Inspired by another brilliant idea and want to quickly bring it to life with the help of a camera? If you are just starting your journey in photography, don’t rush! First, learn the basics of this art. In this article we will tell you what problems beginner photographers most often encounter. You will also learn how to process photos in the PhotoMASTER editor and get rid of most defects.
Mistake #1. Incorrect frame composition
Having studied the rules for constructing frame composition, you will know that placing the subject strictly in the middle will make any photo boring and lifeless. To get a dynamic and interesting photo, mentally divide the future frame into 9 parts. Place everything important next to the lines or at the intersection points:
Have you already taken a photo and forgotten about the rules of composition? All is not lost yet! Our “PhotoMASTER” will quickly correct the situation. Use the crop function. Turn on the grid, and then adjust the size and position of the frame over the photo. Click “Apply” and all changes will be saved.
Mistake #2. The horizon is littered
You can see this defect even with the naked eye. The horizon line in the photograph does not run parallel to the bottom and top borders of the frame, but goes up or down:
To correct the horizon, go to Composition > Geometry. Check the boxes next to “Crop automatically” and “Show grid”. On the Rotate scale, straighten the photo. If necessary, adjust the “Vertical” and “Horizontal” parameters.
Mistake #3. Lighting problems
Shooting against the sun, an unadjusted camera, a disabled flash in the dark... All this leads to one thing - problems with exposure. The photo becomes too overexposed or dark:
Photo processing will help solve the problem. In “PhotoMASTER” and adjust the tone of the photo. Move the slider to the right on the Exposure scale to lighten the photo, and to the left to darken it. If necessary, adjust the dark and light tones in the photo, as well as shadows and overly highlighted areas.
Mistake #4. Red eye effect
A similar defect occurs due to the use of flash. But you can try to prevent it from appearing in the photo in advance: to do this, ask the “model” not to look directly into the lens when shooting.
You can get rid of red eyes using a corrector. You will find it in the “Retouching” section. Set up a brush and select one of the problematic pupils. Turn down the saturation and experiment with tone. Then edit the second eye in the same way and evaluate the result in the preview window.
Mistake #5. Blurred photo
If the photographer is in a hurry to press the shutter button while shooting, the camera will not have time to focus. When viewing a photo on your PC screen, you will notice that the photo has become blurry:
The problem can be corrected in the editor in several ways. For example, if the entire photo requires adjustments, then in the “Enhancements” section, go to the “Sharpness” tab and select the optimal parameters for the image by adjusting the strength, radius and sharpening threshold.
If you only need to improve a fragment, then use the adjustment brush (Retouch > Corrector). Highlight the area that needs to be corrected. Then click on the “Sharpness” button and adjust the clarity of the area.
Mistake #6. Extra objects in the frame
Captured a landscape, but a shadow got into the frame? Portrait photographs Are you spoiled by acne, peeling and redness on your skin? Don't rush to delete pictures! Use the Stamp tool. With it you can remove all unnecessary elements, and much more. For example, in this photo we got rid of the shadow:
Adjust the brush settings and select the element in the photo that you want to mask. Then specify the location where the editor needs to copy pixels to fill the selected area. Ready!
Mistake #7. Geometric photo distortion
Another problem that beginner photographers often encounter. Such defects arise due to shooting objects, buildings or people from a lower or upper angle, and sometimes simply due to lens errors. This leads to the appearance of “falling buildings”, distortion of figures and other unpleasant consequences.
Alas, not all geometric distortion can be corrected. But it's always worth a try! In the PhotoMASTER program, go to the Composition > Geometry menu. Turn on the grid and try to straighten the photo using the Distortion, Horizontal, and Vertical scales.
Let's sum it up
We've looked at the most popular mistakes that novice photographers make, which means you can avoid them. If unsuccessful shots still take you by surprise, it doesn’t matter! After all, you know how to process photos correctly. Install “PhotoMASTER” on your PC and say goodbye to bad photos forever!
Hi guys. Vasily Blinov is in touch and in this article we will talk about video editing programs. For those who have never worked with video editors or tried to edit videos, this article may seem a little complicated, but useful. I will try, as usual, to explain in simple words.
I understand that everyone has different tasks, some need to professionally learn how to work with video editing programs in order to make videos for YouTube and make money from it, while others just need to edit a short video from photos for a friend’s birthday.
