In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention. This time we look at the Getty Center, ML Super Resolution, Gilmar Smith, Saul Leiter, the Leica Q2, jewelry photography, Ilford darkroom printing survey and Trace.
- Senior curator Jim Ganz provides some Highlights From 'Unseen: 35 Years of Collecting Photographs' at the Getty Center.
- ML Super Resolution in Pixelmator Pro Is Fantastic, Derrick Story discovers. "Instead of using just 'nearest neighbor' upscaling, Pixelmator uses machine learning to take into account additional elements in the image such as textures and patterns," he writes.
- Gilmar Smith proves Christmas Cards Don't Have to Be Boring with a few examples from her portfolio. "This is my busiest time of the year, but it is also the most fun because I get to be creative doing the kind of work I love," she says.
- In An Intimate Look Inside Saul Leiter's East Village Art Studio, Miss Rosen reviews Saul Leiter: In My Room.
- Kirk Tuck offers to collaborate with Leica on the Visual Science Lab Normal Limited Edition of the Leica Q2.
- Jasenka Grujin offers Five Tips That Will Make Your Jewelry Photography Sparkle. We particularly appreciate the advice to remove dust. These are macro shots, after all.
- The Ilford Photo Darkroom Printing Survey is your chance to let the company know about "your darkroom / printing habits, from what you enjoy about printing to where you print." It's a 10 minute survey.
- The free Trace removes the background from your photos and can replace it with flat colors or other images. Trace can also print the revised image on stickers, buttons, coasters and more.
