I'm taking on consulting projects, starting in November.
Web apps, Rails, infra, and helping teams get results from AI.
Let's talk: ptrchm.com/work-with-me
It was actually Codex, but still...
Boom, windows-only issue fixed: github.com/pch/rawmakase/pul…
Love to see people using it for their photos.

The goal is for RAWmakase to stand on its own, rather than be seen as a "good enough for a free alternative" trade-off. We'll get there.
It's a team of Claude, Codex, contributors, and me, btw 😅
I used to work professionally as a photographer and spent most of my time in Lightroom. Since then, i've unsubbed from everything Adobe...and good riddance.
But I had to bulk edit images recently, and vaguely remembered something about Omakase...no, omarchy...no... RAWmakase, that's it!
Fired up codex and told it to install it, and before my photos finished transferring the thing was up and running on my mac.
It's not perfect, but as a free replacement for Lightroom, it's incredible. Plus they are constantly shipping updates and i'm sure it will be 10/10 soon.
Bravo to whatever team put this together. You're heroes.
PS: fix some of the shortcuts plz thnx
I really like @AmpCode for web dev.
Just ran a few tasks for pixelpeeper.com with orbs (cloud VMs).
It set up the dev environment on its own: postgres, rails, node, python, multiple system dependencies. Not the most straightforward stack.
I started a few threads (using my Claude sub), each in an isolated VM (orb), with it own live URL for me to test.
Really cool. A glimpse of the new way of building software.
Still, it's early and I'm figuring out the product. Seems I need to watch 6 hours of @thorstenball demos to fully get it.😉
Machine labor exploitation continues.
Highlights of v0.4.6 - the "DHH's 3%" edition:
· export filename templates (e.g. YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS CAMERA-MODEL.jpg)
· improved brush masks
· adjust tone sliders with +/- keys
· support for Canon EOS R8 Mark II (h/t @NimaiMalle)
· "report issue" button
· multiple improvements, bugs fixed, new ones introduced
Release notes: github.com/pch/rawmakase/rel…
Try it on:
· Linux (Omarchy transparency config info added to README)
· macOS
· or - God forbid - Windows
Slop machines know no rest.
v0.4.5 ships major improvements to lens corrections.
RAWmakase now applies lens corrections embedded in RAW files by cameras: distortion, chromatic aberration, and (for many models) vignetting.
No need to import Adobe *.lcp profiles anymore - but you still can, if you want.
Full release notes: github.com/pch/rawmakase/rel…
Yesterday's release (v0.4.4):
github.com/pch/rawmakase/rel…
If you notice any bugs, open a detailed issue on GitHub. Don't complain here 😉
Next, back to work on:
- built-in film simulations and presets
- built-in camera profiles
- missing file management tasks
The highlights/shadows parity research agents have been going in circles, making minimal progress. Need to try a different approach. Or wait for Opus 6.5.
Went to bed and by the time I woke up the PRs for this were already in place.
A round of manual tests, a few fixes and they’ll land in today’s release.
This won’t get us to 100%, but we’re slowly getting there.
File name exporting was one. I use YYYY-MM-DD HH.MM.SS CAMERA-MODEL.jpg. The other was brushes. And finally +/- to adjust exposure. And return to export on the dialog. 😄

A little peek into how the sausage is made:
Watch me use @t3dotcodes and Opus to fix a user-reported issue in RAWmakase - with very little prompting.
(it's unbelievably cringe to watch and listen to myself, so lmk if this is watchable)

I just edited a bunch of family photos from the Japan and China trips on this. All my Lightroom presets worked beautifully. A few minor things left, but we are 97% there.
So I have zero use for the Adobe Creative Suite sub now. Guess I'll just pay the $600 break-up fee 😂

In today's 0.4.3 release:
- import .cube LUTs (as Creative Looks)
- more file management improvements (moving folders to trash, moving folders between drives)
- better highlights -100 (still not perfect)
- fixes for clarity and dehaze
Thanks to everyone who reported bugs and contributed code (h/t @lgwalker2010).

Plowing ahead 🚜
For a good bug report, all I need to get it fixed:
- start a new agent
- paste the link to the issue
- say "fix it"
As shown here: xitter.cf/p_ch/status/2112836962…
Frameworks are here to stay. For now.
But some types of abstractions made purely for human productivity may not survive AI in the near term.
Like ORMs.
