Now I've updated to the latest 8.1 release of digiKam. I will look more into my settings related to new features compared to 7.9 (I never upgraded to 8.0), and generally learn more about the new features. I am so impressed of this free and open software! #opensource #foss #photography #digikam https://www.digikam.org/

Pixelfed versus Vero for photography? I don't use any of them, only learned today Vero exist. As far as I can see, Vero does not communicate with Fediverse, nor opensource. But I have no idea about differences in use case, performance etc etc. Anyone who can enlighten me? #pixelfed #vero #photography

I have started to use #DisplayCAL to calibrate my monitor. It seems to be very competent, far more compentent than I am on the calibration topic. But I think manage to use it. I use it with my Spyder 5 colorimeter. I have noticed a few issues which I think are related to that I have installed DisplayCAL in form of a #FlatPak on #Linux, a container method to install software, it should need some more openings (sw permissions) than default. Recommended sw! https://displaycal.net/ #photography

It's still long time until winter is over, but we are getting there; spring will arrive!

Of unknown reason, I waited a month to upgrade my #digiKam software to the new 7.9.0 release. I am still happy I moved over to digiKam, primarily as photo catalog manager, but I can also use it for editing etcetera. I intend to use eg #RawTherapee and #GIMP in addition, maybe more (now also #AfterShot). (my migration in Swedish: https://www.hemrin.com/business-blog/365-byta-fotokatalogprogram-till-digikam-fran-photoshop-elements-och-lightroom-classic) The latest release: https://www.digikam.org/news/2022-12-05-7.9.0_release_announcement/ #OpenSource #FOSS #Photography

I recommend the PIXLS website for anyone who shot photos. It includes a list of free and open software for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS and Linux. Of course not exhaustive, but a good start. I use several of the listed softwares. #photography #photo #software #FOSS #FLOSS #OpenSource #Android #iOS #Windows #macOS #Linux https://pixls.us/

On the happy side: Birds IRL eating an ordinary day. A #photo I shot a couple of days ago through a window, hence not so clear and sharp. Anyway, best effort, developed with #digiKam. #photography
As alternative to all talk about a non-IRL bird.
On the sad side:
- We must improve regarding the #climatechange. What must I do better in my life?
- The #invasion war by #Russia in #Ukraine. So terrible and idiotic etc. Several other ongoing wars not to be forgotten.
- Too much more for one toot.

Exploring and learning more and more about digiKam to manage my photo catalog (and more features for photos). #photography #opensource

I'm working on my migration to digiKam from Photoshop Elements Organizer to manage my photo catalog. It takes a while, it is not a full time engagement, but it seems as in the end I will have most metadata with me automatically and by hand. #photography #digiKam #opensource

Tidying up catalogs in my outdated version of Photoshop Elements Organizer. Then I will import to Lightroom, as interim step. Lightroom can import and export better (eg xmp sidecar). The import into #digiKam which I plan to use as photo catalog. That's the plan...! #photography

New release of RawTherapee soon to come! #RawTherapee #photography https://rawtherapee.com/2022/07/rawtherapee-5.9-wip-and-project-updates/

I have installed and done my first trial with Entangle software - taking photographs with a digital camera completely controlled from the computer ("tethering"). It seems to simply work perfect with my Nikon D90. #photography #Linux #OpenSource #Entanglephoto https://entangle-photo.org/

I am outdated. I use a camera to take photos. #photography

Read! About Kodachrome. Myself I mostly used Agfa, but of course I also used Kodachrome. #photography #Kodak #Kodachrome https://www.optica-opn.org/home/articles/volume_33/june_2022/features/the_lingering_legacy_of_kodachrome/

A few photos of flowers. I explore the free and open soure RawTherapee software for raw photo developing. #rawtherapee #photo #photography #opensource https://www.hemrin.com/business-blog/347-flowers
