Raw Editors for Infrared Photography (Sneak Peek)!

I'm collecting the results of my video reviews and tutorials on raw editors for infrared photography in a single location. This will help you pick the best raw editor for you. Details include software licensing, operating system and mobile support, white-balancing ability, color swapping methods, video links, and my summary. You can see the results at https://590.red/raw.

Visible Diffraction Calculator (Sneak Peek)!

I've built a new website that calculates diffraction for your camera and infrared filter! Select your camera and filter. The calculator will let you know which f-stops you can use to avoid diffraction. You can view this at https://www.diffraction.cam. That's diffraction dot CAM, as in camera, not dot com. I'll have a video explainer for this tool coming soon. Enjoy!
