9to5Mac: iPhone 6s and iPhone SE 4K Video

A brief comparison of 4K video shot with the iPhone 6s and iPhone SE. If both look similar, it's because they should look that way. The specs on both cameras are the same. Full post: = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Subscribe!

The above video is a testament to how far phone cameras have progressed. But what a random clutch of subjects and angles to choose in comparing video function of both phones.

Use the iPad Pro like a Wacom Cintiq

Using Astropad (http://www.astropad.com), I turned my iPad Pro and Apple Pencil into a Wacom Cintiq-like tablet for my Mac and Photoshop. I love this tech, and can't wait to see what other artists do with it.

Assuming the kinks are worked out of the latest Astropad beta, the iPad Pro could disrupt compact direct-input screens built for artists and photographers.

Snazzy Labs previews Photos for Yosemite

iPhoto is one of the reasons that I used to recommend Macs to my friends and family. It was the first easy, quick, and clean solution for consumers to manage and edit digital photos. Over the years it started getting really slow and problematic so Apple finally decided to give it the ax-and I couldn't be happier.

Great preview of Photos preview for OSX Yosemite 10,10,3. Looks like a great upgrade to iPhoto, (and a big downgrade to the functionality of Aperture). 

Apple retail employees testing OSX Photos application

9to5 Mac reports that Photos, which will replace both iPhoto, and Aperture, next year, is being tested by Apple Store retail employees. Photos will, of course, utilise Apple's RAW de-mosaic engine.

“We are seeking a technical and passionate photography enthusiast to join our Quality Assurance team working on Photos for OS X. You will be part of a fast moving team of specialists tasked with delivering the next generation of photography tools for Apple.”

DPReview: Using the MacBook Air in a pro workflow

Portable workstations are a thing of reality. And to heavy-geared togs, they are miraculous things. DPReview's David Schloss seems to think so.

“The result is that my total number of images the second day of the shoot rose by more than 100% compared to the first day, but more importantly the managers were able to use more of the images, as I was doing the first pass of editing in the field and spending more time actually shooting images instead of running them across a theater.”
