Core Image For Mac

 admin



Core Image is the new technology in Mac OS X that heavily leverages Quartz Compositor and the machine's GPU. Demonstrated at WWDC in 2004, it provides access to the most common Graphics API's. It provides the ability to edit images on the fly (which used to be handled by Quartz/Quartz Extreme) and apply dazzling effects to them. Install with Visual Studio for Mac. Visual Studio for Mac installs the.NET Core SDK when the.NET Core workload is selected. To get started with.NET Core development on macOS, see Install Visual Studio 2019 for Mac. For the latest release,.NET Core 3.1, you must use the Visual Studio for Mac 8.4. Install alongside Visual Studio Code.

Information about these and other types of Mac ports is in the specifications for your Mac: Choose Apple menu  > About This Mac, click Support, then click Specifications. Or check your Mac user guide.

Thunderbolt 3

Use Thunderbolt 3 with displays and other devices that connect using either a Thunderbolt 3 cable or USB-C cable. You can also connect a USB-C power adapter and cable to charge your notebook computer. If you have a device that doesn't connect to this port, you might be able to use an adapter to connect it.

These Mac models have Thunderbolt 3 ports:

  • MacBook Pro introduced in 2016 or later
  • MacBook Air introduced in 2018 or later
  • iMac introduced in 2017 or later
  • iMac Pro (all models)
  • Mac mini introduced in 2018
  • Mac Pro introduced in 2019


If your Mac notebook or desktop computer has more than one port like this, each port supports ThunderBolt 3 and USB-C.

USB-C

Use USB-C with displays and other devices that connect using a USB-C cable. You can also connect a USB-C power adapter and cable to charge your notebook computer. If you have a device that doesn't connect to this port, you might be able to use an adapter to connect it.

MacBook models introduced in 2015 or later have a single USB-C port. This port doesn't support Thunderbolt devices.


If your Mac has only one port like this, it's a MacBook that supports USB-C but not Thunderbolt.

Thunderbolt

Use Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 with displays and other devices that connect using a Thunderbolt cable.

These Mac models have Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 ports:

Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 are not the same as Mini DisplayPort . They have the same shape, but use different symbols on the cable and port. However, this port does support Mini DisplayPort for video output, so you can use a Mini DisplayPort cable to connect a Mini DisplayPort display.

Mini DisplayPort

Use Mini DisplayPort with displays that connect using a Mini DisplayPort cable.

These Mac models have Mini DisplayPort:

  • MacBook Pro introduced in late 2008 through 2010
  • MacBook Air introduced in late 2008 through 2010
  • Mac mini introduced in 2009 and 2010
  • iMac introduced in 2009 and 2010

I wanted to start the school year with a new clean slate by re-imaging my computers in the lab. This process involved the cloning of a computer hard drive that I customized and reinstalling it to the rest of the computers. The hard drive I cloned, or imaged, included the specific applications I wanted my students to use, specific OS settings, and numerous Chrome extensions that block inappropriate ads on the browser. Imaging your computer is also a great way to back-up your important data.

All this could not have been done with the help of Jacob in the IT department.
