What is Adobe Photoshop?

                                                 

For this semester, we have to learn about Adobe Photoshop. Now, Photoshop is a graphical editing program which allows users to create and manipulate an image.

Advantages of using Photoshop are:-
- Good for doing color correction
- Best image editor on the market today
- Can be used for digital drawing/painting
- Easily undo any thing you don't like about it
- Whatever you can create in your mind, you can create it in Photoshop

I've been using Photoshop since secondary school because I felt in love with digital art and always wanted to do digital painting. I started of with Photoshop CS. Currently, I've just installed Photoshop CS5 Extended version because so far it doesn't crash, better tools and newer tools for ease of digital painting.

Festival "Nyepi"

                                                                          "NYEPI"

                        

Balinese calendars, with illustrations for each day indicating what activities that day is auspicious for, are popular souvenirs. Apart from the everyday Western calendar, the Balinese also use two local calendars, the saka and the wuku calendar. The wuku calendar is used to determine festival dates. The calendar uses 10 different weeks, each from one to 10 days and all running simultaneously. Hindu saka calendar is a lunar cycle that more closely follows our own year in terms of the length of the year.Nyepi is a major festival of the saka year, it's the last day of the year, the day after the new moon on the ninth month.

The Nyepi celebrations start on the day of the  Dead Moon, when "Tawur Agung Kesanga" (Great Sacrificial Ceremony) rituals' are held in welcoming the "Nyepi" holiday. The ritual will be followed by procession of "Ogoh-Ogoh" (huge monster dolls) symbolizing evil spirits along the village and city roads in the evening.

The Nyepi Festival Participants (Bali)

"Nyepi" Day is a  Holiday and a day of absolute silence through out the island when no activity takes place, no traffic is seen anywhere, no fire is lit. It's the day of self-introspection for Hindhu followers - the evil spirits are tricked into thinking that the entire island is deserted and therefore go away. On this day you will not be permitted to leave your hotel - most hotels and resorts will operate with reduced staff and some services may be affected such as room service, limited restaurant hours. The airport is also officially closed.
Nyepi Day like certain major temples festivals are determined by the saka rather than the wuku calendar. This makes the actual date difficult to determine from our calendar since the lunar saka does not follow a fixed number of days like the wuku calendar. The full moons around the end of September to the beginning of October or from early to mid-April are often the times for important
temple festivals.
