I wanted to see what happens if you treat a simple image of the sky with similar post-processing as an astrophoto. So I took an image of the sky, developed it with Darktable, and then ran it through denoising, stretching, etc. in Siril. This is the result. The second image shows the same photo straight out of the camera, before processing.

I use #ACDSee as my photo asset management application of choice. Haven't upgraded in a while, still using ACDSee 2025.

They just advertised the upcoming 2027 version. Oh, seems there's a few features that I'd really like, like reject tag and reverse image search and such...

...yet the headline feature is apparently #genAI image generator? Doesn't even run locally, you need to buy credits. What the hell. Don't push this to people who are trying to get away from Adobe nonsense, please.

sad grumble I might have to start researching if #digiKam has had significant improvements in past 4 years or so, once again. Hopping between software is getting harder when the photo collection steadily grows, so I need to be really careful.

Oh deer, are there many flowers!

From the archives (2022): This is the view down the Sørfjorden from Lofthus Camping, Norway. This fjord is a branch of the large Hardangerfjorden. It has an interesting microclimate, allowing the cultivation of orchards. The region is known for its cider so much that it even has cider vending machines filled with local produce.
