With the latest update across the Lr/ACR apps one of the most useful for creating masks may be the ability to select “objects” using the power of AI and your ability to draw a selection around said object. With so many great ways to make selections, like Sky, Subject, Background, People, Color, Luminance, and Depth, where does objects fit in?

NIKKOR Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S Nikon has announced its fourth super telephoto prime for the Z mirrorless system, the NIKKOR Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S, which includes 1.4x teleconverter built in.
