Skylum reinvents the approach for managing photos with upcoming Digital Asset Manager

Skylum announced that a BETA version of their new DAM module will be released before the final version:

Skylum plans to offer the new DAM free to anyone who owns a current version of Luminar. Within a few weeks, the company will announce its final sale of the current version. There will be a well-known, well-publicized, time limit set for this sale and at the end of the sale, the retail price of the product will go up. Everyone who buys (or currently owns) the current version of Luminar before that date, will get the new DAM free of charge. After that date, the price will rise and will still be very affordable.

The new DAM is still under development, and the company wants to make sure it is rock solid before it comes out of BETA. We’re in the home stretch. As soon as possible, the shipping date will be announced. For now, make sure you own the current version of Luminar to put yourself in the queue to receive the new DAM free of charge. 

Note that you save $10 on Luminar when using our code “43RUM” at checkout!

This is the presentation video of the DAM module:

Photons To Photos: Panasonic Lumix DC-GX9 Photographic Dynamic Range and Other Sensor Measurements

Photons To Photos measured the Panasonic GX9 sensor performance. As you can see it’s nearly identical to the previous GX8.

Just to be clear, the GX9 is a fine camera. But I hope Panasonic next MFT camera will finally feature a new kind of sensor. We know Panasonic is working with Fuji on organic sensor tech. Let’s hope it doesn’t take too long!
