Adobe Lightroom tutorials

February 25, 2008 in Foto, Latest News, Photo editing, Photography

I have been using Adobes Lightroom for a while. Lightroom is a good workflow application and is really good on editing RAW files. It’s quite easy to use but I have been missing a good tutorial. Until now that is. I have found creativepro.com‘s Lightroom tutorial.

Open SOurce photography

February 21, 2008 in Foto, Photo editing, Photography

I am a hobby photographer. A digital hobby photographer. One of the negative things of being of being digital is that good software often costs money and much are really expensive to. Therefore I am on the look for cheap or open source alternatives.

I just stumbled on the website Open Source Photography  that deals with open source photography software. Here’s the old site with lots of tutorials.

The site is the forum of the Flickr group  Open Source Photography (OSP).

Getting Wacom drawing tablets to work in Linux

November 8, 2007 in Design, Drawing, Foto, Linux, Photo editing, Photography

index_fig01.jpgI got a Wacom tablet for my birthday. It’s ideal for making drawings with my PC. It’s easy to setup and I get good results from what I do. Off course I am no artist so it’s nothing fancy. It’s much easier to use a tablet than to draw or retouch with the mouse.

I have gotten the tablet to work in Windows and on my Mac, but I have had trouble getting it to work well in Linux. The problem is that the drawing area on the tablet is only a small portion of the drawing in my preferred applications. The GIMP and Inkscape. I haven’t found any solutions for the problem until I read this article in Linux.com. Now it seems to be a way for me to use Linux also for drawing and retouching.

Here is one of the drawings I have made with my tablet.

Picturesque seems to be a nice program to make stylish pictures for webpublishing

Taken from the homepage of Acqualia.com.

Picturesque is an application designed to make images look gorgeous for the web.

With an animated “drag and drop” style interface, Picturesque can beautify your images with reflections, soft glows, shadows, delicate curves, strokes and fades in less time than it takes to open Photoshop.

Picturesque can also beautify a whole stack of images in batch with a single click, and includes a set of handy Automator actions.
