I use Gimp as my photography and images editor. I don’t open Photoshop for more than two years. I begin to use it
My main use nowadays is to edit in bulk the blog articles images. I resize it, add the watermark and reduce the image weight in seconds I handle them all at the same time.
But it is useful for photographers, and all people who work with images and repetitive tasks and routines.

One of the most laborious tasks in Machine Learning consists of data collection and treatment.
There are a meteorological observatory in my city. You can see main meteorological indicators in real time trough its we and it share historical data too, but it share it in PDF
