Just Released Some Simple JSON Encode/Decode Routines in Pure Lua
I've got a lot of Lightroom-related stuff brewing that I've been wanting to release, but have been waiting for the energy to do proper writeups before doing so. But like the Tree Publisher plugin for Lightroom I released the other day, I've decided to just release things as is rather than wait indefinitely for free time that will never happen. So, [...]

This is Getting Silly: New “Metadata Viewer” Lightroom Plugin
I really need to find a 12-step support group, or something, to help wean me off of Lightroom plugin development. I was already way behind on everything before Lightroom 3 came out, and then was inundated with email from that as I tried to get all my plugins upgraded. But then I took time out to indulge in some [...]

New Lightroom Plugin, “PhotoSafe”, Guards Selected Photos Against Accidental Deletion
It's been nothing but plugin development in the Friedl household since Lightroom 3 was released, mostly bringing my many plugins up to speed. Frankly, it's drudgery work, so I took time off to indulge in the simple pleasures of development: building something new. This new plugin, PhotoSafe, allows you to protect photos from accidental deletion from your Lightroom catalog. In my case, I [...]

Automatic Lens Correction Coming to Lightroom 3!
Sneak-preview video of a lens-correction feature that will be part of Lightroom 3: Photoshop and Lightroom Lens Correction Feature Preview The video shows ACR (Adobe Camera Raw), but the presenter (Tom Hogarty, Lightroom's product manager) makes it clear that the same functionality will be part of Lr3 as well. The ability to correct for lens distortion will be so welcome, especially for lenses [...]

Gettin’ Freaky With Lightroom Tone-Curve Presets
Gettin' Freaky Wid'it So, in my previous post, “Stupid Tone-Curve Tricks”, I presented a few odd tone-curve presets for Lightroom that were of marginal utility. In this post, I present additional presets that are even more useless, if that's at all possible. (If you're not familiar with tone curves in Lightroom 3 beta [...]

Released the Picasa Face-Recognition Plugin for Lightroom, FWIW
Just a short followup to last week's ”Giving Up on Picasa Face Recognition” post, I've gone ahead and released the Lightroom plugin I'd built before realizing the major problems plaguing Picasa's face-recognition feature. If you've invested time in Picasa's face recognition, use Lightroom, and are lucky, the plugin may be of use. Here it is:    Jeffrey’s “Picasa Face-Recognition Import” Lightroom [...]

One More Lightroom Plugin: Focal-length Sort
I've just released a new plugin, Focal-length Sort, conceptually similar to my Megapixel-sort plugin in that it fills gaps in Lightroom's Library Grid Filter that shouldn't be there in the first place. Like my Data Plot plugin, it can give you insight about how you use your lenses. This makes 19 plugins for Adobe Lightroom that I've released, all available [...]

Yet Another New Lightroom Plugin: Extended Search
Having been busy with travel and sickness and offline projects for so many months, I think the geek in me was itching to produce something new, so to add to yesterday's new plugin for Adobe Lightroom, today I add another: Extended Search. Due to Lightroom infrastructure limitations, the search interface is not as smooth as it could be, and there's [...]

New Lightroom Plugin: Focal-length Plot
Because I have so much free time (NOT!), I've turned copious amounts of it into a new plugin for Adobe Lightroom that provides the simple but useful function of telling you what focal lengths your images were shot at. It's like a stripped down version of ExposurePlot, but integrated into the Lightroom catalog. Currently the plugin does only 35mm-equivalent focal-length [...]

New Lightroom Plugin: Export-to-Photobucket
In what is almost certainly the most ridiculous thing I have ever done in my entire life, I've created an export-to-Photobucket plugin for Adobe Lightroom. I fully understand that the intersection of Photobucket users with Lightroom users is exactly the empty set, but Photobucket's API is well documented and they use a kind of authentication that I wanted to test.
