Capturing camera/picture data without PhoneGap
As people know, I’m a huge fan of PhoneGap and what it allows me to do with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. But I think it is crucial to remember that you don’t always need PhoneGap. A great example of that is camera access. Did you know that…

Soft Proofing Preview in Lightroom 5 Beta
In the Develop module with Soft Proofing enabled, the before/after view now displays the Current photo (on the left) and the proofed photo (on the right).

Seeing More USB Power On The Road
As a frequent traveler with gadgets I’m always looking for opportunities to charge up. Anytime that I’ve have more than a 15 minute wait in one spot I check my surroundings to see what power options are nearby.

Native equivalents of jQuery functions
If you checked out my last post you’ll know that I have been doing lots of JavaScript coding as of late, both inside and out of Brackets. I have also been doing a series of performance tests (1, 2, 3) between popular jQuery methods and their native DOM equivalents.
Yes I know what you’re thinking. Obviously native methods are faster because jQuery has to deal with older browsers and host of other things. I completely [...]

Applying Virtual Copy Settings to the Master File
There have been times when I have decided that the settings that I had applied to the Virtual Copy are better than what are on my Master. In this case, I can quickly apply the settings from a virtual copy to the master, by selecting Photo > Set Copy as Master (in the Library module). [...]
Responsive Design Tool for Brackets
Over the last month or so I have been working on something that is completely different from anything I’ve done before. It all started because I was thinking about how I could create a responsive design tool specifically aimed at developers. Adobe already has an amazing tool for designers called Edge Reflow. You can check out my tutorial if you want to see how that tool works.
But for developers, most of the time you are going to want [...]
Having Every Photo I’ve Ever Edited With Me At All Times Thanks to Lightroom 5

Creating A Smart Collection Based on Virtual Copies in Lightroom 5 Beta
Although it’s easy to find your Virtual Copies by using the Filter options in Lightroom, (use the Attribute filter and click the Virtual Copy icon on the far right), it isn’t as readily apparent how one can create a Smart Collection that automatically finds your Virtual Copies – but it can be done! In the [...]

Automatically Set as Target Collection in Lightroom 5 Beta
In previous versions of Lightroom, you could Control (Mac) / Right Mouse (Win) -click a collection and choose “Set as Target Collection”. Then, adding additional images to the collection was as simple as tapping the “B” key (as opposed to dragging each image from the grid view into the collection). In the Lightroom 5 Beta, [...]
