Well, as far as books go that have truly resonated, this is one of the most powerful I've read so far.
Recommended to me on Mastodon 🙌🏻 One that I'll frequently revisit, and now also highly recommend.

State of the Word, WordPress 6.9, Carousel Block and more — Weekend Edition #350
Read onlineIssue #350 | November 22, 2025 Hi there, Munich got hit with the first snow for this Winter. It started slowly on Friday morning, and by the afternoon the flakes got larger and the white started to cover tree branches, roofs and cars. It might all be gone by tomorrow, though, as the weather forecast shows -7 °C (19.4 °F) with sunshine.❄️ I am still a Floridian Weather whimp, but I like the snow covering the overcast gray of an Autumn day.

And it works with RAW files too.
Other than masking, it's not that far off from all the tools that you get in Lightroom. Powerful stuff 🖤
