool on your own. Some of the newer versions of SAI do not come with all the same textures. This is because the brushes often rely on textures to create the end result. This means a lot of artists will take screenshots of their brush settings and release them online, but they won’t always release a full brush file. It uses textures to design brushes along with other settings that you can customize on the fly. The brush tool in SAI works a little differently than Photoshop or Krita. ![]() Let’s kick things off with this massive list of Paint Tool SAI textures. Have a look and see what you think! Default SAI Textures More experienced artists will also enjoy these brushes and find a ton of variety to nail down some very distinct textures. You may not create a masterpiece on your first attempt, but you can at least familiarize yourself with the process. Some even release their creations online for free.Īnyone new to SAI can learn a lot just by playing with these brushes. Many of these artists create their own custom brushes and brush textures.

If you use them, comment here with where you used them! I always love to see what people create with my brushes. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy these! But using Bark at 100 can produce a splatter effect, which is pretty cool. For example, I like to use the Script brush at 100, and I like to use the Bark brush at 50. Different brushes work better under different settings. See that little number right next to the brush drop down menu? Play around with that.

There's only 4 of each, but I figured I'd share it anyway, since it could be useful I decided to create some brushes and textures out of my pastel drawing ( ). There's a 6 foot easement on that side to the fence, so the building wall will be reasonably close to the fence. OTOH, the north side where it will actually go did have the advantage that it could be closer to the "effective" line because the actual property line is about 7 feet into the neighboring property because of what had to be done when subdividing it years ago. It would be "logistically" and visually a lot better if it was on the south side rather than the north side but because of the required 15' side setback, a very large and mature willow tree would have to be destroyed. SWMBO is to not have the structure require removing any live trees. Positioning my own building has been an exercise because a "prime directive" for both myself and Professor Dr. Every property has its upsides and downsides. ![]() I'm sure that what you put up will meet the immediate need and you've mentioned that you do have a plan to move on in a few years to larger quarters. No way that would pass code now, but it's been there for 100 years and is still pretty straight. The funny thing i that the house is also 16 feet wide and has rough cut 2x4 rafters on 16" centers and a 12/12 pitch. If anyone knows of a rafter span table that goes up as high as 90# I would be very grateful to hear of it. It seems to me on a back of the envelope basis that full size 2x10 should be about right, but I am not an engineer. I think there is some extra strength in the full size rafters, too. It looks on the 70# chart like that would be okay, but I would need to go bigger for 90# presumably. They will be at 6/12 pitch, 24" centers and the span will be 8'9". I had specified full size rough cut 2x8 rafters on 24" centers. However, it’s crucial to consult with a structural engineer or adhere to local building codes. ![]() For common beam sizes like 4×6 or 6×6 inches, cedar or pressure-treated pine, spans can range from 8 to 12 feet. I would be happy to use whatever size rafters she told me to, but since neither of us knows what is sufficient I seem to be stuck unless I hire a structural engineer, which I would rather avoid if possible. The span of a pergola beam typically depends on the beam size, wood species, and load requirements. Our tool can also figure out the approximate roof truss cost. Multiply the area by the cost per square foot of metal roofing, 10 per square foot, including installation. The inspector also doesn't seem to know what size rafters are wanted. Input the roof length, the on-center spacing (the distance between the middles of two neighboring roof trusses), and the rafter calculator will return the number of roof trusses needed. Assuming the house is 2000 sq ft and the cost per square foot is 10, the metal roof would cost 20,000.To calculate it, follow these steps: Determine the roof area (2,000 sq ft in this case). I can find rafter span charts for up to 70 psf, but nothing higher. The building inspector says that the roof must be designed for a 90 pound snow load. That’s why we’re using pitch here-because it’s the industry standard term to talk about the angle or steepness of a roof.I have run into an obstacle in getting my workshop design approved. You’ll also find roofing contractors and roofing manufacturers using both terms to mean the same thing: rise over run. And in the end, these differences in how you measure pitch and slope don’t affect the quantity of roofing materials you are ordering.Īs roofs have gotten more complex, the span measurement is less useful because roof calculations needs to take into account different roof sections. You may notice then that what we’ve been referring to as “pitch” throughout this article is technically “slope.” While this can be confusing, pitch is the more common term that you’ll encounter. While both measurements can be used to calculate roofing materials and determine roof type, they are different calculations. Roof pitch is a measure of how much a roof rises in relation to its span. In other words, roof slope is the angle of a roof’s surface relative to the horizontal plane. What you’ll often see referred to as pitch is technically the slope. ![]() Here’s the difference: slope is measured as the rise over run, while pitch actually refers to the rise over span (where span is the entire horizontal measurement of the roof, and therefore equals twice the run). You’ll often find the terms “pitch” and “slope” used interchangeably in the roofing industry however, there is a distinction as they refer to two different measurements. ![]() However, nursing salaries vary by region. As the table above illustrates, registered nurses in Pennsylvania earn about the same annual pay as nurses across the country. Overall, Pennsylvania's nurses earn salaries that roughly match the national median salaries for the profession.

