Paint Shop Pro: Used to be shareware but now is sold reasonably cheaply (compared to Photoshop). Runs on Windows machines. IrfanView: A free, lightweight, and fast image viewer and converter. Faster than Photoshop and the Gimp for quick image optimizations, but lacks advanced editing functionality.
The hidden-line algorithm uses n 2 exclusive read, exclusive write (EREW) PRAM processors. The EREW model is the PRAM variant closest to real machines. The hidden-line algorithm does O(n 2 log n) work, which is the upper bound for the best sequential algorithms used in practice.
The result of applying several of these modes depends linearly on the pixel level of the top layer. In such cases, when the top layer is purely black, one gets a certain transformation of the bottom layer (which may be just a purely black or purely white image). When the top layer is purely white, one gets another such transformation.
Baking is also known as render mapping. This technique is most commonly used for light maps, but may also be used to generate normal maps and displacement maps. Some computer games (e.g. Messiah) have used this technique. The original Quake software engine used on-the-fly baking to combine light maps and colour maps ("surface caching").
CutePDF is a proprietary Portable Document Format converter and editor for Microsoft Windows developed by Acro Software. [1] [2] CutePDF Writer can create PDF files, [3] and CutePDF Form Filler can edit simple PDF forms so that they can be sent without using more expensive PDF authoring software.

This is a category of articles relating to free software for making or viewing Portable Document Format (PDF) documents. That is, software which can be freely used, copied, studied, modified, and redistributed by everyone that obtains a copy. Typically, this means software which is distributed with a free software license, and whose source code ...
POV-Ray is a free general-purpose constructive solid geometry ray-tracing package with a scene description language very similar to many programming languages. It can also render parametric surfaces and algebraic surfaces of degree up to seven, as well as triangle mesh approximations using the "mesh" and "mesh2" object types and "param.inc".
This is a simple scaling of the red, green, and blue channels, and is why color balance tools in Photoshop have a white eyedropper tool. It has been demonstrated that performing the white balancing in the phosphor set assumed by sRGB tends to produce large errors in chromatic colors, even though it can render the neutral surfaces perfectly neutral.