Therefore, today we will look at all types of such programs for video editing and processing, see which ones are the best and where a novice video editor should start. Let's find out what free programs there are and where to download them. We will also touch on applications for mobile devices, you never know who will want to learn how to edit directly from their phone.
What program do I use and why?
A little background on how I chose the program. When I first arrived, I needed a simple program for filming video tutorials and minor editing (trimming excess). I did the lessons purely for myself and my clients.
Here I came to the rescue on the advice of a friend Camtasia Studio and Camtasia Recorder. Overall quite good tool, with whom I worked for the first time. Then I decided to change the program for recording video from the screen.
The reason was due to more advanced functions and capabilities. Immediately I thought that I needed to immediately learn how to work in a more professional video editor. Why waste time busting your lungs? simple programs. According to surveys of friends involved in video editing, the TOP 3 in popularity of the program on a computer with Windows were identified:
- Premiere Pro
- Edius Pro
For some reason, the choice immediately fell on Vegas, but when I started working with it, a number of problems emerged. Either the video file format in which I record does not support, then I need to install a number of additional codecs, then the sound is out of sync, it is necessary to convert to another format, and during conversion the quality is lost. In general, a week later I switched to the software of the well-known company Adobe, their editing program Premiere Pro.
On this moment it satisfies all my needs, I’ve been used to working with it for a long time, the only thing is that I need a slightly more powerful computer.
If you are a beginner, but are determined to work with video processing all the time, then I advise you to immediately choose a professional program, learn and get used to it. The principle of operation of all programs is almost the same, the interface and functions are, one might say, similar.
I believe anyone can learn to work in them, with limitless information on the Internet. Most The best way learning is looking for a solution when a problem arises. What does it mean?
You take it and immediately start editing, and if something doesn’t work out, you turn to Yandex or Google with your problem. The main thing is to ask the right question in the search. That’s how I studied, found answers to all the questions, and you don’t need to sit and study step-by-step courses with a bunch of unnecessary information before you start editing.
Only with gradual practice will there be growth and different effects will you learn how to do, and editing will become more interesting.
Accordingly, all good programs are not free. I understand that for most people, especially those just starting out, paying for them will be difficult and pointless, since you are not sure whether you will continue to do this or not.
I don’t advise, of course, to look for cracked versions of programs and download them through some torrent. But, it seems to me, everyone did this at first, then, when you use it constantly, you buy it.

Conclusion
In this article I have listed all the most best programs and applications you may need for video editing and processing. I recommend that if you are committed to creating video content on a regular basis, you should immediately choose a professional program.
A little later, we will try to record basic lessons for you on the most popular programs: how to create and configure a project, basic editing functions, rendering settings, etc.
If you still have any questions, or you can’t decide what to choose, then write in the comments. That's all for today, I wish you all success and good luck.
When reading articles about Photoshop, I am often surprised at how many authors complicate the solution of essentially simple processing tasks. Many “monumental” writers suffer from this, such as Dan Margulies. But this can be forgiven for him - his task is to write about all the subtleties and nuances of the processing process, to consider it from all angles and sides. Although it is precisely this feature of the presentation of material in his books that repels many readers.
In fact, the roots of such methods of “sharpening in 40 steps” grow from a very simple thing - the people who write these tutorials have never worked with a large volume of photographs. That is, as a rule, they have a couple of photographs and are ready to spend an evening or two in the process of processing them. But when you have constant orders, and from each photo shoot you need to seriously edit several dozen frames, you begin to think about simpler and convenient ways processing.
We'll talk about them today. I'll tell you about five simple but very effective Photoshop tools, which I constantly use in my work.
Before processing photos in Photoshop, I always work with the frames in a RAW converter first. This is where I do the main color correction and primary processing photographs. Essentially, I create a “skeleton” of processing, and in Photoshop I work with the details of the photo.
So, we have worked with the photo in the RAW converter and open it in Photoshop. Photoshop greets us with a huge number of processing tools for all occasions. But we will talk about the simplest and most effective of them.
The main function of the Dodge Tool/Burn Tool is to lighten/darken individual areas of the image. Essentially, you can “draw” darkness or vice versa – lighten the photo. It's very simple, try it: I'm sure you'll appreciate this tool. Dodge/Burn Tool has only two, but very important settings.
