About Me

By

Your first question probably is, “Who is this Nate guy?” I’m a husband, father, system administrator, photographer, and general DIYer. If I can do a task myself, my first inclination is to fire up the trusty Internet and ask if anyone else has figured out how to do that thing. As I continued to problem-solve my own challenges this way, I realized there were opportunities for clarity and questions that weren’t being answered. Tools and processes were SO difficult to track down. Hence, I embarked on another role in my life: to create content not just for myself, but for a growing community of people I discovered were facing similar frustrations. I wanted to give hope to others working a day job and raising a family, which are tremendous blessings, but seeking something more to accomplish.

    Hi Nate

    just wanted to reach out to let you know I have added links to your account as part of a video I have put together to bring together a source for promoting content and tutorial makers in FOSS to raise the level of awareness of the true power of open source to use in their everyday life as artists and in general day to day!

    I am trying to do this locally and providing the FOSS on thumb drives, give advice, create presentations and advocate for people to use FOSS and the benefits of doing such.

    Feel free to have a look, there are links and credits accordingly to promote your youtube, I hope all is well and maybe we can expand all this and create more input to the conversation and further those creators of the software to be able to work full time on their software with support which in turns benefits all of us using them.

    This is my link to the video  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UGq3pSOqw4&t=23s

    Best wishes
    Gary

      Hi Gary! Thank you so much for leaving a comment and including my content in your video! I think the collection of FOSS in the video is fantastic and (if you have no objection, I'd like to include it on my "Creator Toolbox" (https://Photolearningism.com) as a great resource to point out the different open source technologies~

RAW Images and Paint.NET

TOOLS I've been making good use of the Paint.NET tool for basic photo work and felt like it was time to give it a plug. It is a well made, FREE, open-source tool, and has served me well for the past year. It also has a healthy following of users who create plugins. If interested, download from here -  https://www.getpaint.net/download.html  RAW IMAGE EDITING After a ton of reading, experimentation, and testing ideas from the Paint.Net community, I found a combination of dlls and add-ons that allow editing of Nikon RAW images! Please note that I did not create these solutions and am not responsible for any adverse effects of using them (use them at your own risk), but I've found this combination to consistently work with NEF pictures (Nikon RAW images taken on a D5300). I've created a share of the needed files (which is a compilation of different solutions from multiple Paint.Net forum users). Do give them credit for their work! Download these to the "FileTyp...

Digging Back In

For anyone who may have been checking in over the last several months, I haven't been posting while I gathered up the needed momentum to push this effort forward. I've been searching for ways to make photography less of spectator event and more interactive for the audience. To help ramp up this effort, I started LIVE streaming via Twitch to show the photo editing process using Paint.Net (a FREE photo editing tool) and am looking for additional ways to connect and share experiences with everyone. Tune in and keep watch! Things are about to get busy and I'm excited to press on and share! https://www.twitch.tv/klinnowar Take care! -Nate

What to Look for in a... Photo Editor

By

Everyone is talking about Photoshop, right? That sounds like the industry standard and the de-facto tool that guarantees success right out of the box. Maybe. Just to be clear, the point of this review is not to bad-mouth Photoshop. It is a powerful tool with a long history of innovation for photo work. Alongside Photoshop, many alternatives, open-source and commercial, have risen in stature and feature-set to openly compete for artists. At the crux of a good photo working application, there are some core things it should have to make it not just useful, but valuable.  Intuitive Design Tools should be foremost functional, which depends heavily upon the ability to effectively use its features. Designs should be built with logical positioning, allowing for optimal use of the space and giving users options to customize the overall layout according to their unique style and workflow. If too much time is required to find features or they are too deeply buried in menus, then it's best to ...
