Here’s what I think people want to know: Is Photoshop’s PSD format a goofy, antiquated piece of crap, and by extension is Photoshop slow, clumsy, and/or outdated?
No. (Read on for details.)

It’s very compact due to the sensor being smaller and the omission of a mirror box. It has full manual controls for ISO. You can change the shutter and iris manually WHILST filming, no exposure lock needed. It has an autofocus that works pretty well whilst recording, both in centre frame mode and using facial recognition mode, something I have recently found outstanding on the little Canon VIXIA HF20. The ability to have full manual controls should not be underestimated. At the click of the dial on the front you can switch between aperture and iris. This can be done whilst shooting.

Clipstart complements your photo application to give you a place that is designed for home movies. Import your movies, tag, search, and upload with one click to Flickr and Vimeo. You can even quickly upload a trimmed portion of a movie without needing to save a new copy. If you have dozens or hundreds of short movies from a Flip or video camera, Clipstart provides the workflow to finally make sense of them.

I have been very impressed by the research that PhotoShelter has done on photographer’s websites and SEO. Few if any companies are providing this kind of valuable information for photographers. I asked Allen to write a guest post for us that would get everyone thinking about photography and SEO. Whether or not you use PhotoShelter, you can benefit from their research. I found it compelling and hope you do too.

Reporters like to think of themselves as essential to the national well-being, which might be just one more measure of how out of touch we are, but journalists are not the only ones who are suggesting as much.

It seems to me that this musuem’s policy is simply another example of a museum who lets some power hungry curator draft some totally daft policy that is both unenforceable and in direct conflict with it’s mission statement.

Electronic Frontier Foundation says:
In posting the photos, the White House chose the least restrictive license available, a Creative Commons Attribution license — which means the public is free to download, copy, and re-mix freely, so long as the original photographer is credited.
While this is certainly better than releasing the photos under the usual copyright rules (no use without permission, specific license and compensation), the license made us wonder: if these are official photos by the official White House photographer, aren’t they government works? If so, they aren’t copyrightable, which means they needn’t be licensed at all, but should instead be flagged as public domain.

From Prison Photography:
Yana Payusova’s Russian Prison Series is a complex portrait with embedded cultural memes and fierce visual détournement. It is a strong and commited project. Russian Prisons Series, painted photographs of forgotten incarcerated Russian youth is Payusova’s most extensive use of photogaphy in her many series

Book reviews aren’t something we do a lot of here on Gadget Lab, but we have to call out the quite excellent “Hot Shoe Diaries” by Joe McNally, a bible for anyone thinking about using small strobes in their photography.

the recent release of Justice Department memos authorizing the use of harsh interrogation techniques has given Graner and other soldiers new reason to argue that they were made scapegoats for policies approved at high levels. They also contend that the government’s refusal to acknowledge those polices when Graner and others were tried undermined their legal defenses

From A Photo Editor – SPD Photography Award Nominees Online Now:I love seeing incredible photography in a well designed page. In the end the design can make or break the impact of the photography. There’s some great designers out there but it usually comes down to whether or not the editor will let them do their thing.
