My team and I played a major part in making this new online service launch a reality. Go check it out at http://www.photoshop.com/express.

My team and I played a part in making this software release a reality. It’s great to see it hitting the stores and getting rave reviews.

A while back I posted a script that generates a histogram chart from a set of categories in my DAM software. I recently augmented that script to also show the total disk space occupied by the files tagged with those categories. (more…)

Long time ago I developed this tiny script for the IMatch DAM tool mostly as a proof-of-concept more than an tool for active use. Anyway, it occurred to me that it might useful or amusing for some people, or maybe a starting point for more elaborate scripts.

This script takes the name of the currently selected category in IMatch, and launches a web browser to show the Wikipedia search hits for that name. For example, if I select category Palo Alto in the IMatch category panel and run this script, it will launch the browser to show the Wikipedia topic for the city of Palo Alto. (more…)

Most of the time I use my chosen DAM tool to navigate my photo collection. Sometimes, though, I use the plain old Windows Explorer to browse photos in my photo collection, usually indirectly when an application such as Photoshop automatically turns on the thumbnail view in the Open File dialog. That unfortunately causes Windows Explorer to leave a pile of hidden files named Thumbs.db in every folder I visit. I find that annoying enough to write a quick and dirty little IMatch script to seek out and delete those files. (more…)
