I recently did tests with Sophie from England, so today, while briefly discussing NikCollection 6, you will see her photos. The agency that represents her in Thailand is quite specific because it specializes in models with partially Asian facial features, while other agencies in Bangkok also have plenty of typically white models. Unlike many “normal” […]
As one of the biggest advantages of Macs, I always mention Setapp – a set of hundreds of paid applications that instead of buying individually for a high price, you can have them all in one cheap subscription. There is nothing similar on Windows. When I first wrote Setapp many years ago, it […]
If you have low-resolution, blurry, and/or noisy photos, it is very possible that Topaz Photo AI is a tool for you. We are talking about both amateur and professional photoshoots. The subject matter is also very broad – it works with photos of people, nature, macro, etc. Update: April 2023. I decided to check if […]
I needed a powerful graphics card for purposes unrelated to photography, but unfortunately Macs do not support such GPUs. So the only thing left to do was to buy a better card and switch to Windows. Initially, I was going to use 2 computers, but I decided to check if I could live on one. So, I have been using Windows for less than 1.5 years, and for several months exclusively [...]
Only one application lets you plan the lighting for a photo shoot on a computer and see what the final image will look like. It has a very peculiar name: set.a.light 3D. Fortunately, it’s available for both Windows and macOS. I’ve used it since 2017, but it changed enormously over that time, most importantly with the release of version two. This […]
I have no doubt that Lightroom CC will eventually replace the Classic version completely. Apart from saving Adobe the cost of developing two “identical” programs, LR CC is simply much better optimized because it was written relatively recently with current-generation hardware in mind, while LR Classic is a lumbering beast with new code constantly bolted onto it […]
We had known for a year that a full version of Photoshop was coming to the iPad, but it was only released yesterday. As announced, only some features are available at first, while the rest will be added until it reaches the full functionality of desktop PS. Let’s start with how the whole thing works. Photoshop performs very well on the 10.5-inch iPad Pro—[…]
Many monitors are capable of displaying more intense colors than those in the “palette” used on the internet. The advantage is if the software used can handle it and doesn’t cause what should be a faded green to glow like a radioactive leak. Why are colors in Photoshop different than in an internet browser? Why […]
The more shoots I do, the harder it is to manage all my photos sensibly. To me, sensible means always having instant access to the files I need. My old method was poor because it relied entirely on putting photos in specific folders. I'll explain in a moment why that was a weak solution, but the important part is that I've finally replaced it with […]
By now, almost everyone has probably heard that Nik Collection, a set of plugins for Photoshop, Lightroom, and other applications, is now available for free. It used to cost several thousand zlotys, and after Google acquired the company the price dropped to around 500 PLN. Now the entire collection is free to download, while anyone who bought it in 2016 will receive a refund. I mentioned […]
Many people have absolutely no idea what Creative Cloud is about or how buying Photoshop as a subscription instead of in a box works, so I'll try to explain how it works and whether it's worth it at all. Evolution Between Photoshop CS2 and the versions that followed, all the way through CS5.5, I didn't see much difference. The move from 32-bit to 64-bit was […]
I have been using a Mac Mini for a year and a half. Many people who visit me ask, “what is that?”. To anyone familiar with Apple products, such a small computer is perfectly normal, but it turns out the average person usually has no idea how small a desktop computer can be (while retaining performance similar to a 15-kilogram box). It is an excellent machine for […]