The table below includes employment and salary figures for nurses in Pennsylvania and across the United States. ![]() The BLS projects a long-term growth of more than 30% for Pennsylvania's nurse practitioners, which is well above the 5.5% growth the BLS projects for all occupations in the state. Government statistics point to a positive career outlook for nurses in Pennsylvania. Career Outlook for Nurses in Pennsylvania ![]() For the same period, the BLS projects a 9.2% increase in positions for LPNs and LVNs in the state. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects job opportunities for nurses in Pennsylvania to increase 13% between 20, which translates to about 19,000 new positions. Students interested in the field should consider pursuing their degree in nursing in Pennsylvania, since the field is experiencing significant growth in the state. Advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), such as nurse practitioners and nurse anesthetists, need a graduate degree to earn licensure and practice. Licensed vocational nurses (LVNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs) can practice with an associate degree and a license. Registered nurses (RNs) typically need a bachelor's degree in nursing and state certification.

Our Torchlight Infinite Divineshot build focuses on maximising the damage and number of projectiles you can fire on each shot, turning you into a speedy, AOE powerhouse. There’s D3, D4, Path of Exile, Grim Dawn, that Last Epoch game everyone won’t stop pushing on me, Wolcen, that Warhammer 40K one, maybe I could finally beat Dungeon Siege, Titan Quest, Lost Ark, Undecember… there are certainly a lot out there. How cool would it be to go on an ARPG kick this summer? I could make it a thing, even, if this proves to be a groove. The franchise really came off the wheels there, didn’t it. Torchlight’s always had a bit of whimsy and cheek about it, and here I fight One-Eyed Willy (a pirate, of course) or a big frankenstein mob who “loves his stuffy.” Man, it’s too bad we never got a proper Torchlight MMO or a good Torchlight III. ![]() It really does feel like the counter-agent to Diablo IV’s grimdark universe. I’m not putting any pressure on myself to complete it, but I do think that’d be pretty cool. I can jump in, clear out an area or dungeon, get some loot, and exit out. Nothing too taxing on my mind, nor on my hand - I pretty much just play with a mouse, which feels so weird after always having a hand on the keyboard for MMOs. It’s become a perfect lunchtime diversion. I’m rocking an Engineer with a cannon and bot pets (of course). The lighter tone is more up my alley, too.

As an older title, it runs silky smooth and has pretty much all I want out of an ARPG: loot, WoW-style graphics, helpful pets, simple quests, good feedback. Grim Dawn is always there, as is Path of Exile, but I thought I’d give Torchlight II another try. Cheaper than that, however, was looking at free options that I have access to. I’m genuinely surprised Blizzard hasn’t discounted it in the lead-up to the sequel, but I guess I could get it or Diablo II for $20 each. I’m still on the fence as to whether or not I’ll get it - $70 is a big asking price for my entertainment wallet right now - so I went looking for cheaper alternatives to scratch what will probably be more of a temporary itch.ĭiablo III was a possibility, although my current account doesn’t have it.

What do "Thousand Cuts" and "Sweeping Strike" do? For one, at rank 0 the skill description for each of them appears to be identical. The only thing I've found so far is a passive skill in each skill page that gives some bonuses per counter, but those don't unlock until much later in the game. Does having more counters buff my damage in some way? Are there skills that consume them? The tooltips for all the skills seem to assume that I already know what they are and what they do.
