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.

Over these years through Code 42, the company behind CrashPlan, made a bunch of changes that made it unbearable to use.https://www.svenstork.com/posts/how-to-check-the-shutter-count-of-your-camera/Sun, 15 Sep 2019 21:58:08 -0500https://www.svenstork.com/posts/how-to-check-the-shutter-count-of-your-camera/A simple way to determine the shutter count of your DSLR.https://www.svenstork.com/posts/why-i-stick-with-crashplan/Sun, 10 Sep 2017 21:58:08 -0500https://www.svenstork.com/posts/why-i-stick-with-crashplan/In one of my previous posts I explained why I switched from S3 to Crashplan Home. Recently Crashplan announced that they will end Crashplan Home and only offer Crashplan for Small Businesses. A few people asked me what I am going to do.https://www.svenstork.com/posts/why-i-switched-from-amazon-s3-to-crashplan/Sun, 27 Mar 2016 21:58:08 -0500https://www.svenstork.com/posts/why-i-switched-from-amazon-s3-to-crashplan/I am in the middle of the moving my online backup system from Amazon S3 to Crashplan. In this post I will layout why this switch made sense for me and might make sense for you as well. I have about ~500GB worth of data (mostly pictures and some videos). So far I used Amazon S3 (more precisely Amazon Glacier) to backup my keeper shots (which is about 35GB worth of data). I store my pictures and my main Lightroom catalog on external hard drives in a raid configuration for added redundancy. In the long run I want to backup all my pictures online and not only the core of my work. The following sections compare both Amazon S3 and Crashplan by looking at different aspects and comparing both services with each other.https://www.svenstork.com/posts/how-to-turn-your-point-and-shoot-into-a-dslr/Sun, 28 Feb 2016 21:58:08 -0500https://www.svenstork.com/posts/how-to-turn-your-point-and-shoot-into-a-dslr/A simple way to convert your point and shoot camera into a DSLR by upgrading its firmware.https://www.svenstork.com/posts/android-camera-raw-support/Sat, 27 Feb 2016 21:58:08 -0500https://www.svenstork.com/posts/android-camera-raw-support/Google recently released their latest version of Android (called Lollipop). The most exciting feature in this release was the introduction of a new Camera API for accessing and generating RAW images. Today Camera-FV5 released a new version of their app with the added capabilities of storing images directly in the DNG format. After installing the update on my Nexus 5 I gave this new feature a quick test and here are my findings ….https://www.svenstork.com/posts/why-using-lightroom-and-capture-one-together-makes-sense/Wed, 17 Feb 2016 21:58:08 -0500https://www.svenstork.com/posts/why-using-lightroom-and-capture-one-together-makes-sense/There have been many articles been written comparing Lightroom (LR) and Capture One (CO) and favoring one over the other. I have been using Lightroom for years and have been using Capture One for about 1 year now. In my experience both have their merits and problems. In the following overview I like to highlight the strength (in no particular order or claim of completeness) of each application to show that both tools can complement each other.
