Technicolor CineLights at CES

Deep inside the Technicolor booth at CES 2012 was a small table showing off some new color correction software from the same company that brought CineStyles to our Canon HDSLRs last year.

I spent awhile talking to the Adobe folks about Lightroom 4 and going through the new features. A few things really stand out… [Read more…]
