Favorite Digital Tools
Oct 30, 2023 14:33:03 #
I'm summarizing an article I found online - Digital tools that pro photographers like. This is from June of 2015, so the camera choices will be outdated.
Frank Doorho0f - “One of the things that I love to do is work with the modern-day solutions to see your images on your iPhone and iPad immediately."
Brendan Van Son - "For me, it's the smartphone. And, actually, it's quite funny but for the first 3 years I travelled, I didn't have a phone of any sorts with me. But, the rise of Instagram made me decide that I needed to jump on the smartphone bandwagon."
Jimmy Chin - “Being able to build an audience, personally curate images, share them with people around the world, get immediate feedback and have real time interactions between photographer and audience has hanged photography. The access to large audiences can be quite powerful.”
Jake Olson - “My most important tools are my camera, my laptop and Lightroom."
Peter Hurley - “ 'About Me' pages and people’s desire to formulate their own personal brand and establish their digital identity has changed the landscape of headshot photography. For years I mainly had actors coming in for headshots, now I have people from all walks of life.”
Jack Hollingsworth - “Right now the most valuable and treasured tool in my camera bag is my beloved iPhone 6 Plus."
Frederick Van Johnson - “Currently, I shoot with the Panasonic Lumix GH4. For my chosen genre, the fast, light and highly capable mirror-less cameras are ideally suited for being nimble, and "in the moment."
Gary Arndt - “My most important tools are my camera, my laptop and Lightroom. I have to take photos and process them, and I have to do it on the road.”
Jordan Loyd - “I recently picked up a Panasonic LX100. The advances made in this area of photography are incredible."
Eric Kim - “My favorite digital tool is my iPad, which allows me to blog in a minimalist format (with the iA writer pro application), helps me share my photos with other photographers to critique my images in the native Photos" app. Furthermore, I love the VSCO app on my smartphone which helps make my digital mobile images look like film.”

Anyone who said "Lightroom" is so much smarter than anyone who didn't ....

Obviously! Rather than waste his brainpower thinking for himself, he jumped on the Adobe Bandwagon. 🤣

Adobe created Lightroom for working pros, leaving PS for working 'artists'...

LR is by far my most used photography related program. In addition ive learned to (somewhat) seamlessly integrate use of LRCC (the mobile version) with my desk top making travel photography so much easier.
The quick integration with Portfolio is an added plus. Add to all that the map feature and the slide show component. It’s an amazing value for me.

And so many people pay for it and then deny themselves all these magical benefits ...

I guess their programmers need to “up their game”.

I started editing with Photoshop CS3 and have yet to find anything I liked better. My oldest daughter on the other hand loves Lightroom.

Which is the current version of photoshop? {if I recall correctly, they had version ‘7’ when a free version came packaged with my scanner ten years ago, but I think their numbering system might be somewhat “funky”}.
