JPEG, the lossy compression standard for images used on the Internet and digital cameras, might receive a much-needed upgrade by year’s end. The creators of JPEG XL claim their free open-source format offers up improvements that will result in a significant reduction in global bandwidth and storage costs.
The JPEG image format was first developed by researchers at the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in the 1980s. Over the years, due to its many advantages over other formats of the time, it became the go-to format for photos on digital cameras and the World Wide Web. At the time, it was revolutionary, cutting down on the time it took for images to load (think 5 seconds compared to minutes) and could store up to 50 images, rather than 1, on a memory card.
For almost 30 years, this standard, which uses data compression to keep files small, has remained largely unchanged and unchallenged, even after several unsuccessful attempts. That, however, could change. Several formats introduced in the past to replace JPEG, including JPEG 2000, JPEG XR, Google’s WebP, and even HEIC have fallen short of widespread adoption. JPEG XL is hoping to rewrite that script.
JPEG XL can take existing JPEG files and transcode them, losslessly, to reduce their size without compromising their quality. A single JPEG XL file can be stored on a server and serve both JPEG and JPEG XL clients. A JPEG XL file can also be restored to the initial JPEG through backwards compatibility without compromising the file.
The format will benefit photographers by including a wide color gamut, HDR (high dynamic range), and high bit depth images.
The format will benefit photographers by including a wide color gamut, HDR (high dynamic range), and high bit depth images. Support for printing, large panoramas, 360-degree imagery, and image bursts is also available. Optimized for responsive web environments, it’s also addressing current Internet user needs on a wide range of devices such as tablets and smartphones.
‘JPEG XL further includes features such as animation, alpha channels, layers, thumbnails, lossless and progressive coding to support a wide range of use cases including but not limited to photo galleries, e-commerce, social media, user interfaces and cloud storage,’ reads the official overview. What the creators promise is superior image quality, a codec ratio smaller than the typical 20:1 to 50:1, and encoding plus decoding without hardware acceleration on mobile devices.
The standard has four specifications which will be combined to make JPEG XL the standard, going forward, by the end of 2021, so long as the project doesn’t encounter any setbacks. Even if it gets set in stone before the end of the year, it may take time for it to be compatible on all the applications and platforms available.

Recently, DJI announced the Mini 2 drone. While it improves greatly upon its predecessor, the Mavic Mini, it won’t exactly replace the Mavic Air 2. To ensure that they can charge roughly $ 300 USD more, DJI has continued to improve upon the drone that falls below its Mavic 2 Pro and is a step above the Mini 2.
With firmware version v01.00.0460, DJI has added support so that the Mavic Air 2’s remote controller can also be used with the Mini 2. It is recommended that DJI’s Fly app v1.2.0, or higher, is installed on your smartphone. Another important update, especially for those flying near buildings or other tall structures, is the default Return to Home (RTH) altitude has increased to 100 meters (400 ft.).
This update also optimizes the downward vision positioning system by increasing the altitude limit to 30 meters (100 ft.). Users can also expect a quieter start-up after powering on their drone.
One question remains: since the Mini 2 also includes OccuSync 2.0 transmission technology, will it eventually be compatible with DJI’s Smart Controller? Time will tell. To get started with this latest firmware update for the Mavic Air 2, check out the tutorial video below. Full firmware release notes follow.
– Added support so the remote controller can also be used with DJI Mini 2. It is recommended to use the remote controller with DJI Fly v1.2.0 or above. – Updated default RTH altitude to 100 m. – Optimized Downward Vision System by increasing the altitude limit to 30 m when the aircraft is only using Downward Vision System for positioning. – Optimized logic of rotational speed of fan after powering on in order to reduce noise and power consumption. – Optimized detection and app alert when propellers are unfolded.
Notes:
If the update fails, restart aircraft, remote controller, and DJI Fly or DJI Assistant 2 for Mavic, and retry.
There’s no shortage of lighting accessories available for smartphones, ranging from small LED lights to more sophisticated Xenon-flash solutions like the Godox A1 or the Profoto C1. However, all those solutions are more or less designed for maximum portability and amateur use. If you needed professional-level studio lighting that is fully compatible with smartphone cameras, you were pretty much out of luck…until now.
Profoto has announced it’s made its B10 flash series compatible with Apple’s iPhone cameras. The B10 and B10 Plus are compact studio flash heads and have a powerful continuous light source for videographers as well. They come with removable lithium-ion battery and have output control via the company’s AirTTL system. The B10 is a 250Ws unit while the slightly larger and heavier B10 Plus doubles the output.
