Five Technologies We Want (But Won't Get)
In truth, manufacturers have been locked in a decade-long race for their lives as the camera product-cycle shrank from years to months and the race to ever-greater numbers of megapixels dominated the development and consumption subcultures. But now we find ourselves at a plateau of sorts. The megapixel race is largely over. Cameras are actually sticking around on the market long enough for people to actually wear them out. Perhaps the paradigm is shifting back to a development pace we used to see with film. Perhaps it’s time for some real innovation to re-enter the equation.

The Adobe Carousel team answers reader questions
The big idea around Adobe Carousel is that all your devices should have access to the same photos and photo editing tools. There is a Carousel desktop app, along with a tablet app, and a smartphone app. It’s up to you to decide how you want to engage with your photo library from each device. You also have a choice about which friends and family you want to team up with on a photo library.

Nik Software released the fourth version of Color Effex Pro, their popular Photoshop, Lightroom, and Aperture plugin. Like Photoshop actions, CEP4 allows photographers to quickly combine multiple small adjustments into different treatments or filters. But unlike actions, and even its own previous versions, CEP4 has a stand-alone user interface that makes adding and blending multiple enhancements fast, easy, and intuitive.

Photoshop Touch for iPad is here!
Now, let me anticipate two questions which go hand in hand: Why does the app require an iPad 2, and why is the maximum image size 1600x1600px? The iPad 2 has twice the RAM, twice the processing cores, and ~5x the graphics grunt of the iPad 1. PS Touch brings some seriously powerful algorithms (e.g. Refine Edge) from the desktop to mobile, and we wanted to ensure a good match between hardware & image size. The app is geared more towards remixing photos & sharing them onscreen than towards print work; having said that, note that a 1600×1600 doc could be printed at 10.6×10.6″ at 150dpi.
