Plenty of news on the facebook E-M1II group, Panasonic FF and the GH5 group.
Olympus released the Q3 financial report. And while the company as a whole is doing ok the Imaging Business reported a major revenue loss. Also the forecast had to be revised down:
Part of the loss lies in “The impacts of ceased operations at the Chinese manufacturing subsidiary”. So this should be a one time loss only. But another more important cause of the loss is the “intensified competition“.
We have to keep in mind that Olympus did not announce new products at last years Photokina and this certainly had a big impact on their financial results. I hope the new E-M1X and the next new product launches will invert this trend.
Bcnaward.jp published the full 2018 Japanese market share analysis. Olympus lost 4% of the market share during 2018 while Canon had an impressive +10% jump. Still, the good news is that Olympus sold more camers than Sony and that is a good news if you think they had the new A7III. Let’s see if in 2019 Olympus will stay ahead thanks to the new E-M1X and the PEN-FII.

Capture One Launches Editorial Color Grading Styles
Bringing the coveted styles of top photographers & retouchers exclusively to Capture One
COPENHAGEN, February 7, 2019:
Capture One, the world’s premier name in image processing software, has released the Editorial Color Grading Style Pack. The Style Pack brings within reach of any user, for the first time, the editorial aesthetic of 3 acclaimed photographers and retouchers whose work can be found in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and Cosmopolitan among others.
Michael Woloszynowicz, Marie Bärsch, and Pratik Naik are all celebrated photographers and retouchers with hundreds of thousands of dedicated followers, and years of published work to their names. Their approach is at once contemporary and timeless, and they have chosen to work specifically with Capture One to create 7 Styles each that reflect their individual aesthetic.
Capture One Styles are precisely-designed presets that adjust the overall look and feel of an image with one click yet allow the image to be fully tuned and refined to suit individual taste. With the option to add each Style as a layer and control its intensity, and use multiple layers and Styles per image, Capture One Styles can serve as either a starting point or finishing touch or to give a specific nuanced flair.
The Editorial Color Grading Pack includes 3 sets of 7 Styles made by Michael, Marie, and Pratik, giving a total of 21 unique Styles to choose from. The wide variation of Styles provides countless possibilities to create professional and distinguished editorial images, be it fashion, street, travel, wedding, portraiture, and any other genre of your editorial work.

The Editorial Color Grading Style Pack is available now at the Capture One e-store:
