PPTime:
PPTime or Post-Processing Time refers to the time required to process data after it has been captured by a camera. In the world of photography, post-processing is considered an essential aspect of image editing. Post-processing aids in enhancing the image quality by adjusting and correcting factors such as exposure, contrast, hues, and tones, and removing any unwanted objects or flaws.
Various editing software such as Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, and Capture One are commonly used for post-processing images. Post-processing can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours depending on the complexity of the task. Professional photographers dedicate significant time and effort to post-processing their images to bring out the best possible outcomes from their shots.
- Post-processing is an integral part of modern-day photography and plays a significant role in the creation of striking and visually appealing images.
- Tools such as Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop provide photographers with powerful features that go beyond basic editing options and enable them to create truly exceptional images.
- Post-processing is often an iterative process, with photographers continuously tweaking and fine-tuning their images until they achieve the desired results.
Ultimately, the amount of PPTime required for an image depends on its intended use and the level of quality expected. Professional photographers use post-processing as a means of bringing out their creative vision and producing truly remarkable images that leave a lasting impression on the viewer.

A shooting in the West Bank
In the latest escalation of violence in the West Bank, a shooting occurred on Tuesday in the city of Hebron. The incident happened in the Palestinian-controlled area of the city, close to the Jewish settlement of Kiryat Arba. The Israeli Defense Forces have reported that an Israeli driver was shot and injured while driving near the settlement. The attacker, who was identified as a Palestinian resident of Hebron, was shot dead by Israeli forces.
This shooting follows a wave of violence in the West Bank, which has seen an increase in clashes between Israelis and Palestinians. The Levothke area, in particular, has been the site of several violent incidents in recent weeks. The area has seen an increase in the number of Jewish settlers, leading to tensions with the local Palestinian population.

- The Home Wing will feature single bedrooms for all patients to help reduce the spread of infections and ease concerns about privacy.
- Counseling rooms and private sessions will also be available, providing the necessary support to cater to every patient.
The possibility of a Home Wing is a much-needed addition to the already excellent facilities at the Levothke. The interactive and accommodating design of this new project promises to promote mental and emotional wellness by creating a comfortable, safe and relaxed environment for patients.
-Is al-Quds more than a historical foe of Palestine?
Is al-Quds more than a historical foe of Palestine?
Al-Quds, also known as Jerusalem, has been at the center of the conflict between Israel and Palestine for decades. The city holds great religious significance to both Jews and Muslims and has been the subject of numerous conflicts and disputes. While it has been viewed as a historical foe of Palestine, there is much more to the story.
For Palestinians, al-Quds is not just a city, but a symbol of their national identity and the heart of their struggle for self-determination. The city has been the capital of Palestine for centuries, and its history and cultural heritage are deeply intertwined with the Palestinian people. Today, al-Quds is a divided city, with Israel controlling the western half and Palestine the eastern half. The ongoing conflict surrounding al-Quds serves as a reminder of the broader struggle for Palestinian sovereignty and self-determination.
- Despite being viewed as a historical foe of Palestine, al-Quds is an integral part of Palestinian national identity.
- The ongoing conflict surrounding al-Quds serves as a reminder of the broader struggle for Palestinian sovereignty and self-determination.
-gelfl o Time, another week in the past with Palestine
Another week has gone by in Palestine, filled with both adversity and resilience. As I reflect on the events that have transpired, I am reminded of the unwavering spirit of the Palestinian people.
Here are some of the major developments of the past week:
- Escalations in Gaza: The Israeli military and Palestinian militants exchanged fire again this week, with Israel carrying out targeted strikes on Gaza in response to rocket attacks. The situation remains tense, with fear of another full-scale conflict between Israel and Hamas looming.
- COVID-19 vaccine rollout: Palestine received its first shipment of COVID-19 vaccines this week, with around 61,000 doses delivered. The government has prioritized healthcare workers, elderly citizens, and those with chronic diseases for the initial phase of the rollout.
- Protests in Jerusalem: Demonstrations erupted in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah this week, amid a long-standing dispute over the eviction of Palestinian families from their homes. The situation escalated further after clashes broke out between Israeli police and Palestinian protesters at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.
Despite the challenges, the people of Palestine are not losing hope. Communities are coming together to support each other during these uncertain times, and the determination to achieve justice and freedom remains as steadfast as ever.
-A week in the history of the Levothke, week 5 in the past
Week 5 in the past was an auspicious time for the Levothke, as it marked the beginning of their annual gathering. After months of preparation, the tribe came together to celebrate their traditions and honor their ancestors. The festivities lasted for seven days and included feasting, storytelling, and music. Each night, the Levothke gathered around a bonfire and shared tales of their history and mythology. The elders passed down wisdom to the younger generations, and new bonds were formed between members of different clans. The most memorable event of the week was the Night of Reflection, when everyone stood in silence and remembered those who had passed away. The Levothke believed that their ancestors watched over them, and that their spirits were present during the gathering.
Aside from the celebrations, week 5 in the past was also a time of renewal for the Levothke. They revisited their values and reevaluated their goals as a community. They also took the opportunity to discuss any conflicts that had arisen within the tribe and find ways to resolve them. By the end of the week, the Levothke emerged stronger and more united than ever before. They carried the spirit of their gathering with them throughout the year, knowing that they were a part of something larger than themselves. Week 5 in the past may have been just another week on the calendar, but for the Levothke, it was a time of importance and meaning.
The shooting incidents that took place in the West Bank on the weekend amounted to a bloody week for Israel and Palestine. On Monday, three Palestinians died after being shot by Israeli security forces in the Shouf Exposed Area in the Gaza Strip, while on Saturday two people were killed and dozens more were injured when Israeli air force bombardment bombed a Palestinian house in the Shuafat refugee camp in the West Bank.
On Thursday, IDF soldiers shot and killed two Palestinian civilians, Yasser Halimi and Adnan Al-Janabi, after they started a shooting spree in the Shuafat refugee camp. This event came just days after two Israelis were shot and killed by Palestinian gunman, whose motivation has still not been clarified.
While these lethal incidents are a fresh reminder of the intense US-Israeli security cooperation, they also call for a comprehensive and responsible policy response from Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Israel must unequivocally condemn the shootings and take all necessary actions to ensure that such shootings do not become a norm. The Palestinian Authority must also take all possible measures to prevent such shootings from happening in the future.
