Adobe has just released Lightroom Classic version 10. I’m well aware that version numbers don’t mean all too much when dealing with subscription applications because features get released as soon as they’re ready for the masses and aren’t held back for a paid upgrade just as they used to be with Lightroom Classic back when it was still called Photoshop Lightroom. And of course, different companies and even different teams within the same company handle version numbers very differently....

Modern televisions have a resolution of 3840×2160 pixels which is commonly referred to as 4K. A common resolution among smartphone screens is 1920×1080 pixels. We call that resolution Full HD, FHD, or 1080p. The Nintendo Gamecube displayed video games at a resolution of 720×480 pixels or standard definition which is often shortened to SD or 480p. On my desk, I have a Fujifilm X-T4 which has a 3.69 million dot electronic viewfinder (EVF)....

Many will start a YouTube channel with the hope of someday maybe making a bit of money of it. That’s probably why you clicked on this video. But once you’ve uploaded the first couple of videos you might soon release that being able to make money on YouTube isn’t something that happens overnight. It can take a lot of time and a lot of hard work. But there are ways of monetising your channel without being a part of the YouTube partner programme....

The Zeiss ZX1 is finally up for pre-order. Yes, you read that right, the Zeiss ZX1, which was announced two years ago and subsequently all but forgotten about, will apparently ship sometime in the foreseeable future. Let me tell you why I think the Android-powered Zeiss ZX1 is a terrible idea. <div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> </div></figure> <div class="gb-button-wrapper gb-button-wrapper-bdc7af72"> <a class="gb-button gb-button-34a64be4" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsI0-Q8XvCuGPw1RPtH8nbA?sub_confirmation=1"><span class="gb-icon"><svg xmlns="https://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 576 512" width="1em" height="1em" aria-hidden="true"><path d="M549....

About a month ago I released a video in which I discussed whether us creatives should be considering the new RTX 3080 or even the absolutely insane GPU that is the RTX 3090 for our creative applications. And I came to the conclusion that we almost certainly won’t need one unless our hardware is seriously outdated. Well, we now have a definite answer as to whether we should upgrade or not....

Adobe has announced a new addition coming to a future version of Lightroom and Lightroom Classic which will please a lot of editors. Advanced Color Grading, which basically brings the Lumetri Colour panel from Premiere Pro to Lightroom, is an upgraded version of Split Toning. Anyone who previously has used Split Toning or enjoys colour grading in Premiere Pro is in for a treat. If you’ve been living under a rock and haven’t heard of this news yet, let me tell you what to expect....

The Lightroom Classic Quick Collection. That confusing field you might have never used which sits above the previous imports. The Quick Collection is not part of your custom and smart collections. Instead, it has its own little place underneath the Catalog tab. You might have dismissed the Quick Collection as a useless feature but I’m here to tell you that maybe you should reconsider that thought. Let’s take a look at how the Lightroom Classic Quick Collection works and what you can do with it....

My most recent YouTube videos have all been shot on my brand new camera: The Fujifilm X-T4. And whilst I may have recorded a few videos using it, I’m still very much getting to grips with my new system. Despite that, I want to explain why I went with the Fuji and what my first impressions of this camera are. <div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> </div></figure> <div class="gb-button-wrapper gb-button-wrapper-201c3e27"> <a class="gb-button gb-button-bdfa1e9f" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsI0-Q8XvCuGPw1RPtH8nbA?sub_confirmation=1"><span class="gb-icon"><svg aria-hidden="true" height="1em" width="1em" viewBox="0 0 576 512" xmlns="https://www....

It had to happen, didn’t it? Just a few days after the GoPro Hero 9’s specs were leaked we have a full unboxing on YouTube. This unboxing confirms the leaked specs and gives us further insight into what’s new. New packaging This unboxing confirms what had been reported earlier. The GoPro Hero 9 comes in a nice little carrying case. Considering that this version will cost more than previous GoPros you might expect a nicer packaging and the GoPro Hero 9 delivers on that front....

This might come as a surprise to you but photography isn’t exactly the cheapest of hobbies out there. Out of all the things I do it has certainly been the priciest by a long shot. My camera alone cost about three times as much as my electric guitar did. And a camera alone isn’t even all you need to get going. You will also want a tripod, of course. And a decent laptop to edit your photos....
