I received this picture from a reader of what appears to be the rumored Panasonic Lumix G9 MFT camera:
While this picture comes from a new source, I did some comparisons with the current G85 version (pictured below) and you can clearly see how Panasonic moved one of the top dials in order to make space for the new top LCD screen I already reported about last week:
I also have an updated list of Panasonic Lumix G9 specifications (initially reported here):
Luminar 2018 for Mac & PC is now available for pre-order. The new version includes new filters powered by artificial intelligence, speed improvements, a dedicated RAW develop module, new intelligent Sun Rays filter, LUT support, and real-time noise removal and a forthcoming in 2018: a digital asset management platform.
Luminar 2018 has been re-built from the ground up for faster performance. Existing filters deliver richer colors and depth in less time. A new streamlined user interface speeds up working with presets, filters, and masks. With full support of pro options like layers, masks, and blending modes, complex repairs and photo composites can be easily accomplished.

When Adobe released the latest Lightroom 6.13 last week, they indicated that there will be one more final standalone release that will be out by the end of the year.
At that point, it is probably a good idea to download a copy of the latest Lightroom standalone version from this page and keep it for your records as a backup because I am pretty sure that Adobe will remove the download from their website at some point. They have already been trying to "hide" the download link for a while now. The latest Lightroom Classic CC 7.0.1 also just automatically removes your local LR installation - see this page for more info on how to bring it back.
The current Adobe CC plan rates can be found here. You can get a free Lightroom CC trial on this page (no credit card required.).
