MARCO HAYEK<p>PHOTOSHOP | CONTRAST TIP</p><p>I have a somewhat older trick here on how you can increase the contrast in your images in Photoshop in a very subtle and more precise way than with various filters. I use this method for all my work, including renderings. </p><p>It's not the best video, but it should be enough. 😊</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/photoshop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>photoshop</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/contrast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>contrast</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/tips_and_tricks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tips_and_tricks</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/skills" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>skills</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/workflow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workflow</span></a></p>

Who Let The Dogs Out 🐾<p>**Magic of SysReq**</p><p>Before you reach for the reset or power off button.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ml/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ml/tags/tips_and_tricks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tips_and_tricks</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ml/tags/sysreq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sysreq</span></a> </p><p>By holding down the `Alt` and `SysReq` (`PrtScr`) keys and pressing specific letter keys, you can send commands directly to the kernel. Since the kernel listens to these commands directly, they will work even if the `X server` is completely blocked and not responding to keyboard input.</p><p>“r” - to reset the keyboard.</p><p>“e” - to send a `TERM` signal to all processes.</p><p>“i” - send a `KILL` signal to all remaining processes, forcing them to terminate.</p><p>“s” is a call to kernel synchronization, all buffers will be flushed to disk to correctly close the remaining open files.</p><p>“u” - unmount all file systems and remount them in read-only mode to avoid further data corruption.</p><p>“b” - reboot the system.</p><p>That is, press and hold `Alt` and `SysReq`, then press `REISUB` in turn, waiting a couple of seconds between each pressing.</p>
Who Let The Dogs Out 🐾<p>**Волшебство SysReq**</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ml/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ml/tags/tips_and_tricks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tips_and_tricks</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ml/tags/sysreq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sysreq</span></a></p><p>Прежде чем тянуться к кнопке сброса или выключения питания.</p><p>Удерживая клавиши Alt и SysReq (PrtScr) и нажимая определённые бу­квенные клавиши, можно отправлять команды непосредственно ядру. Так как ядро слушает эти команды напрямую, они будут работать, даже если X-сервер полностью заблокирован и не реагирует на ввод с клавиатуры. </p><p>“r”, чтобы сбросить клавиатуру. </p><p>“e”, чтобы отправить сигнал TERM всем процессам.</p><p>“i”, отправить сигнал KILL всем оставшим­ся процессам, принудительно завершая их.</p><p>“s” — вызов синхронизации ядра, все буферы будут сброшены на диск, чтобы корректно закрыть оставшиеся открытые файлы. </p><p>Затем “u” — размонтировать все файловые системы и перемонтировать их в ре­жиме только для чтения, чтобы избежать даль­нейшего повреждения данных. </p><p>“b” — перезагрузить систему.</p><p>То есть, нажмите и удерживайте Alt и SysReq, затем по очереди нажмите R­E­I­S­U­B, ожидая пару секунд между каждой из них.</p>
