Adobe update adds Raw support for 6 new cameras, lens profiles

By Chase Melvin Published June 5, 2014

Adobe has announced Camera Raw 8.5 Release Candidates, which includes support for five new digital cameras and several different lenses. This latest plug-in adds support for the Panasonic Lumix GH4, Olympus OM-D E-M10, Canon Powershot G1 X Mark II, Fujifilm FinePix S1, and Nikon’s 1 V3 and 1 J4.

Owners of these cameras will be able to edit their Raw image files natively in Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop Creative Cloud, though the Camera Raw 8.5 update is still an early release candidate. Creative Cloud will get some extras. They’ll be able to apply graduated neutral density and radial filter masks with brushes, add mask visualizations to those filters, and see a new per-panel preview default toggle. This update does not include Lightroom, and it’s not officially supported on Mac OS 10.6.x (Snow Leopard), Windows XP, and Windows Vista.

Google Photos just made your camera roll feel like it came with a makeup artist included, and the results are refreshingly understated.

Google Photos Touch Up feature in action.

Whether it is dark circles from a late night of work, a blemish that showed up uninvited, or something similar that could use additional brightness, Google Photos now has you covered.

Google has officially rolled out a new Touch Up suite inside its Photos app editor, integrating face retouching tools directly into the app for the first time. Previously, such adjustments were only available inside Google’s Camera app at the time of capture.

Sony is halting sales of memory cards and you have AI to blame for it

Global memory shortages driven by AI demand are now hitting cameras and storage cards.

Sony SD Card

Sony has hit pause on a major part of its storage business, and not-so-surprisingly, AI is one of the reasons behind it. The company has officially announced that it is temporarily suspending orders for most of its CFexpress and SD memory cards, citing a global shortage of semiconductor memory.

The suspension applies to both retailers and direct customers, and there’s currently no clear timeline for when sales will resume. This isn’t just a minor supply hiccup. Instead, it’s a sign of a much bigger problem brewing across the tech industry.
