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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Some of My Publish Services
in Lightroom 3
More than two years in the works, Adobe has finally released Lightroom 3.
You can download a 30-day trial from Adobe's Lightroom product page.
There are plenty of places you can find all kinds of info about what's new, including:
Victoria Bampton's “What's New in Lightroom 3” post. Victoria's what's-new [...]

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 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 [...]

The tone curve is one of the ways that Adobe Lightroom offers to

Adobe has released a second free beta for
Lightroom 3 (“Lightroom 3 Beta 2” — LR3b2)
with a lot of bug fixes and speed improvements, and a few new goodies not
found in LR2 or the first Lightroom 3 beta, including:
Basic video-file support.
Initial tethered capture support for recent Nikon and Canon SLRs.
New [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Adobe today released a public beta sneak-peek version of Lightroom 3. It's intended to show where Lightroom is
going, and to allow us to play with it so that we can provide feedback
about how we want it to get there.
It's a Beta

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]
