The number of AI editing tools has taken an upswing. But with this advent of new tech comes a debate among photographers about striking a balance between efficiency and preserving their artistic vision. In this article, we'll explore what AI editing tools are here for, the challenges and benefits of using these AI tools, and how to achieve a harmonious balance between efficiency and creative expression.

We’re lucky. Digital camera features improve at a lightning-fast pace, but our real needs as photographers increase at a slower, more rational rate. Most photo enthusiasts are rightfully content using a model that’s two or three seasons behind in the “latest and greatest” race because it has every feature they need and then some. This is particularly true with DSLRs, a category that has recently been deemphasized by manufacturers pursuing the mirrorless bandwagon.

What does all this mean to you? It means that the DSLR you longed for when it was first introduced a few seasons back is still a viable, exciting imagemaker, and now you can own it at a cost much lower than when it debuted. MPB, the largest global platform to buy, sell and trade used photo and video gear, has hundreds of DSLRs in stock and priced ready to sell. And because MPB recirculates more than 485,000 pieces of photo equipment every year, you can offset the cost of your purchases via trade-in.

How long has it been since you cleaned out your camera equipment bag? Take a look right now. If you’re still hanging on to gear that you haven’t used in the past six months (six weeks for truly active photographers) it may be time to shed the old or underused stuff and buy the equipment you need to expand your abilities—and your portfolio. This is where MPB, the online platform to buy, sell or trade used photo and video gear, can help.

Benro is launching Theta and Theta Max travel tripods, the most exciting, innovative tripod series that combines intelligent modules, portability, stability, rapid deployment and—a world’s first—Auto-Leveling. Built for creators and visual storytellers of all types and skillsets, the Benro Thea series accepts swappable smart modules including a Battery Module, Camera Control, Optical Matrix Sensor and GoLive live streaming module. You can be one of the first to own this truly revolutionary intelligent tripod—and save a bundle—by participating in Benro’s Kickstarter campaign which closes on April 21, 2023. But hurry—slots for Backers are limited and going fast.

There are a lot of things you have to consider when picking the right photo editor. Recently, another totally new factor has appeared–a brand new operating system from Microsoft that is getting more widespread and is likely to become a new standard. If you are going to switch to Windows 11 and now wonder which photo editor to get, then you’ve come to the right place.

If you’ve been aching to switch from your bulky DSLR or underpowered compact to a mirrorless camera system but lack the dough to make it go, we have a solution for you. Get a trade in quote from MPB.
