DxOMark has introduced a new metric of lens sharpness that it’s calling the ‘Perceptual MegaPixel’. This is designed to give a simple, easily-understandable indication of how a lens impacts on the resolution of the camera with which it’s paired. The measurement is based on standard MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) testing, but also takes into account the sensitivity of the human visual system to detail. The data can be explored over at the DxOMark website.

Flickr has added the option to use the Aviary photo editing service, following Google’s decision to close the Picnik service that had previously been offered. Flickr users will be able to make basic edits and image corrections using Aviary which, unlike Picnik, is HTML 5-based – allowing its use on non-Flash devices such as the iPad. However, while Aviary offers similar cropping, filter and sticker options, it loses Picnik’s paintable curves adjustments and other more advanced options.
