I have updated the website to HTTPS.
What does this mean you might ask? Well, the primary difference is that by using HTTPS (notice the padlock symbol in your browser address bar) all of the data in the connection between your computer/device and the website is encrypted and therefore vastly more secure and private than HTTP traffic.
With website hacks and data breaches becoming increasingly common this update helps to ensure your security and privacy when visiting my site. From the end users perspective of viewing the site nothing has changed and the site will automatically redirect attempts to load: http://edparkerphoto.com to https://edparkerphoto.com
If you are looking to develop your own secure website for yourself, your business, or organisation please visit the web design section of the site to learn more.
Adobe Lightroom CC / 6 Released

Adobe has released Version 6 of its Lightroom image management and processing software. As part of Adobe’s new licensing model Lightroom is also available as part of its Creative Cloud (CC) subscription package.
This new version introduces several new features as well as a number of bug fixes and under the hood improvements to enhance your image editing experience.
The main headline additions are:
- HDR Merge – This new feature allows you to merge multiple images of different exposures to create HDR images right within Lightroom itself. Previously this would have required Photoshop or another 3rd party HDR software or plugin.
- Panorama Merge – Lightroom now offers the ability to stitch together multiple images to create stunning panoramic images.
- Face Recognition – Face recognition allows you to speed up and automate the tagging of people within your photos within your Lightroom library allowing you to more easily search and organise your photographs.
- GPU Acceleration – As Lightroom’s feature set and capabilities have increased over the years as has the size and number of photos people are using within their libraries. This has introduced the need for more processing power. With the addition of GPU Acceleration some of the workload previously required by your CPU can now be processed by your Graphics Card (GPU) helping to improve display performance and file rendering especially within the Develop module.

Over the last couple of months I have been designing and developing a website for Thurston Post Office & Stores in Thurston, Suffolk. The site is now complete so please take a look:
http://www.thurstonstore.co.uk
Working closely with the proprietors I have created a site to provide information about their business and the services they provide. Another key purpose of the site is to allow customers to view the in-store special offers which are updated on a three weekly cycle.
The services I provided in creating the website included:
- WordPress site design & development
- Content development
- Graphics & Artwork
- Logo design
- Photography
- Search Engine Optimisation
If you are interested in creating your own website please get in touch, I can work with you to produce a customised, accessible and affordable design that will help to promote and increase the success of your business.
