This is the VWFNDR Keirin camera concept:

"KEIRIN is a conceptual digital camera designed as a testing ground for exploring new design paradigms, seamlessly integrating hardware and software. It aims to provide an immersive shooting experience focusing on the photographic craft without distractions. Named after the Japanese word keirin 競輪 ー a bike race in a velodrome ー is the perfect name for a concept where hardware and software cycle together." (vwfndr.camera)

"The Keirin is designed around a 60-megapixel full-frame sensor with a 35mm lens. The plan is for the camera to include SSD storage and mobile connectivity so that photos can automatically be saved and backed up to the cloud. VWFNDR has also designed a proprietary magnetic expansion bay — called XPNSNBAY — that uses pogo pins to allow for peripherals like a panoramic optical viewfinder. Another clever accessory is REMOFLSH, a wireless flash unit that directly communicates with the camera’s built-in trigger. " (The Verge)

Nikkei Japan published an article "Digital camera market grows for the first time in 13 years, halting shrinkage with smartphone replacement". Here is the article recap digicame-info:

  • Research firm GfK Japan announced on the 18th that the domestic digital camera market in 2023 will turn positive for the first time in 13 years. Sales volume was 1.2 million units, an increase of 7% from the previous year. This was driven by products such as interchangeable lens cameras. The decline had continued due to the spread of smartphones, but this appears to have come to a halt. The digital camera market had been in decline since peaking at 10.4 million units in 2010.
  • Looking at unit sales in 2023 by type, interchangeable lens cameras increased by 9%, and compact cameras increased by 6%. Interchangeable lenses also grew by 4%.
  • This is the second consecutive year of positive growth for interchangeable lens cameras. The number of products over 100,000 yen increased, and the proportion of products in the 100,000 to 200,000 yen price range was 46%, an increase of 7 points from the previous year. The average price (excluding tax) rose 4% from the previous year to 172,000 yen.

Retouch4me announced a new update for the Retouch4me Panel: now they offer cloud-based retouching with all Retouch4me plugins and introduce a new pay-per-retouch model. As the Panel is free software with 20 complimentary retouches, you can try it right away. Additional information:

Fast and professional retouching: the new Retouch4me Photoshop Panel automates photo editing in the cloud

Retouch4me rolls out an update for Photoshop Panel, extending its original functionality. Now users can edit images from a single interface in Photoshop, both on a local computer and in the cloud.

Tallinn, April 16, 2024 — Retouch4me, a leading provider of innovative editing software solutions, announced today an upgrade for its Photoshop Panel. It offers an interface to select between two retouching options. The first one enables image editing using the installed Retouch4me plugins on the user's device. The second option allows for retouching with all the plugins available in the cloud.

Oleg Sharonov, Founder and Board Member of Retouch4me & 3D LUT Creator (RELU OÜ), comments: "Retouch4me Photoshop Panel was initially created to simplify the work with our plugin suite. The idea was to eliminate the steps needed to be done in Photoshop with every plugin, thus speeding up the retouching process. With the new Panel, users can utilize the whole Retouch4me plugin suite right from the cloud and get professionally retouched images in no time. The first 20 retouches are free for testing, and the results are saved as layers in Photoshop. Photographers and retouchers editing a moderate volume of photos will find particular value in the new functionality of the Panel. They can select the desired package of retouches according to their workload, starting at $20 for 200 retouches."

Key features of the Retouch4me Photoshop Panel:

  1. Cloud-Based Retouching: Neural network plugins require powerful computers with modern video cards, similar to high-end gaming computers, for fast processing. With the new Panel, there is no need for high-performance PCs because the processing is done in the cloud. The result of AI processing is sent back to the user in layers. This approach empowers users to fine-tune layers while preserving the integrity of the original image in Adobe Photoshop.
  2. Flexible Payment Model: Retouch4me offers users a versatile payment model for fully retouched images. Users can choose from a variety of cloud retouching options, starting at $20 for 200 retouches. In this case, the cost of one retouch is $0.1, and with the purchase of larger packages, it's $0.06. One retouch can be used either for the full set of Retouch4me plugins or only for the needed ones. This flexibility ensures that users have control over their retouching expenses.
  3. Free Trial: The Retouch4me Panel for Photoshop does not have any upfront costs. Every user has the opportunity to use 20 retouches for free with all plugins and save the results in layers in Photoshop. After using free retouches, one may purchase additional cloud retouching packages or buy a perpetual license for the chosen plugins.

Availability: The Panel is available on both Windows and Mac platforms. It is freely available for installation and use with the purchased plugins, and there are flexible payment options for retouching made in the cloud.

Background: The Retouch4me Photoshop Panel, launched in 2022, is an extension of Photoshop. This tool empowers users to operate multiple Retouch4me plugins through a unified interface. The panel saves users time by allowing them to apply edits made by Retouch4me plugins all at once and save them as separate layers.

About Retouch4me: Retouch4me is a software company that provides innovative solutions for photo and video editing. With neural networks, our software automates manual tasks and delivers natural results, allowing creatives to focus on their artistry. We believe that combining AI and human creativity helps achieve superior results. Retouch4me improves the workflows of photographers, retouchers, and videographers in over 105 countries.
