Adobe has launched new beta versions of Premiere Pro, Premiere Rush and Audition designed specifically for the Apple M1 ARM-based chipsets. Remember, they are beta versions, so not everything is fully working yet, but the new Adobe updates are designed to take advantage of the improved performance and energy efficiency that Apple’s new M1 systems offer. As with Photoshop, these are large applications that are going to take a lot of re-writing to be able to take full advantage of the M1 chipset....

We tend to think we’re quite privileged here in the First World. To the point where the #firstworldproblems hashtag is basically a joke. It’s to make us feel better about all our petty grumbles the world throws at us. But even in this supposedly privileged society, there are many people truly suffering. And many of those are children.

When you look back on the lenses of old, they have vignetting, sharpness issues, weird bokeh, chromatic aberration and all kinds of “problems” (some people refer to this as “character” and is exactly the reason why they like those old lenses). But Canon’s RF mount takes a step closer to that optical precision that they strive for....
