Colorizing a black and white image in Photoshop requires a huge amount of time, and not to mention that you need exceptional skill to do it. A year ago, Richard Zhang and a team at University of California revealed Algoritmia, an app that does it automatically. It was fun to play with it, but there was still plenty of room for improvement. Now, a year later, they have found a new approach. And this time, the results are way more impressive.

GoPro buys out two video editing startups for $105 million to boost its software
Action cam manufacturer GoPro has been in hot water lately, between recent lawsuits and steadily-declining stocks. But that isn’t stopping them from trying to up their game with the help of a few new acquisitions.
Earlier this week, GoPro announced it has acquired Paris-based Stupeflix and Austin, Texas-based Vemory in a deal totaling $105 million in stock and cash.[Read More…]
DaVinci Resolve 12 Beta Is Here – World’s ‘Most Advanced’ Non-Linear Video Editor
Back in May we had shared that the upcoming release of DaVinci Resolve 12 may just be the most awesome editor for budget filmmakers. The only problem was, it hadn’t been released yet.
Today, however, we are happy to announce that version 12 has been released in beta (and I’m currently downloading it)!
Sony and Olympus Release Firmware Updates for a6000, a7, a7R, a7S, E-M1 and E-M5 Mark II
Just days after announcing the extraordinary a7R II, Sony has announced the 2.0 software version for its popular a6000, a7, a7R and a7S.
Reducing the start-up time for all cameras, and brining XAVC-S recording to the a6000, the download links should become available shortly.
Olympus also released firmware updates for two of its E-system cameras: the E-M1 and E-M5 Mark II.
DaVinci Resolve 12 may be the answer for budget filmmakers
DaVinci Resolve has been renown for its color grading capabilities for while, and they made me one happy freeloader when they started offering a pared-down version of their software at no cost. But, one major thing DaVinci lacked was the total control of a non-lineal editor. Now, with the upcoming release of DaVinci Resolve 12, you get the best of both worlds.
A Sneak Peek at Lightroom CC’s Upcoming Dehaze Tool
Lightroom CC was announced just over a month ago, and Adobe is already offering a sneak peek of a yet-to-be-released feature that could become a landscape photographer’s best friend.
Adobe Evangelist Terry White walks viewers through the new dehaze slider, showing just how incredibly effective it is, but also how other photographers can use it for a dramatic effect.
Microsoft ‘Hyperlapse’ Released; Creates Time Lapses from POV Videos
Time to get out all the first-person footage you captured with your GoPro, but never touched, as Microsoft finally released its Hyperlapse technology.
Capable of turning standard lengthy videos into smooth and stabilized time lapses, you can expect to see a significant bump in time lapse videos in the near future.
The software is available in one form or another to Windows, Windows Azure, Windows Mobile and Android users.
Microsoft seems thrilled about the release; just don’t confuse it with Instagram’s Hyperlapse app.
Adobe’s GPU Acceleration is Not That Great After All. Yet.
One of the celebrated improvements in Lightroom CC is the faster performance, said to be up to ten times faster, thanks to the software’s ability to leverage the graphic processor unit (GPU).
A few days after the official release, however, an Adobe engineer shared additional information regarding GPU acceleration and turns out it might not be all that great. Not right now, at least, and not for everybody.
At the moment GPU acceleration is only available in the Develop module, and even then not all editing controls enjoy it.
Additionally, while GPU implementation offers no advantage for some functions, certain others will actually take longer with the acceleration enabled.
This information also applies to Camera Raw 9.0 for Photoshop/Bridge CC.
