This, along with its high color accuracy, makes TIFF a good image format for photographers and designers. Unlike JPGs, TIFFs are able to contain multiple images. JPGs are one of the most popular image formats thanks to their versatility, size, and ease of use.Ī TIFF or TIF is a less common image format. Those pixels could make up a photograph, a drawing, a screenshot, or pretty much any form of visual media. A JPG (or sometimes JPEG) is a type of image file made up of a grid of colored pixels. Photoshop will export 5 individual images that are each 1080 pixels wide.Most people reading this are very familiar with JPGs. Hold SHIFT and click on each of the individual sections of the image, double check the rest of the export settings, and then click Save. Open the File Menu, go to Export, and then select Save for Web (Legacy). Photoshop will automatically separate the image exactly where each Guide falls. With the Splice Tool selected, click on the button in the toolbar above that says Slices From Guides. Then, to actually split the image, select the Splice Tool. Photoshop will automatically create Guides that show where the image can be split to create 5 equal parts. Then set the number of columns to equal the number of sections you want–in our case, 5. ![]() Open the View Menu and select New Guide Layout near the bottom of the list. Photoshop makes divisions like this pretty painless. Now that we have a 5400-pixel-wide photo, we need to divide it into 5 equal parts (since we’ll need 5 individual posts that are 1080 pixels wide each). Keep in mind that the height may not match the recommended dimensions, so some additional cropping may still occur when you upload the final photos. We now have an image that is exactly 5 times the width of a single Instagram post. Go to the Image Menu and select Image Size. Now we can take that number of 5400 pixels, and resize the example image to match. Since we’re aiming for 5 posts, we need our image to be 5 times the width of a single post. The recommended width for a single post is 1080 pixels. We decided that we want to spread this image across 5 Instagram posts. This is relatively easy to figure out, and just requires some quick math. There’s no way we could post this to Instagram as-is without having to crop quite a bit of the image away.īut, using those dimensions listed above, we can split the image into multiple sections, where each section is the perfect width for an Instagram post. Let’s take a look at our example and see how it’s done! Resizing an Image for Instagramįor our example, we’re using a panoramic image that’s very, very wide. With these dimensions in mind, we can figured out how to divide an image into multiple sections of equal width. The Best Image Dimensions for Instagramīefore uploading to Instagram, you’ll want to know the best dimensions and proportions to use so that your images display properly. The best part is that it can be done in just a couple of minutes with some very easy-to-use, automated tools. If you’ve ever wondered how to make seamless multi-posts on Instagram (those posts where you’re able to swipe across a single, panoramic image), we’re here to show you how it’s done! ![]() ![]() ![]() And really exciting for me, now, having made four films with her, to do something completely different from the world of Panem and Katniss." Red Sparrow flies into theaters March 2nd. So it was a fun world, specifically, tonally, to explore for me, and I think also for Jen. I don’t want to do the same thing over and over again. You know, I always like trying to do something different. And that was something that was really exciting to me. It’s not an action film, it really is a thriller. And then there’s a violence to it, there’s a perversity to it, there’s a sexuality to it, there is a slow burn aspect to it. ![]() The spy genre is something quite well-worn, and so one of the aspects that excited me was the real personal, emotional, visceral story that this film has. Most of the things that I’ve done before have been kind of hybrids, in a sense. Everybody embraced it going forward and have until the end, which is fantastic." Lawrence believes Red Sparrow "is probably the most specifically genre type of film that I’ve made. And we kind of went for it, and there were no sort of blocks in any way from the studio side. "The tone that I saw in the book was something that was really exciting to me," Lawrence said, "and the thing that I feel very lucky about is that the studio - when I sat down with the studio and with the producers, they all embraced it, they all said yes to it, as did Jen. “For as violent and brutal as Red Sparrow will get (Lawrence confirmed it will be R-rated), filmgoers should expect a movie that's more slow-burning in its intensity than say a more frenetic espionage flick a la Bond or Bourne. ![]() It’s something that we, Jennifer and I, played with subtextually, in terms of her performance and sort of the character, but we did not portray visually in the film." It was this more personal, less fantastical approach to the material that ultimately made Lawrence - whose other directorial credits include I Am Legend and Constantine - want to direct the picture (his fourth collaboration with Jennifer Lawrence). But it would have been too sort of easy of a visual language, you know, for us to show who’s good and who’s bad, and I wanted to keep that much more mysterious." Lawrence went on to clarify that "there is a scene where we nod to it. "But the idea that she can see these things is something that Jennifer and I talked about, something that we played with, and it’s obviously certainly plays into the idea of intuition and her being really good at being able to kind of read people. "That was one of the first things that we kind of threw out, because it, you know, on film and visually it would read a bit magical, and I think our story and our film is much more grounded," Lawrence said. But as director Francis Lawrence explained during our recent phone chat, synesthesia won't be depicted in his film adaptation. In Jason Matthews' book, Dominika experiences a form of synesthesia, a perceptual phenomenon that allows her to see emotions in colors, a unique ability that comes in handy for an intelligence asset looking to discern other people's natures. ![]() ![]() ![]() The appearance of such marks is not an indication of any association, sponsorship, endorsement or affiliation of such mark's owner with The UPS Store® franchise network, The UPS Store, Inc.

