DxO Labs introduced DxO Filmpack 3.1. This slightly updated version has 25 new creative looks and several UI enhancements. The new looks are under a separate tab from the color and B&W film looks and include several vintage effects and film-inspired filters that expand on FilmPack’s library of film emulations. The UI enhancements include screen views, hot key undo and redo, and variable sizing for the “film strip” of thumbnails showing the looks available.

Without Computer Security, Sources’ Secrets Aren’t Safe With Journalists
Opinion | When Secrets Aren’t Safe With Journalists
Often, anonymous sources have been exposed by a journalist’s use of insecure communications.
Sadly, operational computer security is still not taught in most journalism schools, and poor data security practices remain widespread in news organizations. Confidential information is sent over regular phone lines and via text messages and e-mail, all of which are easy to intercept. Few journalists use secure-communication tools, even ones that are widely available and easy to use.
