What You Need to Know About the MacBook Pro Retina Display for Photoshop, Lightroom And Photographers

One of the questions I’ve been getting asked a TON lately is about the new MacBook Pros with Retina display and how they work for Photoshop, Lightroom and for photographers in general. Well, I’ve been kicking the tires on one for about a week now, so I thought I’d give you my initial thoughts.

Sigma SD1 Merrill

The SD1 Merrill is practically moiré-proof, making it a great choice for shooting fashion where detail counts and high-frequency patterns abound.

PG-02 Full Gimbal Head

When the folks at Really Right Stuff put their mind to a new product, they don’t just do it halfway. And their new PG-02 Full Gimbal Head is no exception! I decided to order one for myself after seeing it in use on a field trip to Florida.

Oloneo HDRengine

The folks at Oloneo are trying to make it easier with the release of their new HDRengine standalone program that’s aimed at both the hardcore HDR crowd and new users who want to get HDR images quickly with a lot of control. Loaded with features, you can import RAW files, merge multiple images/exposures, and also tone map a single exposure.

Leica V-Lux 3

Bordering the world of DSLRs – and sharing many of the same sophisticated features – is a breed of high-end, compact, point-and-shoot cameras. Leica has just released one of those: their new V-Lux 3.

HDR Expose 2

Processing HDR images to get just the right effect can be as much art as science. The new HDR Expose 2 from Unified Color Technologies (UCT) aims to help you find the right balance between the two, so you get just the finished image you want without headaches and frustration.

Corel AfterShot Pro

Corel’s first professional photo catalog and RAW editing software, AfterShot Pro, is based on a number of technologies—Bibble Pro, Noise Ninja, and Perfectly Clear—that are widely known and respected in the photography world. It’s available for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux.

FlightCheck Professional 6.8

Designers and production artists have always used checklists to make sure something important wasn’t overlooked, but FlightCheck was the first software to automate the process.

Nikon J1

Nikon has entered the mirrorless camera market with a strong start by introducing their new Nikon 1 system, which includes the J1 and V1 cameras.

Perfect365

Beauty in a box? Believe it or not, here s an interesting program that really allows you to do complete makeovers on your images with the click of a button and Intensity sliders.
