    • Retro Digital or Analog Film? Here’s How to Pick the Right Phoblographer Preset

      We get some version of this question a lot: should you buy the Retro Digital Presets or the Analog Film Presets Pack? They're both popular, and they both start from the same basic idea, recreating a specific, studied look instead of a generic filter, but they land in genuinely d…

    • Bunkering down

      I shut down my web servers on Thursday. I’ve had a home of my own on internet for 27 years. A good innings but a sad day. A home-owner no more! I’m renting now. Old websites have been archived to static HTML and moved to a shared host. I said goodbye to some old apps. You…
