Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
In the above video, Adobe’s Julieanne Kost shows us how to create composites using these three image blending techniques in Photoshop. It’s a short video but these are great techniques for working with layers and masks, along with good references to shortcut keys to make your workflow more efficient.
Adobe Lightroom is now available in the Mac App Store with the Lightroom subscription plan for $9.99 per month billed through the Mac App Store. The app is available to download for free and comes with a free week of use, then the subscription will be billed monthly through your Apple account.
Notably, it appears to offer only the Lightroom Subscription Plan, which gives you Lightroom access and 1TB of cloud storage with Adobe. The Photography Plan that includes Photoshop does not appear to be available with the Mac App Store version of Lightroom. [Read more…]

Adobe has been sending out notices of price increases for its Creative Cloud subscription plans the past week or so. I got mine earlier this week.

Here’s a super short video that shows us how to copy develop settings from one photo to another using Lightroom. I use each of these methods fairly often with the exception of the fourth technique. I can’t say that I’ve ever used Auto Sync – and I can’t think of a time when I’ve ever needed to use it.
ON1 Photo RAW 2018 is now officially out of beta and available for purchase. With several new features, the ON1 Photo RAW 2018 looks to capture some of Adobe Lightroom’s market share from those photographers who are not inclined to continue down the subscription path as Adobe locks future upgrades for Lightroom to its subscription-only Creative Cloud plan.
If you missed out on the beta, ON1 will still let you download the full version of Photo RAW 2018 for a 30-day trial period to kick the tires. You can download it here from ON1’s website.
Back in 2013, we all saw the writing on the wall when Adobe killed its Creative Suite perpetual licenses and Photoshop CS6 became the last version you could buy and keep forever. While Adobe kept delivering some bug fixes and RAW file support for CS6 for awhile, eventually, that stopped.
Now, Lightroom 6 is getting the same treatment. Worse still, is that there are no RAW file updates planned for future cameras in Lightroom 6. Lightroom CC will be the only game in Adobe-town going forward. And, Lightroom CC has plenty of changes as well. [Read more…]
It’s that time of the year again when Adobe releases updates for its Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements apps. The 2018 versions of the apps offer improved organization, automated editing and new Guided Edits that walk you through how to edit and create.
Adobe Elements Organizer 2018 now automatically curates your photos based on quality, faces, subjects and more. You can also build slideshows of your curated photos and videos with one-click. 67 new guided edits offer step-by-step instructions for tasks like swapping backgrounds, creating double exposures, adding overlay effects and more.
Note also that Adobe changed the naming scheme to match the year, so that Photoshop Elements 2018 is the replacement for Photoshop Elements 15 (released in 2016).
You can find out more of the new features on the Photoshop Blog. Adobe Photoshop Elements 2018 is available now for $99.99. Check it out here at B&H Photo and Amazon.com. Likewise, Premiere Elements 2018 is available for $99.99. Check it out here at B&H Photo and Amazon.com. The combo of the two apps is also available for $149.99, which you can find here at B&H Photo.
