I've just released a new plugin for Adobe Lightroom:<\/p>\n\n

\n→ <\/span>\nJeffrey's “Data Explorer” Lightroom Plugin<\/a>\n ←<\/span>\n<\/center>\n\n

It lets you group photos by metadata (e.g. “what lenses did I use<\/span>\nwith these photos?”) just like Lightroom's built in Library Grid\nFilter, but the plugin supports many<\/i> more criteria. As of its<\/span>\ninitial release, the plugin provides 109 ways to slice and dice your\nphotos, including things such as “Which photos have how much crop?” and\n“What photos are hidden within collapsed stacks?” and “What audio frame\nrates are seen in my videos?”.<\/p>\n\n

Plus 106 more.<\/p>\n\n

I started writing it a couple of weeks ago after first creating custom Lightroom camera-calibration\nprofiles (mentioned in\n“Viewing Anthony\u2019s New Shoes with My New X-Rite ColorChecker Passport<\/a>”)\nbecause it was maddening to not be able to quickly identify what photos were using which camera profiles.<\/p>\n\n

Now I can quickly get:<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

and via the “isolate” buttons see the relevant photos.<\/p>\n\n

For reasons I can't quite understand, working on this plugin has been a\ndeeply<\/span>-intensive, morning-to-night affair, much to the detriment of my normal\nhome and photo life.<\/p>\n\n

Perhaps it's because I particularly like data display, and it's a fun<\/span>\nchallenge to really make the plugin functional and useful and\nelegant<\/i> (or, at least as elegant as Lightroom's minimal plugin\ninfrastructure allows). There are a lot<\/span> of bells and whistles... many\nlittle touches that hopefully most folks will never notice because they\nfeel natural and intuitive, but a lot<\/i> of work has gone into the\ndetails. I'm proud<\/span> of the result.<\/p>\n\n

There are many more details and criteria on the to-do list, but I had<\/span> to\ndraw the line somewhere or I'd never get around to releasing the plugin,\nnor to returning to my regularly-scheduled life.<\/p>\n\n

I'm looking forward to a bit of the latter soon. Anthony's birthday party (10 years old!) is tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
