Hi, I’m Jim, the guy behind FIDO Software. Welcome to the new blog.
First, the name. FIDO stands for Fire, Infrared, Drone, Outdoors. Those are the kinds of photos I love to shoot. And yes, the dog on the site is staying.
I started FIDO Software for a simple reason. I wanted photo tools that do one job well, without a pile of menus and settings you never use. I spent years working in IT for the healthcare industry, so I know how frustrating bad software can be. My goal is the opposite: open it, do the job, get back to shooting.
Right now you can find PresetBridge on the site. More programs are on the way, including Infrared Studio, an editor made just for infrared photos, and FIDO RAW Batch Converter, which will be free.
On this blog I’ll share what I’m learning as I shoot and build. Expect posts on:
• Infrared photography, from the basics to more advanced looks
• My full-spectrum Canon R6 Mark II and how I use it
• The filters I shoot with, including Kolari Vision drop-in filters
• Tips for editing infrared photos
• News and updates on FIDO Software programs
This week is all about infrared. Tomorrow I’ll explain what infrared photography is and why it looks so different from a normal photo.
Thanks for stopping by. If you have a question or a topic you’d like me to cover, send it my way.
