OK Adobe Lightroom Team, Apple Aperture team, are you listening? I’ve just spent the last 10+ hours doing something manually that belongs in your products (Lightroom & Aperture): Correcting the perspective and lens distortion of photos non-destructively.

Now about 80% through my batch of Puerto Rico photos. I’m still hobbling around, but the “splint” is off and the pain is slowly going away. For some ungodly reason, I’m up at 2:00 AM EST. So what better opportunity to share another photo from the trip?

On my trip to San Juan Puerto Rico, I decided to make my first formal foray into the world of geotagging. On advice of my friend Saadiq, I brought along a GiSTEQ PhotoTrackr, a small USB device that records your location and time. So far, I’ve managed to geotag nearly all of the photos on [...]