‘This is a revolutionary innovation, said Profoto CEO Anders Hedebark. ‘Making professional flash available to smartphones has the potential to be ground-breaking, just like how the transition from analog to digital cameras once changed everything. We believe freedom with connectivity is the next step for professional photography. No matter what kind of photographer you are, it’s all about the light. And we want to offer image creators to work with great light, regardless of what capturing device you chose to use.‘

Profoto says it has been able to make the B10 series units work with the iPhone by using ‘a range of advanced technologies.’ The company’s AirX technology has been key to the project as it allows users to clock synchronize Bluetooth devices. The flash unit has to fire at exactly the right point in time, and for the right length of time. Using Bluetooth-sync iPhone photographers who use the B10 series can capture images at 1/25.000 sec exposure time and still sync the full power.
‘One challenge when working with smartphone cameras is that they require much more flexible flash-length on different shutter speeds than for instance DSLR or MILC. This has forced us to refine our methods with PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) flashes into long, or extremely short, pulses with an exact and controlled intensity‘, explained Göran Marén, Product Manager at Profoto.
Most serious photographers who are happy to lug a portable flash system like the B10 around will almost certainly also carry a DSLR or mirrorless camera. However, this is still very good news from Profoto as it simply gives you the option to shoot with an iPhone on those occasions when you have to work with a flash but absolutely have to or want to minimize the bulk you carry. It also makes the iPhone a potential backup device should your main camera fail on a studio shoot.

iPhone connectivity for the Profoto B10 flash series is available from today. Profoto B10 users will have to update the flash firmware for the new feature to work which can be done through the Profoto app. The feature requires iOS 11.0 or later and works with the iPhone 7 and newer models.
The Profoto app also allows you to control B10 and B10 Plus strobes from both iPhones and Android devices when shooting with a ‘real’ camera.
The post Lightroom Preset Compatibility: XMP or LRTemplate Confusion? appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Adam Welch.
Over the last couple of years, Adobe has made some enormous changes to its flagship post-processing software. In short, some of these changes can be slightly…confusing. As someone who uses Adobe Lightroom a lot (and I do mean A LOT), perhaps one of the most confusing changes to Lightroom to come down the pike was Adobe’s choice to change the format of its develop presets from .lrtemplate to .xmp. This has led to quite a bit of head-scratching from hobbyists and professional photogs alike over Lightroom preset compatibility.
Today, once and for all (until Adobe changes things), we’re going to speak plainly about what you need to know when it comes to your development presets in Lightroom. You’re going to learn which presets work with which versions of Lightroom. You’ll learn which ones don’t work, and in the process, gain a better understanding of how presets function in all realms of Lightroom.
Making the jump to XMP
In April 2018, Adobe released Lightroom Classic v7.3.
With Lightroom v7.3, we discovered for the first time that the file designation for develop presets changed from ‘.lrtemplate’ to ‘.xmp’. This brought along some awesome benefits, with the most brilliant being that our Lightroom develop presets could now be used with Adobe Camera RAW (ACR).
Unfortunately, this switch gave birth to a whole litter of questions over how the older .lrtemplate presets would function after the switch to the .xmp format.
For people like me that engineers develop presets as part of their living, tiny beads of sweat congregated on our foreheads once the announcement dropped from Adobe.
Adding to the anguish, around the same time, Adobe experienced somewhat of an identity crisis with the naming of their Lightroom platforms. Lightroom Classic CC? Lightroom CC? Lightroom Desktop? It was difficult to keep track.
This left many users (myself included) questioning what version of Lightroom we were running. This, in part, compounded the confusion over what develop presets would function with what versions of Lightroom.
By Alex Knight/Unsplash
Why XMP?
Many users wondered why Adobe would change the file format of the develop presets in Lightroom. The reason stems from another one of the big changes to come along with Lightroom v7.3, which was the introduction of Adobe’s ‘Creative Profiles’.
Creative Profiles are a way for Lightroom users to add base-line adjustments (think in-camera profiles) that do not interfere with their other edits in Lightroom and ACR.
Yep, you guessed it, these Creative Profiles are in .xmp format.
So really, the general reasoning behind Adobe’s switch from .lrtemplate to .xmp file format was aimed at accomplishing universal Lightroom preset compatibility, sync ability, and Creative Profile functionality across Lightroom Classic, Lightroom CC, Lightroom Mobile, and ACR.
A question of compatibility
With the Lightroom v7.3 build, all of the users presets that were in the old .lrtemplate format automatically converted to the fresh .xmp format upon updating Lightroom (Lightroom Classic that is). This meant all of the Lightroom presets in the preset library were now usable in ACR and could be synced for use with Lightroom CC and Lightroom Mobile.
It also meant virtually all of us were completely befuddled as to what to do next with our presets.
Would our .lrtemplate presets still work with the newest version of Lightroom? Are .xmp presets compatible with previous Lightroom builds? What if I’m still running the pre-cloud versions of Lightroom?
Yes, it can all be extremely frustrating.
To help out, I’ve broken down which versions of Lightroom and ACR are compatible with which develop preset file formats.
