Adobe Lightroom (Lr) provides sufficiently good features to post-process images. Though I have a Photoshop CC subscription, unless I am doing advanced manipulations, Lightroom is a quicker option to experiment with image tone and color grading. It provides a ton of presets for transformations, but I usually build my custom edits, since every preset output…

Forged Reality
As the world in 2023 goes gung-ho over the Generative AI offerings, photo editing enthusiasts are not to be left behind either.

Exploring Fontainhas

At first I thought of trying it out on one of my biking trails. I stay close to the city outskirts (though the city is vastly expanding,…
