<\/a>\nExample Of My New Plugin in Action<\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n

I've finally<\/i> released a new<\/span> plugin for Adobe Lightroom that I've been working on for some time,\nmy “<\/span>People Support”<\/span> plugin<\/a>. Once configured,\nit can tell you the age of people in a photo,<\/span> and include that data in exports.<\/p>\n\n

It's consumed me for weeks. The idea of calculating and displaying a person's<\/span> age seems quite straightforward and simple,\ndoesn't it? It's not. Date calculations are\nsurprisingly<\/span> fraught with complexity, and presentation all the more\nso when you take into account dealing with all the languages that Lightroom\ncan work in.<\/p>\n\n

English is simple in that we use the same “<\/span>year”<\/span> word for\ndealing with how long ago something happened (“<\/span>this picture was taken five years ago<\/i>”<\/span>) and how old someone is (“<\/span>this kid is five years old<\/i>”<\/span>). Not all languages<\/span> are\nso simple... Japanese, for example, uses completely different words for\n“<\/span>years”<\/span> when\ntalking about ages.<\/p>\n\n

Then you have to take into account special cases, such as the day of birth,\nor even when someone is tagged in a photo<\/span> before they're born (think ultrasound scan).<\/p>\n\n

There's still plenty of features I'd like to add, but what I'm releasing today is a good<\/span> start.\nNotably missing, for example, is a way<\/span> to inject people information into exported captions when you're not<\/i> using\none of my many export\/publish plugins<\/a>. But if you<\/span> are,\nthe configuration for who's name and\/or age should appear is remarkably powerful. A standalone<\/span> solution will come later.<\/p>\n\n

The plugin is here<\/a><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
