List of questionable reports about new products “rumored” to be announced for Photokina

By PR admin | Published: September 15, 2018

As I already reported, the Sony product announcement at the IBC 2018 show yesterday was not photography related: Sony announced only two new camcorders (HXR-NX200 and HDC-3500). No new Sony a6500 replacement or a Sony a7sIII cameras were announced at the IBC show yesterday as some websites have suggested. There was also no Zeiss Batis 40mm f/2 CF FE lens announcement on September 10th as some websites have suggested… as I already reported as well…

Here is a list of questionable reports that can be found online about new products “rumored” to be announced for Photokina:

Adobe reports record revenue (again) + list of Adobe Lightroom/Photoshop alternative

By PR admin | Published: September 14, 2018

This is my sixth “Adobe reports record revenue (again)” post and while I am very happy that Adobe is doing well, I think they should bring back the standalone licensing option for their photo editing software if they really care about their customers (they won’t and they don’t) – not everyone wants to be locked to a monthly payment plan forever.

Here is a list of Adobe Lightroom/Photoshop alternatives:

Luminar
Affinity photo (now 30% off)
Photlemur
ON1 Photo RAW
Capture One
Alien Skin
DxO PhotoLab
DxO Optics
Corel PaintShop Pro (Windows only)
GIMP
Pixelmator (Mac only)
Photo Mechanic
LightZone
Raw Photo Processor
Photo Ninja
Nikon Capture NX-D (now with “Color Control Point” feature)
Iridient Digital
Nik Collection
Corel Aftershot Pro
DarkTable (now also available for Windows)
Raw Therapee
Silkypix
ACDSee Photo Studio (Windows only)
AKVIS AliveColors
Photivo
Hdrsoft Photomatix Pro 6.0

And here are the latest Adobe financial highlights:
