Google allows for full-sized photo backups — including the newly launched functionality from desktop — on its social network, something it says results in a lot of Google+ users storing RAW photo files. When RAW photographs are viewed, a RAW-to-JPEG conversion takes place so that file size is kept low and the speed of the […]
If you’ve been paying much attention to Google+, you already know that the social network is doing its damnedest to become the go-to destination for photographers. Accordingly, it’s attracted a number of RAW format enthusiasts — thanks to the ability to store full-size photos — and to make their lives a little better, Google+ is introducing a new RAW-to-JPEG conversion method that offers noticeably better results. Over 70 cameras from Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic and Sony are supported as of today, and Google says that it’ll add additional models over time. Since Google+ automatically converts RAW photos to JPEG for viewing purposes (while retaining the original), the new conversion method should be readily apparent. You can view the complete list of supported cameras after the break, and as for the improved quality of conversions, go ahead and have a look for yourself. Hopefully your eyes agree with Google’s claim.

This inevitably washes out your photos and renders skin tones leprotic and wan. There’s no way around it — unless you move the flash off-camera. But this […]
Instagram may have missed the initial iOS 7 update run last week, but the retooled iPhone app is good to go now. Version 4.2, available for download today, brings design tweaks that mesh better with the latest iOS, with a slightly simpler interface and rounded profile pictures in the feed. Additionally, photos and video are a bit larger, and the resolution has been increased as well, enabling a better viewing experience overall. Instagram for iOS 7 can be yours right now. You’ll find the download at the source link below.

You know that photo of Teddy Roosevelt riding a moose? The one you’ll find on lists like Cracked’s "18 Old-Timey Photos You Won’t Believe Aren’t Photoshopped" and submitted to Imgur about every two weeks as an example of extreme manliness? Well, it turns out it’s a fake.

What you’re looking at is not a real fighter plane. It’s a scale model that photographer Dan Ledesma shot to look like a real, full-sized jet. Badass.