At the time of her marriage, her mother lived on Long Island and had the two remarry at a New York church. "Jack" Mercer, who provided the voice of Popeye. On March 3, 1939, at the purported age of 21, Hines married her 29 year old co-star Winfield B. Hines was born in Glendale, Queens, New York City, in October 1909 as Margaret Louise Hines. The Marry-Go-Round (1943) was Hines' final short as the voice of Olive, with Mae Questel returning to the role in 1944. Hines voiced Betty Boop through her final series entries in 1939, and continued to voice Olive until 1943, when the studio, by then taken over by Paramount Pictures and renamed Famous Studios, returned to New York. As a result, Hines was hired to replace Questel in both the Betty Boop and Popeye series, beginning in 1938. Mae Questel, who was Fleischer's voice for Betty Boop and Popeye characters Olive Oyl and Swee'Pea during the mid-1930s, was unable to move with the Fleischer Studios staff when they left New York City for Miami. Her Van Beuren credits were erroneously attributed to Bonnie Poe, another actress who'd worked for Fleischer on Betty Boop cartoons. Hines and several other actress voiced Betty until Mae Questel took over the role in 1931.īeginning in 1932, Hines also did vocals for Aesop's Film Fables and Tom and Jerry produced by Van Beuren Studios. Hines was the original voice actress for Fleischer's cartoon character Betty Boop, whilst she was touring vaudeville she was heard by vocalist Billy Murray, an employee at Fleischer studio who suggested she was the right choice for the voice of the character she made her who debut in the cartoon short Dizzy Dishes in 1930, studio head Max Fleischer hired Hines, as she was a Helen Kane sound-alike, and Kane was the basis for the character, who in turn based her act on singer and child entertainer Baby Esther. She also provided the voices for Fleischer's animated films Gulliver's Travels and Mr Bug Goes to Town. She was known for her work at Fleischer Studios, where she was the original voice of Betty Boop, (although Little Ann Little erroneously claimed to have been the first and longest serving voice artist), Hines served from 1930 until 1932 and again from 1938 until 1939, before voicing Olive Oyl and Swee' Pea in the Popeye the Sailor cartoons from 1938 to 1944. With every hour, he says, his respect grew for this admirable and talented woman who entertained millions of people.Margaret Louise Hines (Octo– December 23, 1985), also known as Marjorie Hines or Margie Hines, was an American animation voice artist. Woody Allen, Lou Hirsch, Doris Roberts and Bob Newhart shared their accounts of Mae Questel with the author, and he listened to hundreds of hours of old audio recordings and viewed many hours of film to accumulate material for this biography. She was dedicated to her work and remained active until the last ten years of her long life. ![]() Taylor provides a look into the life of a wonderful woman and the contributions she made to American pop culture. Mae Questel was an American actress and vocal artist who put the "boop" in the "boop boop a doop." It was because of Mae Questel that Betty Boop has a characteristic voice heard and remembered by millions. But few people know the voice that helped make her into the icon she is. Just about anything you can think of, her sexy little figure can be seen on it. Recognizable from cartoons and film shorts, she can be found adorning almost everything from motorcycle merchandise to household items and clothing. Betty Boop is an iconic figure that will endure through the decades. ![]() ![]() ![]() Please let me know if there are other colors available! Thanks much. /rebates/3316XCU.html&.

