Tariq<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/opensourceFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opensourceFriday</a> A medium-long time ago I used to use an actual camera for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a>. I didn't have a smartphone, and even if I did their cameras were bad.A tool I used to do tone-mapping was Lightzone. Not to be confused with Adobe's Lightroom.I loved how simple and understandable the UI was - simply push up/down tones from source to target. It was free but only became <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opensource</a> in 2012 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LightZone" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LightZone</a>tutorials: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGob3KtUcRJqz-GwA5Owbdg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGob3KtUcRJqz-GwA5Owbdg</a>releases: <a href="https://github.com/ktgw0316/LightZone/?tab=readme-ov-file" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/ktgw0316/LightZone/?tab=readme-ov-file</a>

Tariq<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/opensourceFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opensourceFriday</a> Way back in 1995 I was working with data on a restricted SunOS 4 workstation. That meant using the unix tools like sed, awk, grep to clean, filter, process data.Sometimes I'd do calculations to create new "columns" in data files.I found the basic shell csh couldn't do floating point. Actually neither can modern bashThat's when I discovered the Korn Shell:ksh $ echo "$((1.0 / 3))" 0.333333333333333And that was my first introduction to different shells!<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opensource</a>
