sanyasi Posted June 2, 2014 Share #1 Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) According to PetaPixel, Apple will be adding features to the mobile iOS system that are designed to support photography. Apple Opens Up Manual Camera Controls & Cross-App Photo Editing in iOS 8 I am not sure I understand everything PetaPixel reported. My questions: What are implications for interactions between the M and an iPad equipped with the new operating system? Will we need to rely on Leica to exploit these, or is this something that 3rd party developers might exploit for us? The other good news: Apple looks to be driving down the price of photo storage in the cloud. You will be able to store 200 GB in the cloud for just under $50 a year. A plan will be available for up to 1 TB of storage, but no price was announced. Apparently you will be able to store photos in all formats, which could mean DNG and PSD, although the story I read did not mention those file types specifically. Even if you are not a Mac user, this could have a positive impact on pricing by providers of similar services.

richfx Posted August 23, 2014 Share #2 Posted August 23, 2014 The bad news is that Apple has decided to abandon Aperture. Steve Jobs, a reputed Leicaphile, must be turning in his grave (or wherever he is at the moment). So, the inevitable migration to Lightroom must occur. I'm somewhat surprised that Adobe has not moved quickly to offer Aperture users who will be jumping from Apple's ship a smooth and seamless migration path. You'd think that doing so would be a huge priority for Adobe after being handed this tremendous gift from a company (Apple) that I no longer recognize or have much faith in.

tobey bilek Posted August 30, 2014 Share #3 Posted August 30, 2014 Capture one and Light Zone are very capable. I really dislike LR . EVERYTHING is harder than photoshop/bridge. When you rent software, you are like a drug addict who always needs the next fix, ie make a payment or the world ends. I can afford it, it is the principle.

I see no reason that cloud storage should not accept any image file type we can store on our own hard drive unless they arbitrarily prohibit such.

DigitalHeMan Posted August 30, 2014 Share #5 Posted August 30, 2014 Capture one and Light Zone are very capable. I really dislike LR . EVERYTHING is harder than photoshop/bridge. Take some time to get used to it. All computer software can appear hard at first When you rent software, you are like a drug addict who always needs the next fix, ie make a payment or the world ends. I can afford it, it is the principle. Personally I find it a very nice model. €10 per month and always the latest version. I don't see the comparison with drug users at all...

k-hawinkler Posted August 30, 2014 Share #6 Posted August 30, 2014 It won't stay at $10! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalHeMan Posted August 30, 2014 Share #7 Posted August 30, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) It won't stay at $10! Of course nothing stays at the same price, but I wouldn't expect it to go up by much. They are following approx an 18 month release cycle for major versions, and 10$ per month means you pay approx the same through the subscription as you would if you were to by yeah major release.

k-hawinkler Posted August 30, 2014 Share #8 Posted August 30, 2014 No, I don't pay any longer. I stick with LR5 and CS6. If they stop updating those applications for new cameras I just keep using my current cameras. If enough folks do that camera sales will decline even more. Great going, Adobe! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattMaber Posted September 5, 2014 Share #10 Posted September 5, 2014 Whilst Apple are dropping future updates for Aperture, they do say it wll be supported by the next OS X so I dont see the reason run screaming to Adobe's hideous LR UX quite yet.

pico Posted September 6, 2014 Share #11 Posted September 6, 2014 Whilst Apple are dropping future updates for Aperture, they do say it wll be supported . For coders the Apple library has a rich library for imaging support. It is a joy for us. Apple is awesome in that regard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