Range — Select the application area
You can use this tool on the dark (Shadows), light (Highlights) or neutral (Midtones) areas of the photo. For example, you need to lighten the dark areas of the chin (when processing a portrait), and leave the light areas untouched. In this case, we set the Shadows mode in the Dodge Tool, and it will only lighten the dark areas of the places where we apply it.
Exposure - force of impact
It is very important to set the impact force correctly. Many people, when experimenting with Photoshop, try Dodge/Burn 100%. And by darkening the image, you get black “holes,” and by brightening it, you get complete overexposure. Of course, having received such a result, they no longer return to this tool. But Dodge/Burn is thin instrument. If you are working on shadows or highlights, try an application force of 7-10%, if with neutral areas - 10-20%. For each case, the force of influence is selected separately, but after working a little with this tool, you will begin to feel what kind of power is needed in each specific case.
Usage
Dodge/Burn has many uses:
- Brighten your iris
Just apply the Dodge Tool to the iris - this is the easiest way to brighten it. Thus, you focus the viewer’s attention on the model’s eyes.
In all these portraits, I highlighted the iris of the eyes precisely in order to draw the viewer’s attention to the eyes and add psychology to the frame.
- Darken the lines of the face shape in a man's portrait
Cheekbones, jawline, nose line, eyebrows - any facial lines, if darkened a little, will acquire greater volume and contrast. The man in the photo will look tougher and stronger-willed.
I use this technique when processing almost all male B/W portraits. This technique is not always suitable for color, as it “destroys” the colors, but on a B/W picture it works just fine.
In a female portrait, this technique must be used very carefully, since a woman will only be adorned by emphasizing those facial lines that give her femininity. Otherwise, you will get a portrait of a masculine creature.
- Brighten backlit areas
Backlight in itself is a wonderful thing. But if you use the Dodge Tool to enhance its effect, the picture will become even better. This looks especially great in concert photographs, when the musicians are illuminated by good backlight.
- Whiten your models' teeth
Using the Dodge Tool is the easiest and most effective way to whiten teeth in a photograph. A little later I will definitely write a separate lesson about proper teeth whitening using the Dogde Tool.
2. Clone Stamp
There are several tools for retouching images in Photoshop, and each of them is good in its own way. But “Stamp” is the most versatile tool to use.
Its function is to take a certain area of the image and copy it. Thus, we can, for example, retouch wrinkles - simply “replacing” them with areas of smooth skin. To do this, press Alt and select the area from which the image will be taken, and then, simply by clicking on the desired areas of the image, we will copy it to them.
In stamp settings, it is important to pay attention to two parameters:
Mode
These are the modes in which the stamp will operate. For example, in Darken mode, the stamp will only “replace” lighter areas than the selected area. Essentially, you can darken the light areas of the image, which is why the name of the mode is Darken. And, accordingly, in the Lighten mode, the stamp will only work on the darker areas of the image, brightening them.
Clone Stamp has many modes of operation - experiment with them, I'm sure you will get interesting results.
In my opinion, it makes no sense to describe the operation of each mode - in Photoshop, essentially the same principles of operation of the modes apply to all tools, only changing slightly to suit the specifics of a particular tool.
Opacity means opacity. Simply put, the lower the percentage you set in this setting, the more transparent the “work” of the stamp will be. For example, at 100% the stamp will completely replace the selected area, and at 50% it will be translucent. For face retouching, as a rule, 10-30% is used, otherwise the stamp mark will be too clearly visible.
Using Clone Stamp
- Retouch
Retouching in all its manifestations is the main purpose of the stamp. First of all, the stamp is used for skin retouching - removing wrinkles, dark circles under the eyes, swelling and other beautiful creations of Mother Nature.
You can also retouch, for example, an unwanted object in the frame. Unless, of course, it takes up half of the photo.
It is very convenient to use a stamp to eliminate small overexposures. For example, your model has a small spot of overexposure on the tip of her nose. We take the stamp, set the Darken mode and in a couple of clicks we darken this spot.
3. History Brush
History Brush is a time machine for photo processing. You can take any stage of processing and use a brush to paint from it according to your image.
History Brush is fraught with enormous possibilities. I have already written in detail about the operation of this tool in a separate article. In it you will find detailed lesson on using history brush and learn how to sharpen only the areas of the image you need.
Of course, increasing sharpness is not the only area of its application. In future articles, I will tell you how to work with color in a photograph using the History Brush.
