Our thoughts on the new mirrorless flagship from Nikon
This week, Nikon announced the development of the Z9 mirrorless camera. Although specs were scarce, there are a few things we can infer from the product announcement. Adobe released a new update to Camera Raw, which offers a new feature called “super resolution.” This enables ACR (and soon, Lightroom) users to double the linear pixel dimensions of their images while preserving a raw format. Our experiments with Super Resolution suggest that it has a lot of potential in the future for working with highly-cropped images or photos captured with lower-resolution cameras.
This week, we discuss the need for having a back-up camera. Do you need one? It depends on your shooting situation and what kinds of camera(s) you use. Sometimes, we’ll use different kinds of cameras as a back-up to our primary camera body. We also take a first look at Nikon’s latest free software editor, NX Studio, which fuses features from View NX-i and Capture NX-D.
This week, we discuss the evolution of eye-detection autofocus systems. This relatively new technology has amazing potential to transform the way portrait and event photographers shoot. We also have our weekly Lightroom tip; this week we discuss how to handle highlight recovery to prevent images from looking “flat.”
When should you use Adobe Photoshop in your workflow?
This week, we’re discussing our editing workflows, and while they are similar, both of us do things a little differently when it comes to our photos. We then take a look at the role of Photoshop for digital photographers. When we first started out in digital photography, Photoshop was practically mandatory. Now, it plays a much lesser (but still important) role in our editing workflows for certain types of images.
When you get a new lens, do you test it out? Should you test it out? This week, we’re discussing what to look for when you get a new camera lens, and how to make sure you’re testing it properly. We’ll also give you another Lightroom tip, part of our weekly series on Adobe Lightroom Classic.
