Uploads

I take pictures of things I happen to see and find interesting, or I think might be useful, but I do not actively look for them.

Feel free to ask me for other versions/details/variations of any of my pictures: if I am able to provide them I'll be glad to do so!

If you wish to use any of my pictures under conditions other than the ones I chose, feel free to ask for it. As a general rule I only apply free culture, copyleft licenses - if you need a different one, you should give me good reasons to grant it.

Tools

These are the tools I use to edit my pictures before uploading them to Commons.

• cropgui, to crop JPEG files losslessly^[1]
• exiftool, to edit the metadata
• GIMP, for any lossy edit
• jpegoptim, to compress JPEG files
• jpegtran, to rotate JPEG files losslessly^[2]
• optipng, to compress PNG files losslessly

I also use pattypan for bulk uploads.

All these tools are free (as in freedom) software.

Disclosures

I often happen to use internet connections shared with other people, so it may look like I have sockpuppets. If you suspect of me, be informed that that's not the case - let me know about any problem and we will probably sort it out in no time.