4.Black&White
The Black&White tool is located in the Image—>Adjustments tab. Or you can simply create an Adjustment layer on the photo.
The main function of the Black&White tool is the “correct” conversion of a color image into black and white. Correct because you can change the black and white display of each of the colors. This way you can get a beautiful and “tasty” b/w picture.
But the functionality of B&W is not limited to this.
Using this tool you can get a very interesting and colorful picture. Let's apply B&W to our image, and then turn on the layer mode Overlay.
Now, by manipulating the B&W controls and layer transparency, we can get a very interesting picture. For greater clarity, I set the Opacity of the layer with B&W to quite high - 62% and turned the Greens, Cyans, Blues and Magentas levers to maximum.
As we can see, the picture immediately became richer and more contrasting (click on the picture to enlarge).
Now let's pay attention to the tick Tint. By turning it on, we can tint the image in the color we need.
Usage
There are a lot of options for using B&W both when working with color and when processing B&W.
In one of the following articles, using the example of processing several photographs, I will talk about all the main nuances of working with Black&White.
5.Shadow/Highlights
Shadow/Highlights is also located in the Image—>Adjustments tab (by the way, there are a lot of interesting tools there, I advise you to experiment with them all)
This tool is designed to darken highlights and pull highlights out of shadows. In addition to the most obvious use - eliminating overexposure and underexposure, S/H also works great for creating a feeling of greater depth in the picture. We can add dark undertones to light areas, and light tones to dark areas. Thus, the picture will become more voluminous and deep.
For example, in this photo using S/H I added volume to the puppy’s fur and the picture immediately became more interesting.
In fact, Shadow/Highlights is an absolutely indispensable tool for any serious editing. Almost any photo can be made better if you use S/H wisely.
I would like to talk about all the S/H settings and its functionality, but this is really a topic for a separate article. In the future, I will definitely return to the Shadow/Highlights topic, but for now just try to experiment - try different settings and see the result. In my experience, this method is the most effective for learning new things.
As we can see, all these tools are very easy to use, but at the same time incredibly effective. Try experimenting with them and you will feel how many possibilities they provide when processing.
I think it’s worth making a series of articles about simple but very effective tools in Photoshop. And in the next article I will talk about tools for serious work with color in photography.
Hi all! Today I want to tell you how to process photos in Photoshop for beginners or those who have just recently started learning this wonderful editor. It's no secret that sometimes photographs turn out, to put it mildly, not what we expected them to be. Either they are too dull, or too bright, there are a lot of pimples, or the sharpness is not best quality. Therefore, today I will try to tell you in an accessible language how to fix this.
Eliminate skin defects
First of all, I recommend looking at people, if there are any in the photo. The first thing that is important during processing is identifying defects. In this situation, I mean acne, scars, herpes (God forbid), from a flare-up, scratches, hair coming out, bruises, etc.
I don’t see much point in writing in detail about this, since I have a separate article for each case. I would just like to list a few tools that usually help eliminate defects.
- Patch. Select this tool and select the problem area of the skin with it, then drag it to a healthy area by holding down the left mouse button.
- Healing Brush - Before using the tool, you need to select the donor area by holding down the alt button. And then you will need to paint over all pimples, blackheads, etc.
- Precision healing brush. This tool is also intended for covering up defects, but differs from its “brother” in that there is no need to select the donor area. It takes information from neighboring areas.
I described all these methods in the article about . You will see for yourself that it is not difficult.
Applying the Camera RAW filter: processing a photo in a minute
This method is insanely simple. Many photographers use the filter. I would even say it differently. They initially shoot in the format CR2, which is essentially higher quality. After that, when you go into Photoshop, this filter is automatically turned on.
But in fact, there is no problem, since starting with the version of Photoshop CS5, filters have been replenished with a new brother. I hope everyone has been using a more advanced version of the editor for a long time.
Main Feature this method is that absolutely anyone can handle it, even a beginner and a complete zero, since everything happens only in one single filter, which only intuitively needs to be adjusted a little. Let's take this photo as an example.
By looking at the stories first, you can see for yourself what wonderful changes have occurred in photography. In my opinion, simply excellent.
Using the Adjustment Menu on a Single Layer
This method of processing photos in Photoshop is quite crude, but for beginners it will do just fine.
