Best tools for the post process of digital photos – an overview
Per Kylberg

Heavily debated and a frustration to many – here is a walk-through of the best alternatives. My background is graphic design, gradually evolving into an IT position afor “virtual systems”. From 1982 I have been evaluting, using, developing systems in theese areas.
The starting point is always the output, end product, usage of result. In my case the ambition is a large, beautiful pring that can hang on the wall for years and still be interesting! Systems should also support a process and/or enable a better process.
Photo creation can be separated into two sub processes: image capture and post processing/digital darkroom. “Capture” will take you through about 60% of the total process. Post processing is 40% of the final result. (In terms of creative effort). My post processing experience stems from 1966 – my first wet darkroom. Digital systems will never be as magicly creative as the darkroom experience, but takes a lot less time to learn and to execute.

(SR3) Sony rumored to finally launch the 16-55mm f/2.8 APS-C E-mount lens in 2018?

Share

This info comes from a source whom shared a couple of correct rumors in the past but also was wrong one the A7sIII rumor he shared in September. So this means we have to take it with a grain of salt. But I certainly hope he is right on track with reliable rumors when it comes to the info he just shared:

Part of roadmap for this year contains lenses:
400/2.8 FE (confirmed)
16-55/2.8 E
135 f? FE

Part of roadmap for this year contains cameras:
a5x00
a7s3
a73

Next Samyang lens should also be 135mm probably f/2.8.

Thanks to the source for this!
