Nice Free Photo Software photos

A few nice free photo software images I found:

Flickr.Manager

Image by egoroff
As you may know Flickr has an excellent API and there is a good .NET library that implements that API. It's name is FlickrNet (http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?ProjectName=FlickrNet). Current software that can manage your Flickr stuff isn't very comfortable and useful so i decided to make a tool for me to manage Flickr photos, to upload them, to view my contact's photos, to backup, to make comments, to search etc.
To do the task i created a .NET application using the abovementioned library. The app is free. It doesn't do many things i have planned but i would like to show it other people for testing purposes. The app has no documentation yet but it'll have.

System requirements:

Windows XP SP2/Windows Vista
.NET Framework 2.0 (Vista includes it by default)

The application has English and Russian interface (depends upon current session language).

You can download it from here www.egoroff.spb.ru/download/Flickr/setup.exe

Bugs and comments send to flickrmanager (at) gmail.com

PS: And finally i eat my own dog food i.e. i use the tool myself.

Disk Inventory X revisited

Image by schoschie
This tool makes a cushion tree map of the contents of your hard disk(s). Each "cushion" is a file, and its size in the image corresponds to its file size on disk. The different colors are mapped to different file types (for example, blue is JPEG files, yellow is application bundles). What's special is that the cushions are arranged in such a way that they show the directory structure. A rectangular area full of cushions is a directory, which may of course contain subdirectories, which are visualised by smaller rectangular areas inside of it.

It's a very good piece of free software, and I think it's come a long way since I last tested it. It's pretty fast (went through my entire 70 GB disk in a couple of minutes), apparently quite stable and makes it very easy to spot big files. Also, it's a neat toy to play around with, if you are a nerd.

Exifer tutorial: Introduction

Image by Zepfanman.com
Exifer tutorial part 0 of 7: Introduction.
For the past few years, I've been applying EXIF and IPTC data directly to my photos before uploading them to Flickr. This has been helpful to me because I now have the same photo info on my computer as I do in Flickr; previously, I'd post a photo to Flickr and then add all the metadata to it; the photo on my computer would be left without the metadata that was later added to Flickr. Additionally, as soon as I upload photos to Flickr, the title, description, and other metadata are already correct, so people don't have to wonder what "IMG_1349" is. Hopefully you'll get the idea from the photo tutorial in this set. Download Exifer (Windows only) first and get a feel for its interface, then dig in to the tutorial!
1. Editing with Exifer
2. Dates
3. Title and description
4. Tags
5. XnView uploading
6. Adding GeoTags
7. GeoTagging tools

IMPORTANT: Note that the Yuan.CC tools (Flickr Group page) I mention evolve every few weeks; I only expect them to get better! My technique is nowhere near perfect, (Exifer only works in Windows, for example); I have to use several tools to get the job done and it would be nice if a software engineer could come up with a simple, catch-all app. Exifer turned out to be the best, though, after trying several other metadata editors. Visit the Flickr Hacks and Yuan.CC group discussions for the latest developments.

Also important to note: Test your photo editing program before and after using Exifer. Many newer programs don't have this problem, but Paint Shop Pro 9, for example, strips the IPTC data from photos. I try to retouch and crop my photos and then add metadata with Exifer afterwards to make sure I don't run into this problem. Most of the screenshots in this set use my Doggles 2 photo. Hopefully this tutorial will be even more helpful than July's Flickr Enhancements (outdated). Consult The Free Dictionary if you need help with the terminology.

Please make general comments on the main set page. Specific comments can be added to each picture, as well.

On a Lunch Break to Havard with Leica DLux 4 on qAF setting (Photo Series)

Image by soelin
DLux 4---on qAF setting.

I wanted to play around a little more using prefocus mode, set to qAF (supposedly good for autofocusing moving objects).

I honestly didn't pay much attention to how fast the camera was able to focus. From the results I got, I'd have to guess the qAF mode does very well. I could have also set the camera on manual focus, aperture at f/8 to f/11 and auto ISO for quick pre-focus shooting. But, I wanted to go for a "street shooting" where I could take pictures from various distances with the largest aperture possible.

I walked from Central Square to Harvard (about a mile or less). Camera still set at qAF, I snapped a few pictures while I was walking, and never stopping (except for one picture of a chalk writing on the street). I shot from the waist level with camera to the side, as well as from the front (pointing the camera forward up and down as if I was looking at the photos I have taken.) I do that because I'm a bit shy being too obvious about taking photos of strangers on the street. Street photography hasn't been really "my thing" since I am kind of a quite/low key type of person.

I am very impressed with the results; fast focus, good metering, SILENT shutter and focus. Though I haven't done a lot of "street shooting," I'm finding Dlux 4 to be a quite capable "street shoot" camera. Having the Lecia grip also helped A LOT especially when I have to hold the camera side ways, taking shots from the side of the hip.

Anyway, I've posted a few pics from my walk. All these pictures in the series have been post-processed with a new free application I found for the mac, TiltShift to get the blur and softer look.

For this pic, I did stop, framed and shot. But, I still had qAF mode turned on.

Blue hour at the Liberty Memorial

Image by Jim Nix / Nomadic Pursuits
When I was in Kansas City on business, I had a free evening and so I camped out atop the Liberty Memorial and waited for sunset. The Liberty Memorial is a memorial to the fallen soliders of World War I and it is a beautiful structure - well, more like a group of structures. It sits high atop a hill, giving you a commanding view of downtown KC. If you look at my Kansas City shots, all the shots with the wide view of downtown were taken from up here. If you make it to KC, definitely stop by this spot. In this shot, I turned slightly away from downtown (which is out of frame to the right) and followed the setting sun as it departed. The skies were soft and the light was just right. It was a peaceful evening and I was surprised that I was the only photographer there. But hey, I wasn't complaining!

Green Clovers over Pink and White Criss Cross--8 Mirror Tile

Image made for my Squidoo lens at www.squidoo.com/silicon-mirror where I discussed making multiple tessellations from a single photograph. The original photo I used to create this and at least 14 other designs can be found at www.flickr.com/photos/crystalwriter/7984709933/ which also begins this series of tessellations.

Also, as I like to do for any of my photos that are primarily pink, please let the pink color bring you to remembrance for those who have fought the battle with breast cancer. A nice way to remember them is to help women who need exams get the funding by daily clicking the button at www.thebreastcancersite.com where you can also support the cause by playing free games or buying pink-ribbon, and other, merchandise. While you're there, consider clicking the buttons for the other causes (like Animal Rescue) also supported by the "Greater Good" organization.
