<yawn> But at least the reporting is pointing out the stupidity of this, and the growing resistance to it.

See here. Nice one Austin.

Someone always comes up with what they wanted to see - we want it all! But one thing I think I would have liked to see this time would be more advanced cropping, including some lens correction options. Specifically, being able to correct barrel/pincushion and trapezoid distortion would be most welcome. I was collecting together […]

A very nice update to Lightroom just landed. I’m already a fan of LR for various reasons - speed, non-destructiveness being the main standouts. The beta adds a few things I was just thinking the other day would be nice to be able to do without having to open Bridge (not exactly my favourite Adobe product!) […]

Tangentially related (well not that tangentially) to my last post is this great outdoor work by Dr D: [Via]

They’re at it again. The authorities want to make photography a criminal activity, at least as far as I can tell. And they want you to get involved. This has been reported everywhere, and the web is teeming with responses to it. One of the most apt responses was this: Or maybe I just found it interesting because […]

From what I can tell having a very quick look at these is that the detail as you’d expect with a Foveon sensor, and the dynamic range looks pretty too.

Engadget: Canon China spills beans on new DSLR. It looks sort of interesting, with its full-frame 10.1 megapixels and ultra-sonic dust removal. Nothing amazing, though, really. (And am I the only one not following these Canon EOS DSLR naming conventions?) What looks more interesting, though, is the new EF 50mm f/1.2L USM lens also announced, along […]

PhotoshopNews.com has a story about Nikon’s frankly stupid idea to encrypt (yes, encrypt) the white balance data in their NEF file format. No comment, really. What I find really funny is that Adobe is worried about breaking the DMCA to reverse-engineer the format. Send ‘em all to gaol (that’s “jail”, for the non-English readers) for […]
