31 December 2008 by kristarella

With the year coming to a close it seems an opportune time to reminisce. I don’t have lots of good memories of this year— having completed a thesis and having not enjoyed it much at all. However, looking back over the last year of posts I think it was a pretty good year for blogging […]

Meet the GIMP demonstrates Ufraw

23 March 2008 by kristarella

I previously posted about Ufraw and its user guide, which I found to be quite unfriendly on the website. I created an easier-on-the-eyes pdf version.
