Title: PIXLS.US - Free/Open Source Photography
Post by: patdavid on July 16, 2015, 03:38:06 pm

Hello all!

I just realized this is my first post in the forums, despite lurking and reading articles here constantly... :)

I wanted to drop in and (hopefully without breaking any rules or etiquette) announce something neat I have been working on the past 13 months or so.

It's a site dedicated to high-quality photography using Free/Open Source Software,

PIXLS.US (https://pixls.us)

It's an attempt to centralize high quality tutorials, workflows, and showcases of work by photographers using F/OSS tools. (Things like darktable, RawTherapee, GIMP, imagemagick, Hugin, Enfuse, Enblend, and so on... - there's actually a page for a software (https://pixls.us/software) on the site).

I wanted to invite anyone interested in Free/Open Source Software and workflows to drop by and check it out (there's also a[n awesome] forum running for the site as well).

Here's a current list of articles live on the site, with many more coming shortly:

A Q&A with Photographer Riley Brandt (https://pixls.us//articles/a-q-a-with-photographer-riley-brandt/)

A Blended Panorama with PhotoFlow (https://pixls.us//articles/a-blended-panorama-with-photoflow/)

Basic Landscape Exposure Blending with GIMP and G'MIC (https://pixls.us//articles/basic-landscape-exposure-blending-with-gimp-and-g-mic/)

An Open Source Portrait (Mairi) (https://pixls.us//articles/an-open-source-portrait-mairi/)

Skin Retouching with Wavelet Decompose (https://pixls.us//articles/skin-retouching-with-wavelet-decompose/)

Luminosity Masking in darktable (https://pixls.us//articles/luminosity-masking-in-darktable/)

Digital B&W Conversion (GIMP) (https://pixls.us//articles/digital-b-w-conversion-gimp/)


If you think it might be interesting, come on by and check it out (or even better - in true F/OSS spirit - write something!)

I've bookmarked the site but as I've been up for about 20 hours I'll drop in when I'm wide awake.  I know theres a few on here using image magic and hugin ect you should get a few visitors.
Regards Wayne

Awesome, thanks!  Don't judge the site with 20+ hour awake eyes... :D  We're not going anywhere, so come on by when you're fresh...
