Depreciation ... due to physical causes ... [It] pertains to the physical condition of the structure -- the extent of its worn-outness. It is loss in value ordinarily brought about by the action of the elements, or by the wear and tear to which the property has been subjected, or simply as a result of the passage of time, or by all three. It is usually evidenced by decay, cracking, disrepair, structural defects, etc. For purposes of appraisal analysis, it is most common and convenient to divide physical deterioration into curable and incurable components. 3, record 1, English, - physical%20depreciation

L'effet «Relief» réalise une «empreinte» de l'image originale. Il s’agit souvent [mais pas toujours] d’un résultat tridimensionnel. En principe toutes les informations de couleurs sont perdues lors de l'utilisation de cet effet. L'empreinte peut être obtenue dans ou sur une surface. Son épaisseur peut être définie avec des nombres : des valeurs positives représentent une projection de l'empreinte vers la surface, des valeurs négatives un «moulage» dans la surface. 1, record 3, French, - effet%20relief
