Photo Mechanic – Multiple Code Replacement
Code Replacement also supports multiple replacements for a code. The additional replacements just follow the first replacement with a tab character between each additional replacement. Here is an example:
code replacement replacement #2 replacement #3
In order to use the alternate replacements you need to add the field selector which is the pound sign ‘#’ followed by the number of the replacement you want to select. For instance with the above example one would use \code#2\ to select the second replacement which would result in ‘replacement #2’ being entered in the text. While you can enter #1 to get the first replacement, it is not necessary. Code Replacement will work with either method.
Piwigo – Remove footer text
Piwigo would like you to leave this in, but if you’re set on removing the ‘Powered by Piwigo‘ text in the footer, you can simply comment it out. The code is located in the footer.tpl file, and it’s best to do this change to the file specific for your theme.
It may be located here:
/PIWIGO_INSTALL_DIRECTORY/themes/THEME_NAME/template/footer.tpl
Comment out the code as shown below in red (without quotes):
(use ‘<!–‘ for opening comment and ‘–>‘ for closing comment)
'<!--' {'Powered by'|@translate} Piwigo '-->'
{$VERSION}
{if isset($CONTACT_MAIL)}
- {'Contact webmaster'|@translate}
{/if}
{if isset($TOGGLE_MOBILE_THEME_URL)}
- {'View in'|@translate} : {'Mobile'|@translate} | {'Desktop'|@translate}
{/if}
Lightroom: Processing sports photos
(Thanks to Zamani Feelings for much of this info.- short but sweet!)
Often times, your photos may end up with a ‘muddy look’, which is a combination of too warm of a White Balance and too much Contrast. To fix this, cool down the color temp (you may need to play with the green/red slider, too) and lower the Contrast. Continue reading »
Simple White Balance Tip
(from https://improvephotography.com/42047/tips-night-sports-photography-processing/)
A very quick and easy way to get the WB very close to what it should be at an indoor basketball game or a football game is to use the Kelvin White Balance setting in your image. How do you know where to set it? Use live view and look at your LCD. Adjust the Kelvin setting until you see on the screen what you see in real life. Bingo. You’re set and the WB will remain the same throughout your shooting.
There won’t be any fluctuations and this makes post processing much more simple. There is a caveat however. This is assuming the light isn’t changing. An indoor sporting event and night football game where the game starts under the lights when it’s totally dark out and ends that way will be great for using the above set-it-and-forget-it method.
