Pixelmator Repair Tool

This sunset was prettier than this photo shows and was marred by the phone/power lines. Pixelmator recently updated a few features, including a Repair tool that does a really nice job of eliminating the lines. A pro, taking her time, could get an even better result.

Pixelmator extensions for Apple Photos

Pixelmator Retouch Extension Overview from Pixelmator Team on Vimeo.

Google Photos does an amazing job of organizing photos for people who don’t have time or inclination to do that chore manually. I’m one of those lost souls and find Google Photos frustrating. So I’ve continued to manage my photos on my MacBook in Apple Photos and upload anything worth sharing to my blog and flickr.

I use Pixelmator for editing photos and the most recent update to that app includes extensions that make it easy to use Pixelmator from within the Apple Photos app.

Instagram becoming a favorite social tool

Every time I peek at Instagram, I find remarkable new images. This one by someone calling themselves purposofenvy. You can see more of his/her photos here.
Not sure why I find instagram so appealing. I think it’s that the photo is the extent of the communication. You can intuit (?) a lot about someone without a bunch of words. The photo is the story.
