Been tons of chatter online about the Lytro camera the last few weeks. In case you've been living under a rock or too busy to notice, then you'll be happy to know that the new Lytro camera allows you to select focus AFTER you shoot the photograph. AMAZING technology developed at Stanford by Ren Ng. Just like you can change the white balance after capture when shooting RAW, well now you can put those striking... read more ›

Someone just sent this to me. "Chase Jarvis has a Pre Production Canon 5d Mark III". Yeah, I guess that makes it true... (guessing it's the handy detective work of Dave @ Learning dSLR video).

Remember the group fine art show I was bubbling about in September? I intro'd it here, updated the project here. In short, 50 fellow artists -- some of the worlds best known photographers, street artists, fashion designers, painters, celebrities, sculptors and more -- came together at the lofty Phillips de Pury gallery in NYC to raise money for charity... This here video chronicles just a part of the story--the making of my piece... read more ›

It’s been gratifying to see that the great preset debate from my earlier post is not isolated to this office, instead there seems to be a lot of interest in this topic and a fairly even split in favor of and against using adjustment presets. The majority of comments landed somewhere in the neighborhood of “I use them in moderation in order to get initial settings or ideas, then custom tweak from there.” This is... read more ›

Spinning through photos on my phone. Saw this. Don't recall where I snapped the image - somewhere in NYC I think. But it is perhaps the most perfect summary of our quest. Have a great weekend.

I once bumped into Steve Jobs and Jonathan Ive walking out the front door at the Apple Headquarters in Cupertino. Almost literally bumped into them.

He and Jobs passed through on the way out just behind me.... read more ›

Scott here. Many of you know that I'm the primary retoucher here around the Chase Jarvis studio. I was surprised to get into a fairly spirited debate the other day with some of my co-workers. The topic? Adjustment presets and plug-ins in Aperture or Lightroom or Photoshop. I’ve got a strong opinion on this, but this experience has once again reminded me that there are a thousand ways to skin a cat and that my... read more ›

I'm sitting in the green room right now about to take the stage with Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch down here in LA. By the time you're reading this, I've just announced a new tablet form of Photoshop called Photoshop Touch (coming to iOS!!). As I sit here running through the script for the show that's live in 5 minutes, I stumbled upon a thought that is both sweet and bizarre. It's this: The psd image... read more ›
