Around The Horn

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 images of war, guilty pleasures, Paul Nicklen, DALL-E 3 and ACDSee Photo Studio.
- In Harsh Visuals of War Leave Newsrooms Facing Tough Choices (gift link), Michael M. Grynbaum and Katie Robertson examine "the question of which images to publish -- and which are too graphic or misleading to be published."
- Suzanne Sease features Guilty Pleasures, the personal project of Annabelle Breakey (and, well, all of us). "This work is not to be a guilt trip," Breakey says. "It's meant to be a guilty pleasure and to be enjoyed and explored with your own sense of wanting and to have a giggle over your own experiences. No judgement, all fun."
- In Why Does Wildlife Photographer Paul Nicklen Have Dozens of Catfish Scam Impersonators?, Samantha Cole reports images of the National Geographic photographer have been used in numerous online scam efforts. "Catfishing or misrepresenting oneself online to trick someone and romance scams like the ones people are targeting Nicklen's fans with are common with celebrities and public figures," she writes. "Good people are being hurt," Nicklen adds as he fights back.
- In From Toy to Tool: DALL-E 3 Is a Wake-Up Call for Visual Artists -- and the Rest of Us, Benj Edwards takes a deep dive into the state of the art of AI imaging. "Perhaps the most eye-opening realization about DALL-E 3 is that it's not hard to see a future where the current imperfections are ironed out and you get AI agents that can easily generate visual imagery in any style that is completely indistinguishable from what a human could create," he writes.
- ACDSee Photo Studio for Mac 10 is available for 69.95 for a new license and $49.95 for an upgrade until noon PT on Nov. 22.
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
