From Ivan Roshin To All 20 July 2002

Hello, All! ═══════════════════ razm .t ══════════════════ (c) Ivan Roshchin, Moscow Fido: 2:5020/689.53 ZXNet: 500:95/462.53 E-mail: asder_ffc@softhome.net WWW: http://www.ivr.da.ru Hardware blur ═══════════════════════════════ ("Radiomir. Your computer" 6/2002, under the pseudonym BV_Creator) On the ZX Spectrum, due to its limited graphics possibilities, such construction techniques are often used images where the viewer must move away from the screen to view to a certain distance - in this case neighboring pixels merge and creates the impression of additional colors or (for black- white images) additional gradations of brightness. If look at such images at close range, then everything the impression is lost: only individual groups of pixels are visible - how They say you can't see the forest for the trees. But what to do if your computer is installed in such a way that it is impossible move a sufficient distance away from him? Or, like me, all the area of the screen used to display the image is so so small that it can be covered with a regular postcard? Then after all, if If you move further away, you won’t see anything at all... This is where some blurring device would come in handy. images. Blurring creates the same merging effect neighboring points, as when viewed from afar, but move awayis not required from the screen, and the visible image size is not reduced. Here I will tell you how you can assemble such a device yourself. from scrap materials, and this will not require you special knowledge and any costs, and the entire assembly process It will take literally a minute. In addition, the device can be used with any computer, and the degree of blur is smoothly adjusted in within wide limits. What, intrigued? :-) Take a regular transparent plastic bag, carefully cut it along the seam and keep the resulting film for some time distance from the screen. Here it is, hardware blur! His degree can be adjusted by changing the distance from the film to the screen: than The larger it is, the more blurred the image will be. And so that I didn't have to hold the film in my hands the whole time viewing, try making a special mount for it, like at protective screens. With the use of this simple device, completely scanned photographs, many drawings look new, attribute and chunk effects in intro and demo. ════════════════════════ ════════════════════════ Best regards, Ivan Roshchin.

From Alexander Bondarenko To Ivan Roshin 6 September 2002

*You will live long, Ivan!* It was July 20, 2002, you gave birth to a whole footcloth for All, about “Hardware image blur." She intrigued me, so I sent her a counter message. IR> Using this simple device is perfect IR> scanned photographs and many drawings look new IR> attribute and chunk effects in intro and demo. This is purely our way, the Spekov way! ;))))))) Original, but it works! ;) /That’s all, Ivan, what follows is only the truth.../
