Adobe has faced quite a bit of a backlash across the web from commentors and creators due to the pricing and the decision to go for cloud updates. Though most of us here mostly get all we need done in Lightroom, Photoshop is still a big part of our community. Digital Camera Info recently put together an infographic to totally figure out the pricing plan and structure: making it easy for everyone to look at all that info in one spot.
The infographic is below, and for businesses and independent studios it seems like this may still be an excellent option.

We’re doing this series twice this week because we missed last week. Sorry folks! Anyway, there are some photos that are a heck of a lot more clever than we ever thought. Then when we find out how they were done, we say to ourselves, “Why didn’t I think of that?” Upon searching for the word, “Strobist” on 500px, I came across Stéphane Pironon’s “Weightlessness.” The image looked so simple but I couldn’t totally figure out how it was done. He did this photo when he was a member of the Strobi team, Stéphane is quite a photographer himself and has some excellent fashion work along with other photographs.
Here’s his story. And if you’re interested check out more in our Creating the Photograph series.

Dear Charlie,
You’ve asked me in evaluating your work to be brutally honest. Admittedly, it’s something that other photographers have asked for, but I’ve always been reticent about honestly fulfilling such a request. I have often perceived it as the equivalent of a wife or girlfriend asking, “Do I look fat in this?” A frank, honest answer to that question is likely not going to end well.
However, you have been insistent about receiving such concise, unrestrained and to-the-point-feedback. So, I feel inspired to share with you why your pictures suck.

Some photos have such a beautiful and simple look to them, but most people have absolutely no idea how they were lit. Upon searching for, “Strobist” on 500PX, I came across the work of László Nagy. He curates loads of awesome photos on his Tumblr, and is also a hobbyist photographer–these two combine to give him quite the eye for details. The way he created the photo above is quite simple in one way but that also utilizes a trick that many of us sometimes forget.
Here’s his story. And if you’re interested check out more in our Creating the Photograph series.
