Loupedeck+ review: The future of image editing?
It’s not just the ability to look at your images without taking your eyes off the screen which is reason enough to consider one of these, one key benefit that’s exclusive to consoles like this is the ability to adjust two parameters at once.

Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm F4 sample gallery
Update (06/12/2019): Read our review of the Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm F4 S here. The Nikkor Z 24-70mm F4 is Nikon’s first zoom for its mirrorless Z 7 and Z 6 full-frame models. Given the marketing spiel about it being high-end, it is really just a consumer-grade lens, and one that seems more geared towards filmmakers than photographers. That said, it’s quite a capable performer, and we put it to work on the Nikon Z 7 in London’s Canary Wharf – take a look and please leave a comment. All images are edited to taste in Capture One Pro 12. Please click on the thumbnails for an enlarged view.…

Capture One Pro 12 review
Introduction to Capture One Pro 12 As a RAW converter and processor, Capture One Pro is highly regarded in the pressured professional circuit for its out-of-the-box colours and perfectly weighted sharpening. It’s also well-liked by studios for its unique job-by-job image management option called Sessions and the ability to tie these in with the most advanced tethering solution you’ll find anywhere. If the photographer has his camera tethered to a computer it will be running Capture One Pro. No question. Capture One Pro is also making inroads with enthusiasts and beginners. First, Sony and now Fujifilm is bundling the scaled-back version Capture One with their new cameras, and offering discounts…

NEC MultiSync PA271Q monitor review
Update December 2022: NEC has pulled out of the pro-photo market completely. I now recommend the rival the Eizo ColorEdge CS (or CG with built-in colorimeter) range. NEC MultiSync PA271Q monitor review – Introduction With outstanding image quality, the 2560 x 1440 27-inch NEC PA272W is one of my favourite displays. So I was a little discouraged to hear that it was discontinued in all its guises; MultiSync, SpectraView and SpectraView Reference. My disappointment didn’t last long, however, as NEC has announced a single replacement for all three versions, the MultiSync PA271Q. Typically, there isn’t much between updates though; a new connection standard and perhaps one or two new colour modes for out-of-the-box colour control…

Sigma UK announces pricing and availability of 40mm F1.4 Art
Sigma UK has announced that the price of the highly anticipated Sigma 40mm F1.4 DG HSM Art is to be £1099.99 inc VAT. The retail price is significantly higher than either the 35mm or 50mm F1.4 models but the new lens features a much more complex optical construction than either. As well as appealing to stills photographers for its indeterminate field of view, it is also expected to be a highly attractive option for filmmakers for the same reason. A spokesman for the company said the new lens will be available this month (November) in Sigma, Canon and Nikon mounts. When launched at Photokina, the lens was slated for October.…

Samsung anounces high resolution sensors for smartphone cameras
Samsung Electronics has launched two new high-resolution image sensors that are destined for multi-camera arrays in smartphones. The two “Isocell” sensors – a 48-megapixel and a 32-megapixel unit both feature small size 0.8 micron pixels and are crucially compact to fit the slim bodies demanded of smartphone makers. Called GM1 and GD1 respectively, the two new sensors feature Samsung’s Isocell Plus technology which adopts an innovative pixel structure that improves both light sensitivity and color fidelity, and what Samsung are calling Tetracell technology where the output from four pixels is combined into one (oversampled) for reduced noise. The sensors also support the gyro-based electronic image stabilization (EIS) technology used in…

Adobe announces update to version 8.0 of Lightroom Classic CC
At Adobe MAX 2018 in Los Angeles Adobe previewed Lightroom Classic CC version 8.0. Not to be confused with the recently introduced the cloud- and desktop- based Lightroom CC (now at version 2.0), Lightroom Classic CC is the familiar desktop-only version of the app, and is still the go-to option for enthusiasts and imaging professionals. New to this release is a highly practical and time saving HDR Panorama merge feature, that combines what was previously a two-stage process into one. This option allows both bracketed and overlapping frames with the maximal dynamic range to be stitched together to form wide or ultra-wide perspectives. It’s also available in the lastest update to Adobe…
