Search ResultsNot really, at least not completely. A couple of months ago in "Saga of Frustration: Developing (and Abandoning) a Lightroom Plugin for 500px" I vented about my horrible experience with the folks over at 500px.com, and said that I would not be developing a plugin for their service (as I have for many photo-hosting services) until they got their act together. A lively discussion followed here on my blog and on Google+. I noticed today that they finally released their long-promised plugin and I took a look. It seems that they use a bunch of my code under the hood, [...] This is a long post explaining -- venting -- why I have not released a Lightroom plugin for 500px.com. This post will not be interesting if you don't care about 500px.com. I've worked with a lot of companies during my life developing plugins for Adobe Lightroom. I've got 32 different plugins at the moment. With some companies like Flickr and Google and Facebook, my interaction is as an anonymous faceless third-party developer, but with most I have an ongoing personal interaction... for example, I work with Alex at Zenfolio, and with Dave and Andy at SmugMug. There's a long [...] It's been three months to the day since I posted "Photo-Development Challenge: Inspire Me and Others With Your Artistic Interpretation", and I'm mortified that it's only the second set of results that I'm finally getting around to sharing (the first having been "Hillside Temple Buildings" 2½ months ago). In retrospect, it was irresponsible of me to post the challenge right before a long family vacation. Sorry. In any case, to recap what's going on, I posted some raw photos and asked others to develop them to their taste, and here I'll share what those different interpretations looked like. First, today's [...] View full post » This plugin for Adobe Lightroom Classic adds features related to people in your photos, and their ages, such as knowing the ages of people in a photo at the time it was taken. This plugin works in Lightroom Classic, and older versions as far back as Lightroom 4 (though some features depend on the version of Lightroom). In Lightroom CC/6 and later, additional support is built in for Lightroom's Facial-recognition feature. The same download works for both Windows and Mac. See the box to the upper right for the download link (in orange) and installation instructions.

I'd wanted to check out the vine growing through a bamboo fence again, in afternoon light (as opposed to the morning shade I'd seen it in before), so I went back on Wednesday afternoon. It was a productive visit, with a few shots of the fence that will certainly find their way here in the future. However, the subject of today's post is what I saw when I looked up. Kyoto's impressive autumn colors are in full force now, but there are [...] View full post » |
