| | | | Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom are both pro-level editing software rich with professional features and tools. Professional and hobby photographers alike rely on them to edit their photos. They're powerful creative tools, but admittedly they can be a little overwhelming to new users. Also, it can be unclear which application you should use. | The answer to this question isn't a straightforward yes or no. Photoshop and Lightroom both shine in different situations. Fortunately, we're going to go over all the differences between the two applications. We'll also discuss what their common uses are and help you determine which one you should use and when. | | | | You want to have the best production values your videos can have, right? That means you have to use music that does more than just be a place keeper. It has to evoke emotions, be thought provoking or at the very least bring the listener/viewer to a "better" place. The music you'll hear at CSSMusic.com is first and foremost legal, 100% copyright clear. Never re-titled hand me downs. But bottom line, it's music used daily by Hollywood's film and television studios. It's in TV shows you watch and movies you've seen. Why then shouldn't you have access to the very best royalty free music on the web? It's the choice of producers worldwide and now it can be your choice too! | | | Today's top stories | Filmmakers no longer have to guess if a lens will cover their camera's sensor because True Lens Services (TLS) has built a free browser-based tool to do the math for them. The U.K. cinema lens maker's new Lens Coverage Tool lets users select a TLS lens and camera setup to instantly see whether the optic provides full coverage, showing results across focal lengths, T-stops and focus distances. TLS says the interactive charts give cinematographers "clarity at a glance," potentially unlocking more lens options than expected, even on larger formats like the upcoming Fujifilm Eterna Cinema camera. The only catch: the tool is limited to TLS' own lens catalog. Nvidia's hopes of reentering the Chinese market are on hold as CEO Jensen Huang says talks with the U.S. government over chip sales will "take time." The company is seeking approval to sell scaled-down versions of its powerful Blackwell GPUs to China, after sales of its H20 chips were blocked under Trump-era restrictions. While Trump has suggested China could access Blackwell models that are 30–50% less capable, security concerns remain high in Washington, with fears that even weaker chips could bolster China's military and tech ambitions. Nvidia's AI dominance is paying off in record numbers. The world's most valuable company reported $46.7 billion in revenue for the second quarter, up 56% year-over-year, driven largely by surging demand for its data center GPUs. Net income also soared 59% to $26.4 billion, with $27 billion in sales coming from its latest Blackwell chips. CEO Jensen Huang called Blackwell "the AI platform the world has been waiting for," projecting $3 to $4 trillion in AI infrastructure spending within five years. While Nvidia continues to face uncertainty in China due to export restrictions and stalled H20 chip sales, the company forecasts third-quarter revenue of $54 billion. Fresh leaks suggest the upcoming DJI Mini 5 Pro, expected to launch in September, will debut with major upgrades like a one-inch camera sensor, onboard LiDAR and extended flight times, while keeping its Fly More Combo price in line with the current Mini 4 Pro at €1129. New packaging images hint at a Fly More Combo Plus bundle, which includes three higher-capacity batteries offering up to 52 minutes of flight time, though they may push the drone over the 250 g limit. With leaks piling up, an official announcement appears imminent. Broncolor is shaking up the strobe market with its new Stelos 800 L, a high-end, battery-powered monobloc that runs on universal V-mount batteries instead of pricey proprietary packs. The Swiss-made strobe delivers 800 Ws of power with high-speed sync support, a bright LCD interface, and even adjustable flash color temperature. These kinds of features are usually reserved for top-tier power pack systems.
| | Lessons from the field | | Color theory can set the tone and mood for the viewer using color manipulation in pre-production, shooting and post. But what exactly is color theory? | Color theory is an explainable phenomenon that came about during the Renaissance period with painters. While basic color attributes were assigned, it would be several centuries before Albert H. Munsell would create a three dimensional color system that focused on hue, lightness and chroma. This system, developed in the early 1900's, would go on to become highly precise and scientific. By looking at his work and how it has evolved, as well as its applications, you'll easily be able to grasp the basic fundamentals of color theory.
