One general issue, especially with drone shots, is that there are some blind spots which cause the final image to have holeshttps://www.svenstork.com/projects/dji-file-renamer/Sun, 04 Dec 2022 21:58:08 -0500https://www.svenstork.com/projects/dji-file-renamer/A simple utility to rename and organize your DJI mini files in a more streamlined way.https://www.svenstork.com/projects/interactive-blender-panel/Sun, 04 Dec 2022 21:58:08 -0500https://www.svenstork.com/projects/interactive-blender-panel/The Interactive Blender Panel simplifies the bend-if layer style feature in Photoshop by offering users an interface in terms of more common concepts such as luminosity, range and feather. The advantage of using the blend-if styles to blend layers is that there is not need to explicitly create luminosity masks.https://www.svenstork.com/projects/interactive-luminosity-masks/Sun, 04 Dec 2022 21:58:08 -0500https://www.svenstork.com/projects/interactive-luminosity-masks/The Interactive Luminosity Panel (ILM) is a novel Adobe Photoshop extension for creating luminosity and saturation masks in a more efficient and user-friendly way.

With around $300 this lens is much more affordable than a Nikon 14-24mm lens. The main drawback of this lens is the extreme geometric distortion it shows off. In many situation you wont notice it but as soon as you have some straight lines going across your picture you will see it rather clearly. Normally that would not be a big issue as those distortion can be fixed in software. Unfortunately Lightroom does not come with a lens profile.https://www.svenstork.com/posts/dji-file-renamer/Mon, 12 Jul 2021 21:58:08 -0500https://www.svenstork.com/posts/dji-file-renamer/I just release my DJI File Renamer tool.

Especially of you work with several sessions, it is not necessary to keep them around for older sessions (they will automatically be recreated if you open the session again). Here are some quick ways to delete those files…https://www.svenstork.com/posts/how-i-organize-my-photos-to-play-nicely-with-capture-one-and-lightroom/Sun, 14 Aug 2016 21:58:08 -0500https://www.svenstork.com/posts/how-i-organize-my-photos-to-play-nicely-with-capture-one-and-lightroom/As mentioned before, I use Capture One and Lightroom for processing my pictures.