As for performance, Jon credits unique genetics and the long understood power of hybrid vigor. Black cattle suffer in the heat,” Jon says. Their light coloring also works in their favor. Highlands have two coats of hair and can shed the longer outer coat in hot climates. “As long as they have a little shade, they’re happy,” John Wayne George reports. His initial concern with having a northern breed in his southern pastures has proven a non-issue. “A Highland cow will get fat in a pasture stock cattle would starve in,” Jon says. They’re efficient feed converters and foragers. The cross has short sturdy legs and feet like a Clydesdale, making them less likely to have foot and leg issues, he notes. “At 180 days, that 45 to 60-pound calf is the same live weight as a 110-pound calf. Red Angus also are known for quality milk and maternal traits, making for a good team. Highlands produce high butterfat milk, helping calves quickly put on weight. He noted calves sired by the Highland Red bull (a name trademarked by Jon and Margaret) grew faster than those sired in past years by an Angus bull. It’s easy on the cows and the calves are beautiful,” Chris says. “The calves are small, but they catch up quick. Described as, ‘A big old pet, 1,700 pounds of loving,’ Henry alone bred the George’s entire 50-head herd. Birth weights are around 50 pounds, but the calves are vigorous and healthy.Ĭattlemen Chris and John Wayne George of Akron, Ala., saw this first hand when they bought “Henry,” one of Jon and Margaret’s F1 bulls. The cross is docile with impressive longevity, producing up to four more calves than standard breeds.īulls are prolific, covering large groups. Highlands are horned, but produce a naturally polled offspring when crossed with red Angus. Combining red Angus and Highland genetics brings out the best of both breeds. The results are encouraging and worth note. Now Jon and Margaret’s small, pampered herd produces F1 Highland/red Angus bulls for use on commercial herds. He eventually sent Jon his book and worked with him via email to sort out a breeding plan. I called him, but couldn’t understand him and he couldn’t understand me,” Jon laughs. ![]() “I found a researcher at the Royal School of Veterinary Studies in Edinburgh, Scotland. His research revealed he could get the best of both breeds, especially in the area of meat quality, with F1 crosses created by breeding red Angus heifers to Highland bulls as they’ve done in Scotland for ages. Leaner than turkey, if cooked past medium the eating experience goes downhill fast, Jon explains. ![]() “They have great longevity, producing on average for 20 years, and excellent disease resistance.” Red Angus and Scottish Highland cattle kept rising to the top in their search-the long-haired half a seemingly odd choice for hot Alabama. With those successes in mind, they briefly considered and discarded the idea of buffalo. We use an aquaponic greenhouse to provide lettuce in the off-season. We grow heirloom tomatoes-and purple potatoes and wonderfully sweet zephyr summer squash,” Margaret says. They’d learned from their other ag endeavors a unique product draws its own business. Jon and Margaret researched cattle breeds extensively. ![]() In 2018, Tuscaloosa County Farmers of the Year.Īlong the way, they got the yen to add cattle to the mix.Ī Unique Choice. In 2013 they were named Area III winners of the Alabama Association of Conservation District’s Outstanding Conservation Farmers of the Year. We love it,” Margaret says.Ī willingness to reach out to the local farming community for advice helped them excel. “The hardest day on the farm is the best day you’ll have all week. The labor of love soon filled early hours prior to work and long hours after. They cleared pastures, built fence, erected buildings, started gardening and added a few chickens. Our fun was going to the farm at the end of the day and working with the land and animals,” Margaret says. Since, they’ve carved a peaceful, diversified farm retreat from the once sticker bush overgrown, untended, undeveloped tract nestled in the trees. “Then they’d ask what I know about farming. “When asked if I was putting up a Walmart, I’d just say, ‘No sir. Jon and Margaret, however, had much grander plans for the life savings and retirement fund-clearing purchase. With quick access to major thoroughfares and near enough to a certain stadium to hear “Roll Tide!!” cheered on game day, a mega store made sense. Walmart, was the community rumor mill consensus when Jon Fleenor, a commercial builder, and his wife, Margaret Purcell, purchased 640 acres just outside Tuscaloosa, Alabama, city limits. ![]() |