We’ll also have a look at how each handles your development presets.
Pre-v.7.3 Lightroom builds
After Adobe launched the inclusive Creative Cloud ecosystem for its image processing applications in 2017, all standalone versions of Lightroom ended production. This meant that after Lightroom 6, the program was re-birthed as the Cloud-centric Lightroom Classic CC, now known simply as Lightroom Classic.
In short, you can no longer buy Lightroom, only rent it for a monthly subscription fee.
For these builds, there is no backward compatibility for .xmp format presets. This means all presets that aren’t in the new format, will not work with this version of Lightroom.
Lightroom v7.3, ACR 10.3 and later
No matter your opinion on the switch from .lrtemplate to .xmp format for Lightroom develop presets, there’s no denying that the cross-platform functionality is quite convenient. Being able to use your Lightroom presets in ACR is awesome. What’s even better is that Adobe will automatically update all of your .lrtemplate formatted presets to the new .xmp format once you have updated your build of Lightroom Classic to v7.3 or later.
This allows you to continue to enjoy your presets in all their glory after updating to the new format.
Unfortunately, once your presets are updated to .xmp format…there is no going back.
Consider the .lrtemplate to .xmp conversion process as the “point of no return” for your presets.
In the face of this finality, it is strongly recommended that you save all of your presets that are in .lrtemplate format in a separate location (preferably an external drive) other than the native Lightroom Develop Presets folder. This will allow you to maintain the fullest Lightroom preset compatibility just in case you should ever wish to revert to a pre-v7.3 build of Lightroom.
What’s the endgame?
Even now, some long-time users of Lightroom still feel a bit frustrated when it comes to the compatibility of develop presets with older versions of Lightroom. With the enormous changes to their favorite image processing software, the confusion (and at times overt contempt) over what works and what doesn’t is completely understandable.
It’s obvious by now that the new .xmp format for presets is here to stay. It is also equally obvious that the trepidation of Lightroom preset compatibility still lingers for many users.
Looking to the bright side, with each new development feature introduced to Lightroom Classic, the processing power available in our develop presets grows exponentially. As time passes, hopefully, the long-term benefits of all these changes will far outweigh any initial challenges we may have encountered in the beginning.
I hope this has eased your Lightroom preset compatibility. If you have any other thoughts, or ideas around this, please share them with us in the comments section.

Rogue Photographic Design has released a new version of its popular FlashBender shapeable reflectors and softboxes for speedlights. The FlashBender v3 (shown above in the large size) incorporates numerous new features and improvements when compared to the v2, including a new internal mesh structure, quick-release buckle and more.
While the FlashBender v2 was compatible with strobes and speedlights of many sizes, the new v3 has been designed for even more compatibility. With its new grippier attachment strap, the v3 can fit strobes as small as 17cm (6.7″) and as large as 43cm (17″). The v2 could fit flashes and strobes from 19cm (7.5″) to just under 25cm (9.75″).
Rogue lists a variety of compatible flashes on its website, including speedlights from Canon, Godox, Nikon, Nissin, Olympus, Profoto and Sony. The mount is incorporated into the FlashBender v3 itself, so there’s no need for additional accessories or mounts when attaching the v3 to your flash.
With its new internal mesh structure, the FlashBender v3 can be more easily shaped to your needs and is better at maintaining its position. Compared to the v2, the FlashBender v3 makes it easier to shape and direct light where you need it.
Compared to the Rogue FlashBender v2 (left), the FlashBender v3 (right) has an improved strap and quick-release buckle. The new v3 is also compatible with a wider range of flashes and strobes than its predecessor. With its new internal mesh structure, the FlashBender v3 allows for better control over the direction of light than the v2 as well.
The FlashBender v3 maintains the same compact form factor as its predecessor, ensuring that you can easily fold it in half to pack it away when transporting your gear. To make the FlashBender v3 even easier to use, it incorporates a new quick-release buckle. One minor tradeoff for the improved usability and design is that the FlashBender v3 weighs slightly more than its predecessor. For example, the FlashBender v3 Large Reflector weighs 170g (6oz), whereas the v2 weighs 135g (4.8oz).
For those unfamiliar with the Rogue FlashBender, it is available in various configurations, including a large reflector, large softbox, small reflector, small softbox and an XL pro lighting system. With the reflector kits, you can use the FlashBender v3 to reflect and soften the light from your speedlight or strobe, allowing you to easily set up main, background, accent or hair lights. You can also use the FlashBender to easily direct and bounce light off existing reflective surfaces, such as a white ceiling. Compared to a diffuser, the FlashBender allows for more control of where your light is directed, allowing the photographer to opt for lower power settings or be able to take better photos in direct outdoor sunlight.
