Are the AMD Radeon Rx 6800 XT & RX 6800 good for creators?

You might have noticed that it wasn’t just Apple who launched brand new and potentially revolutionary hardware during the last week. AMD Radeon launched the RX 6800 XT and RX 6800, which are for the first time in many years, comparable to what NVIDIA is offering at the higher end in terms of performance and pricing.

Lightroom vs. Photoshop – What’s the difference?

People unfamiliar with how editing works will often ask me if I photoshop my pictures in order to make them look better. While I do often use Photoshop to remove people in landscapes and unwanted branches reaching into photos, the bulk of my work is actually done in Lightroom. Well, what is Lightroom then?
