How To Prevent Your Computer From Being Slow

One of the most common complaints that we hear from PC users is the

slowness of their PCs. You must have had the same problem with your

computer some time or the other. And generally the answer we get to

this problem is that perhaps you have stored way too many files and

documents on your personal computer, which makes it slow down

gradually. This is indeed a valid explanation for a slow computer;

however it is not the only reason for a slow computer. Other than this

something very vital which you need to look into is the registry of

the computer.

The registry or the registry files in the computer keeps stock of

everything-information and settings of all the software, operating

system software, hardware and every single file and functions running

on the computer system. The registry files have to be maintained in

proper order; otherwise once any of the files go awry, the computer

faces problems in functioning smoothly and might even hang up. The

computer requires starting up any particular software by looking into

the registry files. In case the registry file is absent or not in its

proper shape, the computer is liable to stop running the given

software. This in turn slows down the computer generally. The slow

computer is unable to do anything with the software. In such a

situation there is the possibility of the computer hanging or getting

locked up. This is where you need to take care that the registry files

are in working order, or fixed properly when the need be.

The basic thing you need to have in order to fix your registry files

is registry repair software. You can get the very best standardized

registry repair software and use it on your personal computer. The

registry repair software is imperative for such a situation; you

cannot repair the damaged registry files otherwise. Using the registry

repair software helps because it points out the number of files that

are corrupted and need to be repaired. Then you can give command to

the registry repair software to fix each and every registry file and

restore them to their original configuration. The entire process is

surprisingly simple, and can be done in only a matter of minutes. And

because it is a relatively simple process you can check your registry

files from time to time. For instance if you use the registry repair

software once a week it is enough to ensure that the registry files

are in proper shape.

A slow computer is a very common malaise in computer systems. As

mentioned earlier, storing an excessive amount of files and folders

may also cause your computer to operate slowly. In such cases we find

that the speed of the computer decreases; a file or folder might take

more time in opening than it earlier used to or your CD writer might

take an unusually long time in writing material to a blank CD. But you

should not forget the importance of registry files and how you can

keep them in perfect order with the help of the registry files repair

software.

Photo Editing Software For Mac

iPhoto is photo editing software application and the best part of it

all is that comes with your MAC. Even the pros take photos that need a

bit of extra work done on them. And Mac developers have done all their

best so that with iPhoto, editing images is as simple as taking them.

There is a whole pallete of retouching tools available at your

disposal and an array of effects to play with. When you use the Crop

tool, automatic guides help you follow the classic "rule of thirds."

Adjusting shadows and highlights in a photo is also easily done. With

separate controls, now you can lighten a face that was lost in shadow

without affecting the brighter parts of your photo. Use noise

reduction to minimize dots and speckles in low-light photos. Use edge

sharpen to create a crisper photo. And use white balance to optimize

colors with a click. The latest version is iPhoto '08 and has plenty

of new features like unified search, theme-based home printing, new

calendars and books.

GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is one of the most popular low

cost Mac photo editing software applications. It was originally

developed for UNIX, so it's an open source program with a Mac. It has

customizable brushes and patterns that add-up on its drawing

functionalities while the growing library supports more and more

filters and effects.

Apple Aperture 1.5.4 is compatible with iPhoto '08, including the

ability to import images directly from the most current version of

iPhoto and the ability to share Aperture images with other iLife '08

and iWork applications using the iLife Media Browser. Powerful,

Aperture features a RAW-focused workflow from capture to output that

makes working with RAW files as easy as JPEG. No need to convert your

RAW files before doing anything with them. Aperture automatically
