The Toolbox

Robust utilities and guides for photographers and creative professionals. Whether it's identifying colors in the real world, editing image metadata or exploring photography techniques, these are all developed and maintained with productivity, stability and creativity in mind.

The Toybox

Experiments in logic and humor – because not every problem on the web needs a serious solution. Projects like the Banana Calculator or Hamster Power are exercises in creative coding, and the YouMe Camera is a fun way of taking a picture and being in it at the same time.

 

Why is this? The internet is often cluttered with tools that are broken, bloated, or buried behind paywalls. The goal of this site is simple: to build and share things that actually work. Some of these projects were born out of professional necessity, while others were built purely to answer a ridiculous question. Whether you are here to fix a broken panorama image, find the RGB and Pantone (oops, Freetone) color value of a flower, or calculate the monetary cost of a boring meeting, I hope you find exactly what you are looking for.
