![]() ![]() Based on research into how real cosmetics works, PortraitPro 15 delivers the most natural results in the industry via simple slider controls. These include realistic makeup controls, wide angle (selfie) lens distortion correction, enhanced Child Mode, advanced skin coloring, and tone correction, improved feature detection, and support for ultra-high resolution displays.įrom subtle, everyday looks to high-fashion editorial styles, PortraitPro 15 offers a full set of makeup controls, the most requested new feature. PortraitPro 15 incorporates many new features requested by photographers. PortraitPro 15’s technology, grounded in cutting-edge scientific image-processing research, allows for expanded creativity and retouching efficiency while preserving natural-looking results and ease of use. This is a major release of the professional portrait retouching software, used by many portrait and wedding photographers. Anthropics Technology Ltd just announced the launch of PortraitPro v15. And the process is not finished yet, for the basalt cliffs are still crumbling.There is a new version, you can find my review of PortraitPro 19 here. It is also worth noting that the whole island is also shot through with Palaeogene igneous dykes from the Rum volcanic centre.Īround the north of the island there is much evidence of the recent processes of sea level change and landslips that have helped shape today’s landscape. Now, it is preserved as the upstanding ridge of the Sgurr while the rest of the ignimbrite rocks have eroded away. On Eigg, the ignimbrite swamped the landscape, and filled an existing valley eroded in the older lava flows. The most recent research, published in 2013 by David Brown and Brian Bell, suggests that the formation of the Sgurr was one of the final events of the Palaeogene volcanic episode, when pyroclastic flows from a major volcanic eruption probably originating in the Skye Central Complex covered this area in a thick sequence of ignimbrite rock. The origin of the Sgurr ridge has been subject to speculation by famous geologists in the 18th and 19th centuries, including Sir Archibald Geikie. It is made of pitchstone, a form of volcanic ‘glass’, with extensive dramatic, columnar jointing structures. The Sgurr of Eigg forms a high ridge in the south of the island and makes a stunning viewpoint. These are more easily eroded than the lava flows, producing trap topography, a distinct step-like profile to many of the island’s slopes. Within the lava flows you can find evidence of gaps in the volcanic activity and the formation of iron-rich soil horizons. The lava flows now form steep cliffs around the northern part of the island, seen above Cleadale, and on the east coast. Nearby on the Singing Sands beach, eroded round quartz grains make a distinctive squeaking sound when scuffed underfoot.Ībout 60 million years ago, this area was covered by vast expanses of ‘flood-basalt’ lava flows, forming the Eigg Lava Field, which extend under the sea to the south-west of Eigg, and which also form the island of Muck. One spectacular feature of the Jurassic sedimentary rocks are enormous round concretions, hard bodies of cemented sandstone, found on the west coast. In 1844, Hugh Miller found beds containing fossil fish debris and plesiosaur bones on the north-east coast, and evidence of Jurassic reptiles living in this area is still being found today. ![]() The sediments were laid down in brackish, shallow water, in a coastal environment. They are mainly of Middle Jurassic age, with some traces of Upper Cretaceous sandstones. ![]() Protected from erosion by the later lava flows, they form the low ground in the northern part of Eigg and are best seen on a coastal walk. The oldest rocks on Eigg are sedimentary rocks formed in the Jurassic Period. ![]() Eigg is a young and dynamic island! Nearby you can find rocks that are more than 1000 million years old, but Eigg’s geology is much younger, contains evidence of one of the last-known violent volcanic eruptions in Scotland and is still being shaped by rockfalls and ongoing erosion. ![]()
