One of the great things about tablets is that they incredibly light (for the most part) and portable, and they usually come with pretty nice displays too, which makes it a pretty handy tool for photographers to transfer photos on to edit or for viewing purposes. Sure, a laptop could get the job done but in the field, a tablet would admittedly be a lot more convenient. In any case photographers who do a lot of field work might be interested to learn that Adobe Lightroom could be making its way onto the iPad very soon, thanks to a recent leak.
The leak was actually spotted on the company’s website where references to the app were made. In fact it even went as far as letting customers pay for the mobile version of Lightroom which was set at a subscription fee of $99 per year, with the fees mainly due to its cloud storage where Adobe will be able to sync files between the iPad, Mac, and Windows version of its software, so photographers can not only edit their work in the field, but also continue to work on them on their computers when they go back seamlessly. Lightroom for the iPad is not out of the question as earlier in 2013, the company demonstrated similar technology. No word on when Lightroom for the iPad will be launched, but given the recent leak, we can only assume it won’t be too long until we hear the confirmation ourselves.

Adobe announced today that, for a limited time, it will offer a $9.99 per month subscription package to Creative Cloud as a part of its Photography Program. Naturally, there are a few caveats involved: the offer is available only to existing Creative Suite customers who own Photoshop CS3 or above and sign-ups close on December 31, 2013. The low price tag won’t get you the full Creative Cloud treatment; the Photography Program will grant you access to the diet version, which includes Photoshop CC, Lightroom 5, Behance ProSite access and 20GB of storage space. It’s a smart move on Adobe’s part, considering that the company has been fielding complaints from disgruntled customers over its subscription pricing model. You’ll have to wait until September 17th for the offer to go live, but the good news is that the $9.99 monthly rate isn’t an introductory price, therefore it won’t increase so long as your account remains active.

Composite lighting technique lets amateurs produce well-lit photos in minutes (video)
Posted in: Today's Chili
Hobbyist photographers don’t often have the luxury of elaborate lighting rigs. However, Adobe and Cornell University have developed a new software technique that could bring pro-grade illumination to a wider audience. Known as computational lighting design, the solution simplifies a familiar trick that combines shots taken with a camera’s external flash placed in different positions. The software uses multiple sample photos to create composite images that emphasize color, edge lighting and fill lighting; editors just have to balance those three light values to get the desired effect. While the code is still unpolished, it’s good enough that even beginners can produce well-lit masterpieces in less than 15 minutes. Adobe believes that the technique could reach future versions of apps like Lightroom or Photoshop, so don’t be surprised if still-life photography catches on in the near future.

Adobe Lightroom 5 Is Available Now
Posted in: Today's Chili
Jun 09
Adobe teased us with a Photoshop Lightroom 5 beta at the start of the spring, and it’s closing out the season by releasing the finished goods. Mac- and Windows-based shutterbugs can download the completed image management app today, either at no extra charge through a Creative Cloud subscription or $149 for a stand-alone version ($79 for an upgrade). Buyers get the same core updates no matter how much they spend, including an Advanced Healing Brush for removing objects and Smart Previews that let travelers leave their original files at home. Behance publishing is also part of the revision. When Lightroom is free to try for a month, it likely won’t hurt to grab a copy at the source link — especially if your photo collection is growing out of hand.

As it stands, Adobe has Photoshop Touch available for both iOS and Android, allowing users to edit images while on the go. However for the more professional photographer who might have a different work process, how does the idea of Lightroom on a mobile device sound to you? While we cannot ascertain that Adobe is indeed working on a version of Lightroom for iOS, they are working on something that appears to be pretty similar which could very well turn out to be Lightroom for iOS upon its release.
This software was spotted recently during Kelby Training’s web show, The Grid, as it was shown off by Adobe Lightroom’s product manager, Tom Hogarty. The app ran on a tablet and some of its features appeared to be similar to what Lightroom for the computer offers, such as exposure adjusting, clarity, shadows, highlights, white balance, and even the ability to edit images captured in the RAW format. If you’re a fan of Lightroom and wouldn’t mind see it make its way onto iOS or tablets in general, check out the video below (the app makes an appearance around the 18:10 mark).

Adobe working on Lightroom for iOS, uses cloud compute to edit RAW files (video)
Posted in: Today's Chili
Photoshop Touch? Bah. Real photographers use Lightroom, but since the software makes your average PC sweat, you’re not likely to see it available on a tablet. Adobe, however, thinks that it can get around the limitations of mobile hardware with a cloud-connected version of Lightroom that’d let iOS users edit RAW files on the go. In the latest episode of The Grid, Lightroom chief Tom Hogarty showed off an early build of the app on his iPad 2, which uses Smart Previews to show users the changes that they’re making while the grunt-work is handled elsewhere. Naturally, Hogarty wouldn’t commit to a launch window, but if you’d like a glimpse of the future, head on past the break and start watching the video at the 19-minute mark.
