Tools

Driven by my personal workflow needs, I have created a couple of tools that may be of interest to other photographers/photography enthusiasts. Also, they serve as a proof of concept of the principles involved. All of these tools are created for the Adobe Photoshop platform.

Tonability (plugin for PS/Win)

Tonability is a plugin (Windows only) for Adobe Photoshop that can be used for the tonal manipulation of images, without giving up control over the color. It offers various methods to apply tone curves, and can interpolate between those methods. In addition, it can be used as a CS3 smart filter to fit into a non-destructive workflow.

ACR Calibrator L (script)

ACR Calibrator L is a script for Adobe Photoshop that can be used to calibrate a camera's color response in an Adobe Camera Raw / Lightroom workflow. It performs the calibration based on the standardized colors of the GretagMacBeth ColorChecker target.

CurveTools (PS actions)

The CurveTools are a set of Photoshop actions for Photoshop CS/CS2/CS3 that allow the user to apply a tone mapping (or zone mapping, if you like). The CurveTools are unique in fully decoupling the luminosity of pixels from their color (hue & saturation), and allowing for luminosity-only adjustments on pixels as a function of their original luminosity.