The FlashBender v3 softbox kits come with a FlashBender v3 reflector and also includes a diffusion panel, allowing you to create even softer light and eliminate bounce flash if you are working in an area with off-color ceilings. When using FlashBender v3, either attached to an on-camera flash or when using off-camera remote flash, you can shape it to create a reflector/gobo, snoot (tube) or softbox.
The Rogue FlashBender v3 is available in an XL Pro Lighting System kit (shown here) for $ 119.95. This kit comes with an extra-large Pro Reflector v3, extra-large Pro Diffuser v3 and Rogue’s Pro Strip Grid v3.
The Rogue FlashBender v3 is available in the following kits: Large Reflector ($ 44.95 USD), Large Soft Box Kit ($ 59.95), Small Reflector ($ 39.95), Small Soft Box Kit ($ 49.95) and XL Pro Lighting System ($ 119.95). The softbox kits include a reflector plus a diffusion panel. The XL Pro Lighting System includes an extra-large Pro Reflector v3, Pro Diffusion Panel v3 and Pro Strip Grid v3. For owners of the FlashBender or FlashBender v2, it is worth noting that existing versions of Rogue Diffusion Panels are not compatible with the new hook and loop modifications on the FlashBender v3.
For more information on the new Rogue FlashBender v3, visit the Rogue Photographic Design website.
Tokina has published a compatibility noticed for Nikon Z-series owners, regarding a few issues the company came across while ‘thoroughly’ testing the functionality of its F-mount lenses when used on Z-series cameras with Nikon’s FTZ adapter.
The notice highlights four lenses that can’t use autofocus with Nikon’s FTZ adapter and one lens that has slightly slower autofocus when used with the adapter.
The four lenses without autofocus functionality are the Tokina AT-X 70–200mm F4 FX VCM-S, Tokina AT-X M100 AF PRO D, Tokina AT-X 107 AF DX NH Fisheye and Tokina AT-X 107 AF DX Fisheye. When put in manual focus mode, however, all of these lenses will work without issue, according to Tokina.
Tokina notes its opera 50mm F1.4 FF lens works when autofocus is on, but notes that when ‘Compared with general conditions depending on aperture value AF speed might be slower.’
Compatibility notice:
Tokina Compatibility Notice for Nikon Z-Series Mirrorless Camera Owners
Thank you for using Tokina products.
We have thoroughly tested all current Tokina interchangeable lenses (Nikon F mount) with the Nikon Z 6, Nikon Z 7 and Nikon Z 50 mirrorless camera using the Nikon mount adapter FTZ.

If you’re using a laptop out on the road but want the luxury of a workstation setup back at base, a docking station is the way to go.
Plugable has now launched its latest TBT3-UDZ model which works with any USB-C or Thunderbolt equipped laptop on the market. It allows for the connection of up to two additional 4K displays via either HDMI or Display Port, without using any external adapters. Plugable says its new model is the first Thunderbolt 3 docking station to offer this functionality.
Thanks to a total of 14 ports, for video, audio, SD/microSD and ethernet, you should not have any trouble connecting multiple input devices or peripherals. The TBT3-UDZ is built around the Intel Titan Ridge chipset which enables dual Thunderbolt/USB-3 compatibility and makes it an interesting option for those using multiple types of laptops.
At 100W power delivery is the highest charging wattage to be implemented in the Plugable lineup line of docking stations which, according to the company, makes the TBT3-UDZ an ideal choice for users of some of Apple’s latest laptops, such as the 16″ MacBook Pro, which come with 96W chargers. The Plugable TBT3-UDZ will be available for $ 299 in spring 2020.
When launched in 2013, the original CamRanger was one of the first devices that let you wirelessly control a DSLR via a smartphone phone app. Since then the company launched the CamRanger mini which mainly focused on offering CamRanger capability in a smaller package.
Now the CamRanger 2 has been released and the updated version is larger than the original but supports more camera models, is faster and comes with additional features.
The original CamRanger could be used with Canon and Nikon DSLRs. Compatibility has now been expanded to Sony Fujifilm mirrorless models, opening up new customer groups to the device. A full list of compatible cameras can be found on the CamRanger website.
There are now also a new standard tripod mount that opens up new attachment options and a for multiple camera attachment options and a SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card slot which should be useful for use with cameras with only a single card slot.
Despite a larger capacity rechargeable battery (3300mAh vs 1800mAh on the original), according to CamRanger battery life has decreased from approximately six to five hours, though.
On the plus side the new model now supports 5Ghz wireless networking in addition to the 2.4Ghz of the original. The range has been doubled from 250 feet to 500 feet (152m) as well.
New features include a ‘quick RAW’ viewing mode which uses an embedded JPG-image for faster reviewing, advanced image rating, video viewing and downloading, saving to SD-card, editing, croppind and more.
For more information head over to the CamRanger website where you’ll also be able to order the device for $ 350.
