http://www.photography.omeri.net/ It has been a while since I created any blog entries. Facebook is very addicting. It sucks you away and it is hard to step out of it. But, I will try to blog about what I created this saturday evening to help me with my photography workflow, specifically the "selecting images users like" process. Though crude and geeky this is a helpfull script that will be very useful if you have to manually select raw photoshoot files after a client selects a list of them for you to edit them in post production. I wrote this in my favorite scripting language, Python, so you would need to have python installed to be able to run it. It is a console app, which now a days is so hard to accept, but for now it will do. Eventually I will write it in a graphical user interface(gui) version so that will be that much better. I plan on posting it out here eventually, when it's completed. This script takes three parameters: the folder that your RAW files are located in, the comma separated image name parts(numbers,letters,combination),and a destination folder to save the search results. It looks inside of the source folder and searches each filename to see if that filename contains any of the search terms you listed. If it does, it moves it to the target folder. This script assumes that all your RAW files of a project exist inside one large reference folder. If you have more, run the script again after changing the source directory. Usage Example: python selectImages.py c:\sourceFolder 1233,1232,2331,001 c:\destinationFolder Free of charge, baby! Enjoy!!!! http://www.photography.omeri.net/ I have always had a passion for art and photography. I enjoy drawing, painting, carving, etc. Recently I have decided to spend more time doing what I love and take art a little more seriously. During my wedding preparations I realized that wedding photography was pricy, and while without enough funds available, I made the decision to invest in a high end camera and eventually make up for its costs by shooting professional photography. At the time, early 2009, Circuit City was going out of business so I was able to secure a very nice Canon at a nice discount. The wedding went well, I set up the camera and my sister shot the pictures. They turned out gorgeous, my wife and I loved them. I have since set up a website, http://www.photography.omeri.net, and became available to anyone who needs professional photography in the Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota area, for free, for a limited time as a promotion. It does not get any cheaper than free professional photography. I use high quality equipment and have many years of experience creating professional graphics for the web with Adobe Photoshop, which helps tremendously while retouching and enhancing photos. en-us copyright © 2009 Omeri Mon, 10 May 2009 12:00:00 CDT
