Step aside, Lightroom! Capture One 23 just dropped a suite of AI tools that's making photographers' hearts skip a beat.

This isn't your basic editing software; it's AI-powered magic that can mask your images with the precision of a surgeon.

And it's not just about the tech; they've teamed up with Aftershoot to bring AI culling and editing to the table, learning your style and applying it to entire catalogs.

Adobe did try to keep up by beefing up Lightroom's AI masks, but they're still playing catch-up.

The photography tribe is buzzing with testimonials, with many swearing by Capture One 23 as a workflow revolution. It’s a game-changer, folks, and the game is photo editing.

AI editing tools: Game-changer or gimmick?

 PRODUCTION MASTERY

The recent Israel-Hamas conflict unleashed a wave of fake videos, and it doesn’t take AI to make them.

Instead, basic digital tools are warping footage taken from unrelated events, wreaking havoc in their wake.

But here’s the twist: even as the techlash endures for deepfakes, the best defense might not be an algorithmic offense; it might be patience.

According to the researchers behind “Verified,” a book that arms readers to navigate the sprawling information swamp, time is the great truth serum on social media.

Before sharing the latest shocking video, ask some basic questions: Is this the full story? Can you corroborate it from a reliable source?
If not, wait. The truth will catch up.

Is waiting for verification the best defense against fake news?

MrBeast

YT’s biggest cheese, MrBeast, just rolled out ViewStats, a free analytics tool that’s got creators buzzing. It’s like Social Blade, but with a MrBeast smile.

Context: The legendary MrBeast, who’s flipped online vids into an estimated $1.5B empire, and his partner in prime content, Chucky Appleby, popped the top on ViewStats last week.

It’s free in beta, and everyone’s lining up to see what’s on offer. Imagine a YouTube dashboard on steroids, featuring deep insights like cresting and plummeting subs and views over time.

Why Care: Considering a collab with a creator who’s losing twice as many subscribers as they’re gaining? Now it’s easy to spot. It’s creator clout made accessible.

And sure, we all had our eyebrow raised when this duo brought it out, but in a world where creators are kingmakers, it’s a power move fit for the throne.

How much can it change the game?
