Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
Adobe is teasing some of its new Premiere Pro features just ahead of NAB 2013, which kicks off next week.
Over the past couple of years, Adobe has been doing a decent job of listening to customer feedback in adding features to Premiere Pro. In many instances, these added features were simply standard features picked up from Final Cut Pro 7 – things that those switching to Premiere Pro instantly missed. [Read more…]
Adobe has released final versions of Lightroom 4.4 and Camera Raw 7.4, which are now available on Adobe.com.

Additionally, Lightroom 4.4 and Camera Raw 7.4 offer RAW support for the following cameras: [Read more…]
If you have ever spent hours on end with the pen and bezier tool rotoscoping frame-by-frame in After Effects, then you’ll appreciate the magic happening with this future tech that Adobe will be showing off at NAB 2013 (and hopefully releasing inside of After Effects CS6.5). Check out the video tease below for a closer look: [Read more…]
Adobe has released Premiere Elements 11 Editor and Premiere Elements 11 Quick Editor in the Mac App Store. Premiere Elements 11 Quick features only the “Quick” editing options from the full-featured Premiere Elements 11 Editor. [Read more…]
FxFactory PRO v4 is a plug-in for popular NLE editors like Final Cut Pro X, FCP 7 and Premiere Pro CS6. I have been using FxFactory PRO v4 for a few months now in both FCP X and Premier Pro CS6. While it also works in After Effects and Motion, my use has been limited to NLEs.
FxFactory PRO v4 uses the FxFactory plug-in manager for installation and updates. I have used several plug-ins with FxFactory and find it to be one of the easiest installation processes to use with NLE plug-ins. [Read more…]
Noise Industries has a new keyer tool for FCP X, PHYX Keyer, which lets you key inside the app with a powerful set of controls so you don’t have to roundtrip to Motion or After Effects. PHYX Keyer also works in Adobe Premiere Pro, as well as After Effects and Motion. [Read more…]
Photoshop Touch is now available for the iPhone, as well as Android phones. Previously, Photoshop Touch was only available on tablet devices. [Read more…]
Adobe just announced release candidates for Lightroom 4.4 and Camera Raw 7.4, which are now available in Adobe Labs. Lightroom 4.4 and Camera Raw 7.4 offer support for the following cameras:
Additionally, the updates including corrections to the demosaic algorithms for Fujifilm cameras with the X-Trans sensor (e.g., the Fujifilm X-Pro1 and X-E1).
Remember, these are release candidates, which means they’ve been pretty well tested and Adobe thinks they are ready for full release; however, it’s recommended that you keep production work to prior versions until the official releases drop. Expect those to come soon though. Release candidates mean that the final versions are just around the corner.
Adobe Camera Raw turned 10 years old this past Tuesday. What started out as a $99 plug-in for Photoshop 7.0 became a standard feature on future versions of Photoshop and has been updated over the years to support over 400 cameras and their various RAW file formats.

Check out the above video for a sneak peak on some of the work being done by Adobe Research and the University of Michigan. PixelTone is an experimental interface for image editing.
Photo editing can be a challenging task, and it becomes even more difficult on the small, portable screens of mobile devices that are now frequently used to capture and edit images. To address this problem we present PIXELTONE, a multimodal photo editing interface that combines speech and direct manipulation. We observe existing image editing practices and derive a set of principles that guide our design. In particular, we use natural language for expressing desired changes to an image, and sketching to localize these changes to specific regions.
You can read more on PixelTone in a 9-page research paper that documents the development of this multimodel interface.
