New Topaz Mask AI released (and $30 discount)
Everything goes “AI branded” nowadays: Topaz announced the new Mask AI plugin which you can get with a $30 discount here. Topaz writes:
Compared to Photoshop, Mask AI doesn’t need tedious brushwork to get a high-quality mask. And there’s no need to learn complicated icons and tools. With Mask AI you only need to roughly outline your subject in blue, one click fills what you want to cut, one click fills what you want to keep, and press “Compute Mask”. It’s really that simple. Our neural network has been trained to distinguish tough edges, so you can get a great mask on the first attempt.
The $30 discount will expire on tonight!

Reminder: The AI powered new Luminar 4 (full details here) will be released on November 18. Here is an example video showing you how to create fake Sunrays :)

Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 FE lens: Image samples, MTF graph and “Best-in-class optical performance”
Preorders are yet NOT open:
Sigma 24-70mm FE lens at BHphoto, Adorama.
Sigma published the full 24-70mm f/2.8 FE product page (Click here). Sigma is aiming high with this lens as they say it has the “Best-in-class optical performance”
Best-in-class optical performance
The F2.8 Art zoom flagship zoom lens series is developed primarily to achieve superior optical performance. As extra-low dispersion glass materials, six sheets of “F” low dispersion (FLD) glass and two sheets of special low dispersion (SLD) glass are lavishly employed while taking advantage of an optical design dedicated for mirrorless lenses. By employing three aspheric lenses, this zoom lens thoroughly subdues aberrations such as axial chromatic aberration or sagittal coma aberration, which are difficult to correct in post-processing, tailors the resolution and achieves uniformity and superior optical performance from the center to the periphery throughout the zoom range. In addition to Super Multi-Layer Coating, Nano Porous Coating* is employed. This lens is designed so as to be less affected by strong incident light such as flare. The mirrorless camera-dedicated design successfully contributes to reduction in the lens size and weight.
