I just purchased The Document Converter from the Apple App Store. So what's the purpose of this program? It seems to do exactly what Apples Preview does. To add insult to injury, the one thing that I could get to work with something I didn't want, and I would be charged monthly. Of course this is not what I want because JPEG is only bitmapped and the vector information is lost. I tried different outfit formats and finally found one that would work: PICT to JPEG. So they can't be edited in something like illustrator. However, Preview inputs PICT files and output files that are only bitmapped. There was nothing wrong with the files because they were open in Preview. But when I try to convert PICT to PDF, I got an error message. Sense PDF how's this structure I was hoping that I could change all my PICTs to PDF and keeping the file structure the same. So I would like a program that would maintain the information in its original format. This was a file format that apple created (way ahead of its time) that had a bit mapped layer and a vector layer - like PDF files.

![]() ![]() When I came on The Wolverine, he didn’t lose his powers until the last five pages of the script and then gets them back. Scott Frank: The Wolverine was very frustrating for me, because there was a different regime running the studio at the time. The fact that we had the opportunity with Logan to start something from a blank page meant in a way that I had the chance to make an original film of my own about this character, as opposed to serving the grander needs of a comic book saga. I’m not implying that we were somehow denied self-expression on The Wolverine, but the material we were adapting defined itself. We wanted to do something more final, but for me – and I think the same was true for Hugh – there was not really an interest in going back again unless there was an opportunity for greater self-expression. The Japanese saga had its own definite world and limits, in the sense that it really told a specific story about Logan in a specific circumscribed universe and an exotic locale. In that context, we wanted to find a way to do things that had never been done with the character. James Mangold: Hugh and I set a goal that if we were going to make another, that it would be the last one. ![]() After The Wolverine, what did you feel you still wanted to accomplish with the Wolverine character? Hugh Jackman as Logan/Wolverine in Logan. He is also the creator of Godless, a Western mini-series that will be released by Netflix.Ĭreative Screenwriting interviewed Mangold and Frank separately about reuniting for Wolverine’s final cinematic adventure, why the film’s R rating wasn’t just about violence, and what surprising aspect the Wolverine character has in common with music legend Johnny Cash, the subject of Mangold’s 2005 film Walk the Line. ![]() Similarly, Frank’s writing has crossed a number of cinematic genres (and thus has been featured numerous times in Creative Screenwriting), and his first novel, a crime story titled Shaker, was recently released in paperback by Vintage Crime/Black Lizard. In addition to directing a traditional Western, 2007’s 3:10 to Yuma, both his 1997 film Copland and Logan are narratives that adhere to Western sensibilities. Mangold’s films cover the spectrum of genres, yet they also cross them. Laura is being pursued by Donald Pierce (Boyd Holbrook) and a group called the Reavers, and Xavier convinces Logan to fight the good fight one last time and lead Laura to safety to a mutant haven called Eden that may not actually exist. The two aged mutants come into contact with X-23, a young mutant named Laura (Dafne Keen) whose abilities and temperament are reminiscent of Logan’s own. Logan’s mutant powers – particularly his healing – are fading, and he ekes out a living as a limo driver in Texas, while he takes care of a nearly century-old Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), whose vast mental powers are failing him. Logan is set in 2029, a time when mutants are almost entirely wiped out from existence. Later, Mangold returned to the screenplay with Scott Frank, the veteran Oscar-nominated screenwriter who co-wrote The Wolverine. After Mangold wrote an initial treatment for Logan, screenwriter Michael Green (co-writer of the upcoming Alien: Covenant and Blade Runner 2049) expanded Mangold’s treatment. One of the conditions was that Logan would indeed be the “Last Ride” for Jackman’s Wolverine. Leading Jackman through what is purported to be his final adventure in Fox’s latest X-Men movie is writer/director James Mangold, who previously directed Jackman as Logan in 2013’s The Wolverine.īefore agreeing to make Logan, longtime friends and collaborators Mangold and Jackman sought as much creative influence as they were allowed on a film that is both the third Wolverine solo movie, and also the tenth movie in Fox’s X-Men franchise. After eight previous films playing Marvel’s most famous mutant superhero, Hugh Jackman promises that Logan will be the final time that Wolverine’s iconic adamantium claws will extend from his fists. ![]() ![]() Scavenge Ruined Skies - Explore and discover the remains of our civilization.Research new ways of obtaining food, resources, new tools and more.

I’m not sure and would probably try to see if there are any other settings I can adjust to get better performance.Īnd considering that the combat system on Fallout 4 isn’t turn-based, I’m not sure if continual freezing is going to allow it to be playable. It feels like this is being caused by some I/O issues or bottleneck. And considering that the performance is similar when the game is set at and at, I’m not sure what is causing all the freezing in the game. From the video recording above, you can see that the eGPU can handle everything that is being thrown at it. I would have to really get somewhat deeper into the game before I can fully judge it. This is about 1/3 of the performance when the Valley benchmark runs natively on macOS.Īs you have seen, I’m not sure it if would be really playable. It seems that it would is at an average of 25-30fps. I ran the benchmark both at 1440p as well as the Extreme HD preset. So, I used Unigine Valley and 3DMark 11 to showcase how well Parallels handles 3D rendering with an eGPU setup. Do note that DirectX 11 is actually rather dated in the Windows world. To start, I ran a couple of popular benchmarks that was made for DirectX 11. ![]() How does Windows games really perform on a Mac with Parallels? Choosing the Games Only pre-set Automatic activation of valid license keys! Name your Windows VM Customised the VM configurations Shared folder configurations Memory configurations Display configurations Resource Limit configurations Security configurations Backup configurations Auto installation of Windows on Parallels Mac Windows installation is complete!Īs you can see, the installation of the Windows VM is a trivial and painless process. It would also ask you for the license key as Parallels can also help you activate your Windows install. You can also then customise the pre-set configurations as well. The Installation Assistant will then guide you through some configurations, such as your main use of the Windows OS to pre-set some key configurations that would work best for your use. Once Parallels Desktop is installed, you would see the Installation Assistant where you can start to install the Windows 10 VM or any other OS that you prefer. Installation of both Parallels Desktop and the Windows 10 VM is a breeze. Installing Parallels Desktop and the Windows 10 VM So when I found out that Parallels Desktop 15 and 16 had support for DirectX 11, I got quite excited. One of it is the Fallout Series, specifically Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4. That’s why I have gotten myself an eGPU upgrade.īut there are a few Windows games that I would really want to get my hands on. Thankfully, most of the games I want to play have releases for the macOS, mostly turn-based strategies like XCOM and RPGs like Divinity: Original Sin. You would also know that I game from time to time. That’s why I’ve stuck with my MacBook Pro all these while. It is the OS that is keeping me on an Apple hardware. If you’ve read some of my other blog posts here, you will know that I’m a big fan of macOS. Playing Windows games on the Mac? With Parallels? ![]() |
