How to enable Laptop mode on Ubuntu and extend your battery life?

Its a very common issue among people who use linux on their laptop. The linux kernels are supposedly resource intensive and take lot of hard disk spins which actually drains the laptop battery at a faster rate than it should take. After a little googling I found out that the linux kernel has a laptop mode that can be enabled. Laptop mode was discouraged since Edgy 6.10 due to heard reasons of hangups found in few laptops. This mode can still be enabled by installing a package called laptop-mode-tools.

How to install laptop-mode-tools?

Step 1: You should first make sure your current version of kernel is compatible with laptop-mode-tools. Any version starting from 2.6.6 will be compatible.

Step 2: Install the package laptop-mode-tools by executing the following instruction in Terminal

sudo apt-get install laptop-mode-tools

Step 3: The installation creates a configuration file at location /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf

Step 4: Configure this file by executing

gksudo gedit /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf

The Configuration file laptop-mode.conf is pretty much self described with lot of comments. You get to configure options such as ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE_ON_AC, ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE_WHEN_LID_CLOSED etc. For more details on configuring other parameters of this file, you can refer the man pages by executing the following instruction in your terminal -

man laptop-mode.conf

Or just check out the online man page here.

Adobe photoshop lightroom-3

Photoshop lightroom 3 is Adobe’s high-end digital photography editing application. More specifically, Lightroom 3 is Adobe’s solution to Apple’s release of the Aperture 3 software

Lightroom is specifically designed for photographers, photo journalists and the extreme digital image enthusiasts. The main purpose of Lightroom is to allow users the option to organize, process and digitally enhance image files (with RAW support).

Of course, Adobe upgraded the previous version of Lightroom by adding new features and functions but they also aimed to provide a generally accessible and more intuitive user interface with Lightroom 3.

Adobe lightroom review

The Adobe Lightroom 3 interface is split into “modules”, which are designed to break up the main functions of the software. The Lightroom 3 modules or modes are categorized as follows: Library, Develop, Slideshow, Print and Web. Each module allows users to take advantage of different features, which together comprise the core functions of Lightroom’s style (“organize, develop and produce”).

Lightroom 3 is currently the most expensive professional editing software available when compared to related products in the same price range. As an initial breakdown of the review we would like to state that Lightroom 3 is the best available, and it is the only worthy solution in its product range for professionals using a PC.

The only competition for Adobe’s Lightroom 3 software, worth mentioning, is Apple's aperture 3 application which is only available to Mac OSX users. Obviously Windows 7 and PC users are deterred from using Mac software (because it’s incompatible), so the only option is something like Adobe lightroom 3. That’s not to say however, that the PC and Windows users are left out when it comes to reliable and well designed professional photo editing software.

Adobe Lightroom – Software Overview

Adobe Lightroom 3 has it all, custom organization and categorization options, photo editing and enhancement features, visually stunning slideshow support, and ofcourse individual print and web publishing options.

Lightroom 3 includes several new features that make older versions deserving of the upgrade. Those new features include a fresh RAW processing engine, photo enhancement presets (with options to socially share them), Flickr plugins (integrated upload), a unique Lens correction tool tailored to high end lenses, and increased tethering and video support.

Adobe photoshop lightroom-3

To conclude, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 is one of the best professional photo editing options on the market. With it’s quick develop functions, easy production options, and social media integration, Lightroom 3 offers more than enough for industry professionals.

The Lightroom 3 trial is available free for anyone looking to try out the software, and provides a complete 30 day access with absolutely no restrictions (complete use of the software and features are permitted).

Thank you for reading our Adobe Lightroom review. After trying it out, we feel you’ll agree the software is one of the best currently available on the market. Click here to order a copy on Amazon, which is the cheapest place we found to buy Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.
