"A picture," so the old saw goes, "is worth a thousand words." That may well be so, but if researchers at the University of Michigan and Adobe Research get their way, a few sentences could soon be sufficient to make that picture just a little bit more worthy. Their creation, a prototypical, voice-activated image editor called PixelTone, lets...

Last month, Adobe issued release candidates of several updates for Photoshop Lightroom, Camera Raw and DNG Converter. Those updates have now been finalized, squashing another raft of bugs and adding support for a healthy selection of new cameras and lenses, as well as a couple of camcorders.

Last night, Adobe revealed updates to a couple of its Creative Suite 6 applications -- Photoshop included -- that enabled support for HiDPI, Retina-branded displays as seen in the latest MacBook Pro notebooks from Apple. Today, it turns out that Retina support isn't the only change made in Adobe Photoshop CS6 but it's the only change you're...
For photographers, the latest-generation Apple MacBook Pro notebooks are mighty appealing thanks to their extremely high-resolution displays. All those extra pixels let you see more of your images on-screen at once without discarding the fine detail. Even if you fit your image to the screen, you're still looking at a full five megapixels of...
Desktop and notebook computers have improved in a lot of ways over the last decade: processors have gotten faster, storage capacities have soared, and so has the amount of memory. In one respect, though, there's been surprisingly little development for quite a long time. Although display resolutions have increased, they've climbed more slowly...
In his Digital Imaging Crawl Space, Adobe Product Manager in Digital Imaging Jeff Tranberry has documented his hardware and software recommendations for tuning Photoshop CS6 for faster performance.

It's that time again, fans of the bleeding edge: Adobe has just issued release candidate versions of Camera Raw 7.2, DNG Converter 7.2, and Lightroom 4.2. All three share support for much the same raft of brand-new cameras and camera backs. The release candidates of Lightroom and Camera Raw also fix a variety of bugs found in their previous incarnations, and the latter adds...
The cloud is not enough, Revel Product Manager Sumner Paine told us in July.
With our photos scattered across our phones, tablets and multiple computers, a lot of companies want you to store your collection in their cloud. But they're missing an essential ingredient, Paine said.
That's a great photo app that runs on...
Each year, the European Imaging and Sound Association comes together to vote on its annual EISA awards. A wide range of categories are covered, including everything from in-car electronics to mobile devices. Photo products are in the mix, and while we don't typically cover industry awards, EISA's photo awards are a little more illuminating than most. That's because they're voted...

The advent of programs like Adobe's Photoshop Lightroom and Apple's Aperture has been a great boon to photographers. It's greatly simplified the digital darkroom, by combining asset management and image processing (or developing, if you prefer) into a single, user-friendly tool.
That's not to say that it's simple, however. There's still a lot to learn for users of both...

Earlier this year, Adobe launched the Creative Cloud alongside the debut of its new Creative Suite 6 product line. At the time, the company suggested that one of the main advantages to...
