Graphics tool

Let’s get one thing straight. Graphics software and I do not get along. I take a digital camera picture, and then when I try to enhance it to, say, make up for the lack of natural light on an overcast day, I turn the picture into complete crap 90% of the time. Angela is good at that stuff, she has a ton of rather expensive graphics programs and can do all sorts of really creative and awesome things with it. I can’t. I start messing with all those tools and pretty soon I can’t even recognize the picture anymore. 🙂

Given that, I’ve always looked for something simple. Something that would make some basic adjustments to a digital camera picture without me having to mess around with it. Something that would, for example, take the pictures I took on a cloudy day in Montana and enhance the color that was there, I swear, but that didn’t come across in the pics very well.

I found it. Digital Camera Enhancer from mediachance.com. The free version did wonders for the colors on those overcast landscapes, just by me telling it that it was a landscape pic. It did the rest.. The pay version ($35) has even more tools including a batch enhancer. Now the Yellowstone Pics have the color that’s been missing since I got home!

  • Best of 2007

    Thanks to a challenge from Kevin Devin, and his own collection, I put together a slideshow of my favorite shots of 2007 from my Flickr collection. Keep in mind that these are really the photos that mean the most to me, you may not agree with the “best” monicker, but hey, they’re my photos and…

  • GimpShop

    Something I’ve discovered over the time that I’ve been doing photography is just how much trouble I have editing digital images. Seriously, my wife can open up Photoshop on her Mac and do some amazing things, while I’ve tried a variety of Windows apps, including Gimp, and I just have never quite gotten the hang…

  • Happy Accident

    Yesterday, when we were taking photos, I tried to slide up closer to a butterfly that had settled on a flower. I was able to get one quick shot of him, the edited version of which is here. When I fired off a second shot, though, I wasn’t as lucky, as something had startled him…

    Things I’m digging today

    Thing one is finally getting to plan out the details of my trip to San Francisco in October. I’ve got the Summation Certified Trainer Workshop Oct 8-11, but it looks like I’ll be staying a bit longer than that, catching the redeye out of town on Saturday night the 13th. That should give me a full couple of days…