Now you can compare the changes. They may not be particularly large, but the processed photo clearly looks better. Of course, the absolute disadvantage of this method is that you cannot return to the previous step and edit it. But there is a way to do this, and I will talk about it below. Well, in general, look at the other functions yourself and twist the sliders. Perhaps you will find something interesting for yourself.
Processing a photo using adjustment layers
This method of processing photos in Photoshop may seem difficult for beginners at first glance, but in fact it is very simple, and any user can handle it.
Adjustment Layers
An excellent photo processing function that does not require any special skills. The essence of this method is that we apply each function on a separate adjustment layer, of which we can have a great variety. And in fact, it is much more convenient than the method we did above.
For example, I took a photo of a girl in rather faded colors. She herself begs to be made brighter, richer and simply delight the soul.
This completes the work with adjustment layers, but we have to move on.
Selecting an area
Now we have to work with some areas separately, since applying effects to the entire image at once will not end well. For example, we need to make the sky brighter, more saturated and bluer, and if we apply everything to one photo, then our girl will also apply everything to herself. Therefore, let's do the following.
- Select a girl with any of the . I will use , as I think it will work great here. We begin to highlight the girl. Don’t be too keen on accuracy, but the main thing is that the whole body is captured, or rather its naked parts and face.
- Now, be sure to make sure that you are on the background layer with the girl, then click right click mouse inside the selection and select "Copy to new layer".
- After this, the cut out girl will appear on a new layer, which is higher than the background one. Your task is to place it above all others so that adjustment layers do not affect it. To do this, hold down the button on the new layer and drag it above the rest.
- Now go back to the background layer and start selecting the sky. In this case, I decided to use the function. Select a brush, and then click on the quick mask button itself, then start painting over the entire sky, remembering to change the brush size to get into more difficult to reach places.
- After that, click on the quick mask again to deselect it. Next we'll need to invert the selection so that we're working with the sky and not what's around it. To do this, press the key combination SHIFT+CTRL+I.
- Next, you will need to add some saturation. To do this, without removing the selection, press the key combination CTRL+U, then move the “Saturation” slider a couple of tens of units to the right. You can also play with the brightness until you reach the most interesting shade.
- Now let's get back to the girl. It was not for nothing that we endured it. Since we moved it from under the adjustment layers, it again became pale, as it originally looked. But if this is not done, then on the contrary, she will be too dark. And now we can find the right balance. To do this, our copy of the girl needs to reduce the opacity until you think it’s enough. In my case, 33 percent is enough.
Bottom line
Having studied several in various ways, I came to the conclusion that if you want to do fast and high-quality processing, then it will be enough to use Camera filter RAW in Photoshop. It showed itself to be excellent, and the time it takes to process a photo, even for novice users, actually takes 1-2 minutes.
The only thing I wouldn’t recommend is creating an action for this and letting the photos change in a continuous process. Even if the pictures were taken by one photographer on the same day, the settings that you made for one picture may not be suitable for them. I know that many unscrupulous wedding photographers do exactly this to save time. You see, they don’t want to process 300-400 photos one at a time.
But if you really want to engage in high-quality photo processing, because you are drawn to it, then I highly recommend checking out these cool video tutorials, which clearly explains how to use Photoshop for awesome photo processing.
And if you are new to Photoshop, then the first thing I recommend is to study this course. Everything is chewed literally down to the smallest detail and looks simply in one breath. . And the main thing is that everything is told in human language, so you don’t even want to be distracted.
As you can see, there is nothing complicated. Therefore, no one should have any questions about how to process photos in Photoshop for beginners. At least I am sure that these tools will be enough for you.
Well, this is where I end my article. I hope you liked it. Don't forget to subscribe to my blog updates, and also follow the news in my public pages. Good luck to you. Bye bye!

External processing is a very convenient tool for companies using standard configurations on 1C:Enterprise 8.3. They allow you not to waste effort and money on 1C updates, making it possible to update databases with one button in simple user mode. Using the standard subsystem library mechanism, you can add various buttons to documents and reference books without changing the standard configuration. Let's consider an example of creating and connecting external processing in one of the 1C configurations.
We create external processing in 1C 8.3
To create a new external processing, we use the configurator. Through the “File” menu, select the creation command “New...” and determine that we will create external processing. In the window that opens, set the name, and when you press “Enter,” it is filled in automatically. The system will also offer you this name as the file name when saving.
Let's add a processing form by clicking on the button with a magnifying glass in the corresponding window. For example, let's create a processing showing which customer orders use a certain item. To do this, we need to place on the form:
- Attributes – field for setting the nomenclature;
- A button that will call the code.
Add the “Nomenclature” attribute with the data type “DirectoryLink.Nomenclature” in the corresponding section and the “Show” button in the “Commands” -> “Form Commands” menu.
In order for the added data to be reflected on the form, you must drag it into the form elements located in the upper left part. It is possible to swap elements using the blue arrows. In order for the button we created to do what it intended, it needs to be assigned a procedure. Through context menu Let’s select “Command Action”, and when asked where the handler is needed, we will answer: “Create on the client and a procedure on the server.”
Fragment 1
&OnClient Procedure Show(Command) ShowOnServer(); End of Procedure &OnServer Procedure ShowOnServer() //Insert the contents of the handler. End of ProcedureWe chose to create a procedure on the server because we want to receive a sample from the database as a result. We do not have this option on the client, so we will need to connect to the server, which exchanges data with the database. Now we need to write code that implements what we have planned. The request and output of all documents through the “Report()” function will be used.

But if we have many users, we will have to send this file to them all, providing them with instructions on how to actually open it in 1C, which is extremely inconvenient. To avoid this, our processing should be located inside one of the 1C sections. To do this, we need to modify it a little more through the configurator, specifying certain settings.
To place external processing in section 1C, it is necessary to register the procedure “Information ABOUT External Processing” in the object module. From the main processing menu, click Actions and select Object Module. Here you need to register all the settings necessary for 1C so that the system understands what is required of it and what kind of file is in front of it. The screenshot shows the code for the “Information ABOUT External Processing” function.
Function InformationOnExternalProcessing() Export DataForReg = New Structure(); DataForReg.Insert("Name","New external processing"); DataForReg.Insert("SafeMode", True); DataForReg.Insert("Version", "ver.: 1.001"); DataForReg.Insert("View", "AdditionalProcessing"); CommandTable = NewValueTable; TabZnCommands.Columns.Add("Identifier"); TabZnCommands.Columns.Add("Usage"); TabZnCommands.Columns.Add("View"); NewRow = TabZnCommands.Add(); NewString.Identifier = "NewExternalProcessing"; NewRow.Use = "OpenForm"; NewRow.View = "New external processing"; DataForReg.Insert("Commands", TabZnCommands); Return DataForReg; EndFunctionFragment 3
Connecting external processing in 1C
Before connecting external processing to a standard configuration, you must enable the use of this tool. In “Administration” in the subsection “ Printable forms, reports and processing” we set the flag opposite the mechanism we need. A button for going to the directory of additional processing and reports becomes available to us.
When we go to the list, we will create a new line in it, and the system will prompt you to select a file. We select the processing we made and saved, and the 1C configuration independently fills in most of the fields. Using the “Run” button, we can already check the functionality of our processing, but this is not very convenient for other users. In order for users to have our command and be able to make a call, we need to:
- Specify the location of the object. By clicking on “Undefined” we open the sections window and indicate in which sections the operation will be available;
- Select users who have this command will appear in the “Additional processing” menu of the selected sections without unnecessary settings. To do this, in the table section you need to select the item “ Fast access"and add responsible users to the right half;
- On the " Additional Information» you can specify the folder in which the downloaded processing will be located;
- After pressing the “Write” button in the selected section in the “Additional Processing” menu, users will find our command and will be able to use it.
If we want to make changes to our processing, we must first unload it from the database. To do this, find the required line in the “Additional processing and reports” directory and use the “Upload to file...” command. Make changes, save the processing and use the “Load from file...” button to find the modified epf file without changing the parameters. After recording, all users will see the changes made.
If you are using a non-standard or discontinued 1C database, then take advantage of the opportunity to download processing through the configurator. In the object tree, in the “Processings” section, create a new processing and, through the context menu, select “Replace with external processing, report...”. All that remains is to configure the launch of external processing from the desired section, including the added processing in the desired subsystem.
Work with external treatments It is very convenient and allows you to avoid many conflicts. Their only significant drawback is that they are not updated automatically along with the configuration. That is, if the developers changed the name of the document or reference book in the main configuration, we will have to manually configure the processing.
